But I noticed an interesting thing- once you've made contact and caught up on bio's, there's really no purpose to communicate anymore. The curiosity is satisfied, so everyone just kind of goes away. The memories that were shared in the past are just that - past memories. Other than that there is nothing in common. Kind of sad actually.

Weird note- Dan Fogelberg's "auld ang syne (sp)" is playing on the radio right. Too much

Interestingly, I have not had this experience at all. I have been exchanging lengthy e-mails with some very old friends and making plans to get together. Now, whether or not this will actually HAPPEN is another story, I know. I was just found by an old middle school friend today- she is an Ob/Gyn who is married to a neurosurgeon- whoa!

I ignore every single pillow fight, snowball thrown, smile sent, etc. It's too hard to keep up.

I don't even really communicate with any of the "friends" I have on there except occasionally the people who are really friends in real life. I only really use facebook to post in groups etc. (oh yeah and to stalk people )

HAHA...
That's always fun...lol...especially adding people you never talk to just to see what's going on....

Me too, I get tons of those things. Oy, who could ever keep up?
But it is fun to reconnect with some old friends, though I have to say there were some startling reconnections when I first signed on, and indeed, after the curiosity is abated it sort of slips away. Other reconnections seem to be lasting. So, it's a mixed bag.

Yes, exactly. I lived in one area of New York until 8th grade, then moved to another area for JR/SR high school. So, not only am I reconnecting with HS people, but elementary school people as well. SO weird. To see the faces, in some cases 30 years later, is startling.

How's this for a Ledgie group?

I am the admin (doing a poor job) of 'The Class of '88 Winged, Layered and Feathered-Back Hair Club'

Just thought I'd bump this thread for those who came in late...

Yes we do have a Ledge group on Facebook that was created by Moz:

Not much happens there but hey it provides us with a central point on Facebook for the Ledgies.

I know that a lot of us have added each other, but for the newbies, you'll find a lot of the Ledgies are also on facebook - damn addictive waste of time

I've added a lot of you, but anyone wanting to add me then this is me:

It's possible to block all of this stuff, but then you just come off as a too-cool-for-school sourpuss.

Agreed. I'm on FB but Twitter is 1000 times better.
