Thanks for posting these, Rachel!

I think my favorites are the ones about friendship and the last one about the dead tree. And they're really making me think, especially this bit:

He would not readily accept a favor, but would gladly confer one.

Because I think I do that. Only I think it's more that I feel bad when other people go to trouble over me and don't like asking for help than me wanting to be on higher ground in the friendship...and it had never occurred to me that it could be read that way. *ponders*

P.S. You were right that calling my boss was a good idea. And I woke up in plenty of time to do it. :)
