Reconnecting with former classmates and friends via the internet

Yes. I can't stop eating as long as there's food. Whether I'm stuffed or not.

It used to work much better before I was married. I knew my weakness and never had anything to eat at home other than bare minimums. And never junk food. Ever. But now, she likes to have stuff around all the time. Good stuff. So I eat. And I eat. When I want to give my digestive tract a break, I just stay late at work. Nothing to eat there after 1:30pm.

I was so glad when I began gaining weight. It wasn't fun to be skinny. Yet, I know I should stop gaining weight as soon as possible or I'd be like my once slim classmates.

I recently found on Facebook an old friend and classmate of mine whom I haven't seen or spoken to in person in about 25 years. It's amazing to see an old friend like that and how they've changed over the years, as well as getting a glimpse of the path they took. On the other hand, it's sort of depressing because our lives have gone in such different directions, any chance of staying in touch beyond adding them on Facebook seems near impossible. I'm just wondering what others here have done regarding connecting with old friends and classmates via the internet. Has anyone here been able to maintain any kind of connection beyond just adding them?

Awwww Steve, so nice to see you makin up with the children that beat yo a$$ as a child.

So who are your BFFs on Facebook, Marc? Let me guess: Beavis and Butthead?

Such a child. The only freinds I have are the ones you wish and dream you had.

Yeah I am of FB but I don't really get the point of it, people I can barely remember want to add me to their friend list, then I am pestered with seeing the details of their life being posted, on those occasions I sign-in.

Then I get Ex's wanting me to add them as well, my wife is not the Jealous type but that seems to be pushing it? Any opinions on that?

The of the people in my past I would like to have on my list... I can't find.

I have a friend who has a "drinking problem" (you could say.)

One of the ways it manifests its self is he chats up females on his list with vulgar suggestive talk..... people who are not into this type of stuff and pity his poor sweet wife.

As I have become aware of this, I am thinking of calling him on it, but what good would it do?

I always call him 'The Grapist" after reading an article in The Onion about the Hamburgler.

I write about myself at FB because I can't always PM people or answer all their mails. They do want to know what's going on now that I'm far from the PH.

Perhaps your exes want to see if you married someone who looks better than them or if you are living miserably after all. I don't care about checking my exes profiles although there are a few of them who added me at FB. I am perfectly happy with my life.

For the last part: I have a cousin who has been living in Singapore for more than 15 years. She is now 37. The last time I met her was when she was 29. She looked like a supermodel back then. I found her at FB recently and while I was viewing her photos, I noticed that one of my aunts wrote a comment in my cousin's album, "What happened to your sexy body? You are fat now!"

My cousin replied that she has an illness and that caused her to gain weight.

I wrote back under the same album: I can't believe such a tactless and thoughtless comment is written here considering that Facebook is public. Why weren't those comments deleted?

Duh...

Cool !

I suppose a good many I went to school with are dead by now.

What high school did you go to (I'm assuming in the Detroit area?)....My mom went to Cody High class of '72ish but had older/younger siblings....Or did you grow up on the east side / southwest?
