I've been thinking about something. Have you ever noticed that ex-costars on TV shows rarely do much more than exchange X-Mas cards? They worked together for years and became very close and may even have confided personal information and the like. But when the shows over, so are the close frienships.

Have all of you experienced something like that? Years ago, when I was still just dating my husband, I worked at a chemical research lab. My best friend was Vivianna. We did EVERYTHING together. We'd meet at 5:00 every morning at the beach to run. Then we'd run every day (or work out in the fitness center) at noontime every single day. We ate with eachother. Our job required going to NYC once a week. We always went together. We partied at the Hardrock Cafe in NYC together. Our job consisted of formulating new products or overhauling existing ones. There were two highly sensitive counters to measure very small amounts. We'd even do our measuring togteher. And then when I quit, we stayed in touch for awhile, and now nothing. We haven't spoken in years. I was wondering if that has ever happened to anyone else?

Yes, I think this happens alot. I worked with two women for 17 years and
we did many things together but after our plant closed we drifted apart. Its
kind of sad because we were such good friends.

Yeah, it has happened to me too.

It's happened to me. I call them situational friends, and often when the situation ends, the friendship does as well. Be it work, school or college, neighbors...often when it stops being convenient, it dwindles away. Sometimes, when the situation ends, you lose what you had in common in the first place.

I also find it sad. I worked with a woman for five years. We were as close as could be. I left almost six years ago. We stayed in touch for a while, but no more. I think of her often though, and I have the feeling she thinks of me too.
