What's new

The Coffee House

Cold wet and raining here still.
 
I've never been to a school reunion.
This year will be 40.
5 hours and a little over a quarter today.
There was water dripping. There were non standard ceiling tiles. I pushed one of them up and had at least a quart and maybe a half gallon shower me. Got a little extra time watching the back door while the guy was on the roof to check the leak.
28.50 for the week.
Home now. It's going to hit 90 outside and that borders on too hot.
Going to mess with pennies and do my comics on the computer.

David I was amazed how old the ones there looked I was apparently blessed. :biggrin-93: All kidding aside some of them showed serious aging, but some actually aged well. One tall athletic looking lady started talking to me and even after she told me her name my mind couldn't place her. Later while looking at a yearbook it hit me. In school she had been frumpy and grossly overweight, nothing like the attractive well dressed lady now.
 
Hey there hosers. Happy Saturday!

My high school senior class had a 20th reunion and planned several events over the course of a weekend. There was an informal gathering at a pub on Friday night, the official reunion dinner on Sat, and some kind of family day at a park on Sunday. I went to the pub night only because a friend of mine decided to fly in from out of town to visit and go to the pub night. It was more than enough. 30th reunion would be next year but I haven't heard anything about any planning yet, so who knows. I might consider going if they do it the same way and I would able to make a quick appearance at a pub night. Otherwise, nah. It's one thing to catch up over a few drinks, and it's a whole other thing to be trapped at a dinner with assigned seating and slide shows. Blech.
 
Fun thing on Facebook - your rapper name is Lil followed by the last thing you ate.

Agreed. I've heard nothing from anyone for years now, and skipped the only one I did get contacted about since I lived out of state by then, and it was a big formal dinner at some club. Icky. Most of my friends in high school were a year or two ahead, really.
 
Never been to any of my reunions. Didn't like those people back then and won't pretend I did. Long story, but kids these days have NO idea what real bullying is.

They manage to find me and send stuff out. Our 30th, in 2011, was to be a big todo. Hotel, fine dining and a weekend of golf. I hate golf! And.....more expensive than what I'm spending on a fishing trip next week. Not making that up. Guess which I'd rather spend my money on. I'll give you a hint. I'll be spending it with people that would give it their all to pull me out if I fell overboard.

DW and I were talking, we each had our friends that we hung out with, but most of the "classmates" you knew them, but didn't have much interaction. I was in sports, but couldn't tell you more than a couple of names of team mates. Guess we weren't the only ones who forgot most of those days.
 
My best friend in High School moved directly after we graduated to Ohio.
I haven't seen my brother from another mother from down the street in over 20 years. It would take an awful lot to get me to a class reunion.
