Professor of Biology.
We met more than thirty years ago when we joined together to teach hunter education at a local university. Been doing it ever since. We've hunted and fished and traveled the back roads together. We are now both old men, but we have a lot of plans to look forward to and we have made a lot if memories to look back on. |

Several friendly acquaintances since retiring from the military, but no true close friends like when I was in. But those friendships went away with PCSs moves and retirement.
I've simply flown solo since then. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Bullshit. I'm 47 and have only been married to Mrs. 'Bravo for 2 years. I can come and go as I please with no questions asked, but I'm always home because there is nowhere else I'd rather be than with her. She's THAT cool and fun. So.. You dont have any friends except for your wife ? I guess if your hobbies are just staying at home and talking its cool. Maybe if i knew a girl that rides enduro or at least dirt bikes I could hang out a lot with her, even then, I dunno.. |

We were roommates my 2nd year of university in1989. He was a pharma sales rep and now sells other medical industry stuff. Unfortunately, jobs have separated us by a few hundred miles but we still get together 4 or more time a year.
Lost what I'll call my second best friend to glioblastoma in 2018. The only difference be tween the two is if the #1 asked me to be to his house at 2am this Saturday and bring a shovel, I'd show up no questions asked. The number #2 would have had to give me the back story before I showed up.

Quote HistoryQuoted: He killed himself 2 years and 9 months ago. Knew him my whole life, talked to him everyday. Had a beer with him 4 hours before it happened.  So sad. I knew a guy on a golf forum that became as much a 'friend' as someone on the internet could be. We shared a lot of laughs, and then one day out the clear blue he sent my a hard drive full of music. He killed himself the following day. Sorry for your loss. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Neuro surgeons are a different animal. They do tend to be odd as well, but not as much as neurologists.

Met when we were both sophomores in high school. He’s with MDFR since 2001. The only man and person I trust my kids with other than my father. It’s the reason why he’s the one to take care of them if both of us would buy the farm.

Quote HistoryQuoted: When a man says his best friend is his wife it basically means he is a house husband and asks permission to do things.. Also, doesnt have any guy friends, probably got married late teens, very early 20's to the first woman he met. :) I have very good guy friends. We have breakfast once a week....pre covid. Another one who will help me on any project when I call him. There are guys who I have fought fire with for 25 years, trusted my life with them and theirs to me. My wife is still #1. We meet at 28. I don't ask to do things. Spent 3 hours at the range today. Came home to fresh chocolate chocolate chip cookies. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: We traded tricycles when we were 5. He retired a year before I did, went out and bought 50 acres in the Hill country and put up signs saying trespassers would be shot. Course, he was a Marine so some quirks are expected. Are the signs in crayon with penises drawn on them?

My new best friend is a surgeon, he removes white polyfill stuffing from toy animals, and deposits the remains around my house. He's also my room mate, and even tho he's not well paid, he's doing what he loves and feels like he's making a difference. |
