Thanks `Devin to be the first to post & sharing your words.

I'm really thankful to have my beach bum friends. They are my chosen family. I don't know if I have brothers or sisters, but I sure know that I have true friends. I miss being with them everyday, but when we do get 2gether we treasure that time 4-Sure.

I think friends are one of the best investments that a person can make in their life. I hope this thread reminds the readers of their friends & to get in contact with them

* Member's, what is your favorite `Friendshp quote from above ?

Good thread Space.

I have a few friends here in Michigan but they are good ones.

My brother-in-laws are friends in some ways and my wife is certainly my best friend. MCF has given me friends too.

A friend will tell me when I go astray

A friend will comfort me when I am down

A friend will allow me to comfort them and not get mad when I tell them they have gone astray.

A friend will be happy with me when good things come into my life

A friend does not have to come around often but when they do it is a joy

Belive it or not I concider the Deuce a friend too. She comforts me when I am down and excites me when I am happy.

I haven't seen face to face a lot of members here but many here are my friend. I wish we could have one gigantic meet somewhere some day.

Thanks `Tadd, you are a very Rich `Man when you have `True Friends in your `life...Yes, I believe a Monte Carlo can be a True Friend 4-Sure..It maybe a material possession, but it can be like a friendship ie: `if you take good care of your Monte, your Monte can & will take care of you

Thank You for sharing...I EnJoyed 4-Sure

I've learned that many may say that they are your friends or want to be your friend, but they do not act their words. "They don't walk their talk"...they are just empty words...I find this very sad...I keep learning as I travel my journey of life...Some lessons are harder then others...I hope I'm learning to not repeat the bad lessons again....Peace/out

`Lou, you are a lucky man to have your wife as your best `friend , so many don't & their wife seems to be their worst enemy I believe one true friend is more valuable then a thousand untrue `friends 4-Sure...

Wish everyone true/good friends in `life 4-Sure Life would be so sad & lonely without a friend(s) 4-Real...

Thanks Member's for your post/words
