I must be the freak cause I am still friends with my buddies that I grew up with. My closest friend only lives 20 minutes aways with his wife and kids but I have know him since 10th grade...about 25 years. I have friends that I have known in excess of 30 years. We all moved away from where we grew up and it doesn't matter if we don't speak for away, but when we are going camping, ususally, they ditch their wives and girlfriends and we have a drunk, sh*tfaced weekend.
Sorry about the 'loser" job bud. Mr. DB: you crack me up with your pictures (under your name). I think this one looks like a characature of you. The one before the cat.
