    My MFP friends have to be okay with the fact that I ignore my own feed, I ignore my own wall, I ignore everyone else's feed, I ignore everyone else's wall, I have my settings set so that you don't know when I completed my diary, exercised, logged on or lost a half pound and I only communicate in the open conversations on the threads and in my groups and very rarely PM. Which is probably why I have only one MFP friend who does things exactly the same way.

    In real life I'm a chatty friendly type who is friends with whoever's friendly back to me with very few restrictions. I mean, I just have friend friends though. Not roll in the hay friends if you know what I mean because that's just gross.

    So you're saying that potential MFP friends have to be ready for a roll in the hay?

    We all have our little ‘things’ that make or break a friendship. What are yours? Mfp or real life, serious or not, what must we do or not do to be your friend?

    1) Have to show mutual respect.

    2) Have to put as much effort as I do.

    Well if it's a literal roll in the hay with horses overseeing our activities and we're at no risk of being kicked or trampled I guess it's okay as long you bring a lint roller and clean off my red and white checkered shirt and denim jodhpurs after.

    But no one else can

    Don't judge me.

    Keep phone calls brief and to the point I have things to do.

    We can sound Canadian together

    Can I do that successfully without calling anyone a hoser?

    Yes because I have only ever called someone a hoser when I've tried to sound stereotypically Canadian to my American friends

    Y'all hosers make me laugh like a beaver eating maple syrup with it's webbed paw on Tuesday.

    Good, because I hate the word hoser and I don’t want to sound stereotypically Canadian.

    Kinda like ‘eh’. I very rarely hear Canadians say this. I think it’s harder and harder to nail an accent anymore because everything keeps blending.

    Be positive. I don't need any negativity.

    Unless we are in a hurricane, tsunami, hail storm, or some other bizarre weather incident, or unless the temperature is above 100 f or below 0 f, do not complain about the weather to me (especially if you don't work outside and sit in an office all day.)
