Finding classmates

I have been successful at finding classmates by putting up a myspace profile at myspace.com. This is free and there are more of us (from the 70s) on their than you might think. It is primarily a social internet space for younger people, but I have located and reunited with several former classmates - it's great. There is also a section for high schools - so we are able to post about the good ole' days. It's fun being able to see pictures of old friends now, as well as their children and grandchildren. The best part is that there are no fees involved.

Trying to find classmates. Has anyone tried. .. sm
finding classmates through the advertised sites like Find a Classmate or Reunion.com, etc? I figure these are only successful if someone has registered on the site and doubt many of these classmates have registered. I don't know married names on lots of these people and don't know what state they now live in so I need one that tracks down from maiden name, school, home town, year of birth, etc. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
CLASSMATES ya have to register costs zero
very easy at classmates.com, except for their ads (ignore them) - find the state, the school, the year you're interested in, then scroll away for the people's names. Most marrieds put up their maiden names at classmates.com.
I got one of those! But it was from a classmates friend supposedly....
and when I tried to open the link my computer froze up, thank goodness, I guess? Or could I still be in for trouble? Don't they need more information from you, passwords and such?
Classmates.com is hugely successful. I graduated with over 900 sm
and right now we are only missing about 100 people. So, give it a try! Good luck!
Famous highschool or college classmates?
Anybody go to high school or college with someone that now is famous? My husband graduated high school with Dennis Basso. He is a designer who is on QVC a lot. I want my husband to call QVC everytime he is on to chat with him for laughs but he refuses. He says he was a loner in school, Dennis, I mean. Now look at him. Bringing home the big $$$$$
Son's teacher tells his classmates he has ADHD...
My 12yo has ADHD diagnosed since he was 5. He is now in the 6th grade and is having an extremely difficult time with his peers. He is being picked on terribly, excluded from groups, bullied and harassed, always when the teacher is out of sight or has her back turned. She knows it is happening but doesn't always see it because they're sneaky. Last Friday was a worse than usual day for my son and the teacher actually witnessed some of the students being rude and mean to him. My son left the room to use the bathroom and while he was away the teacher announced to the whole class that he has ADHD and to stop picking on him. I know this is a fact because I asked several of the kids and they confirmed it. The teacher called me at home tonight to explain what happened and why she said it. She said she was so angry at the kids for the way they were treating my son and in a state of anger (the kind when you can't even think of words to express your emotions) she told them he had ADHD and his annoyances and behaviors are sometimes out of his control so stop picking on him. She basically read them the riot act. I realize she was trying to help and defend my son but even she admits maybe she made things worse. My son told me today that somebody called him "sped" for special education. I hurt so much for what he is going through and don't know what to do. Isn't ADHD protected under privacy and confidentiality laws? Did she violate my son't privacy or am I making a big deal out of it. I am having a meeting with the teacher on Wednesday and need some advice on what to do next.
Let me say, after finding someone again
I wished I had stayed alone. I am not getting divorced again at least not until the kids are grown, so I have made my own space. But let me tell you I believe living on one's own is preferable to living with the wrong person, quite preferable. At least you don't have someone controlling every single move you make!
You just finding that out?
I have 3 cats now but my older cat who died last year was a fabulous mouser at my previous home. She moved most of the time (due to age) slow until she caught a glimpse of a mouse and talk about going into third gear! She killed at least 3, that being 3 less than I had to try to jump up on a table from. I now have 3 younger cats and they might run from a mouse as they have never seen. I have cats who live next door who wander thru my yard (althought not supposed to let animals roam in my neighborhood) and my husband could care less- knows they keep the mouse population down.
Where are you finding pants with
inseams of 33 inches? The usual is more like 30 to 32 inches where I shop, unless they are talls.
I was on three meds before finding the right one (sm)
Zoloft made me too sleepy, Effexor didn't do much but gave me strange buzzing sensations when stopping it. Prozac, low dose (10 mg a day) has helped a lot. I take it in the a.m. so it doesn't keep me up at night. But by the end of the day it helps me sleep. (I also take melatonin for sleep). At first you may have some palpitations when your body is getting used to the Prozac, not sure about the other meds with that symptom. I definitely think Prozac is the best.
Yes, and I'm finding it very depressing.
I find myself having to make lots of pasta dishes because pasta is so cheap. I am single but 16 yo son lives with me and you can imagine how much he eats. It's really discouraging to be on such a strict food budget. Just seems like money doesn't go far at all these days. :(
I was one who wrote below about finding SM
love after divorce. I believe there are good men out there, but they are hard to find, especially the older one gets. I think the key is letting him find you, but it doesn't mean you can't put yourself out there.
OK. What I think about problem men have in marriages. I'm speaking about my own here. I was the only girl he ever dated. He asked me to marry him and I said yes. He knew it was mistake, but was devout Catholic and just stayed married, but decided he would still like to be single, so he began cheating on me. As for me, I loved him for a long, long time. When I see him at family events, I wonder why! LOL!!!!
Have you tried finding a copy? Think a new
copy would be nice, not a used one.
Tried finding out myself what happened
I did not particularly care for her. She could not stop crying long enough to sing and besides that she messed up everytime she got up on stage, flubbed her lines. Simon had said if that happened automatically out and yet they passed her on through.
She might be better finding a new career
I hate to sound harsh or rude, really, but if you cannot do the Indian accents, it might be wise to take your unemployment benefits and transition to a new career. There are few jobs out there that don't come with a goodly number of ESL dictators, and the transcriptionists that have jobs typing just the "good" dictators aren't crazy enough to give them up.
So keep telling unemployment you're looking for work, but do your stress level a favor and look for it in a different field.
Was just thinking, finding a boy-toy would be the way around it....
:)
Not that yours is a boy-toy in his 40s... but you know what I mean. :)
finding a new mortgage company...sm
Is at the top of my agenda for this year, but it was the plan all along to refinance this year anyway, so...thanks for the support y'all!
Anyone else finding the net slow today? Must be all

I am so depressed about them finding James Kim dead. I am having a really sm
hard time grasping this that I can't imagine what his poor wife and family must be going through. I can't even move and want to read everything about them finding him, etc. if he only stayed in the car with them - He left Saturday morning to look for help and the found his wife and girls on Monday. And he was found dead today miles from where the car was found.
I guess I could thank God that his wife and 2 children are still alive. I am happy they are alive, but it just makes me unbelievably sad what he must have gone through. He had such a great will to live and yet he died out there.
I don't know if anyone out there reading this who lives in Oregon, but I certainly have zero desire to EVER venture out into the Oregon wilderness, now more so than ever. I've heard horror stories about one-lane, winding, extremely hazardous roads and I don't understand why the state won't fix that? This isn't the first family to go through something like this because a lot of maps are contradicting.
This should serve as a warning to anyone who wants to travel the Oregon mountains, especially in the wintertime - DON'T DO IT.
How tragic and sad. 
Glad Roxy is better - finding that web site
When I went to that web site to copy the link for you, I went into the breeder section and out popped a picture of a dear friend from my bird breeding days. I've known here for 16 years, but we have been out of touch for the last 5. I called her and she happens to be coming to my city over Labor Day weekend, so we are going to be able to have a reunion and I'll be able to see her and all the cute little cudly birdies I used to raise - I've missed both my friend and the birds very much!
Finding myself watching the wierdest TV shows
Deadiest Catch was my first crazy addiction - who would have thunk? Now Ace of Cakes. Anybody else have some weird ones?
I think you'll have a hard time finding someone who will (sm)
come for one hour every day. As wonderful as that would be!! I think they could do that in an hour. But finding someone will be tough. Most housekeepers around here make $75 to clean a house and that takes them 2 or 3 hours. They make more than we do sometimes!!
Incidental finding of a cat colony, what this means now.
I had an early morning appointment today and as I started off saw first 1 cat and living really close by decided to come home, get some food and go back to feed it. When I returned 2 more of its friends close by and so I fed them the 3 cans that I had. I hated to see this because of my love for animals which means now I have to go buy them food (in addition to my 3 indoor ones) and go to feed them most days. I am sure they are feral but just breaks my heart to see them having to fend for themselves.
F11 didnt work and I am finding nothing under View on my toolbar. sm
Thanks for your suggestions. Does anyone know how to make that darn paragraph symbol go away? I have those and a bunch of arrows all over my document!
any Dancing with Stars fans finding this bunch -
difficult to get into or is it just me?
and try finding time to workout between children and work...
I wish I had the energy of my 8 year old....
Incidental finding, polycystic kidney disease
Not something that I would have liked to hear but being as older, told the doctor maybe can outlive the cysts, i.e. having to be on dialysis and/or dying because of them. I had an MRI of another region and those picked up, told someone in my family had to have and know of no one. The cysts I have can go anywhere in your body so they will watch them every few months, no abnormal lab tests or the like, found those about 2 years ago. The kidney cysts are the only ones I know of.
My college-age kids love finding stuff at the Goodwill Thrift Store. Go figure! They like their
