Have you looked up your old classmates on facebook ?

[Iowa Roo Mom]

Nah, I really don't care too, either. I have made other friends in the years post HS, and kept in touch with the ones that really mattered to begin with

I only graduated high school 7 years ago and people haven't really changed that much.

My DH on the other hand, he is 10 years older than me and graduated in '91. I met someone on here that went to school with him (but didn't know him). I also found one of his friends that he lost contact with and they hung out and even had a golf date last week.

And he thought facebook was lame...

I haven't been to a reunion yet - and I graduated 22 years ago.

As Iowa Roo mom said - The people I wanted to keep in touch with I did.

I think facebook's probably pretty fricken awesome if A) you had your "glory days" in high school and you're looking to re-live it as much as possible or B) you've been uber successful since high school and you wanna tell people about it.

Me? I think my life's pretty cool right now...farm, goats, chickens, gardens, etc...but I suspect all but a scant few of my high school friends would probably be like "Hey, um...yeah, nice goat, but check out my job/car/house/jetski/wife/bank statement/list of chicks I've.....etc."

Which is not to say that I disparage any of that, necessarily...whatever makes ya happy....it's just that I have about as much interest in any of that as they'd likely have in the herd of epic awesomeness that are our goats.

Most of mine are on there. We're planning our class reunion via Facebook.

I have a facebook account and my old classmates keep adding me as a friend. Most of my facebook "friends" are people I'm related to - I have a HUGE family and I really should do more to keep in touch with them.

Well I'm not old enough to have really fallen "out of touch" but, I find it surprisng that the people that were my classmates/friends 2 years ago aren't really my friends anymore. I just find it "interesting" how I rotate through friends.

I quit college 2 years ago so all those friends are graduating and doing other things, and of course I have bought a house and lived my life as well.

I got a new job recently so we are all friend-ing each other on FB.

I guess FB is a good way to keep track of your friends, or to get in touch with them if you don't know their number.

That's another thing, I'm not worried about my ex, just all the questions from others about why we are not together or do you know how we can get in touch with him.

Sorry, off topic- but Ol'Fashion is that you in the avatar? Gorgeous southern lady!

... oh ranchhand I wish

, Bless your heart, you sweetie. I changed my avatar as Valerie Bertinelli in regards to my "Have you ever been told you look like a celebrity". I used to get told I look like Val (of course I would have to lose a few pounds now

). I will soon get brave enough (I'm workin on it) to post a pic of me when I was a lil younger for reference for y'all. I will let you all decide if I do when I find my pics. But thanks for the false compliment

I think that FB is really handy for keeping in touch with extended family and getting back in touch with old friends.

I've found out that a lot of kids from high school turned out to be really decent adults. I skipped the first two class reunions because I didn't think that anyone interesting was going to be there. But now, I'm not going to miss another one if I can help it. Even started an online fling with my first love. It didn't last long, she is still hot, but so very high maintenance.

It is even better for extended family as my cousins are posting pictures of their new baby and everyone in the family is keeping up in real time. In the pre-FB days I would have just heard "your cousin Albert's wife had a baby girl last week" on my weekly call with my mother. Now I tell her what's new as she only gets on FB every few days.
