UKGIRL28 Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Im still in touch with a friend I went to elementary school with, we were both 5yrs old when we first met, and we lived only 3 houses away from each other...I wouldnt say she was my closest friend as I only see her once a year - she lives miles away from me now - but we still keep in touch from time to time and i know I can rely on her for advice...not a close friend but my one and only OLDEST friend!

THOTH Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 I still have a good freind whom I've known since th first grade and we've been good friends since the forth. Additioanlly - I still keep in close touch and am friends with a group of about a dozen or more folks that I've know since before High School. We were friends through High School and have remained good friends. In fact a bunch of us are getting together this weekend for a sort of a camping excursion. Ocassion being that one of our "gang" is back in the area visiting from out of town (always a good reason). And even though many of our bunch have moved away to different places (soem different countries) we stay in touch and always get together and visit if possible. And its just as if no time has past between us - in many ways - we know each other so well. I'm actually a large part of keeping the group trogether - I usssually know how to get in touch with everyone and I keep up the contacts. I'm also almost always the organizer of get togethers - such as this one comming up tomorrow...Other often comment about how well we stay together and remain friends - and I have to agree - its a very special thing. It is very important and rewarding for me...(and its funny - even my kids like when we get together with my old friends - they mix in well - and everyone is really good with them - even when many don't have kids of theri own. And with some - our kids are playing together and such when we get together - its amlmost like they have another set of cousins) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKGIRL28 Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Yeah, I cant wait until myself and all my friends start having kids - boy that is going to be fun! lol A lot of us have partners, but not married yet... and a few are still single! Roll-on the weddings! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOTH Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Yeah UKGIRl - its really fun getting together with my friends who have children and seeing our kids play - while we get together and talk & such ourlseves. Unfourtunalty most of my old friends are childless - and many not even married or such (or worse - not even seeing anyone...and some have had pretty poor luck there...oph well)...but I/we do have some good friends with kids - and we getr togetrher fairly often - at each others homes and sometimes we do a camping trip, or go to an amusemtrnpark or other fun outing...yeah its very satisfying and rewarding and fun...

UKGIRL28 Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 I guess sometimes, you know who your friends are when you start living in the real world, the ones who are still your friends are your true friends, and thoes who you thought were, are gone, or moved away or have changed... its a bit sad but C'est La Vie!!! I read in a womens' mag that we have an average of 7 REAllY close friends. Each one with something to offer which is why we keep in contact with them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheekY Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 i still keep in touch with my "best friend" but we're kind of drifting apart...so i'm thinking...if a person can turn out to be someone else after years of friendship...there's no true friendship except the one with your husband or wife... i thought kavorkin was married...

Sip Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 I haven't had any contact at all with any friends from before college. I know how to get a hold of one or two from highschool but that's it. Middle school ones are left in Germany and other middle school elementary school ones are back in Iran.

Azat Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 My best friend, was a neighbor of ours in Armenia, and then we came to US but 10 years later they did as well and we are best friends to this day. I also met a guy on my first day in elementary (I started middle of the year in 6th grade) and we are good friends till today. Somewhat have drifter apart because of different interests and he has a family now and I do not. I have a very close friend that I have known since 9th grade. She and are best buds. But all my other friends are post college days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel4hope Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 hyebruin--u should be labeled a guru--the broosterina guru--know it all--hehe-- seems like u have d answers 2 everything--and i very much agree w/ur above post--i feel the same way-if you have to" walk on eggshells" as you said - around a person, then theyre not worth u wasting ur time over--a friend should always be caring and insightful and someone you can go to regarding anything--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasun Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 I am not particularly good in keeping in touch with friends, so I get pretty much the same treatment most of the time. But I do have a few very close friends from childhood or from early college years who I miss very much, unfortunately I have lost their contacts and some of them do not even know on what continent I am (frankly I myself don't know for sure in what part of the world they are). In general I have noticed as soon as someone gets married he disappears from sight and you never hear from him again What is it about getting a wife? Is it a jealousy thing or what? Maybe its only my experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyebruin Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 thanks sweet angel ...i try to remain humble though...i am NO guru...just go with what feel right in my gut...after using the brain to break things down into chunks, we need to seek the wisdom of our intuition to guide us in life!!--'cause if you solely rely on logic and analytical thinking all the time, you just might run into trouble!! ---sad, how most people don't get this!

Sasun Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Bruin jan, I think you are a little too harsh, particularly on men. I mean you seem to require too much that is often not possible to get. people are ordinary people after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see your post on "men!" but when I saw after replying here I figured that's what exactly I meant Yes, Bruinchik, you are too harsh on us poor men Well, my stance is this: take people as they are, do not try to change or educate them by listing an endless array of requirements (and threatening with scary punishments if they deviate from the rules ). Instead, try to find good parts in their nature as they all have a good nature in some way or another. And try to give more than require, otherwise it looks like a trade and I don't see much difference between such a relationship and a relationship with a hooker (OK, I admit it's a bit of a strange comparison but please try to see my point ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
