do you ever look at your year end annuals from junior/high school and read some of the comments from your school mates??

You can always find them on Facebook and go "🐳 hello there "

We don't have yearbooks in the UK, at least not back in 2006. What we used to do was sign each other's school uniform T-shirts with a little message like good luck, love, and so on.

I hated those years.

Noooo! That was 43 years ago.
