I have one coming up in October. I've had too many although not as many as Dave Cummings, LOL. I did have a great time at each of them though and it's great to see all my old buddies.
The really fun one I still go to is my military reunion. We all meet at Hotel del Coronado every August. Its 3 days of drinking on the beach we used to work at called gator beach. 3 days of emptying multiple budweiser beer keg trucks. I'm not a big drinker but I always manage to stay drunk for the entire 3 days. Afterwards my old fire team usually heads down to Ensenada for another day or two. I have a good time but at the conclusion I will have to admit I'm glad we only do it once a year.

High school friends are like turnips. Better left where they are. Back in high school.

love spac

Whats High School?

I haven't gone to any of mine. The people I really care about I still stay in touch with.

One funny, but sad, thing was for our 10 year reunion they sent everyone out a questionnaire and wanted you to fill it out and send it back even if you weren't going. They used that info to put a book together for everyone that attended that told about everyone's lives. If you were married, had kids, what you did for work, where you lived and what you biggest memories from high school were etc. One of the questions was your biggest moment since high school. Some of the answers were depressing and sad. One guy's best moment was shooting a deer on the opening day of deer season. Another was a guy just wishing things were like they were in high school. There were a bunch where people were divorced, had kids and sounded like they hated their lives.

A friend of mine went and said the whole thing was kind of depressing so I was glad I didn't go.

Haven't been to one but have no particular aversion to them. If the timings right I'd make it to the next one.

If you "liked them", or they "liked you" so well, it would not take 10 or 20 years, and some class reunion in the day of social networks, to talk to them.
:2 cents:

True dat.

I've been to a few homecoming games with friends over the years and you've summed it up perfectly. Anywhere between 5-20 year mark it's the same old stories. Married, divorced, kids they never see, factory workers, whatever.

Those who I liked back in H.S., in college, or other acquaintances, I still talk to and never lost touch with. Whether via the old phone number system before, or social networks now. We still get together a few times a year for dinner, golf outings, jet-skiing, a night out, or whatever.

No interest in a large reunion. It's hard enough when you meet someone from years ago and after about 30 seconds find you have nothing in common and are bored of them.

its ballah to arrive @ your high school reunion in a helicopter :D haha

yea - I went to mine.. thinking everyone was all married and chit.. but it was surprising that everyone's still living young.. or well trying to anyway hehe.

I went to my 20th about five years ago and had a freakin blast. This was fortunately before facebook blew up. Most people knew what I did too... it was too damn funny with all the questions.

I went to my first one.. I had a great time.

The hot chick got fat... the hot guy lost all his hair... the nerd with pimples got rich and married a hot chick.

The guys all told me... wow!! you got hot! I guess I was not hot in high school.

I didnt go to my 20th.. becuase it was only a few months after my best friends funeral and i had already been back home.

Im going back home again in june to attend a wedding and a funeral (memorial) all in the same day.
