Awhile ago we asked Don why attend our 50th reunion? Well now it's Jim's turn...

12. If you don’t attend, you will be talked about. People will have to imagine reasons for your absence. "I heard they overdid his hair transplant and he looks like Don King" or "I heard she got so much Botox, she can’t laugh, cry, blink or stop smiling."

11. Feel better realizing you are not the only one who is single again, still married or never married! And most of us are just happy to be alive!

10. You've not thought about getting into shape since the last reunion.

9. You want to try to dance one more time before it's time for your hip or knee replacement.

8. You want to squash 50 years of rumors about you...and possibly start new and improved ones.

7. Humor the reunion committee; they usually are a bunch of deluded diehards who think everyone should show up to appreciate their efforts.

6. You don't have to ask for the keys to the family car or sneak out a window to be with your friends, and we will have "designated drivers"

5. We can still make it to the reunion!

4. To see what color the girls' hair is now and to see how many of the guys still have hair.

3. There will be no swimsuit competition, EVEN IF REQUESTED!

2. You don't have to lie about your age. We know how old you are. (BUT BE FOREWARNED...WE'VE SOMEHOW TURNED INTO OUR PARENTS!)

1. It will be FUN!!! You can re-connect with old friends, make connections with new friends, and re-capture the "joys of youth". The reunion won't be the same without you.
