Haha! Ken, nothing like a few beers and good conversation with an old buddy! :cheers1:
Thanks. I think that as time marches on more people will have similar events happen to them also. It is kind of a strange concept to become friends with others whom you have not met face to face. As someone else pointed out though, it's similar to those who do have pen pals.
I know what FB is...what's SF ?
Speaking of that, I wanted to mention to Warrigal that her special friend (Diwundrin) was apparently unbanned when all of the rest of us who were banned were allowed back into the forum. Maybe you can talk Di into coming back and joining the conversations here again ?
I disagree Retired. I used to be on a site called Eons which I joined maybe 12 years ago and shut down abruptly. I made friends there who found each other again on FB. One of them, a composer/musician who has written for T.V. shows, sent me several tracks free of charge to use in one of my songs after she heard it. She calls me a few times a month and we have the best conversations. I call her Lil Sis. Another one, we call each other Sis, along with others, posted prayers for me when I had my cardiac procedure. Sis was on the phone with my DIL to find out how I fared after the procedure and was so thankful that I came though okay.. She and others from Eons/FB sent me virtual flowers and get well messages. We've talked by phone as well. She has invited several online friends to visit her. I haven't had the opportunity yet. AnotherNo. If you think you have 'real' friends on social media, you're delusional...........Social media is out of control, and people cannot distinguish reality from their keyboard.
