Well, we seem ed to be getting off track, so here we go...

This item is about how far do the bounds of friendship go?  When is
enough too much?  How do you deal with this?

Come on, guys?!!?  What do you think?!?!

Enough is enough when it's enough for you.
People have limits, and if we cross limits.. well... we've crossed them.
For me...
Friendship never dies...
I can say a lot, even believe a lot to the contrary
but when it comes down to it I can never 'end' a friendship
at least not in my mind.  Not if I ever called someone friend.
Sometimes lines are crossed, and when they are crossed things can
never be the same... even between friends.
How do you deal?
I guess you forgive and hope you are forgiven and
realize things will never be the same ever between you and hope that
both of you can somehow still hold on to what made you
friends in the first place even if now you are distant.

that's what i think

You have no right to live until you've found a reason to die for.
A very wise man once said that.  Name him and you're cool. =)

Avi Pai?

No.  I'll give you a hint - this man has a day in memory of him, and
it just happens to be tommorow.  I learned that quote like 3 years ago
and just had to say it again and I didn't even think that tommorrow
was his day.  (one lst time the hint is: Martin Luther King day is named
after this man ;>)

Theodore Roosevelt?
Any ways, I think that I would go beyond the limits of my comfortability for 
a friend, even though I shouldn't. I feel as though I have an obligation, and
it usually gets me in trouble.

If that's true and you have an obligation doesn't your friend have
an obligation too?

Yeah, probably, but I seem to have a habit of overlooking that.

I've only had one close relationship with anyone, and right now it's
going to hell.  Communication is a joke, well at least between us it is.

a friend is someone you would give a kidney to,if they needed it.

there are differnet levels of friendship...

wanna elaborate?

Since I only have two kidneys, and therefore could only donate one,
jemart's statement would limit me to only one friend with kidney failure. 
Should that be a best friend, or something?

I would hope so. BUt if they ever pissed you off you could threaten to takr it
back.(with a spork) <Jack hopes he has at least one true friend>

there is the level of 'i will do anything to make sure nothing happens to
you or your family".  there is the i like doing things with you, and would 
be upset if you suddenly died, but life would eventually go on.  there is 
the i like talking to you in class, and we do homework together, but if
you died, i'd notice, and go on with life.

did that make any sense?

Somewhat...
food for thought at the very least.   :)

I wrote this.

I think that there are some things that I would not do for a true friend
, but dying isn't one of them.  I've thought about this very carefully,
and I think that if one of my true friends needed, really needed it, I would
and could die for them.  But there are still things I wouldn't do.

Well, dont spare us any juicy details...what wouldnt you do?

Guess.  

guess?

Guess?

Blue!  <there, that's my guess.>

Fine...you take my fave, I will take yours...

GREEN

Nope.  Both are wrong.

NO!!!!!! They're right, you're wrong!  How can the answer NOT be blue
and green?  Huh huh huh???

never mind.  Forget I said anything.

I will, thank you very much.

Okay, I can do that!  (anne is a natural blonde)

Wow, this opne has been on hold for a while.
Friednships are varied and compicated things. They come in a great variety
of styles, more than I think could be named. Each friendship with another
person is an individual onoing event. It is always changing because the people
involved are always changing. The basis of it will probably stay the same,
but the interaction can (and usually does) go through wide variations. This
is all very vague, but there are as many kinds of friendships as there kinds
of people. There are poeple I've known for less than year who I feel are
closer friends than some I've known for 10 years or more, though most often
it is the other way around.

"Old friends, they mean much more to me than the new friends,
'cause they can see where you are, and they know where you've been."
That's some lyrics from a song. How true/accurate do you fell that is. In
general and just for you ? As I said above, usually more long time friends
have a deeper hold on me, but thta is not always the case. My closest
friendships have most often been with people I've known over a long period
of time where we learned about eachother through lonog term contact. Upon
occasion though I've met people with whom something jsut clicks. And it seems
like we've known eachother for years and years. Does this happen to you ?

As with any relationship, the two people have to want (need) the same thing
at the same time. I had a friend that I had known since jr high school; her
other friends would come and go but I seemed to find what I needed in a friend
in her. Unfortunately, we went on vacation together for 5 days a couple of
years ago and had a few disagrrements. She's the kind of person who doesn't
know when to let the whole thing go because it is a touchy subject. We hasn't
spoken since that trip. We did exchange Christmas cards but she just signed
hers with no inor as to what she was doing now (inor should be info). I agree
that each friendship is different because you have different people with
different personalities involved. I have another friend that I have also known
since jr high but she's a very different friend than my first friend above.
We aren't extremely close but she's about the only person that stays in touch
despite the distances between us (right now it's VA to Hawaii).

reminds me of a girl scouts songs...

"make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold"

I like that song... :)

(the girls scout song or the Harry Chapin song ?)

The Girl Scout song... :)

i know that song too (as the girl scout song) 

yea, there were some cool things about girl scouts...:)

(i like girl scout cookies)

Me too. :)  

Big suprise there. ;>
