Friendships over 30

I am finding that the drama of female relationships really doesn't change whether you are 12, 16, 21 or 32. This fact is so annoying! In the last year I have lost two really good friends and have been burned pretty badly by these women. From afar I can see another burned friendship coming and I am trying to cut it off at the pass before it even happens. Whining to Frank doesn't help, going to other girlfriends is like gossiping so I have just been praying for this friend, hoping she will mature in time, and desperately looking for dark chocolate hidden in the depths of my pantry(because of small, crazy dog)!
