ya got a point there Amanda, but I really would hate to lose everything my husband and I have worked for simply because the "mortgage companies" were giving loans to every Tom, Dick, and Harry. If you were alive, they gave you a loan.

darn it Amanda I'm working so hard to relax lol. I've been ranting for weeks and all the happy pork thrown into that bill has me in fits. Just trying to remember those youthful butterflies rather than thinking about the economy, our education system, and the everything-I-want-right-when-I-want it mentality...gah. Oh well. I can never stay in dreamland for long.

How fortunate for you Bets that Heath lived across the street from you!

10/03/08 02:01 PM #126    

Elizabeth Cole (Holcombe)

yeah, I just found out he used to look in my window which was right across the street..... my sister told me that. I never will forget the time that Tom Van Eck came over out of the blue, and then next thing ya know here comes Heath slamming my front door open and slams Tom to the ground, and then threw a knife threw my dang wall.... try explaining that to Steve and Marcia....

Hey Betsy, do you remember sneaking out of your house one night to go see one of your "loves" Tighe Shelly? We were such rebels!!! That was the first & last time I ever snuck out...how lame am I?

What I said was the government should have given us the loot instead of giving it to the irresponsible banks. Even though there would be repurcussions, the end result would have been our economy being stimulated.

Poor real estate speculation and reckless financial institutions received our cash instead. Someone, someday will have to pay that $ back. Probably will come from you not getting your SS check when you're old and gray, or my niece's generation will foot the bill.

ENOUGH OF THE RANT.

I had a crush on the foreign exchange student, Carlos, who was at WHS when I was a wee freshman.

Heath was a cutie, but I don't remember Glenn?
My issue with blaming JUST the mtg companies is that when my husband and I went to buy a house, that was the climate, no verifying income, they would give us whatever we wanted. I'm NO math genius, but I sat down and actually THOUGHT for as second about what we could afford...and didn't jump at the chance for an ARM so I could live big in the meantime. If we HAD bought a house 3x as big and 3x as expensive, I would have considered it MY FAULT when it finally crashed down around us.

Elizabeth Cole (Holcombe)

wow, I had forgotten that one. LOL

Laura L Miller (Cogbill)

man I don't remember Carlos either. What the hell did I SLEEP through high school?

Tighe...we did have some nice eye candy didn't we...

Carrie Miller

Ahhh, Carlos!!! I forgot about that one!!

10/03/08 02:05 PM #133    

Elizabeth Cole (Holcombe)

Gotcha Amanda...... the future of our economy is crazy scary...but the good thing for my family is my inlaws Gave us three acres of land...no payment... we paid cash for our house... no payment....so we are debt free.... except for those ridiculously high taxes we have to pay every freakin year. Ah sigh, oh well...

Elizabeth...knife throwing? Man nothing exciting ever happened at my house.

I had a MAJOR crush on Adam Smee ever since Jr.High...OMG, he was soooo hot!!!

10/03/08 02:07 PM #136    

Amanda Brooks (DiMartino)

Hahaa I could NEVER forget Carlos!

Also of course I had a crush on my high school sweetheart Chad Boyan. I remember there were so many girls that wanted to "fight" me. How about I have never been in a physical altercation in my life?

I totally remember Glenn when Lori dated him and I definitely thought he was cute too.

MeeemMMmooOOoOOOries...

Elizabeth Cole (Holcombe)

ADAM SMEE was the nicest guy I have ever known. He is somewhere in South America working for the peace corp. As far as I know he isn't married. My sister is friends with his bro, so I'll find that out for ya.

10/03/08 02:08 PM #138    

Laura L Miller (Cogbill)

didn't Adam have those killer eyes and black hair? hard to beat. I've always been a sucker for black hair...was just thinking: I'm such a different person now...wonder who the 15 yrs later me would have crushed on...now THAT I am not telling

10/03/08 02:08 PM #139    

Carrie Miller

How weird is it that 3 people here dated the same guy (Glenn)??

10/03/08 02:09 PM #140    

Elizabeth Cole (Holcombe)

I moved back after they broke up. I started dating him the begining of our Junior Year. Nikki White would always yell really nasty things to me out of the bus window, and I never knew what the heck I had ever done to her. Still don't

10/03/08 02:09 PM #141    

Amanda Brooks (DiMartino)

AND by the way Bets, good for you. My hubby and I just bought a house after saving forever and we live in BFE so our taxes are pretty reasonable.

I say the only thing we can learn from all of this crap is not to take anything for granted, like so many Americans do, yo know?


10/03/08 02:10 PM #142    

Laura L Miller (Cogbill)

I think that has been one of the biggest shocks for me...founding out just how PHYSICAL it was for some people at WHS..the girls included. One of the most important people in my life was attacked by another student...I just can't fathom that all that was going on...and why? seriously...

10/03/08 02:10 PM #143    

Elizabeth Cole (Holcombe)

YOU were the one who introduced me to him Carrie Ann! Do you remember that! LOL

10/03/08 02:10 PM #144    

Amanda Brooks (DiMartino)

Hahaaa so many people in HS did stuff like this, didn't they? "Nikki White would always yell really nasty things to me out of the bus window". That is called (in more modern terms) a "hater". no doubt.

LOL

10/03/08 02:11 PM #145    

Carrie Miller

Remind me to not introduce you to Joe!!! LOL!!!

10/03/08 02:14 PM #146    

Elizabeth Cole (Holcombe)

Hey you weren't dating anymore, besides you told me you only dated him because Alicia was dating Jason Blatter, and they were friends. LOL

She was vicious and hateful Amanda and I swear I don't know why. Lori, my sister told me you told her once I tried to run you over with a car. I swear that's not true... I was just a really bad driver. LOL

I remember when I was a freshman I started "dating" Tom Davis & Tina Arnold just got done dating him or something & we had a heated verbal argument in the cafeteria. From that point on her & Charla Stonier would drive by my house & yell things out the window. The ironic thing is in 2001 I started dating her uncle so we had to see each other at family functions!! Needless to say, we're cool now.
