This movie sort of hits home for me

Saw this for the first time in, idk, 20 years. All I remembered about it was when the widow drops Todd off in the woods and she drives away with the sad harmonica music and the approaching storm.

It makes me miss my childhood bff. We're born exactly 2 months apart (I'm the oldest) and our older sisters went to preschool together, so while they were at school, my mom would babysit. And in the summers they'd be at our house all the time too, and vice-versa. So we basically knew each other since we were 1, and were childhood best friends. But we've grown apart and we're totally different people now. Sure, I'd like to do stuff with him again but we have nothing in common anymore. We still talk to the family as of today. I'm getting myself out there and trying to make something of myself, while he is the total opposite. But I always reminisce about the good ol days. At least it's not like we still miss each other but we're not ALLOWED to see each other, like in this movie.

Like the proverbial cheese, I stand alone. Even while seated.

that's a tough one, man. I talked to a girl who used to WATCH Fox and the Hound with me... or maybe it was her little brother. Well, we talk and see each other when I visit but then I haven't seen my own cousin (six months older than me) in 5 years and she won't reply to me on Facebook in the 2 years I've attempted to talk to her. So... I dunno. Todd is right in his refusal to give up on Copper.

I hope Todd has a nice family with Vixie and enjoys life, but openly I admit I want him to keep trying with Copper. Just... keep watching out for him. Maybe let it be known he's still there, just in case. Copper chooses to toss Todd to the side, that's fine too. But I admire Todd; even at the END he's still there.

Friends from afar, but Copper's thinking of him too.

That's sad about your cousin.

2 years ago I was good friends with this girl who was in our social group but then she threw herself at one of my friends and they got married. While they were dating, I just all of a sudden felt very disconnected from her and have no desire to talk to her or hang out with her anymore. I feel bad, but people grow and change. Plus, she's really annoying now, but everyone thinks she's soooooooooo "adorable." It's disgusting. I've really tried to tolerate being around her now but I just can't. It's embarrassing. Most couples I've seen are not like they are. They keep all that mushy stuff to themselves, in private, but these people do way too much disgustingly lovey-dovey PDA. A little bit of PDA is fine, don't get me wrong but this is really pushing me away. But all I have to do is be civil and not say anything mean/rude to her. I feel like Garfield, while she's Nermal, the world's cutest kitty cat. Way too overly cute and perky and "adorable" and everyone loves it. And no I'm not jealous. Why would I be jealous of that? I'm content with my life. But everything was just fine before she threw herself at him. She was calmer, quieter and more fun to be around. The only consolation is, at least she's not a huge bitch and she is nice. But she seems to have the mentality of a child, and her "alter ego" is a children's cartoon character that she often imitates. The worst part is, I'm forced to be civil and nice around her and I'm often forced to have to see her too. The only reason I want to go to social gatherings is to see my other friends, but of course she has to go too.

Like the proverbial cheese, I stand alone. Even while seated.
