We shared the chair and got to talking. turns out we went to the same highschool in Maine. she was a year older, and while I was a student counsel/athlete BMOC, she was a math club geek (think Eva Silversteen except really hot, a lot hotter). We ended up naked together in the hottub before the trip was over. So, you never know, know what I mean?
i don't think you recognize how dedicated coltrane is to his running, he wouldn't be interested.

No you won't.

You'll be saving for college, paying higher insurance premiums, buying whole wardrobes of which the kid will pick exactly three items to wear, period, and you'll be shelling out for gas, movies, video games, computers, microwave popcorn, and, eventually, refinishing the basement when one of them moves back home at the age of 34.

Then, you will die.

So ignore their friend requests. That's what I do.

Holy crap. Less took out ads.

Hint to Coltrane: make it so you don't get e-mails from facebook. Makes for a happier time on there. And ignore mercilessly.

But that actually sounds more doable than a marathon there. Do they prepare some cleared route?
It's the Antarctica marathon, not the South Pole marathon. They run on one of the peninsulas that comes farther north. No trees and not terribly much snow, though I think you have to dodge the penguins.

The year my fil and his partner ran it, they weren't able to land on the designated race day because of bad weather (though they explored on another day), so they had to run on the ship. Hundreds and hundreds of laps, changing direction at intervals. Oy.

And have a gold membership at classmates.com.

do geldings ever race? if they do, and they turn out to be way faster than people thought they'd be, I bet their owners are pissed they lost all the stud money.

and if that did happen, someone should tell the marathon lady how bad things can be if people think you aren't as fast as you are. she might feel better.

I go with the ignore ignore. I don't want them to get a message that says, "Slothrop ignored you," since they might be working in a post office somewhere and see that as the last straw. I figure that if I can barely remember who they are, they aren't sitting around waiting to see if their request will be accepted.

I have befriended one guy from high school who seems to be involved with a high-tech start-up with some on-line game aimed at college students, or possibly an even younger crowd. The updates from him are a steady stream of unintelligible stuff related to this start-up. I would defriend him now if I knew how (and could be assured that he wouldn't go postal).

Yes, and presumably they know that before gelding and figured they weren't going to win races otherwise, so figured prize money is better than nothing.

Though I won't swear to this, I doubt geldings race -- definitely not the horses that run elite (ha) races. If a stallion is fast enough to make a living off racing, no one is going to mess with his package.

Are there people out there who still friend other people just to increase their number of friends? That seems like it (a) should be over by now, or (b) shouldn't happen with old people like us.

no. it wasn't until my daughter tried to read my son's profile that she learned he had defriended her, apparently a major social slap in this year of our lord 2008.

Honest question, and I think I know the answer: do a lot of people still dwell on HS? It rarely even crosses my mind. It seems like another world that really wasn't all that great (and I was fairly popular). Now, college is a different story. I can relate to it and remember it well (and fondly), and I was probably less popular in college (if one can be "popular" in the college setting) than in HS.

I have the feeling someone on facebook is going to remind me of how much of a dick I was to him/her in HS, and I'm not going to remember who that person was/is.

For the record, I was a dick.

Geldings do race. If the horse has a bloodline, it won't be gelded, but if it's not a horse with a proven bloodline, unless it looks like it will be the next Seattle Slew, the potential stud fees won't be as big as the purses the unknown might win.

My horse's sire is still a stallion, and still firing up the stones for a fee. My horse, though (sadly, for him, I guess) is a gelding. Neither is a racer, however.

I have a few friends on facebook from high school, but I went to a pretty small school (just over 100 in my graduating class). I'm glad to have caught up with them and to know what's going on in their lives. But I am engaged to marry the guy who took me to my senior prom, so maybe my perspective is all fucked up.

A friend recently noted that within minutes of signing up for facebook, she was immediately barraged with messages from a chick she went to grammar school with. My friend loathed this chick and everyone else who went to that school. Chick, apparently thinking that time heals wounds, banters on about everyone else who went to the school and gives updates. An excerpt from my friend's post on the subject:
Quote:
And the best part? The BEST part? The kid who was the biggest asshole in the group and made my life hell? DIED.

DIED.

I am such a horrible person, but my first thought was actually, "Take THAT Joey!" Yes, he died young, very sad, very tragic.

But he was an asshole and made me cry almost every day for three years. So, seriously. Joey? I win.
Some people do hold on to shit.
