I went to my 10th for brother Martin. My 20th is next year.

The second 10 years went a frickLOAD faster than the first 10.

Mine is also coming up and have no desire to pay $100 to go to some bar in BR for a renunion. Makes no sense to me

Scruffy is already overcompensating for his height.

That would be too much.

Not trashy.
Not saying my 50th was trashy, or that my classmates were. Just that after 40 years of not seeing most of them, it was shocking how old we all got, and how fat and/or disabled some got. Plus, the "In Memory of..." deceased classmates list had grown far bigger than I knew. Some surprises. Eye opening reality check. In my mind we were all still those 18 year olds wirh our whole lives before us. Seeing the truth busted that illusion forever. It was healthy, but a little sad.

No issues with what people do, but to be absolutely fricking ripped at a nice function, at 38ish, is kinda trashy to me. No one danced. The band was a waste. Hell, I walked in with a couple of drinks in me and it was like I had walked into a room with nice dressed people on a 3 day binder. Back in the day I smoked pot and snorted up atleast an 8th of Columbia. I have no problem with those who do now that stuff now. I was just looking forward to hanging out with everyone since I don't do social media. Kinda sucked.

Okay yeah, that's a tad too much

They are pointless nowadays. You can tell who got fat and who didn’t on Facebook so what’s the point?


True but it's fun to meet up with the guys and girls who you never get to see. You may not like all of them but theres always a few worth visiting with.

Is it trashy to go if I have to fly?


Nope. I made travel plans to go to my 10th and my 20th. Both were cancelled (10th due to low interest, 20th due to BR flood in 2016).


What's dumb is a 5 year reunion. People who plan those must be some of the most annoying classmates one went to school with.

I skipped the 5 and 10, coming up on 20 and will probably go to that one.

Last one I wen to was my 30th, had a great time Many of my classmates looked exactly the same, some were unrecognizable. The sad part was the first person I asked "where's so and so?" the reply was "he's dead!" Class of 225 people 11 had died, 9 whereabouts unknown.
