re: Ever run into an old flame ?

Yep...just last week in fact. I've seen photos over the years on Facebook but until I saw her in person the ravages of time were not apparent.

Holy moly...

She waved at me from across a store and I looked right at her and then looked behind me to see if this stranger was waving at someone else. When I finally recognized her I'm almost positive I did the universal, "Holy shite! You look so different I didn't even recognize you!!!" face...

This didn't happen with a flame per se, but a couple of years after I graduated from high school I went to church with my family and I noticed a female was smiling and waving at me from a pew across the aisle.

I just stared at her as though I was looking at a crazy person. I assumed that she mistook me for someone else.

At the end of the service she walked up and told me, "It's been so long since I last saw you!" I was uncomfortable because I still didn't recognize her. Finally, she spoke long enough that I finally identified her voice and realized she went to school with me for six or so years.

It turns out she gained at least 50 pounds since I last saw her.
