TOP 10 REASONS NOT TO ATTEND
                                    THE OD REUNION

           


10.  The '08 price was a whopping $25.00.  Now, realize that's a of
      money, and for that I was only offered 3 fun-filled days of reminiscing 
      with some of the most important people in my life, back in my 
      youth ... and several meals ... and a live deejay for three nights ... 
      and The Poor Souls LIVE!!!   ... and on and on ... 
      Gosh, for $25.00, I could stay home, go to a movie and have popcorn
      or Milk Duds and a soft drink of my choice ... Hmmm??? 
 
 9.  Gee whiz, Wally ... I'm in my late 50's (or early 60's, as the case
      may be ).  Having fun is in my past.  Heaven forbid I act young 
      again for three straight days and nights.  And with old friends I   
        haven't seen for nearly forty years!!    What will my children 
      think if they find out?  What would Eddie and Lumpy say?
    
8.   I've heard about that 60's Reunion at OD for Harding and West 
      Mecklenburg. Someone said they had about 500 people there 
      last year!  I'm not good in crowds.  Everyone knows I prefer to 
      keep to myself.  Why would I want to be around that many folks 
      who are celebrating life and the memories from the 60's ... 
      listening to all that great music from back in the day ... heck, I
      even heard some of them still get up and dance to that stuff ... 
      Who could possibly enjoy doing that instead of sitting home in a
      beanbag chair, eating Cheetos and watching TV?  Some people!!!
      
 7.  Even if I go to this thing, no one will remember who I am.       
      Yeah, I've heard how they all get together and hug.  Even 
      heard they'll walk right up to someone they don't even know 
      just to make new friends.  I already have 11 or 12 people that   
      are pretty much friends.  Not sure if I need more than that.

 6.  Actually, I knew a lot of people in school and a lot knew me. But 
      I wasn't "popular".  What if this is just for those who were 
      "popular" back then?  Will I fit in?  On the other hand, I did hear 
      they have mailed out over 4000 invitations, so they must want 
      everyone to join in the fun.   Maybe even me.

 

 5.  I've put on some weight, lost some hair, got some hair growing 
      where it was never meant to grow.  I'll bet all of those people 
      who go to this thing still look like their senior pictures in the 
      yearbook.  I'll really stand out.  But, then again, maybe some of 
      these things may have happened to some of them, too.  Hmmm. 


 4.  I'll bet every one of those people are doctors, lawyers, 
      astronauts, scientists, maybe even PLUMBERS ... How can I 
      possibly fit in with that kind of crowd?  On the other hand, 
      maybe they're not.  Maybe I would fit in after all.

 

 3.   Maybe I'll wait another year or two.  Then I'll go.  Yeah, that's 
        it.  Who knows?  This thing has been going on for several years 
      now.  And if it's really that good, it will always be there.  I 
      mean, why hurry?  We'll all live forever.  There's always 
      tomorrow.  Right?

 

 2.  They have this thing in late October every year.  Who goes to 
      the beach in late October?  Temperatures in the 70's.  Not too 
      cool at night.  I've heard some of them actually wear shorts and 
      such.  And since it's off-season at the beach, no big crowds to 
      fight like in July.  Doesn't make sense.   Who came up with that, 
      I wonder?


AND the NUMBER 1 REASON for NOT going to the Reunion of the 60's for Harding and West: 

.....There's not one!

 

Won't you sign up now? We'd love to have you there.  We're not going to live forever, so why not live today!!?
