Thanks so much for your reponse.

Right now I have the following code:

has_many :friendships_by_me,
           :foreign_key => ''user_id'',
           :class_name => ''Friendship'' do
     def posts
      Post.find(:all,
                :include => {:user, :friendships},
                :conditions => [''friendships.user_id = ?'',
self.id])
     end

which should work but self.id is returning the id of the Friendship
class.  How do I get it to return the id of the user?

Thanks,
Alex
