My first love was Patti Jo [last name left blank for privacy]. I was madly in love with her when I was in the 8-9 grade. Had not seen her in over 45 years.
Saw her picture on the high school reunion website. Ruined all those wonderful memories, she is just a frumpy old somewaht over-weight mother and doesn't look any better than my wife.

Happy Mother's Day, but guys, don't look up old girlfriends, it will ruin those dreams.

Damn, Jim. I hope your wife doesn't read this comment for your sake.

She's not into blogs, besides she knows I'm unfeeling and blunt. Thanks for the concern.

I really wonder what Betsey Reynolds, who was one year behind me, looks like today. Likewise Mary Witte. I had crushes on both of them but was too shy to do anything about it.

Women are just like us old farts, we all went to pot also, Cat

This is probably meaningless, being that it's only been eight years, but the few occasions that I've seen people I was in high school with have been great. I've gotten better and better looking, and they've gotten worse! So many girls are truly at their peak in HS and I've been more of a late bloomer, I guess you could say. Also, just about all of the guys have gotten rather fat. Karma!

There was a girl in my class in high school. One smart SOB senior spotted her when she was in 9th grade and attached himself to her so firmly that they're still together.
I saw a picture of her a couple of years ago and oh my aching heart - she is still dead flat gorgeous.
That's life I guess. She did say she would have gone to the prom with me if she weren't with her guy.

Straighten up and fly right, people. It's MOTHER'S DAY, not "ex-wive's Day".

The exes are ex for a good reason. You can't go home again.

Pine for your mother if she's dead, or go over and give her a hug if she isn't. She probably warned you about that ex before you married her anyway, and it turned out that she was right.

They often do get better and better, to a point. Then when in your 50s it all comes crashing down, for the most part. Some exceptions, but precious few.

A special thought to all the mothers whose loved ones are in the military and deployed all around the far corners of the world.

They might not be able to give you the hugs you deserve, but the thoughts, prayers and love are with you.

"They also serve, who tend the fires"

Jaybird- boobs? I wasn't talking about them. I meant overall physical appearance.

...gonna take a sentimental journey...la la la

Age, my dears, doesn't discriminate.

Dittos Vicki. I look like I've been rode hard (which I have) and put away wet but my ex looks like she was under the horse.

I am recently separated 1 year now and I cannot wait until I can say the same about my ex. However, she did get a new pair recently that seems to get me all hot and bothered when she’s around. Sheesh! I cant win for losein’! 21 years of marriage and I do not get to play with the fruits of my labor.

Mr. Man, please take a word of advice. I'd rather play with the natural ones if they're hanging to her waist than play with the stuffed ones. The false ones actually are bought to make herself look better to others, not you. I've been down that road before. Doing that to a catch another's eye is just that. Something like fly paper.

People talking about old classmates etc. Reminds me of an old couple on their 50th wedding anniversary where the old man hid in the batroom and refused to come out saying,"It's too big, it's too big!"

However, she did get a new pair recently that seems to get me all hot and bothered when she’s around.

Mr. Man...trust me, women who get 'new ones' when they're 40ish usually need to have a brain job along with the boob job!

Boob Job. I thought you said bl......job! Sorry Vicki.

That was a nice thing that Pedro said back in the comments about deployed kids and such. That was thoughtful. I got an e-mail a few weeks ago wishing me a Happy Mom and Birfday in advance. It was the first time that I sat and cried over one of his e-mails (Usually it's due to his rotten spelling :)

Nonetheless, I still want to do her faux boobs and all. Great comments! I am still laughing!
