I only hope he doesn't end up on AMHD asking about girls. ;)

Alty, you know we would take care of him like our own. :)

Does that mean we plan on beating him senseless with his own words till he gives in ?

Oh, I'm not worried about the advice he'd get, I just think he's too young to be interested in girls yet. ;)

If he has to ask someone, I'd hope that if he can't come to me, he'd come here. I know you'd all take care of him for me, make sure he's on the right track. That's one thing I know I can count on. :)

I'm just not ready for my little boy to date.

Chin whiskers and shaving? No! He's recently started using underarm deodorant. That was a big enough shock for me. I'm not ready for razors and shaving cream. :(

Sigh. Where did the time go?

I saw that thread, great advice Kit ;)

Not funny. ;)

He does have a crush on one of the girls in his class. He's liked her since last year, and they're both going to the same junior high next year, so he's giddy about that.

She's adorable, I have to say that he has good taste. So far it's all been innocent. He gave her a gift for Christmas last year, and she gave him a hug. That's it. I'm just waiting for the day that he asks me if he can go on a date.

What's the age limit most parents have for dating now? Personally, I think no one on one dating until 16. Is that too strict? Not strict enough?

I don't mind him going on group dates when he's 14, but no one on one. Am I dreaming?

I'm not ready for this. :(

Kit, I know you'd never do that. If you knew it was my son posting, you'd tell him to stay home, read a book, and not make his mother a nervous wreck. ;)

I'll bet he's a little charmer:) A nice one.

In truth it varies by the child. But at his age so long as parental supervision is right there and its just ice cream or pizza then it might be OK. But absolutely no alone time. And reguler dating (one on one) Id say maybe after they start collecting their pension would be a starting place ;)

What makes you think he'll tell you he's going on a date

He could tell you he's going out with friends and you won't be the wise ;)

I would tell him just as I did my own. It would be the right thing.:D

He is, that's what worries me. He's my kid through and through. He could charm the skin off a snake. ;)

He's a good kid, but he's not a teen yet. Right now he still loves his mom, and that's the way it should stay ;). He's such a sweetheart. The other day I wasn't feeling good, so he made dinner. Yes, it was only Mr. Noodles (the only thing he can make) but it was so sweet. My daughter made toast to go with it, the set the table, served and everything. I had tears in my eyes.

Ya, I know, I'm just a big sap. :(

Pension. LMAO!

I always tell my husband that the first time a boy calls asking for my daughter, we're moving to the middle of nowhere, deep woods, no cable, no computer, no phone. Nothing.

She can date when she's 35, or I'm dead, whichever comes first. ;)

Na, I'm not that much of a worry wart. I'm hoping that whenever they're on a date they'll hear my voice in their heads telling them to be careful. I expect them to make mistakes, I'd just really like to avoid the bigger ones.

Ichiban.

Okay, got to go pick up the rug rats from school.

I'll be back later.

Be good while I'm gone, and watch Bear, he's a sneaky one. ;)

The goofy-acting human characters Mr. Noodle, Mr. Noodle's Brother, and Miss Noodle all appear in Sesame Street 's "Elmo's World" segments

Mr. Noodle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think what they call it here is top ramen. Looks the same anyway.

Mr. Noodles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Instant noodles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yup, it's ramen, but we call it Mr. Noodles (brand name) or Ichiban. My kids love it. It's cheap. It's easy to make. It's quick to make. It's loaded with message and salt. Yup, what's not to love? ;)

Check any college dorm. It's a staple. And I like it too :)

Used to get it sometimes at McDonald's in Hawaii... :) Kids called them "skinny noodles".

They have ramen in McDonalds in Hawaii! Cool! They have to call it McRamen. ;)

Yep... was odd at first to see them. Enough cultural differences from the mainland to be interesting and unique, like the ramen, but enough similarities to remain familiar and comfortable.

Super Noodles for the win :cool:

Super noodles? LOL! :)

Doula, in Germany, they have beer at McDonalds. Yup, you can buy McBeer. :)

McBeer... Yummo :)

No, no it isn't

I have to agree with Bear. McBeer may be beer, but it's not great beer. It's not even good beer. It's "if this is all that's available, fine, I'll drink it" beer.

Considering that German's really know their beer, they sluffed off when it came to McBeer.

Okay, got to go, going to a party, got to get pretty. It takes a while at my age. ;)

Bye all.

Okay, really got to go get pretty. Where to start? Where to start? This may take a while. :(

Night all.

Night Alty... have fun!

Yeah.

Well.

I really like a good, quality beer.

But I must confess...

Even the worst orgasm I had was pretty damn good all things/ possible icky scenarios considered.

;)

So... do I have to do all the work?? Man... its like missionary on a 27 degree incline without a toehold... might not be the best evah... but its better than nada. I've had nada. I know.

Uhm...

I'm out of cohol and I don't remember the OP'd ? And I don't care to arrow up. It is against my present belief system.

This is not going to end happily for me, is it? Pooh.

*nothing to see here. Move on, folks. Move on*

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

<red singing louding using a budweiser bottle for a microphone, are you entertained?>

Hey doula!

This morning I had great intentions of completing evaluation forms for the course I'm doing (life coaching)... im a course junkie,and tend to take up courses that take my fancy,just for the craic.. however its not really going to plan.

So far,I've taken out the material,looked at it for several minutes,fed ciara and the animals,played air guiter with ciara to a guns and roses concert on TV,and surf the net for about 2 hours.

I justify this laziness by saying I've all weekend to do stuff.

Air guiter is very important for ciara's musical education :rolleyes:
