My 20 year HS reunion is coming around. Besides the feeling of getting old you start to wonder what happened to everyone. I get a message to sign up on Facebook from the organizer of the reunion. I register and digg up a few old friends. Facebook has a feature that recomends "people you might know". This was where the fun started. The first person on the list was a old GF <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Some things need to stay in the past <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> I did find one of my best HS friends. He made a killing in the 90's after grad school and has been roaming the USA in his RV and now lives in Prescott, AZ. Other are just absent and cant be found <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Les, my 20 year one was last summer (I must have a year on you) but I couldn't get back (I live about 7000kms away from where I grew up - flights were pricey, and I was garage-building). But I did hook up with a lot of old friends on Facebook during the run up to it, and it certainly brought back a lot of memories. Enjoy it bud. We ain't gettin any younger... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

ha ha Yeah, I'm a class of '86 guy. I just signed up for FB late last year, when my daughter, a freshman at BGU told me to sign up. Since then I've talked to a lot of old chums from school. Mostly female types. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I found a couple old Army buddies too...and a few rascals from the Wire as well. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Class of '82 here. Reunions are fun, especially if you have all your hair and teeth, because, trust me, a lot of your classmates won't. It's kind of funny to see the jocks who got fat, the hot chicks who aren't anymore and the girls you never gave a second glance at...got hot...
Oh yeah, it's a fun time...

Pups,Next year will be my 30th. Im sure there will be less people than at the 20th.
Well on my way to becoming that eccentric old man in every town.(crazy as a s#@thouse rat) With a yard full of desireable old vehicles that tells you, Sorry they're not for sale..... Someday I'm going to fix them.

You guys are old! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> June will be 5 Years for me.. It's been such a long haul! For my generation facebook is a little different.. You can't hide from your past 'relationships,' everyone knows your business, but on the other hand it makes for a good solid laugh to see 10-15 breakups on valentines day. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

and a few rascals from the Wire as well <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Guilty. I have found all sorts of old friends on FB. It is a good tool but I do see Les' point about ex GFs and how some things should stay in the past. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I searched your name Les but all I saw was black dudes. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
