Half your age +7 mate, you're cutting it fine on that old creep line
Good thing you have some good karma built up. You've got a wig coming to you no doubt.
I live near Munich and once met my sister with her 2 toddlers at the subway (30 mins from our hometown, she uses the subway like twice a year). She said "Oh great to see you. I hoped I might meet you to help me with the kids on our way home." I also meet family at random places at the Oktoberfest all the time. :D
I still don't get the whole "old enough to serve your country but too young to have a beer" thing. If an 18 year old is mature enough to make major life decisions regarding family (getting married) and career (picking a major or joining the army) then they're mature enough to have a bloody drink.
Lived in Wisconsin. One miserable, cold January, my girlfriend and I escaped winter and took a road trip down to Florida. Living it up in the Florida Keys, and having the time of our lives. She had an another week or so off work, but I had to go back to my job. So we left paradise to go back to the cold wintery hell, only to have my boss tell me when I got back that work was slow, and to take an additional 2 weeks off work..
Did anyone actually think a PANDEMIC would last less than a year??
You took a pregnancy test to prank your boyfriend? How on earth are you responsible enough to become a parent.
"We waited 7 years for a time machine to be invented, so we could go back in time and attend your wedding, but they didn't manage to invent one. Sorry"
is Javiera Gotelli going for the record for most disliked person on BP or something? If so, they're doing well.
I guess when she gets banned from the site she’ll understand it isn’t a game. People like that are just pathetic
Load More Replies...In the early 80's my dad, a very, very white man, drove his Dodge Omni with me in the carseat to Detroit to take me to the zoo. He took a wrong turn and ended up in the bad part of town. A Cadillac with tinted windows pulled up next to him, rolled down the window and a large black man said "You in the wrong neighborhood." Then he gave my dad directions to the zoo and handed me a 20 to "Buy something fun." I only know the story second hand, but I have a stuffed tiger from the Detroit Zoo that I bought with my own money.
Similar thing happened to my very white mom, about 20 yrs ago. She got lost in a neighborhood in Detroit. Young black man jumped into the passenger seat and told her "Lady, it ain't safe here." And he gave her directions to get back on a main road.
