Dating Disasters -- What's Fixable, and What's Unforgivable {Lemondrop}
Oct 22nd 2010 10:10PM I just went on a first date with a retired cop. Seemed like a nice guy and we spent the day browsing the 'tourist" town he lives in.... well, after I got home, I received a "report card" text from him! he listed what he had learned from our first meeting. He was pissed I didn't grab for his hand. He said he could tell I like "bad boys". He said I am still in love with my ex and I am distant and aloof. Oh and I sat across from him at dinner, not beside him. Mind you, he asked me to sit where I wanted and I like to look at someone's eyes... I called him and politely told him I had never been evaluated, after a first date, and let him know I felt blindsided by his remarks. Now he texts constantly and says I am hostile and played him like a "puppet". He is beginning to sound a bit crazy, so I don't respond. Now he says he will give me another chance and he will date me, so I won't miss out on a perfect guy! We aren't kids, both of us are almost 60.
Dating never gets easier, but texting stuff like this is awful.

Feb 3rd 2010 5:45PM Was she in the front seat? Not okay for a 6 year old. Now I am wondering about side air bags. Would they pose a hazard,if activated, while a passenger is eating? My prayers to the child and her family.

No Bad Boyfriends! Feb. 15 Is Come to Your Senses Day {Lemondrop}
Feb 15th 2009 11:25AM Okay,get ready for the worst date ever! I am a still-young widow who had been dumped by a LTBF. So I tried online dating... the man was a widower and seemed pleasant. Asked me to dinner,when he discovered it was my birthday. All I wanted was company and to hear about his recent trip to Ireland. Well... first of all, as we sit stuck in a corner of a restaurant,he whips out a filthy,sticky photo album of his dead wife. (BTW, I am not a snob, but a date should wear a clean shirt.) So I politely flipped thru the book. He asked to see mine and I told him I don't carry one. He argues that I must! Now I am thinking of leaving,but haven't eaten much all day and am diabetic,so I am feeling woozy. He takes forever to order appetizers and then the fun begins. He announces,very loudly, that he thinks he "killed his wife"! People are watching and listening... A girl at the next table jumped up and moved her chair away from us. So I say,gee wouldn't you know if you killed her? And he goes on to tell me they had been searching for her "G SPOT" for years, and finally found it... then she rolled over and apparently died,during her sleep. Horrible situation,but I am stunned. All I could think to say was "I guess she died happy!" Ouch! I regret that,but my brain was fuzzy by then. In the meantime, he has eaten every greasy,fried,appetizer and has sauce running down his chin. (I am a nanny and had to fight the urge to wipe his chin) While eating, I was dodging "food rockets" as he talked and food shot out of his mouth at me. Oh,he did offer me the last onion ring and then burped over it....I would rather starve than eat it. It has been an hour and our oysters are unavailable. No crackers,sugar packets, I am seriously in need of food. My date announces he is full anyway and doesn't need an entree. Huh?
He does mention,in an even louder voice, that he hasn't had sex for 9 years. Wow,what a charming thing to say at our first (an last) date!
He leaves for the bathroom and I am trying to decide if I should run or be polite and wait to say good-bye. He appears and says,"I have something to show you". He starts backing up to my face (I am against a wall) and I asked him what the hell he was doing! He starts fumbling with his jeans and starts pulling them down... "I have something you have to see" he says... By now, I am all done with being patient and polite and I give him a push and tell him to pull up his jeans. He is disappointed as I failed to notice his boxer shorts have chili peppers on them and match the chili sauce bottle(on our table). ??? I drove around for an hour,so he wouldn't figure out where I live and he never saw my car. My guess is he has been alone a few years and has lost his social graces,but he scared me.
My LTBF and I reunited after that. He thought I was kidding when I told him this story.
My daughter asked if anyone had ther cell phone out,during my "date from hell". She thinks it should have been on YouTube! LOL

Surprising dogs breeds to be wary of {ParentDish}
Jul 11th 2008 9:06PM I agree with your comments! My daughter has 5 kids who have been raised with Rotties,mutts,Jack Russell,etc. They have been taught how to behave around dogs and their dogs have been trained. The biggest mistake people make is to treat dogs as human beings. They can't tell us they don't feel well and leave them alone... so they may snap at us,instead. Dogs feel threatened by kids because they move fast and can startle the dog. So we teach our kids how to approach a dog,read the signs that a dog may be irritated,etc. Your comment about that girl gave me chills... how could anyone keep a dog that has ripped into a small child? Accidents happen,but that borders on negligence.

Jul 11th 2008 8:39PM I am a nanny(and dog owner) and the toddler I take care of has an American Mastiff puppy,who will weigh 200+ lbs.,when full grown! Trying to keep the toddler and 45lb. puppy from hurting eachother is a challenge! He is a 13 week old and sweet. He accidently knocks her over trying to "kiss" her. She tries to bite his face... I caught them wrestling and he had her hand,in his mouth,(just mouthing her) and she started biting his jowls. She doesn't understand how huge her puppy will be...... He likes to sit on me...LOL

Jul 11th 2008 8:19PM My theory has been that smaller dogs are more aggressive due to the fact they are small. Bigger dogs aren't intimidated as easily. All dogs can bite(I have 2 big dogs) and if someone asks me if my dogs bite,I tell them sure they could. They are animals and I would never assume they wouldn't bite. Just met a 15 month old beautiful girl who has 120 stitches in her little face. Her family dog bit her,after another dog grabbed it's toy. The toddler got in the middle and the wounds are shocking. Her face was maimed and she has lost both of her family pets. They were adopted out...
Driver puts faith in GPS, shears off top of charter bus on bridge {Autoblog}
Apr 21st 2008 9:57PM I have no sense of direction and have to listen to my GPS(I named her Sally). I don't look at the screen except at stoplights,but usually can rely on simple voice prompts. Why would any sane person expect their GPS to calculate the height of their vehicle? or be 100 % accurate? I use my brain and watch the road... the GPS is just a talking map to me. Scary,isn't it that the dufus has a license at all!
Are kids getting brattier? {ParentDish}
Aug 20th 2006 11:02AM As an early childhood educator,mom and grandma, I can understand the dilemna. My kids started at McDonald's and gradually worked their way up to Denny's,Red Lobster and more sophisticated restaurants. We wouldn't take them to a ritzy place, just because the food is too pricey,not palatable for young kids and I think "kid-free" couples have the right to a peaceful dinner! My kids and grandkids have beautiful manners, but that is due to years of insisting that they behave well, in public places. Tantrumers were swiftly removed from the premises, so they learned the consequences of their actions.
And let me add... sometimes I would rather sit next to a kid, than a man yelling loudly with a Bluetooth in his ear! Adults can be just as annoying!LOL
