My buddy is **Auntie Em**. Although, truth be told, sheā€™ll probably be too busy jumpinā€™ up and down, hootinā€™ and hollerinā€™ and shoveling dirt over my grave to let you guys know Iā€™ve gone the way ofā€¦well, worm food. Huh. Maybe I shouldnā€™t have offered to make her the beneficiary of my life insurance. šŸ™‚ ---

The only Doper that knows me personally is **Cecil Adams** , we were roommates for a while in the late 80ā€™s. He hasnā€™t kept in touch much since then. I hope this isnā€™t about the beers you owe me **Cecil** , youā€™ve given us all so much since then! ---

Iā€™m bumping this thread, because I think it deserves another look. I realize ā€œthread bumpingā€ may be frowned upon, but if we are going to be a ā€œrealā€ community of caring people, then we had better get to know each other. That is, we had better get to **really** know at least one other person. Thanks Quasi ---

Iā€™ve got several buddies. Thereā€™s **bobkitty** , **Arden Ranger** , **Serendipity** , **Creaky** , and **celestina**. All of them I consider to be my friends; without their friendship over the last few months, I donā€™t know what I would have done. But in terms of corresponding back and forth most often (and therefore most fitting the OP), my bestest buddy is probably **TruePisces**. Love ya, Am!

Oddly enough, I have a few people on my SDMB Buddy List, and I donā€™t know how they got there. I think I must have accidentally clicked on a link at some point. Three times. Anyway, due to some odd accident, then, **fishcrawford** , **Milton De La Warre** , and **ZenBeam** are my buddies. ---

**TwistofFate** and **Francesca** are my buddies and if anything should happen to me, hub is instructed to email or call them. Iā€™ll give Frannie my collection of cleavage shirts and Twisty can have my Pogues collection. The rest of you can fight over the scraps. (I get this horrible feeling sometimes, like this could be my last post and the last thing Iā€™ll be remembered for is a stupid joke. If that should happen, donā€™t read this thread, read something in GD or GQ, ok?) ---
