No. I moved 2000 miles away and haven't seen any of them since college. <sigh> I still remember many of them very fondly, though.

Yes. And those two girls just had babies within the past year and a half. About darn time they caught up to me! We went to different high schools, universities, and have moved all over, but we still are in super contact.

Yes! most have moved out of state but I still talk and we visit each other when we can. My oldest friend (since 4th gr) just called me last week, she is in Kentucky. She is 1 yr older than me and she always tried stuff first then taught me! LOL I have 2 guy friends that I call brothers. One moved away last year, I miss him sooo much but I got to see him 2 wks ago, and it was great. The other guy and one more of my grade school friends moved to FL, I talk to them often and got to see them a couple yrs ago. No matter how much time passes between visits it is like we never left each other. Being an only child I always have had close friends, I don't think blood could make me feel anymore close to these friends. I am also blessed to have very close friends in my life right now.

Pamy ITA on the only child/closeknit friends attitude! Anyhow, some friends go back as far as high-school. But NOT elementary. Although I was in a store once a few years ago, and this guy called out my name and said we went to kindergarten together and named the correct one. Freaked me out! I have a terrible memory and cannot remember even close friends names at times. (The joys of having fibromyalgia) anyhow it was a weird moment. And I thought he had recognised me from my column in the newspaper that I had going at that time. (So much for my ego. LOL) I have one of those unforgettable faces, (I hate it, but thems the breaks) and people I am clueless about and can't remember, are always recognising me, which I find unnerving. Oh well.

You bet! I love small towns I am still friends with the girl I met on the first day of kindegarten (which was the first time I went to school, no pre-school or daycare). Another was a bridesmaid in my wedding, one traveled from New York to be there and about 8 or 10 more school friends came.

I went to 9 different elementary schools so that would be no. It marked me I tell you. That is why all 3 of my children have gone to the same school system their whole lives. I wanted them to have the security I didn't have. BUT on the other hand, I can adapt easily, so who knows. I'm rambling now.

Yes quite a few of them, but I don't see them too often anymore. I use to see them at least once a month when I would go up and visit my folks, but haven't seen most of them now in about 5 years.

No. We moved when I was starting 8th grade, 2000 miles. My parents kept touch with some of their parents, though, until my parents were gone.

Are you talking "admitted to the hospital" or just a quick trip like an ER visit? Also does same day surgery count?

Not a trip to the ER, unless it resulted in you being admitted. For other things, if you had a bed and a room, then count it.
