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.

Have not "run into" any of them per se. Based on current Facebook pictures, most of them still look pretty damned good. A couple are looking their age big time.

Both of my "serious" girlfriends from high school are hot as hell. One has 3 kids but has a better bod than then and the other has 2 kids but she works out religiously.

Ran into a fling from college the other day. She had gotten divorced recently and was in great shape too.

I'm the one who's let myself go. Hah

Went to the lake after hours place a while back to get some stitches in my hand. My wife was out town and my only other doctor friend didn't answer the phone so I figured what the hell, I'll just go get stitched up. Sit down, in walks my ex girlfriend. We split when she was in med school and she was really shitty about it but we were kids and we both eventually moved on. No hard feelings. She looked really good and I was feeling happy for her that she made it through school and was on track for a good carrier. I thanked her for the stiches, gave her a hug and went on about my day. Then about a week or two later I mentioned seeing her to a friend who filled me in on her situation. She was apparently fricking her boss who was married and more or less ruined her carrier. I had no idea that after hours and small clinic doctors make shite money but from what I gathered from hearing her story is she's really struggling right now.

At first I felt sad for her, but then I


I keep seeing people say they see their ex's on facebook. Do grown men really have facebook? and if you do, why do you keep up with what your ex's are doing?

Too cool for Facebook?

Just a way to keep tabs on people man. And an idle time killer. Much like this place, just not anonymous.

I've friended exes if the split was amicable. Just to keep tabs again? Most all began as a friendship. Why not keep tabs with friends.

Now the one married chick I had a fling with?? Thats just to be edgy.

She's still married to same guy. I can't imagine. She RAN AROUND. I was by no means THE other guy. I actually private message her sometimes. She always was fun to talk to. We just now talk about old people stuff. Work and kids. And her hysterectomy. Thats an "old man moment" there youngsters. when an old fling is old enough to have had her lady/baby parts removed? You're old.

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling, Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve

She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried

We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged

We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie

I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure
If I saw doubt or gratitude

She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another 'Auld Lang Syne'

The first person to find out that I was engaged to the current Mrs. Sheep was the former Mrs. Sheep.

I popped the question on a random weeknight, we went out to eat to "celebrate" and we ran into my ex while we waited for our table.
