Do you have any friends since birth? Or early childhood? Do you still talk to them?

I had 2 friends at birth, I stopped seeing one a few years ago because, he got weird. lol And the other I still see every week. He sleeps over every friday. :p

I still stay in touch with a friend I met in 6th grade. :) We're not as close as we used to be, but still fun to talk and catch up on things. :cool:

I still keep up with my closest friends. My best friend from kindergarten is married to my brother.

I see them when I go home to OKC during the summer. My closest friend lives in Los Angeles, but is moving back to Portland, OR soon. She has been out here to see me a couple of times in the last few years. Guess it's my turn to head west. :lol:

I guess I'm privileged...I still see people from 3rd grade on a regular basis, and in a months time I'm taking a 4-day trip with 9 of my high school buddies...I pretty sure there will be farting, belching with powerdrinking in between...Old friends are the best kind.

Is that really you?
Well nice to see you there old friend....

With a few. My very oldest friend (his mother & my mother were best friends in high school) and I don't talk too much anymore. We played together all the time as little kids, and hung out together from the times we were left in a playpen together *g* all the way through college. I ought to call him up, I miss him! He's moved back to our hometown and is working in his family's business.

Right now, the friend I've known the longest whom I'm still in touch with was in my Girl Scout troop in fifth grade :) We've known each other since I was eleven and she was ten. We just got back in touch again thanks to the lovely classmates.com. :angel:

I've always moved around so much being a Military Brat, but the friend I've had for the longest time is 18 years! Her name is ZoeAnn, I have lost touch with her only last year. I got a Christmas card. We were everyday, everynight friends, when we weren't working. Thing is, and I feel horrible about this, but last time she visited a couple years ago, it had changed. We have lived apart for over 10 years and everytime we meet up, it's like yesterday, but that no longer happens, maybe it was inevitable. Anyway, I feel like we've grown apart and we were struggling to make conversation. I still care for her deeply and often reminisce with other friends about or antics, but I'll always be there for her is she needs me! :thumb:

Ahh what a sad story Trixter.

Because I moved around quite a bit during my early childhood I never managed to keep in touch with many people. There was one guy, the son of one of my mother's friends who I always went for holidays with up until the age of 16. Then we sort of drifted apart and lost contact.

My oldest friend who I still see regularly is someone who used to live down that road from me when I was 11 years old. So he is an old friend who I always make an effort to see at least once a year and keep in contact by phone and e-mail in between visits.

No

I have two friends that live in Illinois that I keep in contact with every few months. I've known both of them for over forty years.

I don't talk to any of mine basically because I don't know where most of them are. I only know of three. One became a hairstylist, the other a stay-at-home-mom, and the third I saw her in 1993 on a made for TV movie called "The Man With Three Wives" (it just aired on Lifetime last week). She had a small part in the movie playing the daughter of one of the wives.

Yeah, I still got a few around. We get together to see wrestling events when it comes to town, but don't keep in regular contact too much...we're all pretty busy people.

There is one girl that I keep in touch with. Whenever she has a boyfriend, or as the case is now, a husband, she kind of forgets about me. So, I just recently decided not to try so hard anymore, its not good for my self esteem. We have known each other since we were 5.
There is another girl whom I've known since I was about 3. We lost touch for many years, and then a few years ago, I looked her up on the internet, and we e-mail each other all the time now. Its so neat that we have become good friends again. She was in NYC last year, and we met up for a couple of hours. We were going to check out some sights, but got caught up talking, and then by the time we new it, we had to leave.
Neat though, huh?

I have five friends I've had since I was a teenager and we still hang out. Our kids call us "Uncle" we spend Holidays together and everything.

LOL @ Not Man. :lol: Dude! You sound like my kind of anti-social person. :D

To answer the question, NO! Moved around way to much because of Dad's military career. Finally settled down in high school. Still have a few friends lingering from then. Living 2,000 miles from them though, we don't tend to get together to often.

Not really. I do see some now and than. Usually when out shopping. I try to blend in but to no avail... they always see me! :p We end up chatting some than exchanging phone numbers. Neither of us ever calls. :rolleyes:

Actually Shakey I am not a antisocial person I did have freinds in school believe it or not. :) In fact I had one friend that I made in kindergarten and we were friends right through high school. Two of my other friends I made in the third grade and we were friends right through high school and for a few years after. For some reason I lost contact with all three. :( One of the three was like a brother to me we would hang out all the time. Right now I don't have any close friends.....I guess just acquintances. For some reason I make a friend and lose them I don't know what I do wrong I am a nice person and get along with people. :confused:

**Disclaimer- - This by no means is to be taken as me whining so don't take it that way**

I still keep in touch with three of my childhood friends (we all live in different towns). The first one comes up twice a month and the other two I call or e-mail 2 to 3 times a year. The first I've been friends with since the 7th grade and the other two since 1st grade.

I can honestly say I do still keep in touch with some of my childhood friends. I just saw some of them out 2 weeks ago. It was great to see them. As for my highschool friends I see them every weekend. They are the best friends in the world.

Like Trixter, I'm a military brat too so keeping in touch with people was hard for me because I would just stop writing or lose their address. I keep in touch with my best friend that I've known since 1st grade, our families got along really well, that's probably the main way I keep in touch with her. I just recently got in touch with a really good friend that I met in England. I knew her from 3rd grade-6th grade. Then I moved to Alabama. A few months later she called me to tell me that she had just moved to Alabama too. Man, she was the best. Well, we lost touch after I moved and then in August I got an email from her. She found me on a "Military Brats" website. That was soooo cool!!! Now we email each other all the time and call each other.

I am in touch with a freind form 3rd grade everyday, we have been close friends for 7 years. We take a break now and then to make things interesting instead of unpredictable. I also speak with 2 other people from school. I will say I have tried to speak with a few of them and it seems that they never left high school. Although I am still young , I think it is time to move on and grow up some what sometime. In there case hthere has been no improvement.:lol: ;)

I have a friend that I have been friends with since "birth" too. I am the Godmother of her daughter. I still have my high school friends, that I've known since 9th grade. Though we've scattered ourselves across the US, we email each other almost everyday. Most of my friends are "life-long" friends. I hardly loose touch with anyone...except a certain ex-boyfriend or ex-husband! :p

Oh! And I just recently got in touch with an old neighbor from when I was 5 years old and lost touch when we were about 23?
He lives in Ireland now! It was cool to hear from him!

:lol: Never took it as such.

I used to be the most extroverted person among my friends. Just changed as I grew older. Learned to like having my "alone" time.

Still with a a few ones. I'm in contact with a friend I met when I was a child, he's married and moved out of the city 5 years ago, so we cannot meet often currently. But we keep in touch. And a girl I met at school 20 years ago is my friend yet; however she got married recently and her husband is so jealous that is making impossible to keep our friendship on.

I only still talk to one of my childhood friends I've known her for about 13 years but I don't see her very often,maybe once every few months.

My best friend since "birth" is Cindi. I think I posted her family on here. A few others from HS I still talk with through email on a weekly basis....but other than that....Cindi is the best friend a girl could have. :D I am glad that we survived all the stuff that we did...makes it easier to appreciate each other.

I moved around a lot as well. There are three friends I still keep in touch with, one I've known for about 15 years and the other two I've known since kindergarten. I went to two different ones and even though we ended up at school together they've never really spoken. But I love them both dearly and they've been through everything with me.

I got in touch with a childhood friend and then lost touch with her again, which is a real shame. I'm trying to locate some old high school friends now. Wish me luck.

Well, there is my best friend...we know each other since grammar school and used to hang around together all through the 80s - we were almost like siamese twins!
Today, we still see each other regulary, but not as often as it used to be. I´m sometimes missing the good old days when we hung around in the park with a sixpack and a ghettoblaster blaring Depeche Mode all the time... ;)

Funny thing happened yesterday...met an old friend I haven´t seen for over 10 years. I had always thought of calling him, but never mustered enough courage. Guess I will try it tonight...

No I don't have any friends :cry:
We moved around alot when i was a kid, not because of the military but because my mom always got bored :lol:

Well, I don't know why I didn't think of posting this topic myself. Having said that, I regularly keep up with one good friend of mine from my high school days. I would very much like to track down the others. I went to Apex High School in Apex, North Carolina, and I was a drummer in the percussion section of our high school band. I got to know a lot of the band members, and I considered them very good friends, as well as others from that high school. If anyone went to that high school and sees this, post a reply to this. This is truly a grea place to relive the decade of excess, and a good place to just hang out. :D

Good topic.....
Sort of still in touch with some of them. I email my very good friend who is in Mississippi and his family are still in my town, so I try to keep up to date with his goings on.
Another friend (?) ....well, someone who I have known since the second grade (we're almost 40 now!) still is in town and we run into each other all of the time. We were best friends from the second grade up until 8th but then she started getting into trouble and hanging out with different people.
I recently had my 20th high school reunion....we had individual school group photos (grade schools)..there were about 14 of us from our grade school. I have that photo and display it right next to one from our grade school days. Pretty kewl....picture of us as children and now as adults.
