Two Questions

Jan 20, 2009 01:27

First a question for all of you.

Would you consider someone a friend, a good friend, if you never saw them but maybe 2 or 3 times a year face to face?  I mean if you talked to them all the time via phone or online but didn't really seem them in person.  Just wondering others opinions on this matter as I had this conversation with a friend of mine ( Read more... )

HA ! I had this conversation with Julie last week. See we've been friends - good friends - through thick, thin, psycho ex-husbands, psycho ex-boyfriends, kids' problems, parent's deaths etc for 10 years.

We've never met face to face -- we've been online friends for yes that long. She lives in California and she truly is one of my closest friends. I've known her longer than pyllgrum --- in fact she knows both of us but nope never managed to be at the same place at the same time. I guess friendship is a matter of perspective.

Too early for profound questions - what is your favourite color for lingerie?

Good answer.

And now for mine.

I would have to say a tie between black (always slimming and sexy) and dark purple, cause that's hubby's favorite color so we both like it.

Hugs, miss you and your terrific hubby!

One of my great friends, whom I met in the military, oh about 17 years ago (I'm dating myself), speak to each other about 3 times a year via the internet and exchange Christmas cards. I still consider her a great friend and if I REALLY needed to chat, she would be there.

yes,I would. I even have a childhood friend that I have known since I was 6 years old. She lives in the same town, but our family's demands and lives are such that we physically get together maybe 4 times a year. But we still are connected - phone, email,etc.

A good friend is not defined by geography. A good friend is a bonding of the heart. Someone you know, love, and care about, and you are able to support their emotional needs on some level - and in return, they are able to do that for you, too.

I currently have close, good friends that live in other states. Just because we are not in each other's presence on a regular basis, doesn't make them any less of a friend, and I consider them good and close and they know a lot about me and my life, and I theirs.

Some how I feel like this question should be directed at me... I think it honestly depends on a couple of things. 1) That both parties are doing what they can to keep in touch, 2) That people are honest with each other no matter what and 3) That both people need to understand that sometimes things get in the way and make it harder to talk...ie births, deaths, work, school. But I think that if two friends have things in common and know that they can depend on the other even if it is someone to talk to at a random hour of the night then I can see no reason for them not to be a true friend. Although sometimes I really do ponder this myself...

Love ya!

PS... Where can I get the Cd with Virgin Sturgeon on it? I have had that song stuck in my head for about two years now thanks to you :-P
