    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 >.<

    My gals and I have known each other since the 4th grade 1998, when I moved. They've known each since kinder. We all have different lives and cannot hang out daily much less weekly but for birthdays and Christmas we always find a way back to each other. I met them on my 1st day of school, I was the new girl but they were all so kind, showing me the ropes and all.

    A good friend of mine I have known for 10 years. Otherwise, my hub is my bud, so he's been my best friend for about 13 years.

    I know we said nobody related, but I think mine is an exception to the rule. I have been friends with my friend Jenny since kindergarten (so 25? years). We had a lot of the same classes in elementary school. Jenny is always loved me and stuck up for me. She moved away in middle school, but in high school she moved back and our friendship picked up right where it left off. She eventually married my cousin :heart:, I stood in her wedding, and we both teach at the same school now. So, she is one of my best friends, my cousin, and my colleague :love: .

    And, if that one doesn't count ;), my best friend Lynette and I have been friends since 6th grade (so 19 years?). Movies could be made about our friendship. We were incredibly close in middle school, but she moved out of state in 8th grade. We have lived in separate states since then, but even before email and Facebook, we have kept in touch and still remain close.

    Hello Little Diamonds and Shining Diamonds! This is my first Town Hall Meeting. :)

    I met my oldest friend when I was only 2. That was 35 years ago! Yikes, did I say that out loud? hehe.
    We are not close anymore, but we still keep tabs on each other through our families.

    I have known my oldest friend for 23 years. We were still in the womb.. Our parents were also childhood friends so we were destined to be besties.. We've grown a bit a part in the past few years, going our separate ways and such, but I'm sure we will be reconnecting soon..

    Thank you so much for putting this together Angie!!! You did a fantastic job!!!

    I love this weeks challenge, completely do-able!!!

    DITR rocked the scale this week with a total of 35.5lbs lost! We had a tie for our "biggest loser of the week". Sandislim and sistermooooon both lost 4lbs each!! Way to go ladies!

    I met my bestie about 25 years ago when I was 2. We were neighbors out in the sticks. We have grown apart over the last 10 years but mainly because we are a few provinces apart now. We catch up every so often, and when we do it's like we were never apart.:heart:

    My oldest friend is Rita. Her family moved in the house behind mine 41 years ago. We don't see each other often as we live a distance away, but we email.

    My oldest friend is a girl named Natasha we were at school together from when we were 12but really became friends when we were about 14. We don't have anything in common but I think that's why we get on so well and have been friends for 13yrs.
