Well, you sure sold it as a good time Charles Johnson. I can't wait to go now. Maybe I'll plant some flowers instead.
You'll have fun Mya. You get to try a bunch of different stuff and then know when you go out to other places what you might find appealing. I had a blast and really liked this blueberry beer I tried. Which was rather surprising to me as I hate blueberries. But not blueberry flavored stuff I guess. Do it! No peer pressure, but do it!
I just do not have a pallet for Pabst at all. I think it tastes just horrible, the Canadian equivalent being O.V. ("Ol' Vagina!") which like Pabst has a cult following but most of the time you see it popular in either trailer parks or vet legions.
You're probably right funball. Plus its not like I haven't wasted $35 on things before. I may have missed it, what was the verdict on the graduation dress and shoes. Sure I could dig up the B-ette thread but the TiBers seemed just as interested.
I got a dress. The smaller size one fit better but still didn't look right. The second dress I ordered I really liked but I had gone shopping with my daughter and found a black one that I liked a little better. I would have kept the VS one but it was black also. If it was a different color I would have kept it. I'll post a picture at some point since everyone was so helpful. Thanks for asking. I wasn't set on black, I just liked it.
Prom is so much cheaper if you have a son. I rented everything and it took less than five minutes to do my hair. Done. Hell, some guys don't give a shit and just throw on a tuxedo t-shirt. of course, thats kind of a disrespectful thing to do if you have a date. And girls run a financial gauntlet for prom that can rival a bride sometimes.
You're right, it depends. I paid for my daughter's dress, shoes (which I can borrow) and her prom ticket so about $200 total. She paid for her date's flower, her hair, makeup and nails. They didn't take a limo. One of the guys' tux was more than his date's dress, but another girl there her mom paid $300 for her dress. And it wasn't worth it. On the subject of prom, last night as we're waiting on the last guy to show up so we can take the pictures, one of the guys said that him and a friend were trying to guess how many girls would end up pregnant from prom. One guessed 3, another 5. Did you guys ever talk like that in front of a parent? My daughter didn't hear it and I mentioned it to her this morning and she said that the guy has no filter. I guess. And one of the girls kept wanting butt pictures--for both the girls and the guys and then when we were taking pictures of just the guys and they were standing there she said "yeah cover your crotches". So now I have pictures of the dudes with their hands in front of their crotches. Kids today. It was weird. I did get some cool pictures of my middle one photo bombing their pictures and my girls insisted their brother come down for a picture. He LOVED that (he didn't).
I've gone to most of the places he's visited in Central Texas. They have all been disappointing, if not completely awful.
Anybody ever been in a dive bar while the sun is still out? Holy fuckballs that shit is depressing. There's one bartender. She's 45, looks 57. The patrons are past 50, all drinking vodka, the women drink wine. When that door opens breathing stops as a huge blast of light blinds everyone. Not because of the brightness, but because it is a reminder life is still outside waiting to eat you up. The bar itself is padded. Padded. So when someone passes out they don't brain themselves on the wood. I have to get drunk just to forget drinking in that joint. For Canadian Day, god help me Avril Lasagna looks pretty good. You can still keep her.
I'm sensing sarcasm. I like how this guy doesn't even try. Like, "eh, fuck it, I'll just go up like this, at least I get to lay down".
Well now I'm planning a 9 hour road trip from Lawrence Kansas to Chicago. I would start a thread for road trip tips, but everyone has their own thing. Just going to fill up the phones and tablet with podcasts and music. Put a few TV shows on the laptop. If we don't break up after this, it'll be a success.
That was probably the smart thing to do, I don't think it would have been easy to get up from that position without risking falling down the escalator more.
So the mother of the single hottest girl in my high school started working at my job this week. I found out the girl met her husband on match.com. If this scorching hot Brazilian (at least I think she's Brazilian) is trolling for romance online, I might have to give this online dating thing a go.
