    Is this just a board to you? Do you really care about the people here? Have you made "real" friends here???

    Yes, I care about people here, and I consider many to be my friends. When my wife was hospitalized, she received flowers from two people here, a gift from one, and cards from over a dozen people, plus phone calls from many. I think all of that support helped boost her spirits and helped her recover.

    Not in the sense of having that one-on-one friendship, obviously. I do remember most of us here have that one common bond and leave it at that. If'en' anyone of us are able to establish a relationship beyond that, then great. I do know that there is love and concern for each other, most of the time anyhow.

    Friends are people you can trust. People here are entertaining and helpful, but for me there is not basis yet for trust. Don't feel bad; I don't trust anyone at the KH and they aren't even entertaining or helpful.

    I do consider many my friends I have had many conversations with several and I know that I could count on them in a minute. And I hope that they feel the same way about me. I love people easily and I am a good judge of people. But look out for the person who double crosses me, then that is a different story and I can say that has not happened on the board with anyone. I have had some strange e-mails from some and sent viruses and I am hoping that it didn't orginate here. When I was depressed i had some great assistance from some of the girls in here. And I know in a minute if I were to email or talk to them in forum they would give me a listening ear and give me their private number . So yes I view almost everyone here as my best friend. And I would hope that most would consider me their friend as I have met several of you and I was delighted and happy as a kiity in litter to meet you. So please be assured of my love and respect for all of you.

    Minimus:

    I used to call the people I cared about in the kingdom hall "the friends."

    If I could call them friends, I guess I can call the people here friends.

    Webster's Dictionary -

    Friend - one attached to another by esteem and affection; an intimate associate; a supporter

    ((((((to all my new cyber-friends))))))

    besides, Simon says this is the place to "meet new friends"

    I've met some wonderful people here. I have made a few friends that snail mail and phone and I'm planning to meet. I consider windchaser a real friend. I trust her more than any friend I've known. She's like a sister to me. Xena and cassi also.

    Sorry if that sounds naive.

    We've shared losses, death, tears, laughter, joy, sorrow. Isn't that what a friend is?
