Post your worst date story!

by hungry4life in

with all the nice guy/bad boy and do looks matter posts doing so well i thought it might be fun to do a worst date ever post.. so here goes mine: about 3 years ago my married friend had a neighbor she was good friends with he was a young widower with 2 kids and she thought we might like to get to know each other.

so we agreed to meet for dinner at his apt (he lived 2 apts down from my friend so it did not seem awkward or unsafe).

he cooked spaghetti and afterwards pulled out the old photo albums.

My worst date was when I was a sophmore in high school and I was asked to go to the prom with a senior who I had a crush on. His girlfriend had broke up with him like a week before and so he asked me last minute. My parents said I could go but they had no money for a dress, so I had to borrow one from a friend. The dress was the ugliest thing you ever saw, baby blue with lots of lace and it was too big for me so it just hung on me.

Well, this guy gets his ear pierced like 2 days before the prom. I knew that when he came to pick me up and my dad saw the earring he would flip. So I asked him if he could take it out before he came to pick me up. So he did and we drove back to his house and his mom is trying to put the earring back in and his ear is bleeding. I was so embarrased.

Anyway we go to this hippie's house to buy alcohol before the prom. We get to the prom like halfway through it. I don't know anyone there. We didn't have any money for pictures because he had spent it all on alcohol. Then we leave early and he takes me to this makeout spot and tries to have sex with me, I wouldn't and he gets mad at me.

So then we go to this party where I know no one and it's all these cute chearleader types with pretty dresses. We leave there and go to this other party of people that didn't even go to the prom. So we are the only ones dressed up. It ended up being a drug house. The guy I was with was quite the druggie, I found out.

We finally leave there and he drops me off at 3 in the morning.

Lilacs,

My family also put up the Jesse James gang in their barn. According to family lore. Were your ancestors from Missouri?

What Prince Doing these days?

by Patriot in

does he go to all his meetings and comment at them?

and if he does, what do they call him?

"brother prince..you had a comment?".

Shimmer

How ironic! My prince tape was the only tape that my mother destroyed because of the "Darling Nikki" song. And now he's her spiritual brother. I can't wait to tell her.

Whats the dumbest thing you were counselled for?

by Beck_Melbourne in

jw
friends

i was once counselled by the elders for watching 'knots landing'....it became widely known in the congregation that me and a few other sisters would rush home from field service to watch our favourite soapie.

if we missed it, we would ring each other up for an update...or...if we weren't near a tv we would ask someone to put the phone handset on the top of their tv so we could hear it...pathetic huh...but that was all the excitement we could scrounge up in our otherwise dull and uneventful lives.

one of the elder's wive's conscience got the better of her...and she confessed to her husband..lol.

Shimmer

I was always being counseled for not keeping my kids quiet enough. I was NOT one of those mothers that spanked her kids for not being quiet during the meetings. And I think that pissed the elders off.

I was also told by this one fat-ass elders wife that I shouldn't bring dolls for my 1 yr. old daughter to play with, I should bring theocratic books for her to look at. I told her that my daughter wasn't interested in looking at those books. I wish I would have told her off.

Ranchette,

Are you talking about the guy who owns a crematorium (sp?) and instead of cremating the bodies he just dumped them around his property and tried to sell the body parts? Yeah, he's one sick puppy! Makes us Georgians look real good!

Your daughter's dress is too short

this is my very first post on this site and i am happy to be here.

i would like to rely a little experience to everyone.

recently, i went back to the kingdom hall after an absence of almost thirteen years.

Shimmer

There was a pioneer sister in my hall, who used to offer to sew in material for the teenage girls dresses, so they wouldn't be so low cut. (How sweet of her...not)

The worst case I saw was at an assembly. An overweight, diabetic, depressed sister from my hall was approached by a sister that she didn't even know that told her that she needed to put a blanket or a sweater over her legs because when people were walking up the stairs to their seats they could see up her dress. The sister from my hall was mortified and cried the rest of the assembly. I felt so bad for her. I know for a fact that you couldn't see anything but her legs, so I thought it was totally rude for that sister to say something to her. What a bitch!!

Wow, I can't believe you actually know the exact percentages of your cultural background.

I can't be that exact. In fact as my momma always says, I'm Heinz 57.

I got a little Irish, Scottish, German, English and American Indian. And that's just the ancestors I know about. My peeps got around

Things learned from th wee ones

by forgetmenot in

i got this forward a couple of days ago: .

for those who already have children past this age, this is.

hilarious.

Shimmer

Kids....gotta love 'em.

My son, after drinking soda, has the most horrendous burps you've ever heard. And can't seem to control them....at all. He let one of these monsters rip, while we were visiting at a friends house. Of course, being the responsible mother that I am , I promptly said "What do you say?" And he promplty responded "Man! That was loud!"

Or there was the time that we were going to a witness gathering and stopped to pick up an older sister that needed a ride. As we were getting out of the car and I was carrying my salad bowl in, my son blurts out "That's the bowl I throw up in!" I was mortified.

And there was the time out in service when he was about 3 or 4 when he said a cuss word in front of everyone. He wasn't in school yet so I couldn't blame it on that.

I could go on and on as to the amount of times that my children have made me want to crawl under a rock. Bless their little hearts.
