Blind date

I want to apologize for any and all typos in my blog.  I do know that I have some.  Sadly, trying to fix them when typing on my tablet is very frustrating.  That's why I give up trying to fix them.  I wouldn't have a blog at all if I kept trying to fix them.  I would have thrown this tablet against a wall!  It's great so I can play games and stuff, but trying to get to the right place to fix typos is hard!  It's touch screen and the cursor never goes where I want to!

I am very hapy to report that my dad has been going to his radiation!!  He has also been making it to his chemo and to get his fluids!  I am so proud of him! A couple of weeks ago he wasn't feeling very well and said he was done going.  That they are putting too many chemicals in his little body!  For those of you who don't know, my Daddy is only 100 pounds!  I know that's hard to believe, especially if you know my sisters and I.  We are all big girls!  Well, Lisa isn't anymore.  She has lost 113 pounds.  I won't be next year!

So I have been trying to think of what stories I can share on here. I have quite a few that are pretty funny.  But I don't want to type anything that will come back to haunt my kids!!  LOL  That cuts out alot of them!  I also don't want to post anything to upset my family.  There goes another good chunk of them!!  That doesn't leave much!!

Ok I think I have one.  Quite a few years ago, I was big into Yahoo chat rooms.  I have met a few people from them as well.  A few of them I still "talk" to as well.  I have met some good people.  That being said, I have met some that I wish I hadn't!  So I started talking to this guy from downstate, I really can't remember his name now.  Let's call him Joe.  Anyways, Joe and I had chatted for a couple of months.  We seemed to have a lot in common, movies, books, music, religious & political views, dancing.  Yeah, I said it, dancing!  I know it might not look like it, but I can cut a rugwhen I want to.  Course it might not be pretty, but I do love to dance!

Ok back to my story.  So Joe tells me that he has to come up here for work.  He was an insurance adjuster.  He had to come up here and wanted to take me out.  I agreed to dinner and then downtown for drinks and dancing.  An important part to the story is, I had never seen him.  He didn't have a picture.  I had a picture on my profile and never lied about myself.  I didn't think he was going to look exactly how he described, but I didn't know how far off his description was going to be!

I met him at the Comfort Inn.  I gotta tell ya, I looked GOOD to!!  I walked down the hall to his room, knocked on the door, and there he was.  He said he was 6'2", more like 5' 7".  He said he was 225 pounds, more like 325.  He said he had brown hair, he forgot to mention the comb over! I know, I know, don't be so shallow!  I mean, I am a big girl, so don't knock it that he's a big boy.  But I do!  I mean, I have a type.  Just like everyone else. It happens to be tall and skinny He was neither!  But, I cannot be mean, to his face.  I have to go through with the date.

He tries to invite me into his room.  Ahh NO!  I told him we should get going to dinner.  All the time trying to come up with a plan to get out of the date.  Did I mention that he had his pants pulled up to his chest with his dress shirt tucked into them?  He looked like an old college professor.  Not a hot one either!  Now I know I have no business making fun of the way he dressed when everyone knows that I dress like crap lately.  But back then, I dressed really nice.  I wasn't as big as I was recently.  I had some cute clothes.  I mean, I Looked GOOD!!

Ok back to the story...So we went to get in his truck to drive to Studebakers.  He wanted to take me to the Ojibway but I really didn't want anyone to see me! So I suggested Studebakers.   On the way there I stared telling him about my sick son.  How he had been throwing up all night.  That my Mom was babysitting him while I was out but she really doesn't like to watch him when he's sick!  We get toStudebaker and get seated.  I ordered a salad, he ordered a steak dinner.  I knew I was getting out as fast I can, so I didn't want to spend a bunch of his money.  I'm not that mean!  while we are waiting for our food, he starts talking about how exciting it was that we met on the internet.  He's LOUD!!  I know, so am I, but not when it's something embarrasing!!  The waitresses behind us were laughing!  I just wanted to crawl under the table!

Our food comes, he continues to talk while he is eating, food falling all down the front of him.  I couldn't even make eye contact.  What a mess!  I have to get out of here!  He's talking about going dancing, I'm talking about calling my mother to see how my son is in case I have to go get him!  When dinner is over, I go to the payphone to call Jules. No I didn't have a cell phone.  Jules was my partner in crime back then.  We had loads of fun!  But that's more stories for later.  So I call Jules, "Help! Help!" she starts laughing and asking how its going.  She was downtown at The Frog, waiting for us to come down after dinner.  There were a few of our friends hanging out with her, waiting to meet him.  "It's awful!"  I tell her.  She wants to know if we are coming to go dancing, I'm telling her I'll be coming, without him!  I tell her my escape plan and to come looking for me if I don't show up soon.

I head back to the table and tell him I can't go dancing, I have to go home.  Its at this point that I'm thinking he's figured out that I really don't like him and am trying to ditch him!  He leaves the table to go call his daughter and he's gone for so long that I start to think that he's ditching me with the bill!  I have enough money to cover my salad but not his steak dinner!  I start to panic, but he finally comes back to the table!  That was the only time I was glad to see him!  So he drives me back to the Comfort Inn, where my car is
