I'm over 35. I've done some casual Facebook searches for old chums and crushes, and I've found very few of the people I wanted to find. However, I easily found plenty of people I didn't like back in the day . Sometimes people don't want to be found by old school chums, and they don't list their old schools in their profiles, making the narrowing down of searches even harder.

Have you tried some of those schoolmates search sites? You might have some luck there. I actually found one of my old crushes had a profile on one of those sites (profile was created in the early 2000s though, I only found it around 2010), but obviously, I didn't contact her.

tried all the sites I could think of.
The bad part is, I don't know which City/Town that she moved to.
I only know the state.

Well, for my old crush, it was a similar situation as you. We got close, then she moved away.

All I knew was her name and put in the school we went to together as the main starting point. That's basically all I needed to find her profile on the schoolmates search site I used. (I think it was Classmates.com after a quick google just now)

There's not much more you can do if that doesn't work, though, other than making it so other people can find you if they search for you. I've had a Facebook account with relevant info for about 10 years now and not one old school chum has contacted me in that time (partly to my relief, too).

Just in the the first 5+ pages of A Scanner Darkly, the movie Bug (2006) is almost spelled out. I recognized that movie years ago but couldn't remember from where. Whoa Déjà vu, have I already mentioned this in here? Anyone remember me commenting on this?

Well personally I do like finding people I know on FB. However I am a relatively private person so I don't like being easy to find on there. I imagine quite a few people are the same way. One reason I can think of is you can get in trouble with employers or relatives for social media content, best way to avoid that is to minimize the number of people you friend.

General Tso's Chicken with noodles is always a winner, especially when you top it off with a tall beer.

Agree. I'm a fan of the General and his chicken.

I heard that is a derogatory term.

Yeah, agreeing with Darth Anakin is derogatory.

Three-lane freeway, steady flow of traffic in all three lanes. SUV is tailgating me, then switches lanes. I just know that the second the vehicle in front of him gets ahead a bit, he's gonna try to squeeze through that tight space and cut back in front of me, and yup, that's what he does. All so he can tailgate the vehicle that's been directly in front of me the whole time?
