ClassMates


I found a website that has all my old high school class mates on it, no it isn't your run of a mill classmates.com. It is a website that some of my fellow class mates have put up so we could keep in touch. I found my old senior picture on there.
It held my attention most of the evening trying to catch up on old postings and go through the class directory. I was shocked to find so many have passed away. Seeing this makes me homesick for latter days. So many people have changed. I almost fell over when I found out that my classmate Troy Hooper was indeed the Troy Hooper who played for the Pittsburg Pirates and the White Sox. I had heard his name mentioned as my grandpop watched baseball, even made the comment that I went to school with a Troy Hooper. Lo and behold it was him. He hasn't changed a bit. Same ole Troy. Good guy. Some people look exactly the same, some have changed drasticly, but everyone of them seemed the same ole friends I went to school with.
I was listed as "missing" under my profile, so I went to the message board and informed them I was not missing, they were.....and indeed they were....missing from my life all these years. I cried when I seen all the pictures, everyones babies. So much time has passed. They are all getting together for a cruise, which I will have to miss...which totally sucks since they will be sailing out of a port just a hop skip and a jump from me, but they are doing things together every year for those of us who live far away and can't make certain events. I am going to go to one of them, but for now I am going on a strict diet and excerise program. I have inherited my grandmother's body. I call it the Chicken leg look. I have nice legs, not too small not too big, but the upper half is a bit on the heavy side. Well I have to say I am happy with my arse, no it is not buns of steel, but not the side of a barn either. My tummy on the other hand is a pudge and My chin has decided to have a friend over and if I'm not careful it might turn into a slumber party...

your chin, my eyelids. now, if there was just some exercise we could do for them, without spending money for plastic surgery.

I was thinking of using the mixer on high speed with giant beaters attached, but am a bit afraid the extra flab might get caught up in it.... That happened to my shirt one time infront of company, they suddenly new me better than they ever had...

that reminds me of the time I was at a family function, and two my nieces were pointing to me an giggling. couldn't figure out why, until someone told me to close my legs, my balls were hanging out of my shorts.
