Where is everyone? I last checked in on September 30th and was 37.5 weeks pregnant. I had my son 1 week later, on October 7th. He was 10 days early - but I'm ok with that as he was 9 lbs 3 oz and 22" long. Delivery was much easier and shorter with him. I thought I might not make it to the hospital with as intense and close as the contractions were, but it was another 7+ hours before he made his entrance. Bryant is his name and he's adorable. Head full of dark hair (still has it all). His brother is a little jealous, but he's dealing with it. He kisses him all the time and checks on him when he gets upset. It's very cute. But he also pushes you away from him if you're giving the baby too much attention.

Anyhow, hope everyone is doing well - there's some crazy stuff going on with the housing market and the job market, so I hope this finds you all with a job and a home. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

catching up, too

I'm way bored, so I thought I'd catch people up on what's been going on with me. The new look for this site is interesting, Mark (btw, did you realize you have yourself listed as a female on your profile? Thought you might want to know...). So, I've been working for the school district as a preschool teacher again this year. I'm working with the special ed kids again and I'm loving it. Then I have a 'regular-ed' class in the afternoon that is pretty fun, too. It's actually the first 'regular' class I've taught - I've been in special ed from the beginning. This year's a little tougher, though, as the kids in my morning class this year have some pretty severe disorders (physical and mental). The severity was a bit of a shock to me at the beginning of the year, but it's going well and I really love the kids in my classes. I'm also taking a couple of classes at the University of Utah now. I'm working toward my Bachelors in early childhood special education. Then I plan
on going ahead to get my Master's in social work and work for the district with the elementary school kids. But that's WAY off from now. At the rate of taking one or two classes at a time, it'll be a while before I just get my Bachelors. My kids are all getting older, so I am having more time for things like work and school without missing much time with them. One thing nice about working for the school district is that I have the same schedule as my kids. Anyway, so I'm staying pretty busy, but really enjoying myself right now. It's so fun to have teenagers (except I don't remember eating even half as much as these guys eat - actually, when I was a teenager, I didn't eat even half of what they eat)! I'm having a hard time believing that I have a daughter who is driving!!! Am I really that old? I don't feel it. I think I'm starting to look it, though. :( Anyway, I need to go get some homework done. That's what I should have been doing these past few minutes any
way. It's cold here and we have a warm fire going and it feels wa
oo good to just curl up by it.

Catching up

Just checking in with everyone - seems to be very little activity lately. Where is everyone?

I'm now 37 weeks and 4 days along in my pregnancy - could go at any time. My due date is the 17th (my birthday) but I'm hoping ot have him on a differnet day so he'll have his own day. So we'll see. Getting excited and anxious, as I still am not prepared - not like I was with Dominic, but then again I wasn't chasing a 14 month old around while trying to prepare things for the baby's arrival either. : )

Still doing things around the house.....no major undertakings yet, but we did build a nice shed - I was 8 months pregnant hammering and cutting wood, etc - that was interesting. So hopefully when the market gets back up, the things we have done will be worth something.

Crazy to think our 20 year reunion will be in 2 years, isn't it? How the time flies......I'm sure it's a little too soon, but is there anyone with any news ont he reunion planning, etc?

Hope everyone is doing well and hopefully we'll see some posts on here soon! Take care, Tessa (Spear)

early JANUARY 2008:

D. J. (formerly Adolfo) Rosete

Some of you may know me, though some of you do not, as my sole connection to your high school is through Asa Mercer Middle School, a place where many graduates of Ingraham High School pass through by way of the track given them by the Seattle Public Schools. Anyway, I just wanted to state that I’m still around, still alive as it were: the march of time goes on, and it seems the effects and ardors of life (and death) will catch up with us inevitably, whether we like it or not: looking about this Web site, I’m actually a bit surprised as to what has happened to several of you. I remember a good number of you who went to Mercer, from Tae, to April, Tali, Georgia, Troy, Billie, Richard Davies, Jessica, Elise, (Joby—who went somewhere else), Jason Wong and so on; I fondly reminisce about those years, 1984-86, when there was a large November blizzard in ’85—the worst snow storm in forty years!—with large flakes of the powdery stuff sticking to the ground, and we had snow days in the district, and some of you might recall that in the Eighth Grade we stayed in school until the Third of July because of it.
I was thinking—dreaming is probably the more precise word—that we could have an Asa Mercer 25-year Reunion: No, really, I was thinking we could have a get-together, just to see each other again, with merely light refreshments and dessert; it doesn’t have to be a full-blown reunion, but we could reminisce by playing in the background music from those times, songs like “Nasty,” “19,” “Cool It Now,” “Mr. Telephone Man,” “West End Girls,” “The Conga,” “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” “Shout,” “Freeway of Love” and listen further to the then-new and faddish material by INXS (“Listen Like Thieves”) and Prince (“Take Me With You,” “Erotic City” and even the now seemingly passé “Kiss”), as played on K-PLUS and KRIZ; we could watch “The Terminator” or some other trendy movie, as we did in Mrs. Bodoia’s Spanish class; we might then take out a telescope, like the 6-inch Celestron Newtonian reflector Mr. Newton brought out, and see something in the night sky, like the planets and the moon, which one can easily spot (or Halley’s Comet, which last appeared in this part of the solar system around 1985-86, as some of you might recall; it won’t be back until 2061-62); we could rent out Mercer’s auditorium or lunchroom from the School District on a weekend afternoon, maybe a sunny one, where maybe we could recall the bake sales and candy grams and once again have the vast majority of the students boo at President Reagan. I suppose the only difficulty in having such a reunion would be the logistics to it, as to how it would be set up and to see if anyone would like to contribute their time or donate to the event. It was just a thought, Mercerites.
You might remember some other Mercer alumni who went elsewhere, other than Ingraham, like myself: Ron Brown went to Franklin, where he became ASB President, and then on to Stanford, and last I’ve heard is currently doing something in the financial world, conceivably still aspiring to be a politician; Rosanna Dolan went to West Seattle, where she was Senior Class Vice-President, and right after graduating high school got married: presently, I believe she has two children and is in the Far East with her husband, who is in the military; Josie Weisbach went to Rainier Beach, where she was class valedictorian, and today is almost certainly a person of some consequence. As the years have gone by, I seem to have lost touch with all these people, including April Lau, whom I saw in college, when I called her up just to see what was going on, it seems not too long ago; if someone could tell her I’m looking for her and Tae (John) and these other individuals who I’ve just mentioned in this last paragraph, I’d appreciate it, feeling their friendships welcome ones. By the way, I personally attempted to transfer to Ingraham three times, but wound up stuck at West Seattle High School, to my general dismay. I almost got to go to Ingy the first time around, but alas, it was ultimately no go; it seems my life would have changed, perhaps profoundly, if I had. I went on to the University of Washington, where I received my Bachelor’s degree, in History, and was also briefly at the University of Wisconsin. So, as for the rest of you, those of you who may remember me and wish to contact me for some reason or other, feel free to do so however much time it may take out of your busy lives. Whatever may become of this message, at any rate many thanks Ingraham alumni, from an old friend who still maintains a certain camaraderie with you even though he went to a different high school, as if he came from some distant, forlorn tribe in search of its long, lost relatives,

Ciao!

Some of the names that were mentioned on the previous posts are vaguely familiar to me. I agree with this person about the differences between West Seattle and Ingraham. Years later, I learned that the student bodies at both West Seattle and Chief Sealth represented an entirely different socioeconomic demographic than at Ingraham. The students at Ingraham tended to be lower middle to middle class whereas the students at the other two schools were mostly blue collar. I noticed a general sense of apathy at Chief Sealth amongst the student body there. In those years, the dropout rate at both schools was above 15%. The final two years of high school meant a dramatic shift from an upbeat white collar environment at Ingraham with generally intelligent individuals to a downtrodden 'let's get married and have children' blue collar attitude at Sealth. I only recall about a dozen students at Sealth in my graduating class entering the UW even though at the time it was easier to be admitted than today. Sealth attracted low income families spanning the entire ethnic spectrum of Seattle even though West Seattle the neighborhood was mostly caucasian. Obviously, none of my observations apply today since most of these blue collar families have been pushed out by skyrocketing prices and of course forced bussing no longer exists. People and places can be affected by change. One minute a teenager can be reeling from the fact that his father the lawyer was caught by the FBI arranging phony marriages and then the next minute be a law school graduate himself with the added confidence of 20 years of experience dealing skillfully with all types of individuals. I was too intimidated to call people on their egotistical nonsense in high school. Still, I miss the people at Ingraham and believe that the previouis post has a valid idea about a middle school reunion. However, it is important to note that at all levels of schooling people are just haphazardly thrown together which means that ultimately all end up going their separate ways in the long run. Otherwise, why would reunions be held in the first place if everyone always kept in touch?

As I reflect upon the unique qualities that this class possesses, I have attempted to confirm that this is truly the case. Google searches into the existence of other class of 1990 sites from the remaining Seattle high schools leads me to believe that this is it. Not even Roosevelt or Garfield has had either a website or a reunion. A few days ago I uncovered a free version of classmates.com and to my surprise there were already several students from this class listed. As we approach the 20 year anniversary of this class, I now wonder how some individuals have the ability to maintain open lines of communication across a relatively significant span of time. At this point in a person's life(mid-30's), it is easy to see that one's identity during their teen years is still in a state of radical change. If this is the case, then why do high school reunions possess such a powerful hold on our society's consciousness? After all, the person that you were in high school was not even close to being the finished product of who you would become in midlife and beyond. Notice how college and graduate school reunions are either few or nonexistent. In the media, there have been movies such as Grosse Pointe Blank that poke fun at our seemingly unexplained need to reconnect with our high school past. As one classmate states to the main character Martin Blank, "It's as if some of these people think that you can't evolve....". In reality, it can be that you evolve so much that you see everyone in a different light. High School reunions have a virtual cult-like iconic status in our society. It is not unusual at all to see 40 or 50 year reunions of classmates that really have only known each other a brief period of time. Perhaps it is the old adage of the story of an actual event getting better upon each retelling. Selective memory allows us to romanticize an event that objectively speaking was forced upon us by big brother the State. Even the ones that enjoyed learning would be compelled to agree that had they been given free reign I am sure would not elect to rise before 7am every morning five days per week so that starting at 7:45 am they can hear an instructor lecture on a topic that could be learned through self study at the library during a later time of day. I suppose it is the memory of high school as we recollect it rather than as it truly was objectively which gives cause to these gatherings.

I'm hoping it's a girl, so it evens; out the house, but I'll be happy with whatever we get, as long as they are healthy. House is doing good. Doing little updates here and there. The market has lowered the value to $10,000 less than we bought it for though, which SUCKS! But there's not much we can do about that. Other than just hope and pray it goes up int he next few years before we sell. Anyhow, hope everyone's doing well.

Well, it has been a while since the last time I was here. I hope everyone is doing well. I've been concentrating on work, studying for my Information Technology certifications, and traveling a little. I known someone who works at Princess Cruise Lines, so I have been able to get discounts on cruises. I have been going to New York City for St. Patrick's Day for a couple of years. Having a buddy with his own place in New York City and using Jet Blue for the trip, only costs $248 for four days, without having to rent a hotel room. (Starting in May, it will jump to $500+.) Has anyone else noticed the amount of condos that are becoming built in Seattle? In Ballard, it is insane.

I haven't been to Ballard since last summer, but I was VERY bummed to see the house I grew up in, in Ballard, which was a very nice hand built by the husband house, was torn down for a condo building that's about 5 feet from the neighbors houses on both sides. Of all the houses on the block, they had to buy & tear that one down. I was SOOOO sad. I HATE condo's. How many do we need, you know?

Otherwise, things are going good. I'm 5 1/2 months pregnatn with a little boy (my 1st successfull pregnancy) and we just bought a house that we move into in 2 weeks. So this year is a very big one for us. It's very exciting. Hope all is just as well with everyone else!

I recognize many names from this class even though I had only attended Ingraham during the first two years of high school. Recently, I walked into the office to see if Mr. Cygan was still teaching history so that I could tell him how much I appreciated someone like him teaching our classes. Unfortunately, the secretary said that he had retired a few years ago but probably teaches at a community college. Afterwards, I walked through the halls which almost 20 years ago seemed so daunting and large. Had I stayed at Ingraham I would have been part of the class of 1990 reunion. However, I do not think anyone remembers me at all. From 1986-1988, my personal situation was in complete turmoil. Because of the turmoil coupled with my inexperience in interacting with others I was for all intents and purposes a basket case internally. In my final two years I returned to living in West Seattle which required a transfer to Chief Seatlh which, in my opinion, was worlds away from the scene at Ingraham. I have to admit that many of my classmates at Ingraham were interesting individuals; I wish I had the interaction skills that I have developed over the years back then to uncover these people in the class of 1990. This class was a watershed class because it was probably the final class that drew most of its students from the local area instead of across town. I recall it being a freshman class of 500 which was also a watershed figure. Presently, Seattle is a transient place full of overpriced housing and transplants from all over the country. In the 15 years that I have been independent as an adult, I have encountered fewer than a dozen Seattlelites. Of course, whenever a person claims that they are from Seattle all one has to do is ask about the schools that they attended. When I was at Ingraham with this class, Seattle was just a respectable regional city. The Mr. Smiths and Mr. Cygans at Ingraham could actually afford to buy a house near the school with their own salary. Minimum wage was $3.35/hour for many years. Students actually looked original and would meet up with each other face to face because there were no cell phones or internet. I suppose I am one of those late bloomers. At the UW, I had a prerequisite with a girl from Ingraham but she didn't even recognize me even though we sat next to each other in a math class freshman year. Ultimately, I spent a few years out of state completing law school but when I returned in 2001 I noticed a marked change in Seattle. Hopefully, I can attend the next reunion for this class so that I can reconnect with my nostalgic past. It is good to know that there are people in this class that are still active in keeping touch with each other.

Christian, I totally remember your name, but I can't put a face to it. But I'm really bad at that anyway. I've been so busy lately. I got a job working for a 'behavioral' preschool class. I work for the school district here, and my class is the one where they send all the kids who are unable to function in a regular class because of behavioral or developmental disorders. We currently have eight children in it. I hopefully will be going to U of U soon to get my degree in preschool special ed. It's so funny because in all those questionaires we used to fill out in school, they always predicted that my ideal job was a Kindergarten teacher - lol. But I really enjoy my job. It's very challenging at times, but every day is different from the last and I really love the kids I work with. Anyway, that's what's been happening with me lately. Not much different from what always is happening with me. The kids are almost all in school full-time now, making it much easier for me to focus a little bit on my own schooling and future. Generally, it's really a nice time of life for me. I really enjoy the ages of the kids right now. They are fun, but a handful, when they are really young. But now that they are a little older, we have so much fun together. We can appreciate the same jokes and play the same games (I mean actual games - not candyland and go-fish... ugh!). So far, raising teenagers really isn't as bad as everyone says it would be. Granted, I only have a 15yo and a 13yo that qualify as teens. I'm sure it will get a little more challenging when I have 4 teenagers and a 12yo. Not too worried yet, though.

I know it's certainly not the same as your experience, but hey, it still sucked. (assholes! :))

Happy New Year to all, especially Anonymous...I sure hope this year brings much love and happiness to you and your family, even if they are cats (and a hubby)!

I really don't have much to report...Wish I did. Working on winning the lottery. Not really; I never buy a ticket.

I did recently read Andrea Burton's blog; she and her husband Ben are expecting child number 2! And AJ Oishi just had another baby too. I sometimes get the catch-up from Ms. Engelke, and those other wacky girls that seem to be current on the status of some of the other Rams.

I'm still in touch with Darrin and Matt Kuebler, saw Kleve this summer, as well as Eddie Kloth and Brian Doyle. Everyone seems to be doing well; some are married w/ kids, some just married, and some are neither. Also, for those of you interested in those from other years, I hung out with Leo Rivera a couple weeks ago. If you're ever in Portland, look him up! He's the proud proprietor of Bishops Barbershops, and it's always a good time to hang out with Leo...Paul Ito and I had dinner in Hawaii last fall! He's a director of gold at one of the nicer courses on Kauai. Oh, and last but certainly not least, my lovely sissy, Tracy, is onto her last year of grad school in Denver. She's busy, but great. Got to spend some quality time with her this winter.

That's all I got, folks!

Oh! Tessa! Again, I'm sorry I couldn't make your wedding, but I'm so glad it turned out just the way you wanted. The few pictures you sent were fabulous!

I really hope everyone had a better New Year than I did. I was in the hospital with emergency back surgery. I was diagnosed with Cauda Equina Syndrome on Dec. 29th after weeks of severe pain in my leg (which landed me in the ER on Dec. 26th). Once they finally diagnosed me, they rushed me to surgery. They weren't too optimistic about a full recovery, but I'm recovering so rapidly and so well that now they feel strongly that I will have a full recovery (which is what I believe). Cauda Equina Syndrome is a nasty piece of work. It happens when a disc slips and presses on a particular nerve root. Some people lose all sensation below the waste and have to relearn to walk and live the rest of their lives like that. I had a great deal of pain in my left leg, then the numbness set in and started progressing to the right. They caught it before it progressed into the right leg and every day I have more and more sensation and muscle control. It's actually very disorienting. I hadn't fully caught up to the fact that I had lost so much sensation so when it started to come back, my mind would get the signals mixed up. It can actually be pretty funny. Like when the sensation started to return to the numb spots on the bottom of my left foot, my brain read it as intense itching. Other times, it'll feel like I'm being tickled or stabbed. Very weird. Anyway, Shenan Compton spent several hours with me on New Years Eve, which really brightened my spirits. :) But now, I'm doing great. Can't wait to stop feeling so tired all the time though!

Normally, I'm not a sports fan, but did anyone else see the NFC Championship game last week? For the first time in my life I'm excited for the Super Bowl. The Hawks' whole season has reminded me of Ingy's in '88: "State in '88" and "Don't Believe the Hype!" Heh heh heh... GO HAWKS!

Yes, I watched it and I can't WAIT to watch the Super Bowl. This has been a GREAT season and yes, it does remind me alot of the '88 football season. We went to State that year if I'm not mistaken. That was alot fo fun....they hype and crowds at the game, etc. Those were the days. :) I'm keepig my fingers crossed for the Hawks. Those Pittsburg fans are brutal. I heard a guy on the radio that moved recently to Pittsburg (his wifes hometoen) from Seattle and because he has a Seahawk bumper sticker and window cling he's gotten his car egged once and his tires slashed twice. Imagine what will happen to the poor guy when the Seahawks win the Super Bowl!!! he better run for cover. :)

:-0 He got his car egged and tires slashed?? Sheesh! That just blows me away. Yes, in '88 we went to (and took) State. I remember it so vividly because I was in the band, so it was a big deal for us to trek all over the state for the games (a lot of fun, my favorite year in Ingy band). I start back to work tomorrow after nearly 6 weeks off. I'm excited to be getting back into the normal swing of things but I imagine it'll still be slower going than I want it to. I also start my outpatient physical therapy tomorrow.

What are everyone's plans for the Super Bowl (if you're watching)? If you're not watching, what are you going to be doing instead? I'm going to my sister's house. She and her hubby just got a new sweet 42" plasma TV (digital and HDTV). We watched the NFC Championship on it and it was amazing! It felt like we were right on the field! I never understood the fascination with gadgetry, but I swear, it's so hard to go back to a square analog TV after that! Was in QFC the other day and noticed that in the frozen foods section, Kosta has started to sell some of his restaraunt's dishes as frozen meals. I saw the "Varlamos Pizza" label and it didn't even register at first because I drive by his restaraunt all the time on my way to and from church. Then it hit me! LOL Anyway, thought that was pretty cool. Congrats to Kosta!

That is VERY cool about Kosta's food being sold. Good for him. I've never been to his restaurant...with living in Tacoma, it'a not too close. But I might have to make a point of going up there.

My plans for Super Bowl? Not sure yet. We got invited to a friends hose for a party, but he's got a 32" square screen TV, and I have a 52" Flat screen at my house...just not enough room for all the people. So I'm torn between that TV quality to watch the Super Bowl win of the century or the atmoshphere of all the friends as it's happening. Such dilemas. :) However or wherever we are watching it, it's history int he making!! Enjoy it everyone.

Tessa: Could you bring your TV to your friend's house so you can have the best of both worlds? I know that might not be an option depending on your set up.

It's funny you mention the TV, because I JUST walked in from talking to my husband about it. He was trying to find a way to get it to our friends house and suprise everyone. So we're working on it, because it would DEFINATELY be better to watch it on a 52" Flat Screen. Those 32" screens are so small!! LOL I might be interested in going to Kosta's and try it out. Where is his restaurant anyways? Isn't it on Queen Anne or something? I might have to find a QFC and check out his food. We dont' have one anywhere int he area where I live, so I'll have to look around. :)

This posting is dedicated to the anonymous jackass who likes to read what everyone has to say then proceeds to put them down. You don't have the balls to say who you are, do you? I wonder what you're doing with your life right now that's so constructive that instead of sharing whatever you may be proud of in your life you have to sneer with envy while you read all of the good things that others have to say about themselves and then think up whatever pathetic things you have to say to try to make us all feel bad about ourselves. What a miserable existence you must be living. You can say whatever you want about me and you will never make me feel as miserable as you are. It really is a pity that you perceive that I am bragging when I talk about what I am doing or where I am living. We have all had tough things happen in our lives that you probably were never interested in knowing about us, not to mention you are too narrow-minded to understand. We all have the right to be proud of what we have now, whether it is a family of nine children, a job that we enjoy, or overcoming whatever obstacles have come our way. I am sure we have all earned some respect to have come as far as we have. The fact that we choose to share it with others on this posting, whether people choose to read it or not or respond or not, is a testament to the kind of open, considerate people we are. It shows maturity, which you have obviously not gained since highschool. I have read what you have to say through past postings, and it's mean. You have a shitty attitude and I am sorry for you. I expect a seething response from you now. But before you waste anymore of your own time writing more nasty, inconsiderate, thoughtless crap, why don't you show at least a fraction of backbone and put your name on your posting? Otherwise, we'll just call you the ghost and go on posting whatever the hell we want without paying attention to your insults. Oh, and get a life.

Wooh! Glad to get that out. It's been pissing me off to log on here and have to waste my time reading that junk. Anyway, on a lighter note, Charles is right. Although traumatic times can certainly mess one up, it has been nearly 16 years since highschool graduation. Time enough to either get over your issues, or face them. And facing them means facing them the proper way, like through therapy, not by saying mean things to people for revenge. The truth is kids are mean. I don't recall ever being mean to anyone in school. I had my own insecurities to deal with. But I turned out to be confident and comfortable in my own skin. That's the important thing for all of us. Jeaneen doesn't need to be concerned about how others perceive her. And Amy doesn't need to save the world. With all due respect to everyone, Jeaneen only need worry about how she feels about herself and about her health, as do all of us. And Amy only needs to be concerned with caring for the children that she has brought into the world, because the fact is she can't send them back now. And you, Anonymous, need to worry about getting over the issues that you have clearly not resolved from childhood. Maybe Everyone apologizing is part of the recouperative process. Now that I have cooled down, I too, am sorry that you were tormented in highschool. I myself would never do it over again if given the opportunity. But my best (unsolicited) advice is to deal with it now and quit alienating people before it destroys you and you become a bitter old person. If it comes to that, you will then be angry about the fact that Amy, a loving mother of nine (I forget the actual number of kids...) has a whole bunch of doting children to take care of her in her old age, while you have nobody.

DAMN I just read all that stuff from 2005 and I about passed out! HOLY smokes. Yeah highschool was definately tough but life at ANY age is what you make of it. You can roll with the punches and jump up and fight with every ounce of your body or you can sit and mope or be like me and actually wind up doing both. LOL =0) I think I am a late bloomer. Was married in 1998, got a really good job in the computer industry and made damn good money, lost my mom to cancer in 2001, got divorced in 2003, lost the job 2004, cashed out the retirement fundage 2005, filed bankruptsy 2006 and now I am working in an ER part time living with my Aunt and Uncle since last Sept (I basically raised myself from the time I was 6 so THAT was an interesting experience moving in with grownups after living alone for 15+ years--god I miss the dishwasher)and finally going to college to do what???? I dunno. (5 qtrs ago till last qtr it was to be a nurse - only you have to make the 4.0 GRADES to be a nurse so I am at another crossroads --I suck at math--tomorrow I will be taking Math 99 for the THIRD fricking time) All of us have different paths so we can't really judge or compare each other's lives. You just do what you need to do. I am looking forward to our reunion and at the same time I am terrified because EVERYTHING that I thought I'd be doing at this time/age DEFINATELY isn't what is happening right now. We've all grown up - some of us have children that are 16ish - some of us have none. I'm watching my uncles and aunts get older and think about the future when my ass is going to be wiping THEIR ASSES or watching them deteriorate (sp). In a way, I am glad my ma passed so I can remember her in her 60's not 90, bedridden, and demented. I see my cousins who are younger than me starting their lives with marriage and kids and great careers and moving to different states and pray they won't become a statistic like me. I am even having deep conversation with them about college life and getting great suggestions from them. Shit one of them is even a VICE PREZ!! God I pray that they have good fulfilled lives. Where has time flown? I wish happiness, health, and peace for all of us. Was on myspace.com and am being contacted by people from my past this past month. What do you say when they ask you about your life? Do you say God it's been a good ride but at the moment it truly sucks ASS? Oh and there is question of do you want to make good money which possibly means that you will be working 50 million hours or do you want to do something which you love which may pay shit? Retirement: watching my aunts and uncles realizing that they haven't saved enough. ahhhh all these questions. take care.....

Well, since no one has posted for so long, I thought I'd try to get this party started again! :) Unfortunately, the thing that is demanding all of my attention is very sad: My father died last Monday. He'd been in congestive heart failure for a few years. We knew this could come at any time, but we also knew that he might live another few years. Besides, no matter how much you try to prepare, you never can be prepared for this kind of loss. It's still not quite real because he lived in Wisconsin, close to my older brother and his family. I still feel like I could pick up the phone and call Dad. It will probably feel more real after his service on the 29th. I hope everyone is well, healthy and happy. Best~Jeaneen

I'm sorry too, about your dad! I have bad news as well. I lost the baby. I heard the heartbeat at my April 19th appointment, but at my May 17th appointment we didn't hear it and the baby hadn't grown. They sent me to a specialist in Ultra sounds and they confirmed it. I was at 15 weeks and the baby was only at 12 weeks. The baby died about a week after my April appointment which is very sad, becasue david couldn't make it, so he never heard the heart beat. I went in for surgery on the 22nd of May, since I was further along. So, it was very sad. But, we were given the OK to start trying again and I'm HOPING that next week or so I'll get more good news. I'll keep you informed! But I hope everyone else is doing well. And if any of you use Mary Kay Cosmetics or know someone who does and is looking for a consultant, send them my way.

Hi Everyone. It has been a long time. Like everyone else, I get busy and then forget about the site until I am bored stiff at work and racking my brain for things to do online. I couldn´t believe when I read through since my last entry that it was before the end of last year. Yikes. Anyway, there´s not a lot going on here. Cabo is Cabo. In January I went to Rincon de Guayabitos, near Puerto Vallarta, to see my dad and his wife. I spent a week there and one of my step brothers, his wife and their son arrived the day before I left. I flew on a twelve passenger single engine airplane and wasn´t one bit pleased about it. My dad gave me two valiums for the trip back to Cabo. I didn´t take them because the flight back was easier than the flight there. I have them in safe keeping. It was the usual chilly weather here throughout the month of February. I searched high and low for a space heater with no luck. Mexicans don´t even know what a heater is. They think you are referring to a hot water heater. Then I finally figured out how to say the appropriate kind of heater in Spanish and realized very quickly that no one around here needs heaters. But the 50s is cold to me!!! Krista Barthold and Kelly McNeil are coming to Cabo for two weeks from Alaska on the 5th. I will be picking them up from the airport. Haven´t seen Krista in years! I don´t think she is Barthold anymore since they got married, but I´m not sure about that. They leave on the 20th and I will be one hour behind them. I am going to Los Angeles for a week to vacation and to have minor surgery. My friend Carla is going with me so we will have a great time. I am still working at Club Regina and living in the same house. I finally got the house wired for phone service, but Telmex has been out of phone lines for months, so who knows when I will have phone and Internet at home. Speaking of email, Jeaneen, I think sometime back you requested my email: lisakisner@hotmail.com. Smelly, I love and miss you. Call me, it´s toll free! 1-888-309-0440, extension 3004. Please sound business-like if someone answers. On the other hand, if no one answers, leave me a voice message. Jenny, I miss you too. Have you forgotten about me? The last time I tried to email you the message was returned to me. Drop me a line. I am going to try to call you tomorrow. Well Folks, got to go. Talk to y'all soon.

Some life updates:

• My dad's stomach cancer surgery went well, but there were still lingering cancer cells. First round of chemo was pretty awful -- he got such a bad reaction that he could hardly swallow. But he just finished his second round of chemo and radiation, with little discomfort (just a bout of exhaustion). So things seem to be on the upward side.
  
• Yesterday I became a daddy! Kaitlyn Leigh was born at 4:19pm, April 15, 2005. 8 pounds, 1 ounce, 19 inches.

Congrats Mark! That's great news. The wedding planning is going good. Had to change it up quite a bit, due to in-laws changing their minds about funding...but that's another story! : ) But it's all good. we're gonna do it without them. We're getting married in a chapel and having the reception in our huge back yard, so it will be nice. August weather, pool open, stereo going.....it will be fun. You can check out the details here if you want. http://weddings.theknot.com/pwp/view/co_main.aspx?coupleid=3239801184671125 The password to get to page 2 is ' yippie '. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hello Everyone, It has been quite some time (a few years to be exact) I forgot about the website...life gets soooo busy! My family moved to Atlanta in February. We love it here so far. I work at a Dayspa & Salon as a Spa technician (massages, etc.) Jim is working as a sales rep for a Low Voltage/Alarm Company. He will be starting his own Low Voltage Company(smart home wiring)within the next year. Aundreya & Kelvin are doing alright with the move, but I guess it is kind of hard to move schools in the middle of the year.

Congrats on the baby Mark...she is very precious.
Congrats on the engagement Tessa.
Everyone else, Be Blessed!

Amy Jackson has way too many kids for this day and, age.Six to be exact. Ever heard of birth control, Amy? Should have stopped at one or, two. Need a farm hand or, little league team, Amy? People probably look at you and, think that you seem crazy, two kids is plenty.Georgia Warren Laban is soo homely and, in high school she was not the nicest person, either. I am surprised someone actually married her. Must have been for something other then looks since her body and, personality are not all that,either. Her nose is big, I wonder if her husband gets wrapped in a nostril when he kisses her. Jessica Seeger is too nice to be good friends with Georgia. Georgia thought she was really somebody, smoking like a chimney. I feel sorry for the example she sets to her children. Victoria Lim and, Kevin Ross, go figure? Kevin, you are suppose to buy the cow before you get the milk. I heard all about they're wild escapades in high school. Kevin is not the best looking guy and, Victoria could use a makeover. No surprise they got married no one else would want either of them. Since, Kevin is a player.Janeen Granger, Jenny Craig called and, wanted you to set up an appointment A.S.A.P. Jill Wilkinson you were nice in high school but, the swearing makes you seem very unladylike.They're are nicer words even if you are an adult. What is Melissa Woodard doing in these pictures, it is not her class. I hope Dennis had enough sense not to marry her since, he can get a better looking woman. Alot of people think that "The Woodards" are not the best looking people.Chaney Bateham and, Karise Koffman having babies out of wedlock makes you look bad.

Tessa, It takes one to know one. You do not have any balls yourself.What makes you think these things were not true at the time? I remember the same gossip.By the way, you were also a unattractive person in high school. As I recall in high school you were easy and, had no real friends and, people felt sorry for you and, all the gossip you spread about other students.Who are you to judge someone elses when, you are not very grown up yourself. Who cares if Chaney is married. You certainly don't know how to stay married.You need to get a life and, get out of your small high school circle and, make some real friends. Just because people are polite to you now, does not mean that they liked you in high school.If they were your real friends they would have stayed in touch over the years. What do you expect to get out of this? These people don't give a rats behind about you and, neither do I. Don't make it sound like high school was all that when it really was not. Being hot headed over someone elses comments is not worth it. They have they're opinion and, you have yours.Just because someone tells it like it is or, was in high school then, that's the way it goes. People like you were not very nice so get a grip and, get over it. I agree that Kevin Ross, Georgia and the other students were not the best people to be around. There were much better influences like, Hillary Brown and, Lynnette Cook, Maurita Mader, Wendy Dickinson,Stacey Snider, Diane Cook and, Bree Davidson who were more straight-laced and proper. They made great friends if you were fortunate enough to know them.But, I guess when you are in high school you are more concerned about looking cool and, doing drugs and, alcohol and, smoking cigarette's thinking that your somebody then, and, look where this has got you, now. Drugs get you no where in life except down. I guess you learned that the hard way. I am glad that I did not give in to peer pressure since, it is not worth it. Your body is your temple. You just looked bad in school. Your high school days were nothing to write home about.

Well the wedding is 2 months away...starting to get a little stressed....still gotta do the caterer, photographer and the cake. I think we've decided on that one though. But we gotta get the yard in tip top shape. The reception is at our place, in the back tard with the pool, etc. So it needs to look nice. And with it being August, I'm sure the weather will be nice. So that's what I've been up to my knees with the last few months...and it will all be over in 1 day....how crazy is that? Anyways, gotta go make dinner...boring 'hosewife' stuff. : ) Have a good one!

Everyone, look in the posts for January of 2001. You will see the posts by that person are similar. Anyway,... I'm working at WatchGuard Technologies, troubleshooting corporate networks and moving up the corporate ladder at a decent pace. I'm saving for a home and I should have enough in a year or so. Still looking for the right woman, so I'm not getting married anytime soon. ;-) What do you consider the basis of a Wedding, Tessa? Do you consider it a ceremony for the Bride and Groom or for the Family and guests? I don't remember if you mentioned a Honeymoon somehwere. During the several discussions I've had with Elmer de la Cruz, I haven't asked him about his wedding. I've just been more surprised about him being married to Regina Ramos. The story of them meeting again after High School is funny, especially when it is narrated by Jay Sakamoto. :-)

That's great the reconnected and got married. My dad got married 3 years ago to his high school sweetheart...after 30 years aprt. How cool is that? : ) The wedding thing is kind of complicated as far as who it's for. I think the wedding portion is for the bride and groom, but the reception is for everyone else to help celebrate. At least that's how I see it. The funny thing is, the reception is the most expensive portion and takes the most planning. The bride and grooms portion is pretty easy...go figure! :) I got married when I was 21 and had a very small ceremony in a little chapel....so this time, since it's my last time...I wanted to real thing. The church wedding, the big reception, etc. And it's been some work, but it will all be worth it that day. I can't wait!! : )

My 12-year-old was reading your comments (about her and her siblings) and she had more choice names for you than I would dare type - and she'd sign her name to it. She has guts. She's also laughing with me about the whole thing... oh, and she noticed all your typo's too. What's funny is that people who are so angry don't make me mad, they make me laugh. And on behalf of anyone who may have actually been offended by your long-winded stupidity, you're an idiot... I actually really feel sorry for you. I can't imagine living with so much baggage to carry around. It's sad. I have great memories of many of the people you obviously don't like much. It's sad that you missed out on some of the better times that some of us actually had in high school.

I got married a few years ago to a Japanese national, we both live in Japan for the time being. No kids yet, haven't bought a house, but it looks like that is the next thing on the shopping list. I've been here in Japan since I graduated from WWU, been teaching English... now I'm working at a Junior/Senior high school for the past 3 years, getting my Masters Degree in TEFL/TESL, hoping to finish my dissertation next September (2006). Besides that just been riding my bicycle everywhere, managed to do 1700km over my summer break (one of the best things about being a teacher, even though my summer break is only 7weeks long!)

Wow! I am the first posting for the month of October??? And October is almost over!!! Well, I am here in New Jersey...right across from Manhattan. I hope to move into the city soon. It sucks over here on the other side. I am working on an independent film right now, starring Harvey Keitel and Emanuelle Beart. I am assisting the wardrobe department...something new...and it has been fun. I met my mentor and hopefully will be moving out of PAing soon. I've been logging more miles each day on foot than I think I did in 3 1/2 years of living in Mexico! To be perfectly honest, this month bit it for me. I had to put away my loving, devoted red Aby Meesha on Tuesday morning...he had kidney failure. It's hard to believe one can become so attached to a pet, but he really was special to me.

Wow! I am the first posting for the month of October??? And October is almost over!!! Well, I am here in New Jersey...right across from Manhattan. I hope to move into the city soon. It sucks over here on the other side. I am working on an independent film right now, starring Harvey Keitel and Emanuelle Beart. I am assisting the wardrobe department...something new...and it has been fun. I met my mentor and hopefully will be moving out of PAing soon. I've been logging more miles each day on foot than I think I did in 3 1/2 years of living in Mexico! To be perfectly honest, this month bit it for me. I had to put away my loving, devoted red Aby Meesha on Tuesday morning...he had kidney failure. It's hard to believe one can become so attached to a pet, but he really was special to me.

Tessa, you were not nice to everyone!I did not like you! No one is scared of you so, you can chill and, get the stick out of your backside.No ones interested!Did you have a sex change since, high school? You sure talk alot about "balls". Do you have them? Has your guy seen these? I feel sorry for anyone who would marry an ugly girl like you in personality and, looks.You were homely in high school. The two boyfriends you had must have been desperate for love.It takes a moron to know one, Tessa. You did take drugs so, that would make you a moron.I did know you. You just do not remember how you were then.You obviously cannot control yourself, grow up!

Lisa Kisner you sure brag alot! You think you are all that!You can stop telling us your life story. Who wants to hear about people they do not know. People remember what they remember about high school whether it sounds bad now or, not. So, get over yourself and, move on.
Amy, you have too many children, whether they are step children or, your own. Why not consider birth control? How many do you need? Why do you feel you are that great, you need to populate the world.Use your head, not your hole! I could care less about whether you or, your children read this. You are a typo! Get into reality,you are not being very unintelligent, you are only a housewife. You need to contribute financially to help your man out. What if he has bad luck in the future or, has no work? You need to think about reality, here. You seem to be living in your own world.Get your head out and, think about basic needs that you cannot afford unless you have two incomes.In this day and, age having a large family is nuts. Most people only have one or, two kids so, get with the times.That is a more sensible choice they're are enough people as it is in this world.Where are your kids going to live when they are adults? There is not enough housing available when they keep bringing foreign immigrants in the country. The only one who is stupid is you, not the person who is making you aware of your mistakes, too many children.. If you cannot see how ridiculous you are for thinking it would be so great to have so many children. Maybe you need to see a shrink to wake you up to reality.
Janeen, living in denial about your weight is only hurting you.You need to think about health issues and, how you look to the general public.People in your family tend to be on the large side so, find a weight loss plan that is right for you and, exercise more. You are more at risk for cancer, high blood pressure, heartattack,high cholesterol. etc.You do not need to defend people and, make excuses for them.If you do not want to hear how someone really feels about you or, see's you then, do not sign or, view the guestbook.

You are not all that, like you think you are and, your children do not need to be raised with swollen heads like they are above everyone.You sound really, too much into yourself, by having so many children, this is selfish. I feel sorry for your children. I am sure people laugh at you just the same or, think you are crazy for having too many children.Even though they do not just say it to your face. If you don't like honesty, then be more responsible and, tell yourself you have plenty of responsibility, financially and, you do not need any more children. Having more then, two is not brave, it is ridiculous.Use some common sense.I am sorry for you. You are so out of touch with reality. It must be those postpartum hormones.They have things to help the imbalance.You need something, I do not know anyone that thinks that a family with too many children is great. Your husband should consider a vasectomy. Or, wear condom's. I am sure you have heard of these.I just find your over-population of children a very, unintelligent choice.Makes you look cheap, like, you can't get enough. Learn to control your urges, alittle more, Amy!

Janeen, stop being so overly sensitive about your weight. You should realize it is a problem by now. Do you even care about your appearance? You were heavy in school, too. Why would you want to live like this your entire life? Don't make excuses,you can control how you eat and, what you eat, you are a adult.So, learn to be alittle stronger and, less sensitive especially about the weight, living in denial and, acting like being over weight is o.k. or, that you just accept it is not how you deal with weight issues. Your heart has to pump twice as hard.Do you not care about what you are doing to yourself? You also risk, diabetes. I know diabetics and, you would not wish this on your worst enemy.You are wrong about hatred. Getting you to focus on your weight, has nothing to do with hatred it is just making you aware that other people who have known you, would like to see you, without all the weight, for once. Is this too much to ask? Have you viewed the reunion pictures? Why does your family not take pride in they're appearance? I know that Jimmy likes his skittles but, you need to eat more fruits and, vegetables, instead. Did your parents teach you how to eat right? It is important for your health.Other classmates are probably just as concerned about you, Janeen but, have just not said anything because, they knew you would take it to heart.Yes, I can be outspoken but, it is out of concern.I am sorry for you. People talk and, I think you have the right to know that they comment about your weight.

Then amybe we can remeber you. Lisa doesn't tell us JACK! And you can go on about whatever you want.....You're the one we're all feeling sorry for, as it's VERY clear you have MAJOR issues. Low self esteem is what usually causes people to lash out and 'make fun of' or 'tease' other people. So after reading your posts, your self esteem is obviously at ground level. They have counseling to help with that...maybe it would help you be a happier person. Have a good day!

I will tell people what I really think no matter what it may sound like.Amy does have too many kids,Duh! Janeen is heavy,Duh!You think you are better then other people and, it really irritates me how you act so goody, goody. Just because, your ugly it does not mean you have to take it out on me.I think you could benefit from therapy since, it takes one to know one.You are not Miss perfect.I do not need to tell people my last name if, I don't want to, whats it to you? Feel sorry for your own sorry self!
Jill, I thank you but,I have never done anything too bad that I need prayers for.I just have an opinion is all.I am just more blunt then most people. I was tired of people arguing with me about my opinion.Everyone says things and, no one is better then anyone else.Even though some of these goody, goody people think they are really something. People say what they want regardless of what other people think. Life is rough, Jill. Some of the alumni here have had a rough life since, high school.Sometimes other people need to realize that I am not the only one who feels this way about these people. My family thinks, Amy is crazy in this day and, age to have six children. Not everyone is going to agree that it is okay to have a large family.Janeen, needs to lose the weight. It is unhealthy to be heavy it is a fact. You would think her family would care enough to talk to her. People from school think she looks bad being so heavy. they talk. Things that I say are no different then, anyone else. If, I remember, correctly, I think you wrote a swear word or, two. I do not usually talk like that myself. I think that is not appropriate unless someone has said something to me like, Tessa for instance. I do not like her. She acted like a snob and, I know other people who think so.

This will be my last reply to 'Lisa', if you're name is even Lisa at all. For all we know, since you won't bother telling us who you are, to even know if we knew you, you could be a guy! The only one sounding goody goody is you.....picking on everyone else, when we can't even defend ourselves since you keep yourself secret. Do you see any of us doing that to anyone else? No! You're the only one picking people apart. We are who we are.....and some of us are ok with people being who they are. Whether it's heavy, having alot of kids, etc. It doesn't make them bad people. It's what they've chosen or been given and they go with it. If you don't like anyone here, than quite coming to the site and spitting your venom. We were enjoying ourselves and are updates with life before you came along. You stir stuff up and don't bother to let your 'real self' be known. That's playing dirty and I've had enough of it. Like I've said many times.....we graduated 15 years ago.....at some point you have to let go of whatever it was that happened to you or didn't happen to you bakc then. We were kids trying to fit in.....move on to better things and leave everyone else alone. I'm not perfect, and I've never claimed to be perfect and I don't act like I'm perfect. And I don't think I act goody goody. Because I stand up for myself and everyone else by telling you you're full of crap, that's being goody goody? Everyone makes mistakes...I'm sure you've made plenty. We learn and grow from them. That's life. You act like I did something to you personally to make you hate me....and I don't know what it is. I wasn't a bad person than and I'm not now. Sure, tehre are people I didn't know or people I wasn't friends with...but there were like 3000 kids in our school. But again, since you won't reveal yourself, I guess we'll never know. So, since this is the last response you'll get from me about al this, I hope you have a nice life, doing whatever it is that you do, outside of chastising everyone who didn't like you or didn't know you in high school. I hope you finally find some peace with situations that are 15+ years old.

Gee, people talk about my weight? Uh. Duh. I never knew that before you came along. I never knew I was being judged about my appearance. I never knew I was at higher risks for medical problems. Thank you, God, that you have sent this troll to enlighten me. Where would I be without you! Oh, yes, and thank you, God, that this troll is criticizing me, because *that* is just the thing someone needs to hear when faced with a challenge. It is so helpful and useful. It's something I can really apply to my life to turn things around. I actually think I might know who you are. Just keep talking and help me confirm my theory about your identity. Did we ride the bus together to Northgate Elementary? Were we in Girl Scouts together? If you are who I think you are, get over it. You always were really whiney.

Lisa, congratulations on the indie film! That is so exciting. Is it something you've always wanted to do? I, myself, just got picked-up for a new local sitcom (as a writer). It will be indie TV, starting on cable access and web cast. It's going to be set here in Seattle (as the director said, "The *real* Seattle, not the 'Frasier' Seattle."). I also just got hired with a foundation to assist in Communications. What I am so thrilled about is getting to do the things I love the most. :) It feels so good. Maybe you (Lisa) and I will end up working on a project or film together in the future? ;)

Brad Pitt on Troy....I mean.....was he HOT in that movie, or what? : ) What a life!! Lots of work, I'm sure...but well worth the benefits. I'm wating to see her name on the big screen inthe credits. Do the put the PA name in the credits, do you know? : ) Anyways, not much changed here. Getting used to my last name, finally....I still catch myself trying to write my maiden name.....I'm sure it will get easier. But married life is good....pretty much the same as the last 6 years, since that's how long we've been together. It's weird to here the words 'husband' and 'wife' used in introductions as such. Gets you kind of giddy. : )So we're now working on the bills and are REALLY serious about getting a house in the next 6 months. We've talked about it for a while, but stuff comes up (like paying for a wedding) that makes the bills get higher...so we haven't paid them down as quick as we'd like. Once we got the house, we'll start working on the baby situation....my biological clock is starting to tick in my ear! : ) Well, I hope you all are doing well. Goo to see some of us are still checking in. Have a good Thanksgiving, if you don't get on again before that!!

Charles Cooper let anonymous be anonymous and, have they're privacy if they want to. Live and, let live.They are not doing anything to you. If, someone does not want to reveal they're identity they have that right, especially, on the internet, for privacy.There are reasons for this. If they wanted you to know them, they would tell you they're name or, where they live, respect peoples privacy, let it go. Just like on chat when you do not tell people your real name. This is a free country, people have the right to express themselves, freely. They also have the right to defend themselves and, have an opinion, just like you, in this guestbook.It does not need to go futher then, this guestbook.Entries can be deleted.Other people in this guestbook/chat are doing the same thing so, what is the difference. There are not anymore messages from anonymous so, let them have they're privacy and, forget about it, move on. This guestbook is no different then, chat.You do not need to be a troublemaker.People have the right to they're privacy just like, you.This is obviously a different anonymous. You do not have to constantly, relive your experiences with the first anonymous, person.So, they were anonymous and, wrote things, so what. People have the right to write something anonymously if, they choose to.Maybe, this guestbook should be closed and, have no more communication among students if, people are not allowed to have an opinion.What makes it any better that you can come on and, say things to feed the fire. You say anything you want on here so, why is this any different for anyone else? No wonder people did not like you. You do not have to bother, Mark just because you like, causing problems among students. You are not any better, yourself.So what if someone wants to be anonymous, let them. I am sure worse things have happened to you in your life. Let anonymous have they're opinion. Everyone else seems to have they're own opinion so it is no different.Bothering people outside this guestbook is called being a troublemaker.It does not pay to cause problems for no reason to someone you do not know. If, you do not like the entries then, stop coming back and, posting your opinion.This is a guestbook with no rules on what you can or, can't post. I don't see anything that says that you can't post an opinion or, write about things from school. I think Jill should pray for you.

So, maybe, this is a result of something you did to someone at one time.This is why this is being wrote. So, that other's will know why things were written about some of the people in this guestbook. I am sure you can understand this.

And all of us this person bitched about ran in different circles in school and were really only acquaintances from classes togeher....so how ALL of us offended this person, I'm not really sure. I had alot of friends in high school, in all different 'clicks'.....quite a few I still talk to....so how I was not a nice person, I don't know. I wasn't raised that wayand I pride myself on that.....I may not have been friends with everyone, but I was not mean to people....and if I WAS, then I'd like to know who they are, EXACTLY, and what I ever did to them that was mean. Until then, don't make accusations, unless you're willing to be open up and show who you are and show some proof. I'm certain I never said things to ANYONE I ever knew like this anonymous or Lisa has said to and about people on here. This board isn't for that. This board is for classmates who want to keep in touch with others. For people who were at the reunion and reconnected with people they lost contact with. To stay connected for major news about each others lives and upcoming events. True, there were no RULES posted, but it's pretty much common sense....it's to keep in touch, it's not meant to be a BITCH BOARD. We have all been on here for years keeping in touch, so it's not us that should really have to leave, but I'm sure there are some who haven't come on for a while, because of what Lisa or whoever it is has said. And that's sad.....because really, we were here first, doing just fine. So, if this person was hurt that bad in high schoool by whoever, then I hope they feel much better by all the crap they said about people in return. You're not the bigger person if you stoop as low if not lower than the people that may have hurt you. It's being the bigger, better person that's the best revenge. So hopefully they've gotten it out of their system. So, whoever you are defending anonymous / Lisa, you're really no better.....hiding yourself. As I've said before, no one can defend themselves or what they may have done if they have no idea who the person is they did it to. So I'll say to you like I did to Lisa....I won't be bother to respond to you again either....I've said my peace and have better things to do. I just hope you all find some peace with yourselves and with life in general. Life's WAY too short!

Anonymous, I think you are right about some of what you wrote last. Junior high and high school can be a really cruel time. Kids can be exceptionally mean to their peers. Very few of us had the maturity that I hope we've gained over the last 15 years. Yes, I hate to admit it, but I can think of a few kids that I would laugh at back then. I think the point people here are trying to make is that they are no longer exactly who they were back then... I know I'm not. It doesn't seem fair that people who tease or bully someone else can "get over it" and go on their way but the people who are teased or bullied have much more healing to do. To be honest, I have thought many times over the last years about the people who I used to laugh at or avoid. Honestly, in retrospect, some of them would have been great friends to have and there was really no reason not to be... except I was young and still trying to figure out exactly who I was myself. I have mixed feelings about that period of time myself. In one way, it was one of the best times... no mortgage worries, bills, nothing to really be responsible for. But in another it was one of the worst. There are a few people who I couldn't stand in high school because of some things that they did to me or my friends, things that affected me for years. But I have to give them the benefit now, knowing that a lot can happen in 15 years and most likely they would not do it now. Given that, it's nice to think about the fun times I did have back then and the good friends I had. So, Anonymous, for what it's worth, I'm sorry that I did things to you back then that made you feel hurt or uncomfortable. Heaven knows it'a hard enough time of life to go through without being made to feel like that. Can you give some of us the benefit that we are better people now then we were? You might even be surprised... you might just have more friends here than you think.

Thank you Amy.You seem really sweet.I actually have tears coming to my eyes. I am sorry if, I said anything that may have offended you. Thank you for admitting that you or, your friends may have laughed at me. I was glad to know that someone actually cares about how other students were treated.I would not be telling people this if, it was not really true. I was treated like, I had no feelings by alot of people.People would actually make me cry at school, because, they hurt me.People I remembered, often did not remember me.I was betrayed and, backstabbed by students who claimed to be my friends. I have only one good friend from high school, since, not very many people seemed all that interested in knowing me for more then, just an aquaintance.Fortunately, I have made plenty more, friends, since, then.I was threatened, jumped and, taunted by some of the other girls at school, often, for no reason.People often spread rumors about me around the school, lies. I was shy so, I had a hard time relating to other students.I was teased for years by students, because,I was held back by a teacher who hated me, in elementary school.I had a learning disability and, teachers would often use this against me and, traumatized me enough to the extent that I had a learning block.They spread rumors about me and, alot of people in high school knew that I was held back or, that I had a learning disabilty. I thought high school would be better since, people were older. I never did anything to your friends or, said anything to make them not like me.I could barely get passed your friends in the hallway. They would make it so that I could hardly walk by, and, they would laugh at me.I don't know why.I feel so alone, sometimes. You are more fortunate then, I am when it comes to having children. I have never been able to concieve, children. There is a emptiness, being, married several years and, being childless. I always wanted to be a mother so, it is devastating to not have a choice, to have or, not have them.I am not saying, I am jealous of you but, you are lucky to have children.Life can be really, lonely when you do not have them. I have cats, but, they do not take the place of children.Thanks for being so understanding. I am glad to know that people have changed.

Ok, here's a thought... we've all been on this site talking about our successes and our failures, our good times and the things that go wrong. And we've all supported each other in that. 'Congratulations, so-and-so!' or 'Oh, that's too bad so-and-so, I hope things get better for you soon.' I think maybe Anonymous wants to be a part of that. She has come out and told us some pretty personal things. Even though she may have said some pretty hurtful things to many people, I really don't think she has a mean heart, I think she is just hurting. When I was going through my divorce, it would have done no good for people to come to me and tell me, "Hey, just get over it!". It would have festered the hurt. I needed to heal in my own time and in my own way. We all do. And the support I got from my friends and family made the healing 100 times easier. Norm, you needed to deal with your truck being stolen recently (that's really rotten, by the way... I've never had a car stolen but I had one broken into once and it's a terrible feeling... but at least I still had my car). You and I never really 'hung out' in high school, but we were at least on 'hi' terms. I don't even know if Tessa and I were even that. The point is, I technicall know everyone who is posting on this site, but that's where it stopped back in high school. But now, as I've been reading and posting here and there about how everyone is and what everyone is up to, I feel like if I saw any of you, I would probablyl greet you as a friend now instead of just someone who went to my old school. So when Norm says his truck is stolen, even though I didn't know him well in school, I honestly sympathize with him and very honestly wish him the best in recovering it. I guess my point is, is that I think that's what Anonymous needs right now. She is hurting and seems to be trying to find a way to heal from it. I can honestly say that I wish her the best in it and I'm here for her... just like I'm here for Norm if he needs to vent about his truck some more (and I wouldn't blame you if you did). In lots of ways, we are building a group of friends here on this site. Although maybe in a negative way, Anonymous has been part of our group for a pretty long time. My guess is that she would rather be a positive part of it. So, as a group, can't we extend that invitation and offer her the same support that we've been giving each other for years? *For the record, I hope I didn't offend anyone here. Norm, I used your truck being stolen as an example, but I didn't mean anything personal by it. I've always thought you were really nice.

First, "troll" in the sense that I used it is a widely accepted internet term for trouble-makers and flamers. This anonymous person has been flaming people left and right on this site, therefore, I referred to her as a troll, not because that's what I think of her as human being. Second, I think this so-called "Lisa" is the same person as anonymous. Third, the last time someone posted anonymously was several years ago and he ended up revealing his identity (Jason Rideout) because he realized people were really upset. He apologized. He was just joking around but when he realized the negative impact his "joking" was having, he identified himself, apologized and never did it again. That is vastly different than this situation. Fourth, sure you can remain anonymous, but I honestly believe it is counter-productive to what you are probably trying to achieve. If you crave respect from people on this site, anonymously attacking us is not the way to do it. Fifth, anonymous, you know *nothing* about me if you think I don't understand what it is like to be teased, harassed, threatened, pubically humiliated and physically attacked (and what one carries with them for years after). Sixth, as traumatized by it as I was, as angry as I am about it still, I would never conceive to track these people down over the internet and anonymously harass them so many years later. Do I want to exchange Christmas cards with them? Of course not. But neither am I going to attack them. Where does that get me? Turns me into them, doesn't it? I have been wracking my brain trying to figure out who you are. Clearly you're very hurt but I cannot think of what I could have done to you. High school was crazy. I'm still sorting stuff out. If I hurt you, it was totally unintentional. That doesn't make it better, but there was no one I went out of my way to hurt. And I certainly never jumped anyone. If you didn't ride the bus with me to Northgate Elem. then I'm pretty sure you and I were in St. Catherine's together. If you're the person I'm thinking of, then we lived a few blocks from each other and would spend the nights at each others houses when we were in elementary school. We were friends. If you're the person I'm thinking of, this breaks my heart, because I know I would never attack you. If you're the person I'm thinking of, I want you to know I've often wondered what happened to you and have always hoped for the best for you. If you're who I think you are, your initials were SH when I knew you. If this is you, I can't fathom what I did because all I remember about you is that we had been friends and that I liked you the whole time I knew you, even if we weren't friends in high school. Is it possible you *thought* I was laughing at you? This is why I ask: Once in 10th grade, I was eating lunch with a friend and we were joking around. I was laughing so hard that my eyes were watering and a teacher marched up to me and asked me if I was on drugs (citing my watery eyes as her tip off). Her peception of me was based on one moment. She never got over it. Anyone who knows me knows how ridiculous her accusation was because in high school I wouldn't even accept a Tylenol for a headache (literally, just ask Mark or Amy). Could it be that there was an incident that may have made it seem like I was laughing at you? The only time I recall ever openly mocking anyone was in 9th grade when I had a crush on someone and he walked by. I'm not proud of it and I'm not trying to make excuses for it, but the only reason I did that was because I was so insecure and didn't know what to do (stupid, I know, but there it is). Other than that, I can't recall an incident in which I openly, intentionally mocked anyone. My last point is this (to piggy back what Amy said): a lot has happened in the 15 plus years since high school. People are different. Look at what Amy was able to do: you visciouly attacked her for having so many kids and she turned around and was very kind to you. I'm not saying you don't deserve kindness, but give us a chance. Give us a chance to make up for whatever we did to you. Attacking us is not going to get any of us anywhere. If you don't tell us who you are or what our wrongs against you were, how can we possibly make things right? And why are you assuming we wouldn't want to? Why are you assuming that 1, we were bad people in high school ('cause last time I checked, high school was hell for everyone, whether it was school itself, or in my case, my home life) and that 2, we haven't matured, that we've stayed exactly as we were then? And most importantly, WHY are you not giving yourself a chance? Why are you cutting yourself so low that you don't believe we'd welcome you with open arms here? There are a lot of people on this site I never knew in high school (eg, Charles Cooper, knew by name and face only) but here I am, interacting with them. Give yourself respect: stop telling yourself the world hates you. Stop proving it to yourself by provoking us into attacking back at you. I'm angry about this because we ALL (including you) deserve so much better. Whether or not you are the person I'm thinking of, I want the chance to right whatever wrong. If you don't tell me who you are, I won't have that chance. If you continue to attack me, it really only goes against you. My temper is shorter than Amy's, and my patience thinner, but like Amy, I am very quick to forgive. Just stop attacking me to give me a fair chance to do it.

Jeaneen. No, wrong Jenny. But I know who your talking about. You and I were not in the same class. Actually SH and I are class of 1991. I found this web site looking for Ingraham 1991.
