Asking Eric: Retired friends disappear from life
Dear Eric: Over the past few years, more and more of my long-time friends have vanished from my life. One sent a message reading 'I am retired,' and when asked how she was enjoying her retirement, sent the same message repeatedly as her reply. One asked me to vacation with her, and when I replied enthusiastically, never contacted me for a long time, only to send a bizarre meme two years later.
