    My response to the question of the day: i have known my longest friend for about 25 or more years. We moved to the small town of Eufaula, AL when I was in 4th grade and that is how I met her entire family...we are not as close as we were way back then, but we keep in touch with FB :bigsmile:

    I've known my longest friend for 22 years. Hard to believe it's been that long and when I read this question and called him to tell him, he couldn't believe it either, lol. We met at the bust stop on my first day in a new school and him and his sister were the only two people who were nice to me.

    I don't have any friends. I'm basically by myself, except for my husband. I've known him for two years. I've moved around.

    My oldest friend Tracey was my next door neighbour when I was 4 and she was 6, I'm 45 now. Saw her in march it is always fine tho not living in the same country limits our contact a little!

    You know it's nice to know that even with miles between friends and weeks/months between visits...you seem to pick up where you left off previously.

    I have another friend that has been one of my best friends since 91 and we met the 2nd half of our freshmen year in high school, she was one of the first people to ever speak to me. Even through some rough patches we always go back to the way it was before our "falling out". Our friendship is a little strained and has been since I married my husband (he's not a huge fan of her...LOL), but we do still try to have lunch occassionally and email each other all the time.

    Same here. Left a lot of drama behind. Some times I wish I would have kept in better contact, but then....

    My oldest friend I meet was my 1st year of high school... we still keep in touch. When I go home we always hang out like it was back in the day. That was 15 years ago.

    I don't have much for friends outside of my family either but I do have a few people I keep in touch with through facebook. One of which if she were to live in the same state as me I am sure we would hang out on a regular basis. I met her in Junior High so I've known her for about 19 years. She was there for me through alot. She even keeps in touch with my kids and they call her auntie although they weren't even old enough to remember the last time they saw her.

    I had a suprise visit at work from a girl I was friends with in 5th grade just the other day too... Facebook is awesome!

    I think my oldest friend is my friend Eric. We met at camp in grade 7 and have kept in regular contact since! I can't even believe we're still in touch but it means a lot to me.

    Blah. So not the question for me!
    The person I have known the longest is my ex-fiance (as of one week, still trying to recover) :/
    I met him when I was 7 years old, he was 5.
    His family had moved into the house a door down from mine.

    QOTD - My longest friend would be Patti - we met when she was just a teen and I was in my early 20's. Her mom had died and she was being passed from foster home to foster home. Although there was a few years age difference we had an instant connection. 15 years ago she moved to to mn from wi. Although we have lost each other other over the years because of life when we do talk or get together it does not matter if it has been a day or a year since we have talked you would not know it - we are just that close!

    I met my oldest friends (that I've had for the longest time?) in the 6th grade. They're sisters and we were all new to the county so we bonded over that :)

    Also, I'm totally going to do all 3 parts of the challenge tomorrow so that I can lose a bit more for the weigh-in Friday >.<
