Do you have a best friend?

Does Bacon count?
- Jeff (the メガマクダジ of FF)
Yes.
- Alex Scoble
Yes.
- Mary Carmen
Yes. I actually have several.
- Sparky
Yep! I have 2. Sadly, they both live far away.
- Captain Bubbles
I have two! I'm lucky like that.
- Bren, Not Grinchy
yep!
- Sardar Mohkim Khan
Yes; just wish he lived closer
- JA Castillo
yes, i married her 11 years ago.
- Joe Silence is not dead
I did. :-(
- Trish R
No. I used to, but he ditched me about 8 months ago. Currently accepting applications for replacement. Have lots of really good friends, tho, which is nice (really nice, I love them all), but I miss having the bubble of it.
- Sarah G.
I guess so, I used to have a true one in high school, but then he just left one day and I haven't heard from him since. I have some that I consider really close friends, but no one I think I can put at best friend.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Want one but haven't had one since the early '90s.
- Spidra Webster
Yes.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
*sniff* I have two, but they're about to be really far away
- Lo is a Quitter
Yes, a couple.
- MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS
not really. my old one got tired of me and i sort of hate saying my partner is my best friend even though it's probably accurate.
- Kendra <3 Three Lions
Yes.
- Jim Hearts FF
Akiva!
- Rochelle
I have in the past, but right now, there isn't one person in particular that I'd call my *best* friend. I have a lot of very very good friends, though.
- josh neff, geek at large
I don't think I do. I have a lot of friends whom I love dearly -- a lot of them through FF, etc. -- but no one is at the top of that list. I don't know if they makes me sad or not.
- Derrick
Ummm yeah - been married 13.5 years! :D
- Internet's Tad
Yeah Niels, he's been there always. Even if I'm crap at picking up the phone and calling he never ever lets me know. He just knows that that's me so he is there. He was there when my mother had cancer. When I went into the dumps for a bit, he pulled me up and helped me find a job and get going again. I really don't deserve such a great friend but I am super happy that I do have him.
- Rasmus Lauridsen
Yes. My husband is truly my best friend. But I'll fill out an app to be Sarah's new female best friend.
- Junebug (aka Sarah Jill)
Yes
- Steve
yes
- VAL D.
my wife
- Bill Kinney
Used to.
- Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀

Two - one I've known since we were 5, the other since high school.
- Penguin It's Cold Outside
from fftogo
Yes, two, and both live so far away from me, it's almost unbearable sometimes.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Yeah, he lives in DC. He was my best man, god father to my eldest and his dad is my son's doctor
- RAPatton
from iPhone
I have two, neither of them live in Texas. It sucks
- aden
Definitely, my partner is my best friend.
- Sam Carlson
Now, I want a best friend! I feel incomplete. :(
- Derrick
yes. and i have a partner who is a close runner-up. bff and i have known each other since we were 12.
- tiffany
I sure do... Two actually
- Marissa
2 :)
- Michael W. May
Because I'm a greedy girl I have 3.
- pea
from fftogo
Does my fiance count?
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
My husband.
- Judy Jones
Yep - we've been best friends since early high school.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I guess not. A lot of lifelong friends though.
- Rodfather
I have one person I think I'd classify as a best friend outside of a relationship. My best friend Jameel has had the title since he moved in next door to me when I was 6 years old. We've been like peas and carrots for thirty years. Crazy. I still speak with him at least once a week.
- Cheryl
Yep.
- Laura Lou Who
hee! peas and carrots. me and my homie are more like PB&J or ham and cheese :-)
- tiffany
yup
- AJ Batac
No, I have a few
- Shevonne
Okay maybe peas and carrots is little tame. We're more like...like...hot apple pie and ice cream? Cookies and cream? Chocolate cookies and milk? Great...now I'm hungry.
- Cheryl
My wife.
- Mark H
Not anymore.
- cecily
I used to.
- Kol Tregaskes
Maybe two
- maxilprof
Jesus, the gardener. of souls.
- Morgan Haley
Yep, maybe, I don't know. Do the ones in my head count?
- Jimminy
I don't know if I have a best friend or not. There's one guy that knows everything about me and my past, but he lives in Berlin most of the time. Then there's another guy that knows almost everything about me and my past, and we hang out a lot.
- Morgan Haley
So I guess it would depend on the definition really. does a best friend need to know EVERYthing about me and my past?
- Morgan Haley
I married mine.
- Jeremy (cropmarks)
No. My daughter has a problem understanding that. All people have best friends, she says.
- Baard @ Pixum
complicated... I have 3 very good friends from childhood on, but I won´t consider them as "best friends". there´s always someone closer for a period of 2 or 3 years. usually my life changes then, and I exchange my whole little universe and the bestest friend with it. (somehow creepy, I know..)
- esther ♥ ♫
@Baard, Freya seems like your best friend to me :)
- Michael W. May
No.
- Nine
no, not anymore. some close friends, but not any one best friend.
- holly
Yes.
- Melanie Reed
if I enumerated all my friends (all 4 of them), and ranked them in some order, one of them would be better than the others. In that sense, yes, I have a best friend ;) In the colloquial "bff" sense, I don't really think so.
- DJF
First name "Tiny," second name "pants," although she goes by many other names. :)
- Jenny R.
Akiva!
- Akiva Moskovitz
but of course
- L Stephen Cleary
Yes.
- Jason Huebel
...with benefits.
- sofarsoShawn
Yep.
- Alix Whitmire
No.
- Mo Kargas
My wife is my best friend in general. I don't have any really close best guy friends anymore.
- Give 'Em DBizness
No, I have a Hetero Lifemate though.
- Rob Haas
I said "yes" before, but I have to admit I haven't had a best friend since I moved back from NYC. Rob mentions having a "hetero lifemate" and I suppose that's what Paul was. *feeling lonely*

- Joe Silence is not dead
Kol, use your connections and see if you can get in on the BFBC2 beta, the MP takes MW2 back to the drawing board.
- Carlos Ayala
BFBC2 does look good but a PC game for me. I've played the demo, very good.
- Kol Tregaskes
lol, oh dear. I thought you meant you had it already too.
- Amy
Hehe, it's only a matter of days I think. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Like most, if not all shooters, Kol, I agree. Nothing comes close to the accuracy and speed you get on the PC...maybe gaming with a mouse and keyboard on the console but i havent experienced that yet. But playing this on the console has no hardware implications and barely any networking implications either. I wouldn't say i am completely converted just yet, but I am embracing the PS3 more and more when it comes to gaming.

Explain what you liked about it. - today's Plinky question: http://www.plinky.com/prompts...
- Kol Tregaskes
For me it was college and in particular Business Studies. Why? A very good teacher.
- Kol Tregaskes
College. Went to a small, liberal arts school. Great environment, and I learned how to learn, if that makes sense.
- Alex Scrivener
Tough one, I liked both primary and high school (our whole year pretty much all got along), uni 1st time around was 4 years of drunken insanity with awesome people, and 2nd time around was shedloads of work with yet more really awesome people. I wouldn't change any of them given the choice.
- Amy
High school. It was wild and you didn't need to think about anything :D

Just watched Miranda (very good), Life (amazing time-lapse shot) and now onto QI before bedtime. :-)
Miranda is awesome :) Really makes me laugh even though it's the predictable BBC kinda comedy.
- Charlotte M
Charlotte, me too. A surprise hit I hope. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I found the style a little different to normal though. Talking to the camera isn't all that common in the average sitcom that I recall.
- Ian May
Watching one episode of Miranda I've missed: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer...
Watched the first two episodes last evening. Different style for sure. Funny. Have another three to watch.
- Ian May
Yes very funny. I thought I'd give it a go and it's turned out to be a surprise hit with me. :-)

I actually grabbed it to watch, because I'd seen you mention it, or I'd have probably passed it by.

Go for TweetDeck, dude. The latest version is so much better than Seesmic.
- Jorge Escobar
Mike, it's not Twitter as I can post via TweetDeck. Jorge, I can't see how TweetDeck is *much* better than Seesmic. They are almost identical from what I can see but at least TweetDeck works. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Believe me, I had big hopes for Seesmic Desktop. Random little bugs made me abandon it. Tweetdeck is 100% reliable, its only problem is the memory leak; but you can close and start in the middle of the day and you should be set.

I really want Seesmic Desktop to work, it's just a nicer UI. But yes it's really buggy. I've given up on it for now. Digsby is for IMing. :-)

I haven't had any problems with Seesmic desktop, but I just started using it

that's too bad it's not working for you. :( works great for me! though I do miss some of the features twhirl had.

"In 2006, Steelcase created a number of conceptual cubicles that were displayed at the company's Chicago showroom during NeoCon, an annual furniture industry trade show. This design, called Studio 53—the name is a reference to the 1970s Manhattan disco, Studio 54—was such a hit with visitors that some companies asked to purchase it as it was. The idea was to remake the standard-size cubicle into a stylish and comfortable meeting place within an office, where workers could gather to find privacy in today's increasingly open-plan working environments. Leo Burnett, the advertising agency, is one company that asked to buy a Studio 53 cubicle on the spot, turning this conceptual design into an instant product. It's in use today. (Link)"

Those of you with Christmas trees: real or artificial?

Real but starting to get tempted by the catalogues with those pics of the prelit artificial. Might wait till kids are out of the house - five to ten years or so.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
I have one of each. We have a little fake one we put up late Nov, and then we get an ENORMOUS real one (which we got yesterday). Can't beat that Christmas smell :)
- Penny
artificial pre-lit
- holly
Artificial. I'd really like to have a real tree, but I'm not sure with dogs in the house how they would be. Maybe next year I'll try it.
- Junebug (aka Sarah Jill)
We have an artificial "winter forest". Artificial because it's easier and a forest because it's more winter/seasonal than Christmas, because we're Jewish! :)
- Rochelle
Artificial. The one time we had a real tree when I was a kid I was still vacuuming up needles in February. I swore NEVER AGAIN!!!
- Give 'Em DBizness

- Sir Shuping
Artifical; high maintenance hardwoods.
- Nikki D.
real, gotta love the smell

We've had an artificial tree for the last four or five years. This year, my wife decided she wanted a real tree. It's up and decorated already. Hopefully it will survive until New Year's. It's been a while since we've had a real tree (we had to go out and buy a stand and everything).
- Curtiss Grymala
Real, not up yet. But soon
- MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS
Fake, I have allergies and having a tree in the house for month really messes me up. I basically can't breath through my nose the whole time the tree is in the house. Plus real trees are messy and a significant fire hazard.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Real!
- Mary Carmen
Reusable with the flexible branches.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
real. always.

Fake this year
- Katie: Whelmed Overly
We have an artificial tree that we bought for $19.99 when we couldn't afford a real one. It looks surprisingly decent. Now I reuse it every year. I had thought about getting a real (live) tree this year and then planting it outside after Christmas, but I was scared away by stories of huge spiders.
- joey
Fake I'm too hyper about a real pine tree drying out into tinder in my front room
- WarLord
REAL -- just picked up ours today
- Ladybug Heather
Unmistakably fake. 24" tall and Hawt Pank. And I got it for 50% off last X-mas Eve. My ideal tree!
- vicster
I've never had a real one, even as a kid (my mom hates the mess that pine needles can make). I have been tempted to get a big planter and plant a hardy rosemary bush in it. I could decorate it a little in the winter, then, but I could also use it for culinary purposes.
- Katy S
Fake...been that way for a few years now ever since tree prices went through the roof. The pre-lit ones are pretty nice too. Can't do that with a real tree.
- Chad McCoskey
Growing up, we always had real. Mr. B and I have had a pretty nice fake one for several years now.
- Laura Lou Who
Artificial. I am the frugal type and I like a tree that I only have to pay for once and it lasts 25+ years. It's not one of those "toilet bowl brush" types. This one looks pretty real and if I hang pine potpourri in small net bags in the interior near the pole, it fools most people, because then it even smells real.
- April Russo (app103)
Nice, April!

went plastic years ago. didn't like choppin' em down. been able to use the same tree over and over. paid for itself over time.

- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
Fake, prelit. It's really pretty (to me). Sure it doesn't look real, but I don't see that. Plus my kitties go wild with real ones. Bad enough with fake ones. But maybe next year I'll try a real one (if they can come skinny mini style, we're cramped!).
