PeopleFinders.com visited with a group of experts who know the most about
keeping a lifelong companion: 80-year-olds.


8 Tips From Folks Over 80

1. "Friends are like a good set of teeth, you've got to treat them well or
   they won't last. I've had more pairs of dentures than I've had true
   friends."
2. "The key to a lasting friendship, number one, is to communicate,
   communicate, communicate. You got that?"
3. "In friendships, don't ever yell or scream. Throwing and hitting is not
   allowed."
4. "Don't expect so much of people, but expect enough."
5. "A fight with a friend is like a sliver in your finger -- it will stay
   there, fester, and get infected for days, months, or even years."
6. "The ability to make and keep friends is not an easy thing -- you really
   have to try hard."
7. "In life and friendships, sometimes you just need to bite your tongue."
8. "Making friends is like the roll of the dice, and what comes up is what
   you have to work with. Of course, you can sometimes roll again and get a
   better deal -- or worse."

    
"Friendships are a vital part of our existence," said Bryce Lane,
president and COO of PeopleFinders.com. "The astute advice from our
young-at-heart group was that no matter what life throws you, stay
connected to your friends. At PeopleFinders we recognize that staying
connected is not always easy, and we've made it possible for thousands of
consumers to reconnect with lost friends."

    With records that span the last 40 years, PeopleFinders.com helps users
