> I guess you are just going to have to trust that if something like that was *really* important to me...or anyone...they'd speak up. Accomodating one another is what friends, and family, do. We recognize the needs of others and allow for those needs. We hope others will allow for our need too. This truly is OK Racer. Really. It means "I like you enough to want you to be comfortable." Just like I kept my cell out on the table because I have a kid who might need me. It is (slightly) rude at dinner, but necessary. Actually, it was very brave of you to speak up and say what you needed. A lot of people don't do that and end up suffering not so silently.

EXACTLY.
spI want to reiterate that our visit was by far the best part of my trip. By far. Most definitely. Absolutely. Indisputably. It made me feel good about myself, that I actually have friends who want to spend time with me, no matter how horribly I feel about myself.
This is important.
