LeviF Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Yeah, my best friend Pat. He grew up two streets down from me and we went to the same neighborhood preschool. After college we actually landed in the same city but throughout college around Christmas or whatever we'd make a point of hanging out. Some of the other guys that we ran with starting in elementary school landed nearby as well. I've noticed that guys tend to value and hold on to long-term friendships more than the fairer sex.
HopsGuy Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 I go on a yearly golf trip that includes guys I’ve known since first grade. I’ve had friends come and go but some are solid for life. And @LeviF91, one of those guys has a younger sister. She and her group of friends (about 6 or so) do an annual girls trip. I love seeing those pictures on FB from Vegas, Nashville, Boston (one girl’s cousin pitches for the Sox), Key West, NYC. Great bunch of ladies.
Augie Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 One guy I met in 4th grade. We stayed in touch thru college, and we attended each other’s weddings. Visits on rare occasions if we are in the same city. We actually text mostly about the Bills weekly. Another guy I knew was more the first guy’s friend is on those texts. Last trip to WNY I tried to look up another guy from that same group. I’ve got a TON of contacts in my phone, some I have no idea who they are, but Rich got lost along the way. I do text regularly and do home & home visits with a college buddy annually. That’s fun to get back.

Kind of like me. I have a couple from grade school, a couple from high school, several from college, and several former co-workers. Weird thing is since about twenty years ago women who would never talk to me in high school have come seeking me out. We talk for several minutes then I excuse myself. I am not going to jeopardize my marriage. I have one childhood friend that went to a different school that it gets difficult for me. Had great times but at times he could be a real Richard. I saw him a while back and said I wished he still lived down the road from me. Then I got to thinking about the times he really got me upset about some things. 1

It's the final rut for these does. Don't fall for it! LoL... If you do, you're in for a world of hurt. Need help? Call: 1-800-Get- @Gugny there is always an operator on the line!
Bad Things Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 The last time I was back in the States was a little over two years ago. My old crew got together for some well-needed debauchery, with some of them flying in from out of state. It was a real eye-opener. The ones that remained living in the region are still exactly the same and still even talk about the same stuff. I love them all dearly, but man it was depressing. Get out there and see what this crazy world is all about! 1
mead107 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 No close friends from childhood. 1 or 2 times a year may run into someone from high school.

I lived in Williamsville and parts east during high school. Went to St Joes. Had two TOTALLY different set of friends, then moved away at 17 for college. Parents left WNY after that, so I rarely got back. Lost track of most of those people. That’s life......
LewPort71 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Does Mrs. Lew count ? we were in second grade together... 2

I always thought that it was a matter of the Seinfeld observation about having the stink of responsibility on me. I may not be rich but I am definitely not the kind of guy who would wind up on COPS either. What little I have heard is that a lot of them have less than successful marriages or can't get into a good relationship. Most of them are doing well in terms of career.
