This is a pretty mundane question, but is there a limit to how many friends you can have on DS?

I don't know. Personally, I don't want too many friends. I want friends that I can relate to. If I have too many, I can't keep tabs on how they are doing. It becomes overwhelming.

No, it's just hard to keep up with all of them.

you can have as many as you want, but it becomes very hard to keep up with the journals and hugs and never get to really know anyone well enough to give the support they need. every now and then i go through mine and delete some i never hear from at all.

There is no limit on them as far as I know. I keep them all. Every invite to be my friend I hit accept. I may not keep tabs with all of them on a daily basis but maybe they are comforted in knowing I am there for them as they are for me.

I think you can have as many as you want but I see the friendship as a two way relationship. I love to read my friends journals and comment and send a hug to them every day. If I have too many friends, I cant keep up and feel I may be letting them down.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
