 Posted: 06/23/05 - 13:25 Post subject: family or friends
which do you hold more dear and why
me friends, as a lot of you know i don't really even ahve a relationship with my family. My line of thought is, You can choose your friends (who also choose you) but you can't choose your family.

Let's just say that some friends have been more loyal than family. For that they deserve my return loyalty.

Family - blood is thicker than water...
I have loyalty to my Army buddies, a friend of 30+ years. Anything else, unless you save mine or a family member's life, family first.
