No not a terrible person just a teenager.
Well i got my shoulder pads and helmet for my high school football team (freshman) yikes. lol practice and stuff starts today. And, my phone finally works! 
Since I posted on the B&M thread and karmic law requires I post here: the mrs. will be employed one way or another. The job she really wants is still available, so she’s hoping she’ll have her second (and third and fourth) interview(s) in the coming days. Meanwhile, she’s been offered another temp job that she plans on taking in the meantime. Starvation’s staved off for another month. Hooray!
Yea!! Go Mrs. Armando!!
Yeah for jobs! That’s good news.
It is sooooo hard to find anything these days.
And since I just complained about doing time sheets on the B&M thread, let me just say that this sole provider feels very lucky to have a job right now.
It still might be a couple of weeks till she actually has to report to a place of business, but there is one temp job she’s taking and one permanent that she’ll hopefully be interviewing for this week.
That is as close to hitting the lottery as you can get at your age. Good luck!
Woot no starvation! That is hard to do these days.
I am happy that even in these hard times that everyone is counting their blessings large or small.
That’s excellent! We would really hate to see all those “I’m starving” complaints on the B&M thread. Not that starving isn’t B&M worthy.
Thanks! 
I have a date on Friday, is it weird that I’m 32 in 2 weeks and I’ve never been on a date?
I wouldn’t say weird—I have friends that started dating later in their life too—but maybe slightly unusual. But, anyhoo, good for you, and I hope you have nice time.
Happy almost birthday. Maybe you just finally realized you deserve a date. Have fun.
I did not date much in high school and then married the man I first dated in collage. Strange is relative.
Meh. Nobody’s keeping track.
Good luck.
You’ve been busy finding yourself, TNM. Don’t feel weird about that. You’ll be happier when one of your dates ends up being The One and you have peace about who you are.
Until you meet The One, though, go out there and have some fun.
Oh, and for the record: I didn’t date all that much before I got married either. I didn’t have a girlfriend until I was 23 (which seems really young now, but after four years of high school, four of college and one of grad school without one, it sure felt like a LONG time) and then, after some casual dating for a couple of years, I went and married the second girlfriend I had, proposing before we’d been going out even a year. Weird is, indeed, relative.
I can’t get a woman to return my phone calls let alone actually go on a date. So your one step ahead of me, Good Luck and Have Fun!
IMHO, what you’re doing is way better than the other extreme. And I’m saying this from experience with poly people with very dubious boundaries and priorities between their friends and significant others.
I am off to mom in laws for a swim with sis in law. Lady pool party!
So date is a good thing!
So… how exactly do such things work?
Is there a plan? you know like Dinner and a movie. or just coffee, or are you just going to wing it?
My best advise NO MATTER WHAT. is to be yourself, RELAX! in the great scheme of things, this is still a couple of hours out of one night. and if it goes bad, we will be here to help,(technicaly, we would be in the ‘life is teh suck’ thread) and if it goes well, we will be here.
don’t tell, right off the bat that this person will have to come here and meet the ‘hive mind’ for approval. don’t want to scare anyone away. (to soon)
and if it goes really bad, I have a shovel and big back yard!
