When Brinn Williams got a text message from her daughter's school director on Wednesday, she was not prepared for what was about to be shared.
"The minute her school texted, I was like, 'Oh no, Ruby is sick'," 33-year-old mom in central Nebraska told TODAY Parents.
As it turns out, Ruby's teacher was curious about a card the little girl brought to preschool.
"Ruby loves to draw and color and create cards for everyone," Williams said. "Last night, she asked if she could use some of my stationery. I have rainbow stationery so I was like 'Sure, of course, go ahead.'"
Williams said she had forgotten she had a box of cards out on her desk....
Anybody here ever gone to a HS reunion? I haven't, had no interest in the least. I follow the quote from "Big Chill" in response to the though that high school classmates have "known each other for a long time..." It goes, " Wrong, a long time ago we knew each other for a short period of time; you don't know anything about me."
Some people have managed to forge lasting friendships from high school, but I think mostly it's what I call "situational acquaintances" or people that you get along with for a while because you're stuck together in a common circumstance.

I went to my 20th high school reunion. It was weird; a lot of the guys were bald and fat so I felt pretty good since I was neither of those. But your "....a long time ago we knew each other for a short period of time" doesn't really apply in my case. Most of my high school class attended elementary and junior high school together as well, so by the time we graduated from high school we'd all known one another for about 2/3 of our lives at the time we graduated. So, at the 20 year reunion we're all about 38 years old and at that point most of us had known each other for still almost a third of our lives. But I understand how my situation wasn't exactly typical. And it's not been what you'd call typical at any time since. I suppose next year they will have the 50th reunion and I'm still not bald or fat. Hah.

Understood, and certainly there are a lot of people who continue to live in the same area and continue to be friends long past high school. Those people don't need a "reunion" because they've never un-united. In my case, I can think of maybe three or four people from high school that I'd care enough to wonder what they're up to. And as it turns out, at least two of those went off on ways not the least bit compatible with my adult self. People change, mature, develop, go crazy, turn into hippies or accountants, whatever. Just seems to me a reunion has no positive value for most, certainly not me. If I was one of the popular kids, I probably don't want to know what my old classmates really thought of me, and if I was a nerd, I didn't make enough friends to re-kindle. But that's just me. Others may (and obviously do) disagree.
Awww. , Useless. So much for "Ignored". You fail again. Plus, Useless, you've been busted too many times for anyone to believe you're not reading my posts, anyhow. It's just your excuse for cowering. Awww.

Yeah, I know. Most of the people I used to know growing up have either died or just floated off somewhere. But if they have that 50th reunion gig next year I might go disguised as somebody else and then jump out naked to reveal my true identity. Probably go as a nun and rip off my habit and announce "enough of this goddamn stuff" and then just see what happens. This is trump country, and you have to act like it.
Did you know that baldness in males is, reportedly, a trait handed down via the maternal line?
All my maternal uncles (that I met) had full heads of hair. My dad had no brothers. Guess what I got, even in my retirement?
I have a cousin living in this area. Different maternal line. Bald as a billiard ball.
Baldness has also been known to be the result of one's head being vigorously rubbed back and forth on a thick carpet. It's often referred to as "pattern baldness" and is prevalent among the unwary. Your uncles were the main players in the sordid affair. sick

I don't think so.
But if it calms you to hold such notions, who am I to object?

If your fat bald old classmates, or even the males, recognize your naked self, you've probably got better high school stories than the rest of us. Let's have them.

You not be understanding....none of the women were bald. And there's lots of stories about when the women and the cars were fast and the music was good. Actually, I'm surprised I'm not fat and bald after going through it. But as I noted, some made it and some didn't.

Older whiskey, and more money"

Good thing. Otherwise one of their hubbies might have slapped you in the mouth for joking about their wife's lack of head hair.
