LOL, that was my quote from the other thread

Anyway, the short answer to your question is 'true friendship'

I come from bumblef!ck USA and my oldest and my closest friend still lives there.  Our paths couldn't be more different.  I went to college then graduate school, started a career, travelled around the world, got married then had children.  My friend stayed in our hometown, worked in retail, dated a mechanic, got pregnant then married and is now a SAHM.

She may never visit Europe and her favorite show may be Real Housewives, but who cares?  Despite our differences, we talk on the phone almost every single day and have since I left for school.  We talk about LIFE.  Seriously, the same struggles we educated, latte-sipping yuppies have really isn't that much different from 'common folks'.  They also have problems with their in-laws, and want their DH to help out more and struggle with loss of identity when they become parents.  Those issues weigh more on my day to day life than what's in the latest issue of The New Yorker.
