Quite often, you read someone saying that so and so is like their family. Or a much more generalised comment like 'we are family around here', in suggestion that we should all be nice to eachother.
How many of you actually have a real family that is always nice to eachother and never bicker or disagree? I dont fall for all this Mingle family lark myself. You cant choose your family, you can only choose your friends. Thats all it is, friendship. Family doesn't come into it. |

This is cyber world here and all of the dating sites. I even hear the words...He or she is my..."friend" when they have just bantered back and forth on the threads. Say it isn't so. Even if you get anothers phone number, it is still just a voice at the end of the line.....Face to face and time is the only true detector of a friend, and to get to the place that you can call someone...family.....that is way down the dating road.

What is family if not great friends?
And as for a family of friends on here, YES, we have had many experiences and journeys, tears and fears, and friendships that have with stood all and still keep on keepin on.. As for my real family,,there is no one that I grew to know as my family that we do not share a very GREAT relationship with each other and always have..FAMILY is GREAT but GREAT FRIENDS come in as a close second.

I do believe that there comes a point when two people become friends online. I believe that because there are people that i call friends, that call me a friend, we are friendly to eachother, and actually do friendly things for eachother. But i totally agree. People too often call someone a friend rather prematurely. |

Sometimes you're closer to your friends than you are your family. I consider my very close friends my family by choice.

Friends can most definately be family.After all family to me is supposed to be people that love you unconditionally.I am lucky To have a few friends that love me like that.I also have some blood relatives that in my opinion don't.I am greatful every day for the great friends I have, and look forward to the ones I have yet to meet.

I have no family left I should be angry that everyone left me but.....I am still here and hangin in. I feel pretty blessed I have friends and they are my family. Thank God I have them Thats sad to hear. I consider my real life friends to be family, but then i have known most of them for a long time, 20 years or over some of them. Online friends cant really compete with that. |

Absolutely! Yet i have had said to me before 'we dont talk like that to eachother, we are a family!' Some people just take the online friendship thing a little too far i think. |

Online friends cant really compete with that. I totally agree with that statement., thats what I was talking about. My real life friends, get to know me and what I am, and who I am. The people I have met online are my "pen pals". |

Some of my "on-line" family are closer to me than my real family, and not just to me but to my real family.....
An example.....back in Nov. my father was put in the hospital and they didn't know why he was so sick. My sister, who lives about an hour away from the hospital, said 'oh just call me when they find out something'. Thumper called me while I was in the waiting room at the ER, when I told him what was going on, he asked if he and Suz should drive more than four hours to come and sit with us. THAT to me is family.....willing to go out of your way for someone else, blood or not. |

What's worse for me is when the word "LOVE" is bandied about...I'm sorry, but I can "like" a screen personality...but "love" is a whole 'nother ballgame...
