To follow up on the topic of conversations I've been involved with recently in multiple places, and in celebration of my recent renewal of my paid account, the nifty features of which I basically never use, here is a

[Poll #946037]

I realized belatedly that my poll omitted a crucial pair of questions: How much do your spatially-close and emotionally-close friendships overlap, and how much would you like them to?

Consider it added and answer it here if you want to. For me the answer is: Enough to be tolerable, but not enough to be perfectly satisfactory. I think I would like maybe a 50% overlap (critical mass, but still excuses to travel). This is basically impossible, though ;).

They overlap by one (my husband) and of course I would like them to overlap by more. You might be able to say they overlap by 1-2 more people, but it's a stretch. I'm sad that all of my closest people live far away! This is why I put "meh"...that and my husband and I are so busy we don't do enough social stuff. We do much more than most married couples, though.

Yeah, I'm with you. Unlike eirias I don't generally treat travel excuses as an asset ;). (And if I want to travel, its for characteristics of the *place*, eg all those Roman ruins I've not seen, or the incredible weirdness that is Dubai).

It's the weird kind of asset that promotes acquisition of debt. :)
