This is just for fun, don't worry, no matter what you say I won't be crying into my pot noodle. There's a school reunion in June. At the moment I'm divorced, unemployed and I live at home with my parents. Not a sniff of a new man either. I'm not unhappy though. I'm fairly content, but, I 'd be nuts to go wouldn't I? I am job-hunting and house-hunting but that doesn't sound quite the same as having a job and having a house! It won't cut ice. Mixed school if that makes any difference. I think I'm less afraid of the men judging me.

    @maggiepuccini - Don't worry about being judged. I noticed that at my10th reunion, everyone wanted to show each other up. I married this girl, make so much money, and look at my house and boat.

    Later, you hear about their divorce, bad economy = failed business and/or lay offs, and death. :sad:

    Don't worry about those types of people, be proud of your children and good health.

    Did you like HS and the people you went to HS with? Care to hang out with them for a night? Then go.

    I hated HS, so no, I wouldn't go in any event.

    You could always say "I'm taking care of my parents...and doing some freelance stuff." "Freelance what?" "Oh, you know...this and that. Hey, is that Susan? I must go say hi. Byeee."

    I wouldn't go unless I was in a good place. Then again, there's no one from high school I really want to see.

    I was going to go to my reunion. Then I remembered I hated those people then - why would I want to see them now?

    Tell them you invented Post-its. They'll totally believe you.

    just borrow some money from your mom...rent a limo, a designer dress and make up stories about how much you have traveled and maybe how you are currently working on your 3rd book writing. yep...that'll work. I'm sure you won't be the only one there stretching the truth or flat out lying. lol

    "You're pursuing your life long aspirations of [insert something you're passionate about here], while taking a little time to decompress and refocus."

    .... then, when you actually start talking to someone that already does something involving your passion, you instantly networked yourself in to a contact.


    Turn this situation around for good - forge a new path and kick *kitten* all the way to the end of the road!

    I need to see pictures of these shoes first before I give you my answer.


    But most likely, no.

    You know what would be really awesome? Go, show up confidently, tell anyone who asks the truth. Be open. Own your reality. If you are OK with it, and can get over the fear of being judged, I think showing up and being completely open and who you are will be life affirming.

    No. I would not wear your shoes. I would however attend my own HS reunion in my own shoes. Go, you'll have fun.

    And frankly, you NEVER know, you could get a connection for a great job, spark a romance, or just have an amazingly good night!

    It's like Jase from Duck Dynasty said "If I haven't talked to you in twenty years.... there must be a reason"
