I am outside on the phone and into my drive way on one of those monster buggys with wheels as tall as me pulls in a Tom Cruise look a like[only built better], with 4 kids on this buggy. He introduces himself and the kids, I[being ms slick], say to one of the little girls"how nice your dad takes you out on this buggy" "he isn't my dad, he's my uncle, he's babysitting". Apparently uncle is single and is babysitting. He says he heard some people bought the house, I explain that I own it by myself now as Keith has died, he lingers, keeps looking at me smiling...and then...takes a sip OF A FRIGGING BEER IN A COOLIE CUP...There went that fantasy...Yup...I am still VERY PARANOID...Marian

No, you are not paranoid. That was your gut, telling you this guy has NO SENSE at all. 4 kids with him and he's swigging on a beer, sheeeesh.

Yep, that would burst the fantasy bubble in a hurry for me too.

See how much you have grown!!!!!!!

Nice recovery marian!!!!!

Love and hugs,

Blechhhtt! Loser! Nice spotting Patch, and nice sense of judgement on your part. This guy has "loser" written all over him and I pray for those babies who where entrusted to him.

Man oh man.. what a loser.. and with the kids and in the buggy. Bad news!

I have been talking to a guy.. a couple of Emails a week and a few phone conversations... nothing real serious..

Well, he is from the midwest and wants to visit and I tell him I don't have the guest room set up yet (I need to buy a bed but I could not as I wanted to be rid of the debt first.. I am now rid of the debt so I need to save up for the spare bed).

He replies, "I hate to sleep alone. Why can't I just sleep wtih you?"

Uhhh.. NO.

I never met him in person and he wants to come visit, stay here and uhhh.. sleep with me? I don't think so!!!!

All done. He won't hear from me again.
What is it with these guys?

patchoulli

oh my god....what is wrong with these guys? Its too much.

liesagain

at least your finding that your "picker aint broken" and you were shown a clear sign that this is one who may look like a catch but needs to be thrown back........

funny thing as I was reading the post.......I was thinking ohhhh how sweet babysitting........entertaining the kids .....cute ............single .....starting to sound like a good thing....then BAM swigging beer = LOSER!!

patchoulli

yup...were you here?

Elana

Oh yeah.. it is so good to not have a broken picker anymore.

Well, this guy I WAS talking to had expressed some serious racist views in passing conversation.. something I don't tolerate. As a racist he has a negative opinion about people he doesn't even know other than their skin color or their heritage. How can he have a positive opinion about me.. cuz ya know.. I am a female so likely substandard too.

Well, as I have said, there are 6.6 billion people on this planet. If half are men, and 1/3 of them are my age, seems I have a LOT of choices!

Like some sort of magnetic we/or at least I always attract the "substance abusers" first.
We all have to be more careful the next time around
