I once had a guy pictured as an old guy who wore overalls, maybe missing a tooth, very country! When I met him I almost fell off my chair! Quite attractive! lol He told me that he had pictured me as an older woman who chain smoked! ewww (I have a rather distinctive voice, I suppose?) I've never smoked a day in my life! Still haven't quite figured out if he was pleasantly surprised or just trying to make the best of his own sense of shock!

they discontinued my chapstick. I'm going to make my own!

 If I was your santa I'd buy you a make your own chapstick  kit.  But I'm not.

 Do they seriously make those, or am I asking the "Dumb Chat Question of the Day"?

Chat made my eyes bleed and my head hurt and my stomach twist.

I'm going to step away from this alternate chat dimension and try again.

 I hear looking into the Ark of the Covenant does that to people, too.

 HA!

*maniacal giggling ensues*

 He has the exact same effect on me too!

but I have never had a student in whom I believe more strongly.  She is special, and her career could be major.

 I've been helping a faculty membe compose recommendation letters for his vocal students. Ha! He's a good BS-er!

We did a lot of traveling by car when I was a kid. My sister would never stay on her half of the back seat, necessitating territorial disputes and border skirmishes.

Which included pinching, hitting, hair pulling, kicking, biting. Quickly followed up with pulling over to the side of the road, screeching tires & warmed rear ends.

 My boys used to get mad at each other and say "He's looking out my window!" Good lord! And then on one memorable trip to Anchorage they had gotten on my last nerve and I stopped the truck and made them get out and stand there until we could all cool off! It was probably -30 below and all I told them was not to push each other into the river! It worked! (Does that make me a bad mother?)

Ha.  You want a bad mommy?  A few months ago I put my daughter out on the side of the road and drove away.  She had to run about a hundred meters to catch up. 

My mom actually walked out the door and said she was leaving without me, went outside and pulled out of the driveway and drove up the street and back to make a point because I wouldn't get my shoes on.

We were actually goofing around.  She wouldn't quit speaking with an English accent.  I was terrified, kept expecting something to swoop her away.  She thought it was really fun.

 lol My kids used to ask me to speak gibberish! Like it was a language or something! I could only do it for a short time before I felt completely idiotic but they would beg and beg! Wow, those were the good ole days!

Cerulean (is that how you spell that?) is the best color ever when it comes to crayons! And who can resist peeling the paper off so you never really know if you have blue-green or green-blue?

None of my current clothes fits correctly. How the frack could I not frackin' notice the frackin' date in relation to the frackin' wedding????

Ugh.

I hate it when my advancing years kick my ass like this. I was supposed to get my hair done as well. Frak.

And WHAT THE FRAK is dressy-casual?????

 Disclaimer: The following comment may be related to above post, but my also be completely random and not applicable to any comment ever made in Chat:

My oldest son is getting married on December 19, and as the mother of the groom, I am wearing nice dress slacks (gray, faux tweed), a nice (pricey for me at $50) silver cardigan w/jeweled buttons, with a dark teal cami underneath the sweater, and black heels. No dress, no over the top heels and no poofy hair/gaudy jewelry/dangly earrings, etc.

Does that sound dressy-casual? Does it sound tacky for a wedding?

kthnxbai

1 for and 1 against.  Anyone else want to chime in?  Chu, I hear you're pretty good at giving your opinion.

 Well, if you want an honest opinion: I persoanlly don't think they are very pretty. But, if you think your friend will like it then go for it.

*hates to give negative opinions!*

 *values honest opinions!*

The ones with painted flowers and animals look cheesy.  But I like the plain glazed ones.  I got her desert sand. 

 *wonders if pav was fishing for Secret Santa ideas?*

Perhaps he is just as insecure and unsure as you are. Otherwise, he would most likely have broken up with you by now. Neither of you are taking any active steps to improving the situation/relationship. As the saying goes, "If you keep doing the same old thing, you will keep getting the same old result." If one of you doesn't take an active step in making things change, they will not change. In my opinion, the two of you need to call things off for awhile, get some counseling/therapy and maybe gain some insight into why you are insecure and clingy, and then see if you are still interested in pursuing a relationship with one another.

What you have now is unhealthy; for both of you. Make a change! Make it happen! You will both be better off in the long run!

Best of luck and many prayers.
