so every now and then, I find myself sifting through old yearbooks and reliving forgotten moments. It's amazing how much emotional attachment I have to those books...

Two questions: 1) how attached are you to your yearbook ...and 2) how much would you have paid for one?

I just found out my freshman kid's school is charging $85 for one. Wtf?

Somehow I've lost all of my yearbooks over the years.. I just paid $95 for my sons freshman yb... I'll pay whatever they charge if that's what he wants and like my other two I doubt he'll care much about them but at the time they must all have them...

Mine cost over $100 and I ended up losing it because a friend wanted to sign it and he never gave it back...:cry:

I've lost most of mine...what I do have, I treasure. Especially the ones where I was in high school.

As a single mom, I'm just not sure I can swing that. My seventh-grader's is only $25. Why the difference?

I loved my high school days, but I also have no desire to relieve the moments from back then. Hell, I didn't go to my 20 year reunion. I mean, I still talk to my friends from back then, but we are all different people now that it doesn't bother me that I didn't go.

I don't remember what my folks paid for the yearbooks. I kept them for awhile until they were destroyed in a flood. Oh well. I still have the memories.

I don't know maybe b/c there are a couple more years in them.. I think I paid about the same for his 8th grade, I don't remember.. We have to pay for locker locks for the gym and regular, books, reminder binders, gym clothes all at the same time so I sometimes forget what each cost is b/c I write one decent sized check...lol

I completely forgotten about my yearbooks and couldn't find them for a long time because I had boxes of ****. Since I moved out onto my own I now have found them and sometimes I look at them but not often because I then think about all the things I would have done differently.

I don't even remember how much my mom paid for my yearbooks.

I don't know where my yearbooks are at the moment. I'd like to find them, though, because people from school keep adding me on facebook and I don't know who they are. laugh

I wasn't sure about going to my reunion, because I didn't really keep in touch with many of those people. But, I had so much fun!

When my childhood friends found out
that all my yearbooks had been stolen,
this is what they did.
They took all 4 years of yearbooks for
that high school, to the printer and
had him reprint all the pages pertaining
to that year, 9-12.
Then they bound it.
And sent it to me.
Can you imagine.:heart:

we have a group of people from high school that get together every couple of months. It's really pretty neat...

Funny enough, next month I'm supposed to join my high school bandmates to play at homecoming. Someone got it I their bright little head to bring back all of the people who now can't play to have one last hoorah.

I have all my yearbooks from high school and one from jr hi, i think it is funny to go in and read what we all wrote to each other, they sell yearbooks at elementary schools and they are a rip off. My kids arent getting them till jr. hi either when they start actually caring about real friends they will take to high school with. Yearbooks are very expensive.

i didn't buy any of the elementary ones, either...i could really care less about those, myself.

one of my kids is in a school for 7th and 8th grades, and the other is in a school for 10th and 11th grades.

true, the younger child's school is smaller...but $60 smaller? really?

to give her credit, my high-schooler didn't even ask. she just said she knew she couldn't get it. i might have to surprise her...
