Digg it UP - Being Comfortable at Your High School Reunion
Writing Non-fiction
All of us are authors, and all of us have a book already written within us that needs to come out.I believe that fiction is the easiest to write because none of what you write can, or needs to be verified and you are only limited by your imagination. On the other hand nonfiction requires verification of facts and the book usually has references to the material that you have used. These facts can come from the documentation of others or your own. But the materia

High school reunions are ironic. We go to them as adults, with a little bit of that insecure high school kid still in us. We want to impress our former peers, knowing very well that their opinions really mean nothing. But, more than anything, we just want to be comfortable with who we’ve become, and know we aren’t defined by who we were in high school.
Not a lot of preparation needs to be done for a reunion. Sure there are people who will spend hours at the hair dresser or weeks at the gym trying to lose the 20 pounds they’ve accrued. But, for most of us, getting some good sleep on the night before should suffice. The best way to be refreshed and re
Budget Cuts in Government Recommendations
Well it is time to cut out some fat in our government and we must do this now. The best way to reduce government waste is to look at the worst performing agencies, which have no possible way to fix themselves. One such agency is the Federal Trade Commission, which was suppose to curb SPAM. Of course they were unable to do this because; well because they cannot do anything right. They lie in secret courts, make up complaints and PR themselves into the lime light, but a
Whether you’re going to your fifty year, bragging about grandkids and showing off new teeth, or going to your ten year, bragging about degrees received and showing off new cars, high school reunions can be uncomfortable. This is partly because people change, losing touch with those they once copied off of in third period algebra. But, mostly it’s because no matter how old people become, they always seem to somewhat care what their high school peers think of them. This can lead to some uncomfortable times at Ridegement High, or any high school, USA.

But, it’s not impossible to make reunions comfortable. With a little planning, and a little restraint, you may find yourself being as cool as you always remembered.
Don’t Say you Invented Post-its
Exaggeration and reunions seem to go with each other, as if they arrived together in an old beat up Honda but called it a limo. However, exaggeration is risky, especially when the exaggeration is so great that it can be proved false. Few things are more uncomfortable than exaggerating, and getting caught by those you’re trying to impress. If you feel a need to enhance a little, keep it to a minimum; don’t say you are married to someone who looks like Mel Gibson, when you really are married someone who looks like Mel Brooks.
Don’t Have Pre-conceived Notions
We all wonder what happened to the quarterback of the football team, the head cheerleader, the senior class president, and the class oddball who only wore black and skipped around with bagpipes. While we likely have assumptions of what became of whom, don’t be so immersed in who you think people have become that you are unwillingly to see who they really are. People often turn out different than even they think they will and the version of them now can be 180 degrees from what they once were.
Don’t Only Talk to Those You Know
Most of us have a small group of high school friends who we still keep in touch with, even years later. While we’ll see them at the reunion, we’ll also seem them at poker on Saturday night. Instead of spending all your time catching up with those you’ve already caught, reach out to those you haven’t seen in years. Even if you weren’t friends with them in high school, you might find, as adults, you have more commonalities
Don’t Bring up old Beef
Most people had a high school nemesis, that one person with whom they just never got along. While it may have been fine to shun this person in high school, a time when shunning was not only acceptable but highly conducive to social standing, reunions are meant to be peaceful, and full of maturity. A reunion is a time to leave water under the bridge, not a time to open up a flood gate.

Is it a Mistake to Set Up a Revocable Living Trust?
Some of you may be under the mistaken impression that I am an advocate for a revocable living trust in all situations. This is not true. I believe that using a revocable living trust should be decided on a case by case basis, considering the facts and circumstances of the specific case.For example, let’s talk about my mother-in-law. This is a true story.Back when I was in active practice, my mother-in-law didn’t want to ask me to work on her estate plan.
