I have no sewing skills either but buttons are extremely easy. Even 17-year-old Marine recruits learn to sew on buttons

You are not alone.
I literally, just a few minutes ago before logging on here, asked my husband why I feel like Christmas is such a chore.
I used to love it.
Now... meh.
I do it because it's expected.
I think I'm just having trouble finding joy in anything right now. I'm depressed about Shane. The world is moving on without him and it sucks. It feels like time should just be standing still.
So on this thread you can just talk about, as my therapist would call it, preoccupied (by...fill in the blank?).
I looked for the original, initiating post and can't find that, but yes 
You've been slowly torturing me with all the yummy food you've been posting lately!
I'm going to hunt down a pie/cake place tomorrow just so I can find something that resembles this masterpiece.

Not sure what to do. I got a friend request on FB today...from my ex. Not just any ex, this was my one and only true love and the only one I said 'Yes' to. Didn't get married, we were too young and stupid. I probably should accept, but why after 35 years is he trying to reach out? I just need to figure out if I want or need him back in my life. Don't get me wrong, I will always love him. You always hold a special place for your first love.
So much has changed. I have changed. He has probably changed. Do I want to ruin the memories and end up hating him because he became a jerk?

I say accept. John and I met when I was 16. He asked me for my number, but didn't call. He later said he chickened out. Ten years later, we went on our first date. You never know what will happen if you take a shot.

Last I heard he was married. He did msg me and simply asked "Is this you?".
I don't want him to be like my son's father. He friended me simply to push his political views (Trump) on me. I deleted him quickly.
I responded, so we'll see how it goes.
There will always be a connection with your first...
I kept in touch with my high school sweet heart's parents over the years.
After about 25 years, I met up with my old flame. He had kids, and was married. I'm married as well. There was no real "flame" any longer, but we decided we make pretty good friends (long distance helps, too). Other high school friends have not been as connected, even when we've occasionally touched base.

I hope things go well when you start talking with him.

- Definitely see what's up with him. He might surprise you. Could be in a good way or not so good way. Either way, if you do, you can't say you never gave him a chance.
I'm late, but did want to comment that I'm the type that moves on. I just don't see a lot of value in yesterday's news.
On my mind, I just saw several snowflakes, we'll see if this turns into anything

I have been there, and chose no. But it sort of depends I think on the situation. My guy was longtime married and just getting nostalgic I thought about our past. I didn’t want to go there and ignored the request.
I would see what you can find out about him. Is he married or in a relationship? Are you married or in a relationship? Is reconnecting something that might cause pain or make your life messy? Or would reconnecting bring closure to past issues?

wish you were closer=I could sew it on in 5 minutes...Would a tailor shop be able to sew a single button back on a sweater?Or is that a minor thing that's not worth their time doing? I have zero skills at sewing.

All I can say is people change...you can keep it friends only and see what your gut says..I know in my short life, I feel like my life has been one of 3 seperate people..I have changed several times and definately am NOT the same person I was as when I was a teenager ready to move out...you can meet for dinner and see how it goes..some people change..some people are mature enough to know this..hard to tell by Facebook posts though...meet face to face and take it one step..if nothing, maybe you guys can be good friends.
If not, you guys can laugh at the old days and talk about the good times in high school or college..lol.
I don't know if I would accept friend request-I would instead meet up and see what happens-then when you gain some trust then add him to your facebook page..not everyone I chat with is on my facebook-some people I only feel comfortable trading jokes or small talk...

Last I heard he lived in SC. However, his dad and brother still live in the valley, but that's over 200 miles away.
I'm like you, I only have 9 FB friends. I tend to not let too many people in.
I would go on You Tube and watch a video (there are lots!) of how to do it. It’s pretty easy.Would a tailor shop be able to sew a single button back on a sweater?
