 In July of 2008, I plan to host a reunion for all of my friends from school. They saw me through the darkest years of my life, and I want to throw one last party in their honor. I'd like to have it somewhere really nice, perhaps with fine dining. I've promised them all an evening to remember. It's going to be held in upstate New York, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where I might have the reunion. ...

 Ok, SO I was with a guy for 3 1/2 months last summer--we had a bad break up... He moved away and we haven't talked since September... He called up about a week ago wanting to talk and get together... Since we had such a bad ending, i don't know if it'd be right and I don't know if I'm going to be comfortable being around him- it was wierd on the phone so in person seems worse... HELP ASAP I guess I'm asking is there a way to feel more comfortable and at ease... anybody been through this...? ...

 I?m in a rather distressing predicament. I just found out that my family reunion is scheduled for the same day as a Dave Matthews concert that I?m planning to attend. My friend invited me to the concert back in early May and I already gave her the money to my ticket. But I never told my parents about it (I?m 17, a month short of 18 when the concert and reunion are), thinking that because nothing was said of the family reunion at the time that nothing would happen. The reunion is always scheduled for the first Saturday in August. Now I don?t know what to do. I don?t want to disappoint my parents and tell them I don?t want to go to the reunion but at the same time I don?t want to disappoint my friend and put her in the lurch of having the extra ticket. But I don?t want to disappoint my parents either, especially telling them so soon before the reunion after having known about the concert for months. But having made the commitment to my friend already and the fact that the reunion is an annual event, I feel that I owe the loyalty to my friend and I have also been looking forward to the concert for months. So how should I go about telling my parents? So far I?m planning to spend this weekend with them for the most part and then spend next weekend with them when my grandparents, basically the only family I talk to at the reunion anyway, visit. ...

 I love family reunions as long as they are happening to someone else's family. To me, the fact that my aunts and cousins and sisters have all chosen to live as far away from one another as possible is not a coincidence, but a warning. Others in my family don't agree, and speak of our last reunion with such fondness that I am pretty sure they must have left before Uncle Lou grabbed the microphone and gave us his penetrating analysis of the state of the American political system, made all the more interesting because of Uncle Lou's a) lifetime service as a notary public, and b) bourbon. I've been monitoring my e-mails lately, tracking the plans to have a "Cameron Family Blow-Out!!!!!", as the subject line reads--I assume the extra exclamation points are there to incite enthusiasm. In case you are thinking of having a reunion of your own, here are the steps you apparently need to follow: First, set a date when everyone is available!!!!! You'll have to deal with cousin Dean, who reminds us that he is very busy and important and may have a big business deal overseas, or on the space shuttle. Like Dean is such a big shot, sneers cousin John, all he does is sell insurance. John, writes Cousin Tina, you shouldn't hit "reply all" when sending a message like that. John, you are my cousin and I love you, replies Dean, but you have always been a big fat idiot, what I do for a living is... (seven paragraphs of information about financial bonds follow, each one as interesting as a report from the Senate Subcommittee on Cement). John's response is to send a photograph of a large man bending over in unfortunately loose pants, the caption reading "Cousin Dean." Next, pick a location!!!!! Uncle Lou says Boise would be perfect because it is "close to everything." Everything, Dean repeats, meaning what, corn? Cousin John sends a list of countries in which to have the reunion so as to be "close to Dean The Big Important Businessman," including Moronovia and Idiotesia. My mother writes HELLO CAN EVERYONE READ THIS? WHAT KIND OF PIE DOES EVERYONE LIKE? (Mother, it's called the Caps-Lock key; press it.) Dean wants to know whether everyone got his corn joke. Aunt Liddy says we should have the reunion someplace warm because Uncle Bob gets so cold. Tina points out that we're having the reunion in August, it's bound to be warm wherever we are. I tell him to put on a sweater but he doesn't listen, Aunt Liddy complains. I might not be able to make it in August, Dean warns. I have some big deals coming up. Boy that would be a shame, John remarks, I was really looking forward to listening to you talk about your great job for ten hours. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF PIE TO MAKE my Mother shouts. (Mom, you've got a month, you act like you're already pre-heating the oven.) Finally, decide on the exciting events!!!!! A really good polka band would be great, Uncle Lou declares. Also a contradiction in terms, adds Cousin Tina. YOUR FATHER WANTS RASPBERRY, my mother writes, as if we all have the same father. I can't eat raspberries, I am allergic, John advises. What would happen, Dean taunts, would your body swell up until it is fat as your head? Let's have a pi*ata, Tina suggests, that would be fun. Yeah, John agrees, especially if Dean is the pi*ata. The best polka band in all the world is right here in Boise, Uncle Lou exults. For your information if I eat raspberries I could die, John declares. I don't like raspberries either, Tina confesses. He just sits in his chair and tells me to turn up the heat, Aunt Liddy reports. I'd be happy to be toastmaster again, Uncle Lou offers. Please Bruce, Tina writes privately, don't let Uncle Lou have the microphone, last time he almost gave me brain damage. WILL PEOPLE WANT ICE CREAM WITH THEIR RASPBERRY PIE? (Uncle Lou, instead of a toastmaster this time let's just let people fight on their own.) Well, I'm considered something of a wise man here in Boise, Uncle Lou responds. WHAT KIND OF ICE CREAM WILL EVERYONE WANT? YOUR FATHER WANTS CHOCOLATE. (I'm not sure I can make the family reunion. I may have an important deal in Moronovia!!!!!) ...

 My 10-year high school class reunion is Saturday. I did not receive an inviation, nor did any of my high school friends (even though we receive the alumni magazine and invitations to countless fundraising events for our private Chicago school). We recently found out that our school alumni office is organizing the reunion at the school in conjunction with four other classes (5-year, 15-year, 20-year, 25-year reunions) and is charging a $40 admission charge per person for our class, payable by logging into the school website. My 5-year reunion was free (but I didn't go). I work part time and sing in a band. $40 per person seem a little steep to me. But I really want to catch up with some folks and show my girlfriend the school. I went to her private school reunion in New Jersey last year and it was free. Should I pay $80 to go to this thing with my girlfriend? ...

 My high school reunion is almost here. I am wondering how many people will be at the reunion who are divorced. Everyone will be about 28-29 years old at the reunion. How many people were divorced at your reunion? Were you suprised at how many people were divorce or not? ...

 I went to my family reunion, and when it came time to plan the next reunion, my father volunteered my sister and I to host the next it. Fortunately, we have two years to plan it. As we have never planned a family reunion before, we will probably need all the time and help that we can get. My question is, where do we get started? Is there an event planner out there? ...

 I'm trying to find the info on two high school reunions for a friends parents who live out of state. I need info on the Cass Midway class of '87 reunion in Cleveland, MO and the Belton High School class of '87 reunion in Belton, MO. I have already tried classmates.com with no help. If anyone has any info or knows where to look I would greatly appreciate it. ...

 A girlfriend I know from high school invited me to accompany her to her 35th high school reunion. (Same small high school I went to.) I thought it would be fun - since I know some of the same people - and she and I are good friends. But I asked my older brother, who is my friend's age, if he would mind if I went (since it's his reunion too) and he said yes, it would be weird for him. Now c'mon - I'm 51, he's 53. Can we grow up already? My feelings are kind of hurt. What do you all think? By the way, my husband, whose sister died a few months ago, said "I wish my sister was around so I could take her to my high school reunion." It made me think my brother doesn't like me a whole lot. I thought he did. Forgot to mention that my brother is married - and his wife is probably going too. Wow - I love all these great answers. And all this support. Thank you so so much!!! ...

 I was my class president. In a couple of years it'll be time for our 10 years high school class reunion. Where's a great place to start with getting everyone's ideas on choosing what we want to do? Of course everyone's scattered. I don't want this reunion to be boring and I definitely don't want it to be too expensive. How can I get all that information on where my classmates are now? And what are some cool suggestions on what we could do to have a nice reunion? ...

 Anyone remember "To Riverdale and Back again: An Archies reunion"? I love movies like that. I was working at one time on a screen play "A true Animal reunion: Animal House 2" but it got put on hold (at least till i could figure out how to take out Dean Warmer since the actor died) There should be more movies like that. Some tales told many years later.. where did they go? and things like that. DUH of course Bluto is dead. I took that into account and at the time any other actor that was dead too (they arent in it) ...

 I cancled Reunion.com a long time ago, but I am still getting these e-mails from them, regarding, someones trying to find you, lost friend, etc. How can I stop Reunion.com from sending me unwanted and not opened e-mails? ...

 NEVER use reunion.com. They charged me for another year without my agreement. Then I try to get a refund and they said they would remove the charges but would charge me $5. What a scam. Don't enter your credit card information unless you want to be scammed by reunion.com. By they way if you hang on the phone and let them know you are being scammed...they won't try to scam their $5. I recieved my FULL REFUND back! Just so you guys wont make the same mistake. ...
