Right, but then the jealous girl....does he like her? I mean, obviously he's taking someone else to the movies and sitting with her on the bus. What right does the other girl have to be angry with him when he doesn't seem to be that into her?You missed it his bus buddy is female and he too her to the movies over the holiday, they sat a little too close in the car for my comfort
To be fair, my bag is overflowing, so it's kind of turned INTO a pile.
Has he done the orientation and such? You'd think once he saw the examples that he'd figure out that he's not going to be able to manipulate it the way he wants.
Wow...isn't that a bit immature for someone his age? I didn't go to my reunion last year...or the one 10 years ago. It is so expensive to fly and my high school experience wasn't great, so I don't really need to go pretend we were all life-long best friends and pay up the wazoo for it. I have a select few people I actually miss and I visit them when I'm in town. That's enough reunion for me. But I can't imagine doing an actual reunion only for my friends!!I agree, the popular kids would never speak to the unpopular. So childish and stupid. Last year our class president, who plans the reunions, decided to have a reunion with only his friends invited. Great "class" reunion.
They are supposed to be strange at that age though...isn't that half the fun?? I hated jr. high. I'm convinced it's little more than a form of torture. Not looking forward to my kids being that age. It's bad enough in elementary school!
I'm going to my 50th this year, but, only to see how much better I look then all my old classmates. I'm sure that's what I will discover when I get there. I also went to my 25th and fortunately our class were not exactly party animals. This time I have to make an 1800 mile round trip and I won't even be the furthest away. There is another classmate that lives 30 miles beyond me in North Carolina now. I guess I still have time to move.
I don't have any bad memories of Jr high or high school in a personal sense. In spite of being overweight and painfully shy, I guess my parents instilled a strong sense of self worth in me, so consequently I was never wounded by comments. Completely oblivious to them. My Jr. high years were in a Catholic school or what I like to call my hell time on earth, that much I remember, but, I don't have any retained thoughts of personal misery from other students.
So funny, my pile goes into two bags, carry on. Hubby and I share 1/2 checked bag. . We take 2/3 with us. So we won't misplace too much. We have been lucky, luggage has arrived mostly on time. We give ourselves a couple days of clothes, before we have to do laundry, if the checked bag doesn't show up. All of our medicines (which are many) go in my personal purse, a very large purse.
So I decided today that I'm going to postpone my WDW trip until this summer, so I can take my DD with me. Hopefully I can do a solo trip either this fall or for my next birthday.
But I still plan to get my Disney fix for my birthday this year and will stay at the Disneyland Hotel for a couple nights instead.
Oh, more good news, bad news. The donkey jerk face (that has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?) informed me that he's moving out this month. But he's going for 75/25 custody, which isn't necessarily bad news because I just don't see him getting it when there's absolutely no basis for it.
I have always wanted to visit NOLA. I'm now thinking our 50 anniversary should be something other than Disney. I just can't decide where, as we have been many places due to hubby's work. I'm looking at Austin, I love the river walk, or Nola, never have been there. I can't do Europe by plane, I have leg circulation problems. We are close to Yellowstone, but hubby says the hotels there are not the best. He had mice running around in his sink at night!Yep, NOLA's a BLAST!!!!!We still talk about our little family trip from a few months back...such a GREAT time...!!!
I remember when gas was 29 cents a gallon, with yellow or green stamps. That you could redeem for appliances. Toasters, irons, or dish ware. My Mom and other Mom's saved these. I remember helping her lick the stamps to go into those "valuable" books.
I'm so glad that kids have moved beyond cliques. It was so awful back then. I think of our class president not moving beyond middle school. That's sad. He is a Doctor in Ind. I would never go to him. He wasn't a smart person either, how did he get through college......he had powerful parents, with a lot of money to donate. My sister says, he is known as a very bad Doctor, but somehow he keeps his license. I guess this is how the world works today.....Sorry for the rant. This has been on my mind for several month's since I talked to a former best friend in high school, who still lives in my hometown. Thanks for listening, or feel free to move on. I just did my own therapy, and it was free!
I just wish you could be rid of him forever. I hope he will move on eventually.
Much better than my hometown, and high school. Hubby and I have never gone back for a reunion, we were so glad to be out of high school and into college.The popular kids in my school did talk to others, but it was the peer pressure and conformity thing that got to me.
I thought the same thing. He couldn't get beyond high school? Now that's sad. But his Mom and Dad had loads of money to get him through....as in buying his "class president", he wasn't well liked by most and everyone questioned how he got the position.
I found living in a small town, where every one was so judgmental, according to who had "money", was crazy. I married a poor guy, and didn't care. My Mom, living there didn't approve. She wanted someone "better" with more status and money for her daughter. Sister married a guy with a well respected family, who owned a jewelry store. They ended in divorce, as he was a wife beater. Me and hubby are still happily married.
Me too. I wish she had someone who would oversee her welfare. She needs to be in a facility where she can't put herself in jeopardy, if she isn't in touch with reality. But as @figmentfan423 said. That isn't so easy to do.
