Some things recently made me think about the true friends that are in my life and I realized that I have known one of them for more than forty two years. We are in contact at least once a week or more frequently. How long have you known a friend that you still have contact with regularly? _____________________________________________ I may be a bad person, but at least I use my turn signal. | ||

35 years. We still BS on the phone quite a bit. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

A couple nearly 60 years. I don’t get together often with anyone, and we saw very little for decades when I lived in Whackyland. Another for about 40 years, although we see each other less now, old age, poor health and distance. I’m still in touch with a lawyer I worked for in the ‘60’s. I’m still in touch for the only other surviving member of the polka band I worked for in hs and college. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Was at a buddies birthday party last weekend. Me and two buddies from middle school were talking and realized we've been friends for over a quarter century. We still get together a few times a year. Just hung up the phone with frat brother I've known for 19-20 years. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

I am 50 years old. I have known my best friend, and been best friends with him, for 45 years now. We meet when my family moved in across the street from him, and have been friends ever since | |||

We don't keep up as much as we used to, but about 22 years, 5th grade. After that, less than 10. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

I have contact with a few from high school days, more than 60 years ago, but I don't see them very often--I did visit one in 2011. For a friend I see fairly regularly, one of my Best Friends I met in 1978 and we see each other every couple of months, and e-mail at least once a week. My other Best Friend dates back to 1973--I last saw him in 2014. I also saw a few other friends from 1971 in 2014--they're in SC and I hope survived the hurricane OK (lost way to contact them). flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

About 40 years... but life and geography has affected the frequency of our interaction. When we are able to link up it's like the years between interaction have never happened, but the gap seems to get longer and longer. A penny saved is a government oversight. | |||

I've known my best friend 29 years. We talk or text frequently. My oldest friend goes back 37 years, but we aren't in regular contact. | |||

Still finding my way |
26 years. We went to school together from Jr High on and he now works for me. He has been a true friend and I am very thankful to have such a person in my life who hasn't given up on me. | |||

Gotta put my age in too for reference since some of you have had friendships longer than I've been alive. haha I'm 33. Longest "regular" friendship is 27 years. He was a grade above me but if you want to count his sister who is still someone I see a few times a year that would probably be 30 years. | |||

I'm 56. I've known my buddy for 46 years. We get together weekly at a minimum. He doesn't have may redeeming qualities but he is the one who turned me onto my 228 in 1994. On the negative side, he talked me out of a brand new MP5 in 1985. And, he won't sell me his unfired M1 carbine. | |||
