blind-fitter Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'm fairly sure that Mrs Fitter's parents weren't too thrilled when she brought me home to meet them for the first time,(nearly 25 years ago) in my colourful punk-rock gear covered in badges and paint and what-have-you. I looked a little idiosyncratic, perhaps: not what they'd hoped for. I don't they were concerned that I might be on drugs: more that she must have been. 'Course, I soon won them over, once they realised that my rough exterior concealed a heart of gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 My daughter's only four, but when she starts to date, I think I'll judge her dates by how they respectful they are of her and how they treat her than how they look. That being said, I will probably gasp if she brings home a guy who doesn't look like the norm (unless the norm is like today, these kids who wear their pants halfway down their ass, then I'd prefer other than the norm).....but I'll try to be open minded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 When I was a teen, my parents would want to know if my date was Italian, and does he have a job...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Does he have a job and has he ever been in trouble with people like Marc are my top two questions. When she was younger I used to tease her and tell her she was flypaper for freaks she agreed with me. She sure can pick um. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I asked my youngest daughter, why can't you girls find nice lookin, respectable boys,..... she said "because mom, there aren't any"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Mine says the exact same thing and from what I've seen (no insult intended to all young men because I know there are some good ones out there just not in our town) our girls are right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Yeah, I don't know who told them that we find butt cracks attractive. Most of us realize that that's where poop comes from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluesky Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I still like butt crack. Is that going to be your epitaph? I like it as such. The small area of back and butt crack that shows at the top of low rider jeans is called the "coin slot." I find that hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm so mad right now my head is spinning. (Note to Farin: find a smiley with a spinning head or a puff of smoke over it!) Tonight I got a phone call from the mother of a girl my son used to hang out with (there's a whole group of them - none of them stellar kids - and my son no longer hangs with them). She says, "My son's PSP was stolen last summer and we just found out it was your son or X who took it. I've already talked to X's mom and she says no way her son did it. So I wanted to call you and find out which one of you is going to pay me back the $250." ~ verbatim Now, regardless of who actually did the lifting, am I wrong that this woman - who I've met all of twice - should have perhaps approached this in another manner, and before almost an entire year had passed? I am dumbfounded. And more than a little pissed off. (for those who are wondering, I have handled this issue with my kid.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 That's one tactful lady What brass ones she's got, too, to just out and assume it's your kid. If you didn't run over there and punch her, then you need to be commended for your retraint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'd tell her lotsa luck with that honey...and then I'd show her my love for Badfinger!.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I did give her the badfinger. Too bad it was over the phone. I didn't even know who she was when she first identified herself. And evidently she actually went over to the other kid's house to talk to his mom. If she'd come over here, I'd have flattened her. I'm still mad.

MarcM Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Tell her that her daughter probably sold the PSP to buy crack and that there is no way in hell that she is going to see dime one from you. ...coin slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 They are taking my computer to the hospital again. This time it will be there for a week or more. As I am not working at the office anymore, I won´t have the computer there. My husband is constantly using his pc. My best friend has a laptop for work but no computer at home. He said he´d buy me a new one but he´s a bit broke... My new job has web filters and i´ll be busy till 6 pm. I hate my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Oh, I surely will borrow his computer (the current husband´s computer, I mean) but anyways... At least, the PC has youtube et all. But I have a bunch of lazy guys around me, they should have fixed my computer four or five weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
