I have many friends in the virtual world, but in real life only a very 
small handful. Over the years people came and went — but Yossi stayed. 
He’s the one who never left. He’s my closest friend, 
and because of him I even carry the name ‘Meirsys’ on Facebook.

There is also Of(f)er, who shares my passion for records. 
Together, we're always searching for the best "Offer" at record fairs....

And then there is Rami S., whom I have known for just as many years 
as Yoram S. More than 20 years ago, long before Facebook existed, 
we were all part of the same music forum. 
Because of my passion for collecting records, I was known there by 
the nickname "מאיר תקליטים" ("Meir Records").

From time to time, we even met in person. I still remember how exciting it 
was when we planned those gatherings. Everyone was assigned something 
to bring, whether it was a salad, a cake, or another homemade treat. 
Even back then, food was a passion of mine alongside music, movies 
and dance.

I have nothing but fond memories of those times with friends whom 
I have not met in person for many years now. Although the forum itself 
disappeared long ago, we have thankfully stayed connected through 
Facebook and WhatsApp, keeping those friendships alive.

My old friend, Rami S., my eldest daughter and me, many years ago.

Meeting my friend, Ofer R. in 2024.
