This is why I NEVER tell my parents I'm seeing someone until it's gotten to being an actual "relationship," whatever that means.

Hil is me. My parents just don't need to know things.

I’m 33 and my parents have never met anyone that I’ve dated. I would be ita, except that they live 10 minutes away from me. Whenever there is a family event, my mother always makes a point of asking me if I’m inviting anyone.

Then hmm, let's see...the first guy I was (ahem) physically intimate with? His mother pulled a gun on me. That'll pretty much cool off any relationship.

Now, you have to tell that story, you can’t tease us like that.

Calli, your mother will be very please. Lovely pictures. Pretty color top too. (Hee on the disappearing bottom)

I'm pale when compared to many of my Florida friends, but look nearly latte when compared to the group here. I have no freckles. My Bobby does and they are too cute for words. I tan if I try, but I avoid the sun. Just walking from buildings to the car gets me plenty of color.

Nice pics, Calli. I love your haircut.

Great pictures, Calli!

My platelet attendant loveses me because she never has trouble finding my veins.

ION ~ OMG I have so much to do today. Half of the department is out today, my counter-part included, and I swear I don't even know where to start. I know that posting here isn't going to help me get anything done. And yet...

Also - let it be noted that I started this post at least 15 minutes ago. I was about to post when a co-worker came in to chat. Right when he was leaving, I saw another co-worker walk by my office and I had to chase her down to check out her new hair-do. I should get some kind of prize today for my time wasting skills.

If this is a goal for the day, may I suggest you check your e-mail?

My veins are very visible, even though I'm not pale. But they like to play hide and seek when it comes to my IV's. So annoying.

eta - I can spell. Stooooopid headache.

The pictures are great, Calli! I like the one you said you'd probably give to your mom -- you look really happy in it.

This is me, too, and I've never understood it. They're right there! All blue! But when I had to have an IV before surgery, the nurse tried three times to start the IV and couldn't get it, so I went into the OR stone stober. Not nice.

I know this isn't the crafts thread, but I wanted to make sure Teppy would see it -- How to make a wallet out of a pair of Batman undies.

We have a crafts thread? Where have I been???

My parents just don't need to know things.

My philosophy for about 30 years has been "what my mother doesn't know won't hurt me."

Hee -- Minearverse is the unofficial crafts thread, because it seems to be the commonest off-topic topic.
