You're daughters wear what?!?!? oh shiny!

Yeah I want a silver wedding ring. Is that odd? I just don't really like gold.

My engagement ring is a Sapphire. It is actually one that we found at the gem mines. My hubby had it cut then had my ring custom designed after a ring I saw in a dream.

Our wedding bands are made from silver in honor of my late grandparents. Their wedding bands were made from silver nickels. When they got married they were too poor to buy rings so a friend made their rings out of nickels. He pounded them from the middle until they formed a ring. Ours were made from a coin that was melted down and cast, but they are still silver.
 

Back to the subject of the clothes - my husband went somewhere and called me to tell me they were now selling denim underwear. He was joking of course and talking about some shorts they had out on display. But he said I had undies that covered more than those shorts. :scared1:

Can't blame all of you for getting distracted, he is a nice looking guy and he seems really nice. Shocked he hasn't been snatched up by now.
 
My boss' 16 year old twins came by today. They are sweet girls, but I gotta tell ya' today they were dressed like hookers. One had on a teeny tiny skirt that barely covered her butt, a blouse cut down to her navel, thigh high tights and 4 inch heels. The other one had on a skirt that was just a little longer, tight sweater and slouch boots with a heel. They came to have lunch with mom and then head for the mall. I just don't get it.

:scared: AND :sad2:that they are "portraying" themselves that way and is it a wonder WHY boys look at them the way they do?????? And adults question their sanity the way we do???.....

I had to pop in at the HS last week....I was mortified that parents allow their Girls to go to school wearing this OR are these kids changing before school starts and not leaving home like this?????...
I saw
THONGS hanging out of their Tight Sweats (and I do NOT care that the sweats are Gucci or whatever), the SHORTEST skirts imaginable, ripped torn jeans (talk about sloppy looking) and cut off shirts...and its also WINTER...WTH?????

Talk about no self worth....whether they realize it or not, YES they are judged by the way they LOOK and ACT.
Personally I even commented to my HS ds and he was like, "typical" and he thought nothing of it.................just "reminded" him that because they DRESS like that they should still be respected by HIM regardless if they have no SELF respect! SCARY as the mom of a BOY!! :eek:
I wonder if parents are just so overwhelmed with so many things that they think this "issue" is just a small battle and not a "war" to fight. I think it is something that SHOULD be addressed......even at the SCHOOL level....

Ya know if he would only move to Albuquerque I would snatch him up in a heart beat. :rolleyes1
 
:laughing:

Though I am more a colored gemstone kinda gal. If I ever get married I don't want a diamond ring. Diamonds are overdone. I want a sapphire.

Ya know something like this...

Same here, except I'd prefer an emerald...and if I were to marry my current boyfriend, it would be his birthstone.
 
A few years ago while in the parks I saw a girl who couldn't have been more than 13 or 14 wearing a shirt that said future porn star. I couldn't believe her parents were letting her run around in that. :scared1:
 
I have been for quite some time. They let me vote, rent cars, and even pay taxes (my all time favorite!)

Too bad you don't live closer to DC... I can think of two women to introduce you to (which one would depend on which side of 25 you're on).... make that one.... I just read farther in the thread and saw your age. :)

Wow! :scared1: When I was 20 I went to a restaurant called D1ck's in Myrtle Beach (if you've never been to one or heard of them it's a restaurant where the servers are mean to you[in fun but some of it crosses the line], we didn't know it was like this until we had already ordered our food). I was with my very conservative family and the server made us all huge paper hats and wrote things on them. On mine he wrote "Best Stripper in America. $1 per lap dance" I, of course, didn't wear it but the 13 year old girl sitting at the table next to us with her family asked if she could have it and wore it the rest of the time and out of the restaurant (although I often wonder if that guy [our server] only thought I was worth $1! :rotfl:).
 
Man, just when you think this thread has gotten as far off topic as possible someone posts a disco ball.

I've never been to Albuquerque. Every time I hear it though I think of old Bugs Bunny cartoons.

I have some friends in DC and will be there next March to run the National Half Marathon. It's a great town but I don't think it is the kind of place I could live. Not only is it ridiculously expensive but I don't know if I could stand being surrounded by that many politicians.

Have I mentioned how much I love this thread? Thanks everyone, all joking aside it makes me feel good.

Well if you see above you are my prize for killing the thread. Come to Albuquerque and I will cook for ya. Ok maybe cook is overstating things. What I meant to say is I will get take out and make it look like I made it.

And don't worry about your place while you are away. Not that anyone is stalking you or anything but I watered your flowers today and someone wrote "Dust Me" on top of your entertainment center. Not sure who did that. :rolleyes1
 
Oooooh order from Sadie's. That would make me want to stay!

Wait what am I doing?!!?!? FD come to Chicago. Beautiful city, good food, and a lake!! What more could you ask for?
