He's not getting any younger either, Paula, and he's gonna die younger. You could always remind him of that

I laughed my ass off, told her all my kids are in Cancun, and go talk to my married sister.
Slappy's mom meeting his girlfriend for the first time- "Do you have ovaries dear?"
Uhoh, did you get that wicked cold that's going around?
The only one even edging toward that kind of commentary is my mother. But, hers is even less helpful. I was dating a 41 year old man (I was 35 at the time) and she sighed, "You are determined to die alone...." As if I could manage my life just so as to guarantee that I'd die before my mate.
Geez, Slappy, how old is she? My mother had to wait until she was almost 60 before she was allowed grandkids.
I have a cough, and feel a little under the weather, so I guess it's a cold.
And while we're on the subject....no woman to take care of me.
Let me go wake my roomate up by walking into his room naked wearing a ski mask. He'll fetch me some tea.

Ummm....51 or 52.
It was so funny the way she said it though. I think at the time I didn't even have a gf, and my sister was either engaged or married.
Aw, poor slappy...... if you were really sick, maybe I'd bring soup.

Sorry she said that but Jebus that's funny.
I am thick. Need thoup.
Or beer.
paula - all I could think was, geez, shouldn't she just want me to be happy?
Slappy, talk to me when you have a fever of 102.
Oh sorry your sick slappy. Virtual (((((HUG))))))
Thanks honey-babies.
I'm going to pass out. Word to your moms.

Family memebers love to blurt thing's out without thinking.
Heh, according to Channel 5 News this evening Boston is the 4th WORST city for dating in the US.

What is going on with this area? Did they say why?
No. They didn't really get into the reasoning. It was from some sort of Valentines Day survey. Atlanta was #1 on the list. *shrugs*
Both boston and hotlanta have large singles populations. I think.
I had my grandmother to take care of blurting stuff out. Unfortunately she's dead. My mom is awesome, she's seen me through the worst each time and she's the one that assures me again and again that i can live a single happy life, even if i don't meet the prince charming ever. which takes awhile to learn after an 8 year long relationship that i thought is forever. oh well, i know that what i do now for work would be hard to combine with any relationship, and i am happier than i ever was. that's a pleasant surprise.
littlek wrote:<sigh> do we really have to get outside of the city to find men our age? Memer, how old are you, if I may ask? I'm 36 (I think, I've temporarily lost count) and many of the guys I meet are too young for me. All the same, I'd go out with slappy for a drink or 4 anyway.....
I've been to the Not Your Average Joes in Arlington and it is more of a family type restaurant, though there could have been single men there. I have turned off my radar because it was faulty.
sorry, actually had to do some work, I am 31, seriously, all the guys that have been asking me out are 21 to 25.......
