Some funny, some bittersweet, etc. I missed the 10, 15, 20 year reunions... No desire to go to one. Keep in touch with a few folks from time to time. Hmm. 10 years. Age 30-40. Was a cougar, looked for trouble; Met my soulmate, kids in double; Lifes ups and downs, found in pounds. Or... Crazy, wild, confused inside. All that past can step aside. Life is good, and getting better -- Running, swimming, and getting fitter. Best I can do in short notice. :-P I loved reading these!!! Some funny, some bittersweet, etc.

Crazy, wild, confused inside. All that past can step aside. Life is good, and getting better — Running, swimming, and getting fitter.

Best I can do in short notice. :-P

Got meds, got better, got skinny, fell in love, moved up north with guy (wha?). Got realistic about love, got my own place, sister moved in, went to college. Finally really starting to appreciate job, man, family, self. Am now fatter yet happier and stronger than ever before. Holy cow. It's kind of fun to think about it in such simple terms instead of focusing on all of the morbid details. Granted, it's not all beer and skittles but I think I am going to be okay. What an unfamiliar yet totally awesome feeling. Moved down south, moved back home, got sick, moved down south again. Got meds, got better, got skinny, fell in love, moved up north with guy (wha?).

Holy cow. It’s kind of fun to think about it in such simple terms instead of focusing on all of the morbid details. Granted, it’s not all beer and skittles but I think I am going to be okay. What an unfamiliar yet totally awesome feeling.

Thank goodness no one said anything about the weight. I am up like 50 lbs since then. :( PQ, you would have been lucky to be explaining the reverse situation. Actually, there was a guy at my reunion who had surgery & lost a TON of weight. I just pretended like he had a new haircut or something: "Wow, you look great!"
