HAPPY THANKSGIVING and A MESSAGE OF FRIENDSHIP

Are you tired of those sissy "friendship" poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship......

1- When you are sad---I will jump on the person who made you sad like a spidere monkey jacked up on Mounain Dew!!!

2- When you are blue---I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3- When you smile---I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in.

4- When you are scared---I will slap you for being a baby and tell you to grow up.

5- When you are worried---I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining, ya big baby!

6- When you are confused---I will use little words.

7- When you are sick---stay away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.

8- When you fall---I'll pick you up and dust you off (after I laugh my fanny off!).

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2008 !

Please go easy on the "liquid" treats.

What I've Learned As I Mature

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better be awfully good looking or have a lot of money.

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others---they are sometimes more screwed up than you think.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities or famous athletes.

I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be a lot of money to take its place.

Hartford Union High School Alumni Group Now Forming on FACEBOOK

Well, "Old Timer," are you ready to join the young, modern world of the internet and "FACEBOOK?"

It looks like members of HUHS's "Class of '83"---who are celebrating their 25th Reunion this year in 2008---have put together a "facebook" page for any and all Hartford Union High School Alumni.

If you go to the "Hartford Union High School Alumni Group" facebook page at:

http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=27776726159

you will see the beginning of an "alumni group" information page for HUHS.

BUT, it appears you have to sign up and "join" the facebook community to view a "facebook page."

It looks like Phil Larsson, "Class of '83," found our "Class of '62" Blogspot with a "google" and has extended an invitation to any and all of us to join the group or at least add the facebook page to our "bookmarks/favorites" for future reference.

You can "click" on the Class of '83 web site at that facebook page and see how they have celebrated their reunions.

It appears to be a good way to keep in touch with Hartford Union High School news.

PLEASE NOTE: The website for Hartford Union High School at http://www.huhs.org/ has an "alumni" section that posts reunion information and also directs the viewer to an independent "alumni" web site that appears to provide a location to register as an alumni and join a group representing your class.

So, we "Class of '62" members can 1-keep in touch and keep up to date HERE at our BLOGSPOT, 2-keep up to date on reunions at the HUHS web site, and 3-keep up to date on reunions and the activities of other classes at this new "facebook page."

(Ain't this modern technology grand?)

Be sure to "check it all out."

My Cousin Sent This "Girlie Wisdom" (So Blame Her If You Find These Items Offensive Instead of Funny)

1. Women over 50 don't have babies at that age because they would put them down and forget where they left them.

2. A friend of mine confused her Valium with her birth control pills... ...she has 14 kids but she doesn't really care.

3. One of life's mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates can make a woman gain 5 pounds.

4. The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat are really good fiends.

5. Amazing! You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrinks 2 sizes!

6. Skinny people irritate me. Especially when they say things like: "You know, sometimes I forget to eat." ......Now I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name, and my keys, but I have never fogotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat!

7. The trouble with women is that they get all excited about nothing and then they marry him.

8. I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day!

[Then my cousin said to "live simply," "laugh often," and "love deeply"

---so, can she be forgiven?]
