......I had some lovely premie friends who helped me in the past and some who help me to this day ( today...actually, come to think of it 
. One premie friend ( whom I hadn't seen for many years ) contacted me because I posted here on forum 8 and continues to send me kind emails.
I admit that, except in the early years when I made the mistake of thinking it was my duty to be everybody's " sister" , I was pretty fussy about which premies I was friends with and crossed the road when I saw some of the stranger ones approaching.
Of course some don't know that I've ex-ed as I haven't seen them.When I feel in the mood I may phone some of them and tell them as a sort of experiment!
I refuse to get overly paranoid as I'm sure they won't put me in the attic (?).
