If you would have told me several years ago that you could have a close friendship with an online friend I probably would have been pretty skeptical. After spending time here at FC I see that online friendships can be just as meaningful as those we have with friends we physically see.
I do have e-mail and snail mail addresses for several friends here at FC and have uses both ways to let my FC friends know that they are special.

I stay in touch by e-mail. I have made some wonderful friendships here.

Some through the SS club.

I do by E-Mail, Snail and phone. And I cherish my friendships. I use to pen pal via snail and got very close to some of them too and we talked on phone also. So I was prepared to "really like" the ones I met on here

I too have made many cherished friendships here at FC, we email off list and I actually got to meet LoriMae and her dh last year when she was in our area. We had lunch and I took them to one of my favorite thrift stores. LoriMae also had the chance to stop in our store and see what I had been gabbin about for so long . That was pretty awesome since she lives so far away. We've talked by phone several times since then. Oh and here is a picture of us taken in front of my house last year...

DeBora and I have a nice friendship going. She got me hooked on NASCAR.
We met because I needed some advice that I thought she could help with. She is a good listener and wasn't judgemental with the things we discussed.
I've got many other friends here at FC who I would trade for the world. Everyone is so great.

I have made some very special friendships on FC. We do keep in touch by email.
I did meet Debbie and her Family when they came to Florida a couple of years ago. My Mom & Sister enjoyed visiting with Debbie, her husband & children.
Donna has been a good friend too. She never forgets to send me a card for special occasions.

I have never been a Secret Sister but know they hold a special bond to each other which keeps them close.

In six years that I have been on FC there has been so many that you feel close to even though you don't keep in touch. I know they are there to share their lives with us every day which makes FC special.

I've met a lot of nice folks in here, but I KIT with PC's... that's where most of my online friends are in here for now. I'm ceratin I know more folks, just haven't been to all the meeting places yet.

I think I have been a member for at least a year, and in PC swap for about 6 or so months.
