Are we friends?

[JMJ Farms]

Lots of times I repeat something that was posted by one of the forum members and it usually starts like this.... "A friend of mine from Texas (CB in this case) said that Brahman influenced momma cows are hard to beat." I refer to CB as a 'friend'. I've never met him. Wouldn't know him if he walked up. This applies to CB, Margo, GB, TC, Sky, Fence, Joe, Tux, Nesikep, Bigfoot and pretty much every other member on this board that I converse with on a regular basis. Some of which I hardly ever agree with, especially on matters not pertaining to cattle. I'm rambling a little bit. But I still refer to them as 'friends' in daily conversations. Is this misuse of the term 'friends'? Do you have to know someone personally to refer to them as a 'friend'? My answer is no. Because I think if I was broke down in Farmersville, TX I could get in touch with Slick and he'd come help me, even though I've never met him. What do y'all think?

I agree that you don't necessarily have to have shaken someone's hand in order to refer to them as a friend. And, I would be glad to help out anyone on this board if they needed it and I was able to. In fact, I rather no one be in distress and just stop by for visit.

I say we all are even when we don't agree.
Always welcome here

Agree all around.

This is a great bunch of people on here that I'd give the shirt off my back too so yes I consider y'all my friends! Good thing I don't live in middle Georgia or I'd be roped into pulling Coffeeweed!

 

[Bigfoot]

It's proper use. I find myself saying it to. I actually wouldn't say "I was talking to a guy on a forum, and he said keep my calves till spring". People would think I had a loose screw. To say, "a buddy down in Mississippi said I better hold em, sounds much better. Plus, it's the truth I consider most here a friend. Several people here that I value their opinion.

Even MF135? Remember that jackass?

 

[Nesikep]

I think I'd get along fine with most of the people here, even if we don't often agree on politics or cattle.. Sitting around and chatting conveys emotions and nuances of what you're trying to say a whole lot better than text on a screen.. If I didn't live so far away from anyone else I'm sure I'd have met some of you by now

Forgot about him your right.
Now go write that down.

 

[Margonme]

I love that JMJ Farm. We are a great bunch of dysfunctional friends. :cboy:

 

[TCRanch]

We absolutely are! I definitely have more in common with everyone on this board than friends from growing up, school, sorority, when I worked - it was a whole other life. Plus, I've learned so much from all of you and value your opinions; good, bad or indifferent. Always an open invite at Triple Creek Ranch!

Agree or not I consider everyone on the forum a friend. Never met any but we're still friends at least I feel that way. They may disagree. :lol: :lol:

I consider folks on this forum as friends. I have met several from the forum and have not been disappointed, nice folks that share my love of cattle.

Same here, I actually do it a lot because everyone on here seems to have solid advice in at least one field of expertise, whether that be cattle or machinery or cooking or whatever. Lends more creedence to a conversation than, "I read on the Internet..." I don't have enough hours in my day to get out and meet these kind of knowledgable people in the real world.

 

[Cross-7]

I'm friendly with everyone
Not many people I wouldn't help if I could if asked, but not many I want to hang out with either

 

[TennesseeTuxedo]

I'd hang out with ya Cross-7, that is if you'd let me.

 

[Jogeephus]

I don't think you are misusing the term at all. I've met several on the board and haven't been disappointed and have even had one member go way out of their way to help my son with something and this was very much appreciated.
