Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Sirius XM Triumph 11.

Karen, welcome to the program. Thank you, Dr. Laura. I'm a long-time listener and have enjoyed your programs for a very long time.

Thank you.

This situation that I'm about to explain

probably seems minimal in the grand scheme of life.

But it's about friendship,

and I do take friendship extremely seriously.

A year ago, I turned 65, and four of my good friends took me out to celebrate for dinner.

Two of them gave me, you know, very, very nice, very thoughtful gifts.

The other two did not, and not that that matters, but what did

matter- Obviously, it does. Yeah. Go ahead. Yeah, you're right. You're right. The other one of them said

to me, oh, you know, I didn't bring your gift.

This is really important.

It's your 65th.

I'm going to get it to you.

And the other one said or had given me a card and inside it said that, you know, she wanted to take me to a spot for the day and we had to pick a date and that type of thing.

Well, it's a year later and I haven't heard anything about either one of those two things.

And I guess it just really confuses me.

And I'm not a materialistic person, but I...

Yes, you are. Come on. Stop saying what you're not. You had four people who took time out of

their lives to pay for you to go out to dinner and celebrate 65. I would have considered that

the gift. Well, I would too, and I did. Well, then you're not because you're making this call, so you're not.
