I knew this girl who wore her wedding dress to our formal office Christmas party, because she "only wore it once and not everyone got to see it."


There are people out there that I just cannot pretend to understand.

VB did the woman know she was crazy? I agree with you wedd some people you can't even begin to understand. She married the pool boy???blink.gif oy, some women.

I'd like to think I won't get crazy and end up wearing mine everyday. but if someone dared me for a good amount of cash, I'd wear that sucker all day long and go about my normal day.
vbarkley
Sure, to wear it for money - understandable. Wear it around the house for fun - understandable. Formal party - nuts.

Another good reason it's good to be single:

Staying at home Friday night and posting as much as you can on a message board.

No, I don't have a wedding dress. But remember that episode of Friends* when Monica had to pick up Emily's wedding dress and she tried it on, then Rachel and pregnant Phoebe got dresses too and they sat around the apartment in them?

Yeah, me neither.

Having the ability to pick and choose from the single female attendees of your friends house-warming party. That's a tip-top reason for being single right there.

Last Friday:

My roommate went clubbing. Spent $50 on cover charges and drinks. Danced to "bad hip-hop" and reggae. His assessment: "It sucked."

I went to the local 'bucks. Spent less than $7 on mocha fraps. Free WiFi. Watched Office youtube videos and worked on ScrantonBranch's most recent QTP. One of the best Fridays in recent memory.

Being an introverted homebody rocks. tongue.gif

I am jealous of your Friday! Sounds like a fun night.
scottyskater77
Dude. One of my ex-kinda-sorta girlfriends just IMed me on AIM. We haven't talked in probably close to 2 1/2 years. And guess what I found out? She is totally obsessed with The Office. Wow. Why did I let this woman go? Oh yeah, because she lived 600 miles away. laugh.gif
vbarkley
Plus, you got a brand new girl now. How's that going?

I love spending Friday noghts at Borders. Books, coffee, dessert, and usually some good music. Except I always spend too much.
scottyskater77
I haven't talked to her for almost a week. I've been telling you guys I didn't think it was going to work. Don't feel bad for me or anything - I didn't want it to work either. We were just too different. And yes, we had an awesome date, but I can still have an awesome date and then not want to be with someone. Anyways, I guess we're not dating anymore. laugh.gif

Love 'em and leave 'em scotty; you're enough to bring an old woman to tears. sad01.gif
prettyinpink86
Well, it looks like I won't be single for long. I found this guy that I use to like on facebook & we're talking again. Well, he liked to me but I kinda got scared when he admitted that so soon. I like a bit of a chase. Anyway, I'm surprised that he still wants to give it a chance as it's been well over a year since we last talked. I'm also surprised that he was able to open up to me so quickly. I think we'll just grab a coffee & take it from there. I always like something casual for a first date.

tongue.gif Thanks scotty, but I draw the line at guys that are half my age. Well, almost.

Here's one of my weeding out tools. I ask a guy who was president when he was born. Anyone after Gerald Ford* I consider too young for me, and anyone before Eisenhower* is too old. And if they don't know, they're too stupid for me. happy.gif

*My limits used to be Richard Nixon and FDR, but I decided to lower my standards. tongue.gif

See, I have a tricky one. I was born in June 1974 and Nixon was President until August of that year--then it was Ford.

So if you meet any 33 year old hotties and they get the question wrong, cut them a break!!! smile.gif

If he was really smart (which he'd have to be to snag someone as awesome as VB) he'd memorize the presidents of many countries on his birthdate. Then when VB asked 'Who was the president when you were born?' he could reply 'Of what country, my dear?'. Then he'd rattle off about 20 countries and thier president.

That would be a sharp guy.

You can also weed out the nerds. If they give you any more information that who their "Prez" is (such as his favorite color, favorite meal, pet names, etc.), you know they're just too nerdy. Unless you yourself are a nerd. In that case disregard everything I've said. tongue.gif

I'm a nerd, but not that nerdy!! And that's exactly what I thought of when I read RC's post! TMI!

One guy told me he was born on the day Nixon was assinated. Ummmm, Richard Nixon wasn't assisinated. "Oh, yeah, it was.....that other guy." rolling.gif

We discussed this a few weeks ago, somewhere--anyway, I have one of those. I bought it too small and I thought I was going to die. But it got some reaction, so it did it's job until I decided it was more important for me to breathe and not have my ribs in my throat!

As I get older, I care less, but there was a time there when it really bothered me to be either a 32B or a 34A--depends on what type of bra I want to buy. Even now, I still check in with my husband every now and then on if he's okay , and then he yells at me and tells me to shut up!!

Oh, and over on Accountability, I said that I lost 7 1/2 lbs? I had gained it in my butt and boobs, and that's exactly where I lost it from, too. I thought that maybe I would be lucky enough to lose it just from my butt, but no!!

Um, this all belongs on the Boobs thread, right? wink.gif

It's all good, I don't think the guys mind us talking about boobs on multiple threads. laugh.gif I've heard before that the first place you lose weight is in your chest because it's basically all fat. I've also known that to be true. But way to go with the weight loss! Losing it from anywhere is a bonus... well, maybe. wink.gif

These boards are awesome!

And yes, talk about boobs on any thread you like. tongue.gif
vbarkley
You can do a SEARCH. At the top of the page right above where it says 'my assistant' there is a SEARCH button. Click on it and you will have many options. I suggest typing in the word 'boobs' in the 'Search by keywords' box. Then scroll down to the bottom right. On 'Result type' hit the button for 'Show results as posts.' Then you can read all the boobs posts you like.

Welcome to the boards.

Here's the update you want & it's gonna be really brief:

He's still into drugs so it's not even gonna happen. He's either baked, drunk or something else. My lifestyle is very clean & involves only little alcohol. I never touched a cigarette & I treat my body with respect. I can't be with someone who doesn't do the same. It just proves that looks aren't the whole package.

Two things to say. 1. I'm sorry. 2. You go girl!

You're absolutely right, looks aren't everything. I tell that to one of my best friends all the time. When you think about how many things there are that make up a person, looks is only one of millions and millions of things. If you can't get along with those other millions of things, the way someone looks isn't going to cover it. You're awesome for sticking to what you know is most important!
Fancy_New_Becca
oh as far as the looks thing goes, my ex, not that hot. He was a really great with music, could play anything and could sing. I was attracted to him for that, later I learned he when it came to his personal life, he had no back bone.
