Friendship
 

sounds pretty egalitarian to me: if you can pleasure her, your her bestest. Lose the tongue magic, and

OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!

Friendship
 

It would seem so.

And of course, I am the bestest of all.

Friendship
 

Well, some of them I consider my friends, and some of them I just consider.

Ever chased the dragon with a nun? Hell, when she's rushing on her run, a nun will get hornier than a mare in springtime. Just beware... there ain't much trimming under that robe...

God, I have to get my wife a nun costume.

Pathetic Requet for Marital Advice
 

Hi! Yes, I now have an approachable kitten avatar rather than a woman carrying a head on a plate. Of course, that had nothing to do with going on or off any medication.

Search, like, "zoloft" or "wellbutrin" in the fashion thread or, better, on the old board and you will find some nice discussions of various antidepressants.

I typed out a whole discussion and then decided fuck it. Run a search. The only new thing I have to add is that apparently my current doctor seems to be of the opinion that wellbutrin is good for fixing lack of motivation stuff with depression and SSRI is good for fixing the I suck and life sucks part of depression.

Childhood: I met the person I consider to be my best friend when we were five. We never went to the same school, but we are still close.

High school: I do not regularly talk to people from high school, though I will run into them socially from time to time.

College: I get e-mails maybe twice a year, and the last time I saw someone from college was probably four or five years ago. I graduated ten years ago this year.

Graduate/law school: Some contact. Some close friends. There's a very close group that is scattered around the country/world that I maintain regular contact with, but they're not a part of my life.

Work: I don't think that there is a single person that I have ever met through work that I would consider a close friend. I do have one of those 'Nam/Catholic School experiences with a group of people from a former job, and one of them is still there while the rest of us got out. We all still keep in touch with her to make sure she's ok, and to get gossip about what's going on there.

Now I'm as depressed as FBA
 

Dude, you are like a pit bull on a porkchop with that.

Gee, I didn't know there were these teleophone things... Sheesh.

I talk to childhood friends quite often. I just tend to be closer with, have more in common with and have more to talk about with people I actually can see once in a while. Present company excepted, of course.

The whole "So and so got married, had a kid, moved back to town, divorced, such and such teacher retired, some building was torn down" stuff gets old after a while.

Let's put it this way... one of the famous former residents of my hometown memorialized it in song, and not in a flattering way. I tend to agree. It's pretty much a dead end place.

Absolutely. You know the saying men will come and men (or women as the case may be) will go, but girlfriends are forever.

You know the one you can tell ANYTHING to and she won't be judgmental. Will always take your side on anything. Will pick you up from the airport. Be your maid/matron of honor. Will take you to the hospital when your mom or dad is sick or dying and will gladly wait with you and ask nothing in return. Will cry with you. Will take your phone call at any hour of the day.

Yes, I have that bestest friend. I have a few of them and I wouldn't trade them for anything

I was going to make a snarky comment, but instead I'll just post the picture and leave it to each of you to fill in your own snarky comment.*

JAMA should conduct a scientific study to see which of the two - fraternity hazing or catholic education - causes higher incidents of alcoholism.

My money is on the latter.

Yes, those are the momma UGGS or some such thing. I saw her wearing them with (gasp) satin low-rise pants.
Apparently they're her only shoes.

Want to clue us in on whether you find the opposites to be true, or are you saying there's no correlation at all?

It has been my observation especially that women attending same-sex high schools remain friends for life disproportionately to those attending other schools.* I think public schools have more diverse populations. My wife, for example, had only three or so people in her public H.S. who were her intellectual equals and who challenged her in positive ways. She's still friendly with one of them; the others, and the rest of her school, are all in the "I haven't though of him in fifteen years" file. This is not my sole basis for the thesis, but I'll guess it's consonant with the experiences of other high-achieving people on this board. Catholic and private schools are more like Hogwart's --- you often have a circle of friends that includes the smart one, the athletic one, the dim-but-loyal one, etc.**

My anecdotal evidence for all-male schooling is slightly weaker, but I think that's because male-male friendship is less often of the get-together-regularly-and-discuss-feelings-and-life-developments variety. Friendships between women have very subtle nuances, but it's very evidence of friendships between men that is subtle. Women are likely to look at many male friendships and say "that's not really a friendship" because male friendships can be a fallow field much longer, IMHO. I can pick up the phone and have a connection with someone I haven't seen in ten years. An observant woman might say I'm re-establishing the friendship; I don't see it that way.***

In a special clue to TM and NFH, you can't disprove an observation based on anecdotal evidence by merely by offering contrary anecdotal evidence, when the thesis was carefully qualified by the words "generally" or "usually," as mine was. I was hoping the post would spark some discussion more extensive than "You're dead wrong. Period." I don't need to be right, but I'd rather be proved wrong than merely told so.

*It's probably the pillow fights and oral pleasuring.

**I'm sure your lunch table at school had this, too. Are you still friends with the dim-but-loyal one? I am.

***Like all statements beginning with "men" or "women," this is not intended to be a grand unifying theory applicable to all.

Oh good God Almighty. I think I might throw up.
