I don't think we ever had a 5 year. My class had a 10 year that I didn't go to. My class has a fakebook page that they automatically put me in and some kid really wants them to have a 15 years this year but the year is almost over.

Out of 400 people I graduated with, I talk to like 2 people. I liked a girl all four years of high school but she's overly religious and got married (facebook knows all).

I had my 30 this year. Didn’t go. Haven’t spoken to those people in 10 years. Went to the 20th. Prior to that hadn’t spoken to any of them, but for some I went to college with and post grad, for 20 years. Figured if I actually cared for any of them we would still be in touch.

I am sure @Songbird76 can tell us the difference between a European and an American basic education. I for one have no idea. Here is an article about what schools are like in Japan. Very interesting.

James has been complaining about lunch since studying Japanese about "American" food. Guess who's getting his own egg pan for Christmas. I'm getting sick of making 5 course meals on Japanese day

I think it is going to be on youtube for awhile so you could catch it by replay. Neil Patrick Harris is the narrator.

It is I know what's on my to do list today

I have my voicemail shut off My parents are the only ones that call the house phone anyway.

My step dad is the only one who calls on the landline. Everyone else I keep in touch with contact me on my cell phone. We mostly get solicitation calls.

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

Everyone have a good day. I'm outta here until tomorrow morning, because of all-day meetings at work. Leaving here after 6:30 this morning and getting home after 9:00 tonight.

Sympathy like. Get home safe.

I hate the landline so, so much. But it's not going anywhere. I called my mom yesterday on her cell and she asked why I didn't call the landline. And Dad, of course, usually does not have his phone on.

Mr Drunkiepoo called again last night. It seems he got dumped recently, not sure if it's because he drinks or he's drinking because he got dumped Either way the phone is getting unplugged tonight

Dang it. Got invited to my five year class reunion. They found me.

Spoiler

Not that it's hard; all they would have had to do is type in my name on Facebook...

Spoiler

And the organizer and I have mutual friends, so...

Gee must have been rough for them using the same address

I ordered a lot of stuff last night. 1st item stated delivery tomorrow. It didn't come. Looked up my order of 16 items, the item that should have come today says tomorrow AGAIN lol.

Not as humorous the items scheduled for Thursday now says must be home to sign for. Ugh.

Sympathy like

Our Nuns preferred pointer sticks. Thee old Wooden Rod to the skull. Rulers wouldn't leave a bump on your head. Made for nicer lumps on your skull.

I heard the nuns in a nearby school were Nazis in hiding. So glad I escaped that. The cool nuns and some lay staff taught CCD where I went runs and hides under large rock

crap, missed it..

It's on youtube

I remember my kindergarten and first grade teachers. They both had very long straight hair. One had brown and one blonde. Either that or I am remembering the women from The Magic Garden show.

Same except both short hair. We kept in touch with my first grade teacher until she passed.

Can't you just turn off the ringer and let the voicemail pick up? We screen calls through voicemail all the time. Not a fan of ringing phones. (The people that call because they dialed a wrong number, don't leave messages, so it cuts out the annoyance wrong number calls as well.)

I called my moms and inlaws to let them know call the cells after7. It's going bye bye SOON!

Sympathy like and good luck. I was up until almost midnight(older ds) and dh had to go In early today, long day for him also

My goodness... 5 years? Why so quickly? No one has even had time to change hair styles in 5 years. To think that I had my 50th reunion two and a half years ago, time sure does fly. All my class had was a 25th and the 50th. I signed on for the 75th already. Attendance should be light! According to the census out of 245 classmates, we have only lost about 22 of them and we are all at least 70 now. Just less then 10%. Don't know if that is the average, but, it seems good to me since I am one of the ones still here.

I must have changed my hair at least 10 times in the first 5 year period.

I have colleagues at my elementary school who ARE MY FORMER students. Three of um! They had me as their 5th grade band director....they grew up, went to college, graduated as elementary ed majors and now teach in the building they went to school in as elementary kids.
It's rewarding to be teaching in the same building for over 30 years ( this is my 34th year)

I unplug the phone every once in awhile myself. Especially around election time.

Driving age was 17 so I couldn’t drive until my final semester.

I've never heard of the driving age being 17, was that a state thing?
