Glad you are here. I have an objection to the word “friend” as it pertains to the Internet. How can one be a “friend” to someone he has never seen and whose real name is not known?

In college I talked to someone over the phone numerous times for reasons unimportant. The girl had the sexiest voice and I was convinced I wanted to see her, take her out and marry her. I finally got to see her. The voice was beautiful, but she was a heifer, weighing over 250 pounds and looked like, well, to put it bluntly, someone you don't want your mother to see. Just a small point, no need to reply and glad you are here FRiend.

Well, things happened, we shared email addresses, and learned each others real names. There are about four people I still correspond with six years since I left that other site.

As far as FR goes the folks on this site have been closer to me than my own family, especially when my husband died four years ago.

So...yeah, I consider them “friends” as well as “FRiends”!
