[quote=Anonymous]OP here -- thanks to all that responded rationally. To the others -- don't know what you want me to get over. I reached out once to a childhood friend to be nice to see if we could schedule 60 min. If we can, we can. If we can't, life goes on. By no means am I asking to (or even wanting to) see her all weekend long and god forbid I have to deal with her "woohoo we're 30 but acting like we're 19" crowd of friends by tagging along to their events. I -- like the other PPs -- do "unofficial visits" to places and keep it relatively quiet that I'm in town if I can't/don't want to hang out or I come out and say that I'm busy. I don't do the teenage facebook thing that seems to be so ok now of ignoring people but still posting every thought, pic, and tagging myself as I go from place to place.

For those who will say, don't be on Facebook. Well -- this is a friend who was in town last yr, didn't mention it, and then called one night asking me to drive 25 miles to come see her. I couldn't and she was whiny about it, as I said "I'm sorry I wish you had given me a heads-up and we could have planned something," to which she said - well it was all over Facebook, you should have called me/messaged when I was 2 min from your house! I really don't get the 30 yr old crowd that acts like a bunch of high schoolers about FB, yet when that 30 yr old has been in your life since birth, you still feel compelled to reach out once when they are in your city.
