Are unattractive couples welcome here as well as upwardly mobile, goodlooking ones?

We think you and your hubby are cool too!

What I highlighted in your post above is exactly right and it hurts me when someone questions our motives for being here because we are no longer "in UPC". I hope that some day they will truly understand.

(I keep taking the "h" out of my name when you type it - lol)!

I know a few people on here...like for real and in person...

Dizzy...since I was in kindergarten and she was in HS...lol
Light...I met last Christmas, though my dad has known him for years.
ReformedDave...I saw one time in church, he was playing something with keys, I am musically illiterate.
I know a few lurkers who rarely post. There are a couple more but they would probably deny knowing me.

First, I know exactly what you mean, my daughter doesn't think I am weird because she has met a lot of her friends over the years on-line, but the rest of my family kind of looks at me like I've lost my mind. I have to constantly mentally edit before I talk, to make sure I am not throwing in too many references to conversations on the forum or talking about friends on the forum too much. It is a riot!

Second, I am getting ready to KILL your husband. KINDERGARTEN my foot!!!!

I knew you would catch that, but I couldn't resist. I was in kindergarten when we moved there, that part is true.

It must have been before TCA because I went to school across town at I.H. terry's when we first moved there.

Really??? Because we didn't have a school yet? Didn't your mom work there when we first started?

Originally Posted by Baron1710 (Post 542563)

That is a true story. I am not sure if she worked there the first year or not. I think maybe the second year because the first year is when I lost my eye, and she wasn't at the school when that happened.

"Well did you see what Dizzy wrote about ....,"
"and then Pastor Poster said"....
"Well yeah but Rico said",
"but what do you think Ferd meant by...",
"and RandyWayne was hilarious when he wrote..."
"Yeah but on that other thread, 1399 made the point that..."
"Well Rhoni and Renda both shot them down..."
"And Sister Alvear was asking about...."
"Rico and Dan were going at it again..."
"ReformedDave has been there, though, and he said..."
"Abundant Grace changed his profile picture..."
"Amazing Grace made me laugh when..."
"DividedThigh and Sam were discussing..."

Finally, after a few minutes my daughter (looking completely confused and flustered) Blurted out,

It is actually the greatest party trick, ever!
When I used to teach kindergarten, I would tell my kindergarteners the story and explain about being nice on the playground...
They always asked for details....

Not to mention, for a short time Andrew was subbing at the school where I work when he was waiting on Bar results... Nothing gives you more credibility with a middle schooler than being able to take out your eye!

lessons I have learned from being married to a one-eyed man...
Never ask him to keep an eye on the kids

Never ask him to keep an eye out for something

When we are going somewhere if its to meet someone new they say mom are these our real friends or our make believe computer friends? ROFL! The only one they know to be real is Rhoni and thats a long story but she has spent a lot more time with my kids so they know her as a real life friend now but the rest of yall are still just make believe ROFL
