My Ol' Man

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

Is it just me or is referring to the love of your life as "my ol' man" or "my ol' lady" the most absurd thing?

Is it a regional geographical thing?

Growing up, my grandparents called each other 'Sam' and 'Sal'. It was very endearing. I was at least 10 before I realized those aren't even their names. Not sure what that was all about. I usually call Handy Man "Babe". Ocassionally, I call him an explicative, but only when he's very, very naughty.

Anyway, the point of all this is that Handy Man, the love of my life, got an invitation to his 20-year high school reunion. And I looked at him as if I've never seen him in my life and gasped, "Twenty years?! Dude! You are OLD!"

I remember my mom talking about her high school reunion. I was in high school, and I remember thinking that I can't imagine being out of high school for 20 whole, long years. It didn't seem that long ago.

And yet, my ol' man, proud class of 1989, has his 20th Reunion in April 2009. (They are organized! I mean... right? Holy cow!).

So, what I want to know, dear reader...
1. Do you go to your reunions? Why or why not?
2. Be brave. Fess up. What # was your last reunion?
3. What do you call the love of your life?

  1. No, I didn't go to my 10th. I keep up with anyone I care about!

    16 years for me, since graduation.

    And I just call my DH by his name mostly. If I am upset I use his first and last. To be funny I call him "Reverend Tech Sargent" (because of his 2 jobs and then to be naughty I call him the reverse of his famous nickname at work..."Action-our last name"...I call him, "No-Action our last name"....hee hee. I am bad aren't I!

  2. I didn't go to my reunion because I was overseas. I graduated in 1992 and I call my husband "babe."

    this post is making me feel old

  3. At both my 5 and 10 year..I was having a baby and ready to pop so I didn't go! But, I would go to my next one!

    That is sad but I don't have a special name..just "Chris"!How boring is that!

  4. I went to my 10 and am most definitely planning to attend my 20th in the summer of 2010. I had a great high school experience (at least socially if not academically - that part was lame-O) and I am still in touch with several friends from hs, even more so now that I got on facebook! I only stayed in touch with a few friends from college since my hs group was such a close-knit one.

  5. Oh forgot to say what I call my sweetie. Before kids it was usually "Babe". Kind of dorky when you write it out but it's been my nickname for him since we got married. After kids it's usually, "Daddy". Not so romantic, huh? :)

  6. Oh, my I'm going to age myself...It has been 23 years since I graduated from High school. But, I haven't been since our 5th year reunion, though I wish I could've gone. I don't think my class is very organized, because from what I heard the 20th was thrown together at the last minute. I"m one of those "lost" classmates because we've moved around so much -- but I found a bunch of classmates on Facebook, so I've been 'found' again! I call my husband "honey," maybe "love" when the kids aren't around (so rare), but mostly by his name and "daddy."

  7. I do not go to high school reunions. I hated high school. Going to the P@blix when I visit my parents i enough of a high school reunion for me. I graduated in 1991; what would that be?

    We call each other "Honey." Dd7 went through a phase when she was tiny of calling us "Honey" because she heard us doing it all the time!

  8. Class of '95 - didn't go to my reunion. Not sure why - I guess I wasn't up for all the ribbing about the # of kiddos I have, homeschooling, ect., etc. . .

    He goes by the name Sweetheart - I never call him by his name to his face - only when talking about him to other people. I did call him a "gerk" one time . . . but, that's a different story!

  9. I would go to my reunion, but that's still five years from now. >_<

    No reunion yet -- I graduated in 2003. Eek!

    Um, I call him "Daddy", pretty much. Or "Hubs". Yup. I lurve him vury much.
    ReplyDelete
  10. Wow! My husband and I both graduated in '91 so ours is just around the corner, too... yikes! We ARE getting old!! Anyhoo-- I haven't been to any of my reunions-- at the time, I was either pregnant or nursing a very wee one; neither made for a good traveling experience. And I don't regret it either. I'm not really in touch w/ anyone from h.s., so no worries here.

    As for what I call the love of my life: I call him Hubby-e-poo (though I substitute his real name for the hubby part!)... but not in the syrupy-sweet way you might think. It's more of a goofy, silly, mocking the syrupy-sweet folks b/c we are NOT the lovey-dovey types. It's all in good fun and it makes us laugh every time :o) He calls me 'boo.'

  11. My 10 year is coming up next year & I have absolutely no desire to go. I'm curious about where "some" have gone in life, but Myspace & Facebook seem to satifsy that nosiness.

    I call my hubby Baby, Honey, or Sugar Lips. Yeah. Don't laugh.

  12. Gosh, so far, I'm the "ol' lady" here in your comments. Graduated hs in '85. Haven't been to a single reunion and probably won't go. Y'know, I just don't have fond memories of my school years. College ... well now, THAT was fun. I've popped in for a couple of those reunions, but they're pretty low-key (classes of '79, '84, '89, '94 etc. all get together) and centered around homehoming festivities each year.

    LofML = "honey" (not terribly original, tho when we're feeling a little punchy we call each other "Babe" using the same cadence as The Two A-Holes on Saturday Night Live ;-)

  13. I think the "ole man, ole woman" references are TERRIBLE!!! I normally call my dh sweetie, or babe, or use the occasional "HEY!"

    Now to answer your questions...
    1. I didn't go to my 10 year because we were in the middle of moving from Ohio to DC. To be completely honest I'm the ONLY one of my classmates to have left town, and they put ME in charge of the reunion, so we ended up not having one! :) Maybe I'll do a 20 year lol.

    2. My 10 year reunion should have been in May of 2007.

    3. See above :)

    This was a cute post!! BTW I'm stopping by from BATW and just wanted thank you for all you do on the site!!! XOXO

  14. I graduated in 1972 and because my husband was in the Air Force, we didn't live in our home state for 20 years - until he retired. So, I don't know if our graduating class had reunions. Sometimes I think it would be nice to attend one, but we have not kept in touch with anyone from high school. Seems kinda sad.

    I call the love of my life - Hon.

    I really enjoy your blog!

  15. I went to my 10 year reunion 6 months pregnant, and no one recognized me. I won the award for having the most change since high school (I had long hair in HS and short at reunion). I enjoy going and seeing how we change. So I plan on going to my 20 year too in 6 years.

    The only loves in my life right now are my beautiful 3 boys, I usually call them by their names, but sometimes sweetheart, sweetie or baby-he's 3.
    Hugs from Georgia, Amy ;)

  16. I live in Louisiana and EVERYONE says "My ol man" or "My ol lady". It was weird at first, because I am from NY, but I have gotten used to it.

    As far as reunions go... I'm only 20. We haven't had a reunion YET.
    ReplyDelete
  17. I went to my 10 year last year...actually helped plan it.
    Probably won't go to the next one though.
    I just call my husband "Bart".
    ReplyDelete
  18. Thanks a lot, Darcy. I was having a pretty good morning until I found out I'm OLD (Class of '89). : )

    I haven't been to a reunion yet -- I was living too far away for the 5th, and the 10th was scheduled the same week I was due to give birth. I haven't heard any plans for the 20th yet. And I call hubby Honey or Daddy.

  19. I was thinking I was going to be the "baby" on here, but it doesn't look like it . . .

    I will have my first 10 year reunion in 2010. -- probably won't go.
    My husband NEVER goes to his (he is an "ol' man").

    My Man: I call him "honey" or "big daddy" around the house & "love of my life" on my cell.

    This is so funny that you brought this up b/c we were just talking about this last week. I realized I have all these sweet names for him, but he calls me "Tiff" or "Your Mom" -- lovely.

    Have a good day Darcy!
    ReplyDelete
  20. LOL
    This was a good one! I too can remember my parents going off to their class reunions when I was younger and thinking...they're old.

    Class of '92 here. I had to miss our 10 year because we had just had a BIG move and there was no way I felt like driving 12 hours that weekend!

    And depending on the day (& my mood), my hubby is "babe" or "honey" or "love". *giggle* Sounds cheesy as I write it down.

    BTW...THANKS for all you do for BATW. It's such a great place because of you & Debbie!

  21. I went to my 5 year and my 10 year. I would have gone to my 15 year but they didn't have one.

    I call my husband hon.

  22. My husband's reunion is also next spring-He was from a HUGE school...I will know no one, and don't really want to go...but I will for him...Mine is the following year...Not sure if I want to go or not. I am talking to the people I want to on facebook...we'll see...
    (My pet peeve is people who call their spouse "Mama, or Papa...eww!)

  23. Ü* This is funny...

    My graduating year was 1989... I have never ever been to a reunion. I honestly have no desire to go. Although I would like to see where folks are at and what they are doing.... I just have no desire I guess... It comes around and I never go...

    I call my husband Dan, hun and number 2. *Ü* No not that number 2!! God is number 1... Dan is number 2.

  24. I have zero interest in my reunions. I recently put my graduating class in on Facebook and then panicked and took it out when people started contacting me. I am such a different person now and that world seems so far away. DH (aka "Daddy" or when across the room "hey hon" pronounced HUN) and I are High School sweethearts so I get the best part of a reunion every day :) I graduated in 1991 so 20 would be coming up in 2011.

  25. what I want to know, dear reader...

    1. I haven't been to any so far. We didn't have a 20th, but we are planning on having a 21st. Stupid. One fun thing... I TOO put my information on facebook... and have become friends with old school mates. I moved away so don't know a lot of them personally. The most fun is the one who is now who is home schooling their kids and love the Lord as we do. I'm looking forward to chatting with his wife at the reunion. I think we WILL go this summer.

    2. #21 summer of 2009

    3. Dan. Sometimes babe... but mostly Dan. Or when talking to the kiddos -- daddy. I'm so not romantic. What's my problem?
    ReplyDelete
  26. Graduated in 1975 so my 30th was in 2005. I think I've got you all beat! Not an iota of interest in attending a single one. Those years were the worst of my life!

    I call my hubby "SugarMan" or "Beast" depending on the situation, lol.
    ReplyDelete
  27. No reunion ever tempted me except my tenth, which seemed grown-up and yet not oh-my-God-how-old-are-we shocking. If there was a 25th reunion this year, I didn't hear about it and wouldn't have gone. I have kept up with the handful of people who are important to me. Otherwise, and only in the early reunion years, the people I would have wanted to see again would have been the teachers, and who knows which reunions they choose to attend? If any.

    As for what I call hubby, usually it's "my dear." He calls me "Hon," which I kind of don't like but I don't want to hurt his feelings about it. I always thought "Baby" would have been much more sexy. Can a guy be retrained in the unthinking endearment department?
    ReplyDelete
  28. This summer was my 25th!! There was no reunion, however. I did attend my 10th and my 20th with 'my hilarious twin' and our hubbies. HS was actually pretty great for me but I am only in touch with a very few people today. I went to the University an hour away from where I grew up and several HS friends were there as well. One of them teaches piano to my kids!

    Hubby? Pretty uncreative here. I usually call him by his name. I do sometimes preface it with 'hey', however.

  29. Old? Who are you calling old?

    I went to my 20th reunion in August. And I went to the 10 year. They were both a lot of fun. But a lot of money. We went to my husband's 20th reunion last month. It was really boring. Even for him.

    I call the love of my life tech support :-)

  30. Hi! Thank you for all you do for BATW!

    I, like Cindy above, graduated in 1972!!! I went to my 10th reunion. It was okay. Actually, kind of strange. I think I've only heard of two more and I sadly couldn't go. I went to school with the same kids for 13 years! So, you would think I'd still be friends with some of them, wouldn't you? Oh, well. I really did enjoy school. I did go to my husband's 30th. That was actually quite fun.

    I call the love of my life "Hon", "Babe", and probably whatever other endearment comes out.
    ReplyDelete
  31. I havent hit high school reunion quite yet. Im still a baby, as I am told all the time. I do call my husband the usual honey, babe, baby, and sometimes when necessary I myself throw out a few expletives or two! But he did turn 30 a couple of weeks ago and I was teasing him about his age. Needless to say he didn't think it was funny!!

    This is my first time to your blog and it is so cute! I am adding you to the reader!!
    ReplyDelete
  32. First, I want to thank you and Debbie for BATW. I love it, even more than SIST's (don't tell).

    Second, I loved the build a bear outfit on your son. That is so funny.....

    Third, answers to your post.
    1) I do not go to my reunions. They are so overpriced to begin with and everyone gets drunk anyway and I hated those people then and I do not think that time would improve that.
    2) I hit the 20 year mark 2 years ago - yes I am older than dirt.
    3) on my blog he is "The Man" in life he is "Honey" and when I am being silly he is "Sugarlumpkins". When I say that I can see his eyes rolling and I love that.

  33. My last reunion was a year ago, for the 15th, but I've never been to one. I don't really care about the high school people.

    And Babe or "Foofie". hahahahahaha
    ReplyDelete
  34. I skipped my 10 year reunion for a few reasons... first of all I didn't plan on going anyway because they were charging 99.00 per person! Not per couple, per PERSON! Second, by the time the reunion actually rolled around my husband had left me and I was in no shape to mingle with all those high school sweethearts and happy people. Turns out I wasn't the only one that thought it was too expensive... no one RSVP'd so they just took it upon themselves to meet at a BAR instead LOL - Maybe I should have gone after all!

    2009 will be 13 years out of High School for me

    I call my sweety babe or sweetheart to him... I refer to him to others as "the man" or just plain Aaron ;)

    Fun post!
    ReplyDelete
  35. LOVED my high school reunion (big #10 :)).

    I call Scott "Honey" - if he hears "Scott" he *knows* he's in trouble or I'm mad about something. As a funny - Sullivan's teacher told her about a conversation during a "screening" when she asked, "What's Mommy's name?"... he replied, "Mommy," and she said, "Well YOU and your brothers call her Mommy, but what does Daddy call her?" "Honey." :) So cute - at least he didn't say "Buns" or something equally embarrassing. :)

  36. I have never gone to one (moved away and never went back)just cause life takes different courses. I would love to at least visit my 5 dear friends and catch up! that would be loads of fun!
    I call my husband (of 15 years this month) "love of my life, only one for me"!
    ReplyDelete
  37. No reunions for me! HS was not a time of endearing friendships. I keep up with the few people that are actually good friends but the rest - I just don't think it matters what jobs thay have or how many kids. And I don't care who's fatter than me either! ;-)

    Now...I might consider a college reunion. Those were people that I lived and bonded with through hours of sufferable studying and projects and with whom I may have something more in common.

    But either way, I still can't believe it has been so long since highschool. Sheesh! THanks for the age reminder....

  38. 1. Do you go to your reunions? Why or why not?

    No. Too far away and I had let myself go. Now I look great (weight watchers, people, not because I'm that vain!LOL)Now, it's still too far away.

    2. Be brave. Fess up. What # was your last reunion?

    23rd! (ACK!!)

    3. What do you call the love of your life?

    Sweet-Love, Daddy-Man, Hon, DH (on the blog) and others too personal to share here! (blush)

  39. Just passed my 10th - didn't go. Had no desire to go.

    My old man (heehee) had his 10th a couple of years ago. We didn't go to his either.

    High school wasn't exactly our thing. Even at the time I thought all those people calling HS the "best time of your life" were kind of crazy.

    And we call each other by our first names. We're so boring. :)

  40. I've been out of high school 25 years. I only went to my 5th reunion. I don't think there's been one since. But I did go to a college reunion this summer. It was fun. I couldn't believe all the old, overweight, graying and balding people that were there...Who were those people ????
    I call my hubby Buster. It's my term of endearment.
    ReplyDelete
  41. Nope I have been to my 10 year High School reunion. But we went to Hubby's 10 year. Really it was a waste of time and I doubt that we will go to any more! LOL

    I call my Hubby, Honey, or Sweetie. When I call him by his first and last name, even my boys know that he is in TROUBLE!! He doesn't even respond unless I call him Honey anyway =)
    ReplyDelete
  42. I was pregnant at my 10th reunion, so I didn't mind going because I had an excuse to be fat. For my 20th, there was no excuse, but my husband made me go. That was three years ago.
    I call my DH "Big Joel" because that's what our youngest daughter called him when she was a baby. Not Dada or Daddy, but BigJoel. I don't know why.

  43. My high school is so small the only reunions we have are arranged via facebook! LOL I haev lots of nicknames for my sweetie. :)

    Thanks for visiting on my BAtW day!

  44. I haven't been to any. Four years ago was my tenth I was very pregnant and it was on a ship, not to mention over a thousand miles away.
    My hubby and I call each other SweetPea and HunnyBunny interchangeably. I find my self calling him "Beautiful" more and more often though.
    ReplyDelete
  45. I have yet to go to a reunion and I am so sad. I would love to connect with old friends, plus...after five kids, I am 30 pounds less than I was when I graduated, so that doesn't hurt either...hee hee
    We will go to my hubby's 25 this summer, but he robbed the cradle. I just missed my 20th last year.
    ReplyDelete
  46. Went to #10 and #20--missed #5 and #25. I hate going. HATE! But love it when I get home, because I was a late bloomer, and some of them, well let's just say their blossoms have faded a bit. And SOME, thank God, have realized that what they thought was so important really isn't.

    I call him Buddy or Sweet Man. :-)

  47. Visiting you via BATW!

    I attended my 10th reunion 6 years ago and had a blast! I graduated from a HS that I only went to JR/SR years, so I went to the reunion of the school I went to K-10 and it was great to catch up with old friends. I look forward to my 20th in just a few years.

    I call the love of my life...Bad, Bad Mexican (this is my niece...I'm not married yet...and yes she is Mexican)!
    ReplyDelete
  48. I was so disconnected in HS that I've never even been notified of said reunion, LOL!

    I call my hubby by his name, but my grandmother always called my grandfather "george" which isn't even close to his name and she also called him "parker" which was their last name. But george was definitely his sweet pet name! He's so cute. He will be 97 in March.

  49. We JUST went to 'my ole man's' 20th too! And I was surprised that they were so organized as well.

    I really don't plan to go to mine tho? oh well? my last reunion? 15 I guess. I missed it.

    I say Sweetie. All the time. Not very manly is it. I love your grandparent story. My grandma was always called Pat. But her name was Neomia? Childhood nickname, but I too didn't know her real name till I was older!

  50. You had to go there didn't you...You just had to do it...First I just want to tell you the 20 year old shampoo girl couldn't believe how old I was when I told her I just turned 45. She was genuinely shocked and said "Wow you look so young." Yeah, I gave her a big ole smooch.

    So I went to my 10th, paid alot of money to see how nothing had changed and ended up with food poisoning. I missed my 20th because my husband's brother was getting married. I went to my 25th two years ago...which was okay...it was small...and let's just say, that some people NEVER change and still think they are 18. I have to say for the most part, the women aged much better than the men. Fo real!

    oh and it's POOKIE.
    ReplyDelete
  51. No, I didn't go to my reunion. I'm not even SURE there WAS a reunion! We're not nearly that organized. This year, it would have been 15! ACK! Yesterday, at the dr.'s office, I had to literally subtract my birth year from the current year to remember how old I am. :P It took awhile... ;D

    I call my dh, "babe" or "Ronnie", or RONALD DALE QUINATA! Depending on my mood.
    ReplyDelete
  52. Haven't gone to any of mine. Last year was 20th for me. Almost went but put off signing up and missed it. Not many people I was friends with showed up anyway. I don't think I missed much!

    I usually call my hubby "dear", sometimes "babe". We hardly ever call each other by our first names, it actually feels weird when we do.

    Thanks for all you do with BATW!

  53. Thanks for visiting my blog-sorry it took me so long to say "hi". I just missed my 20th high school reunion. I went to my 5th, but that was it. I would have gone to my 20th, but my hubby didn't want to go.I had a horrible school experience.
    I call my hubby "Honey"

  54. I'm *not* embarrassed to tell you that last year was my 20th reunion. I didn't go...I live across the country now. I'm not embarrassed because I was 5 when I graduated HS. :)

    I call my honey, "honey", a lot of the time and I use his name the rest of the time. He, because he is fabulous and funny, has occasionally referred to me as his "ex girlfriend". Kinda funny? No? Most of the time he calls me *Sweetie* :)

  56. Never been to one yet and don't plan to. I was super social in high school but I've never had a desire to revisit that part of my life. It's weird how poeple can be SO close and then just go separate ways, never to meet again. My 15 year reunion is next year. Ouch!

    As for my man's pet name...his name is Kimball and I usually call him Bimble or hon.
    ReplyDelete
  57. My last reunion would have been my 16th. But I don't go... too far away and the people I'd want to see wouldn't go either.

    I call the hubbie "sweetheart" usually. If I'm mad at him, it's usually something in the 4 letter word catagory.

  58. Great blog. Found it via BATW.

    My husband is having a hard time dealing with the fact that his 20 year reunion is next year. He plans on going so I guess that means I am going. I didn't go to my 10 year reunion in 2005.

    We have all kinds of nicknames for each other, good ones and bad ones.

  59. 1. Do you go to your reunions? Why or why not?
    Yep. I'm not sure why I go. I do enjoy connecting with those I didn't get the chance to know (probably because I was too busy skipping classes)

    2. Be brave. Fess up. What # was your last reunion?

    10 yr.

    3. What do you call the love of your life?

    "cowboy"

    or when I'm frustrated and flustered...one of my son's names (sometimes even the dog's...nice)

  60. 1. No. I was with a lot of those people from 1st grade on. Enough was enough. I left town, going to a college where no one else went. Life went on from there and is now a beautiful thing. Sometimes, the past needs to just stay in the past.

    2. #20 is coming up on November over T-G weekend. The U-Family is staying in Chicago.

    3. TOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM! BRING DOWN A BLANKET FOR (U-KID 2)!

    well, you get the idea. the kids call him "daddyman" =-)

  61. O.k., now your calling me "old". I don't feel old nor do I consider myself old. I graduated in 89 as well. A good year, if you ask me. Actually I graduated a semester early--I was ready to get out of there and no I don't go back--at least to class reunions. I do see my family though, but not that often anymore. I think if people were really interested in each others lives, they would stay in touch anyway and wouldn't need a "reunion".

    I usually call my hubby, "honey".

  62. I have not yet gone to a high school reunion...and my brother and I made up 2/7 of the class...yeah, there's a HUGE chunk of THAT class missing every reunion!!

    College is a whole 'nother story...I've gone to as many of those as has been humanly possible...when I wasn't more than a day's drive away or recovering with a newborn...

    Maybe I'll have to go to my 25th high school reunion...it's coming up...SCARY!!

  63. I have yet to go to any big class reunions but I'm planning on going this summer. As strange as it sounds I was closer to the class of '89 than I was to my class of
    '92 and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone this spring. It will be the first time I've been back since '94 when my sister graduated.

    I call the love of my life Honey.

  64. Oh my, this upcoming June will be year 24 since high school.

    I have never gone to a reunion. I've thought about going to a reunion and then I pull out a yearbook and after two minutes of that I remember why I don't actually go. Scrolled around a little on classmates.com and realized many people are still talking and living like they were back then.

    I am as opposite as I could possibly be from the person I was then. Seems like a different person's life.
    Plus, it would require flying several hours, etc... it's never seemed worth the effort.

    Names for "the man"
    The usual:babe, sweetie, "Dad"

    The Unusual: los (long story), The Captain (his blog identity) and fancy pants if I'm feeling ornery.

  66. I went to my tenth reunion. It was fun! Hubby and I graduated from the same high school, the same year, so that makes it easy.

    I'm class of 1995.

    I call my man by his name, or sweetie.

    I hate it when people refer to their spouse as old man or old lady. That's just awful!

  67. 1. Nope - haven't attended any. I would've gone to my 10 year, had I lived in the same town. But I already had two trips back to Colorado that year and could not afford a third.

    2. The last one? 20 years. And I did live in the same town. But I wasn't interested. Anyone who mattered to me, I still had contact with. Think 20 sounds scary? Another year and a half and it'll be the 30th! HOLY COW! Your hubby's not old.

    3. I call him "Honey" or "Hon" most of the time. Otherwise usually his name.

  68. I'm commenter #68? Will you even read this answer? boo hoo

    1. No. It hasn't been long enough for me to forget! Actually, I'm most interested in the people that I wasn't very close to back in the day. And I don't know, I just don't feel like messing with the hassle of it all?

    2. 15 years. Class of 1993! Man, I'm getting OLD.

    3. I usually call him Babe. If he's in big trouble, it's DAAAAAVVVVIIIIID!!!

  69. I'm class of '89 too! I didn't go to my 10 year because it was all the way across the country and I had just had my oldest son. I didn't want to walk around explaining "I just had a baby" the whole time and I'm not flying with a 6 week old. Our 20th is supposed to be this summer and if it's planned I'd love to go and take the family!

    I usually call my husband honey or babe, but old man would be a good one too!

  70. I went to my 10 year reunion and it was fabulous! We are making plans now for our 20 year reunion in 2011! I expect that it will be even better. My classmates are keeping in touch on Facebook. I love the virtual world!!

  71. I have Nooooo interest in going to my reunions! None at all! Maybe that'll change when they do the next one, but I doubt it!

    And yes, what is with the "old lady" thing? When we lived in Louisiana, people would ask my husband a question, like "What does your old lady say about that?". At the time, I was 18... not even close to being old! :) I always put up a fight when someone says that. Why is it "my old lady" means wife and "my old man" means dad?
