Yeah, when you leave friends(like I moved from USA to New Zealand) friends do tend to stop talking to you.

I think all their friends have, as Lemony said, fallen by the wayside. It really does happen when you go through a tragedy of some kind, it happened to me when one of my friends died and again when I got sick. Strange. I guess their friends were afraid of saying the wrong thing and making the children feel even worse. I've been in this sort of situation(the situation of the friends) at times, or at least the same sort of thing. When someone is grieving, you can't be sure whether to comfort them or leave them alone.

I know I replied to this thread. Why do my posts keep being deleted?
I said that any good friend would try to keep in touch, no matter how uncomfortable the situation. Look at the Quagmieres...they're still friends with the Baudelaires even after all of the tragedies.

maybe their friends were VFD involved and the schism caused something them to stop communicating with the Baudelaires.

Thanks for catching the calendar detail; I'd forgotten about that. This means that if my estimated timespan is correct, it's currently July in the series. I guess Mr. Poe just neglected to cover the school-attendance issue when choosing guardians. He neglects a lot of things, out of either stupidity or malice. Anyway, I found the timeline. Thank thee, Mike Cuellar. Hey! That's like, the first asoue site I ever saw! <is glad someone else knows about that site> I'm sure the bauds went to some sort of school... Although it sounds like they did a lot of independent study what with the enormous library in the mansion. But I know they did have some friends.
