Haha! You may not be able to ignore yourself, but you can put yourself on the buddy list! A little conceited if you ask me....

You know I was also going to mention sometime Alex, that I wondered what would happen if I put my name on my own buddy list. And now I have my own pretty little plus sign next to my online name same as all my specially selected friends. But far from being conceited I really think it's kind of spiritually uplifting.
Who wants to ask me why?:wink: :big_grin:

Well it's true for all of us in certain ways.
At my old Presbyterian Church in my former hometown a lay preacher once preached about how we are told to love our neighbour as we love ourselves. And I've never forgotten how he said that we really do find it easy to love ourselves in many ways. When we stub our toe or hit our finger with a hammer we nurse the injured body part and do all we can to make it feel better. Or if we are starving or afflicted with the flu we don't tell our bodies to just sit still and quietly suffer. We do what we can to relieve the suffering with food or medication respectively.

And I think taking it even further when we're alone and feel bored we ask ourselves what we would like to do or if we're sad and depressed our inner minds tell us maybe we should seek out counsel or advice from somewhere. And if we realize there is danger involved in some situation we watch out for ourselves saying "Be careful".
So in many little ways all of us really are friends individually with ourselves are we not? :wink:

So who wants to know why I find it spiritually uplifting? (I've already said a portion of the answer :big_grin: )

I found that funny too that you could be your own buddy but not ignore yourself. That's very good reasoning though Marty, I never thought of it like that.
