How Long Is Your Oldest Friendship?

Posted 5 months ago One that's still ongoing, that is. Being a geezer, I suppose I have an advantage (but there's a downside, too - friends pass on.). My oldest ongoing friendship has lasted about forty-six years. He's a friend I made in the Marines.

| Posted 5 months ago It is difficult to answer this question in numbers for me. I gree with you debo: once I have friends, I keep them . There're occasional periods of passiveness within the frienshi- meaning: long time no see (or hear)...but time is probably irrelevant if the frienship is real. |

| Posted 5 months ago Since I moved a lot as a kid I don't have that many friends from then. I made friends in the ninth grade that I still have today. I know that is not very long compared to most, but it has been 16 years since then. I am still friends (and we keep in touch) with four of my best friends from high school.Since high school I have acquired a few more friends that I pal around with. When I make friends, we are friends. Every cloud has a silver lining. |

| Posted 5 months ago Nan and I have been best friends since the 7th grade (about 28 years). We too have been through our ups and downs of friendships, however, I would not trade her for the world. She now lives in Georgia and I live in Alaska. We still keep in close contact even though it has been 15 years since we last saw each other. I have long lasting friends in Alaska also. Kathy and I have been good friends since our kids went to Kindergarten together, that was 14 years ago. |

Hey Mr. Crisp, I believe the expression you were looking for is "lucked-out" (means "got lucky")... your oldest friendship is 6 years old? That's fairly youthful...have you moved around a lot? or maybe you just don't keep-in-touch very well? Just wondering... |

| Posted 5 months ago I have four friendships that are 41 years long and still going strong. The five of us all met during a political campaign in 1968 and we get together several times a year. Our wives/husbands and children are now friends with all of us and each other. "What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches." - Karl Menninger |

Eugene or Bobby? I'm betting Eugene.

| Posted 5 months ago My friends from High School were not the best people to be around and I didn't want my kids around that type of life. I have also been out of touch with almost everyone while going through college.

Oh no, now you all know my age. I don't look it, do I?
Sorry, I am just being silly this last week of school, I work with four men and I'm the only women in the class and we like to incorporate humor into out lessons! I can honestly say this is the best year I've had since I went back into teaching!
