Part 0800.0005

I got asked a strange question last night by my mum. I was generally talking about the forum & daily topics when she asked.."who is your best forum friend"? I really had to think who that was. Do I have one, or several?

So hope I didn't offend anyone..I said..

Couperwife

lwescot

Cinnamon

Christian

 

Those were the ones that I thought of first & mainly because I can relate to them the most. Everyone on here is obviously a friend - but these were my chosen few.

Awwwwwwwwww

 

I don't feel the need for a proper 'best friend' as I had when I was a child,as I have my Hubby & my girls now

But I do consider several people on here among the closest friends I have

[chickencam]

That's a very hard question to answer, because the support network on here is so good.

 

My Non-virtual best friend is my hubby closely followed by my children.

 

People that I miss most when they are not on the forum are Claret, Lesley, Cinnamon, & Couperwife for making me laugh.

[craftyhunnypie]

Yes that's what I went off. The people who help me most, make me laugh - have good ideas etc. I never had a best friend in reality - & not too many friends through school as was bullied terribly. Most of my friends were from other countries when I was at Salzburg Uni & we lost touch.

10 years ago, I met up with my best friend from primary school and some other school friends from that time. I had gone to a different secondary school, and moved away from the area with my studies. It was sad - they'd stayed in the town where i grew up, we got on well but had very little in common

 

I now have a couple of very close friends, and a wide circle of other friends. Through this forum, over the years, I have met and made some really good friends.

I'm very lucky - I have at least three 'best' friends, and six other very good friends who I could ask for help, ring up if I need to rant about something, and invite to celebrate with me. In fact I have just returned from a birthday trip to Paris with eight of them! I have lots of other friends who are less close and whom I see a bit less often, but still enjoy their company.

 

Whilst I'd like to think I have some Forum Friends (although I haven't had the chance to meet many of you in person) they are different to my real-life friends. The Mods are a very friendly lot!

[Space Chick]

I'd go one further and say that I have become so close to some forum friends in real life that I have got to think of them more as family than friends.

 

I'm not going to name names, but I'm sure my extended family know who they are

[craftyhunnypie]

This forum is so lovely - it makes you feel all warm and wanted. After being bullied through school & work most of my life - believe me it is needed. Just love this forum.

N'aww

 

I have different groups of friends - from school, the 2 drama groups, Uni, chicken friends - so lots of good friends, would class the group of friends from school as my 'best' friends who I miss seeing and going out with, the most.

 

There are a few people on here that I get on really well with and speak to most days

Others that you might not speak to for a few weeks or have never met, but are always there to talk to

[Christian]

Aww, nice thread

 

I have one or two that I speak to most days on here/email/phone. A couple I don't speak to as often as I should, all busy, but know I can count on them if I need them.

 

One who's sense of humour has me chuckling into my tea most days. Plus one who I call and spend hours on the phone to usually late at night!!
