thanks, JL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
speaking of friend (lol), it reminded me of when he came to my church last week. i told my pastor ahead of time my boyfriend was going to visit.
pastor: how would you like for me to introduce him to the church? as your... "friend"?
me: pastor, he's my boyfriend.
him: ah so you give me permission to say that?
me: lol yes, pastor.
