None of my family branches have had an official reunion, beyond holidays, since my youth (but they just might not have invited me). Now three different sides are trying to get me to plan the event...what I look like? https://youtu.be/CeThuYS3Qsw?t=8s

and keeping the organization of the reunions going strong. I would imagine in another 10 years or so it will be on us. Though we do step in as needed, (t-shirt designs, email notifications, contest ideas, etc.)

NEVER AGAIN
It isn't a matter of perspective. It doesn't get better with the passage of time. My sister is STILL bossy and pretentious and my brother is still a creepy goofball.

the dynamic doesn't change at all!
i'm going on a cruise w/the family in a couple of weeks. i fully expect to spend a fair amount of time bullying my younger cousins and being teased by my older cousins. i'm ready for it.
I would never in a million billion years sign up to be TRAPPED ON A BOAT with my family. This was a 24 hour visit, and we stayed in a hotel, not at their home, and I was about to start biting before we left.

My mom just got passed the reigns this year. My younger cousin wants it but they refuse lol so I have a good 20 years before it gets to us lol
the key to happiness is not being rich; it's doing something arduous and creating something of value and then being able to reflect on the fruits of your labor

I plan on hosting one in the next 5 years

i planned a lot for our reunion in 2006. they tried to rope me into the last one but i didn't have the time. when it's our region's turn to host again i'll probably be on the planning committee.

Like, we'd have a gathering at the house, fuckin with me. We have our reunions every other year, which gives niggas 2 years to pay $50/adult or kid over 13. I hear my fam beg and beg for 2 years, and then get a rush of phone calls the week of like "Is it too late to pay?" Hell yeah it's too late, fuck off.
We had the reunion at Hard Labor Creek, which has cabins, and people really thought their last-minute $50 would reserve them a cabin.
