It's my 40th high school reunion this year and I was halfway thinking about going because round number and all but the thought of having to tell people what I've been up to for the last 40 years made me so tired. I'm sure there's more people than I know about, although I know about enough, that we've lost, too.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've never been to my high school reunions. I only went to that school for Jr & Sr year and gor the first ones i was in such a bad place i was too embarrassed to go.
So we had Starlink installed at work today. The guy installing it had some issues and had to get into the ceiling in the breakroom.
I didn't go to my reunions either. I was not an active participant when I was there and don't know or remember anyone from that time. I still have friends I grew up with, but not from school.
I know that people from high school check in on Classmates, but I've waited so long to reunion that I'm now at the See Who's Alive portion--once again, it'll probably a big "Psych!" that I'm on the list, but I think that's a lot of money for a chick with not a lot of old times memories and, frankly, not a lot to brag about. Maybe I could buy Classmates again, though-- I'd like to say "Hi!"==they were pretty nice, but it was like being the exchange student from Criponia, not like having a gang. Or even a posse, which was not yet passe in high school and might have put me on-point or even AHEAD of the curve if I'd claimed it then.(I wish I'd had disabled Pink Ladies, really.)
I am eating a nectarine that has been sitting on the counter and is probably too ripe for some people's tastes. AIFG
I enjoy that, T, but it gets sloppy. Ate some antipasto from a local place that gets local lettuce Hit the spot.(I have kind of a small salad spot, but I do have one. Although cucumbers in vinegar is sort of a salad, right? we eat a lot of those.
Totes messy, but I had a saucer to catch the juice from the slices and a handy napkin for what got on me, so not lastingly.
Hummingbird activity at my feeder was late to start this season, and has been much less frequent than usual. It is only now starting to pick up.
Just now, for the first time in 19 years at this location, I witnessed a brief and uneasy détente -- two hummingbirds feeding at the same time. I hope it starts happening more often now.
I am delighted.
I saw a kind of chonky hummingbird in our backyard the other day!
I can't have any bird feeders, hummingbird or other, because they attract bears, which is an issue around here. Also, a torment for my cat and/or the birds.
DH has been super productive here, tearing out the old shed, and now has plans for a new one, as well as a large backyard desk. Need to move the fire pit over some. Also, plans to add a hot tub on the deck. My hope is that he is here enough to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
