OK, homework. grin

Here's how it works. I did something I had never done before. I'll tell you about it and what I learned if anything, then PICK someone else, and they have to do something they have never done before, tell us about it and then pick someones else to do something ......

It doesnt matter how trivial it seems, as long as it's something you have NEVER done before.

This is obviously going to be a slow game due to it not just being open to all takers. Bear with it, it might take off, time will tell.

So today I painted a canvas. Apparently I'm a cubist, a very bad cubist grin
If you've never painted with oils, I'd highly suggest it. The feel of a nice brush allows you to actually feel the texture of the cloth for the first couple strokes. You might even be able to paint thumbs up

So this is where I "tag" the next person.

Lorraine, care to give it a go? ......

"It is I - Lorraine". (Gibs - I am so very glad that you are back).

I have never scored a goal while playing woman's hockey. "It" just never happened! I pick "Bailey" to make the next move.

Lorraine.

Hi Bailey,

It is I who messed up. I was supposed to pick something new that I have done, but have never done before.

So - - - last night - with "Gibs" help and input - I did some very serious flirting with a new, older man, on the telephone. I have no clue where the relationship may go. However, "Gibs" gave me some very needed information about who was Ophelia in Shakespeare's "Hamlet".

So the new thing that I did was to do some very serious flirting with an older man. I have never done that before. I am fifty years old and I generally prefer younger men.

So - "Bailey" - if I have got the rules right - I pass the game onto you!

Cheers,

Lorraine.

Yes Bailey, she basically cheated laugh

The intent was to get people to step a wee bit outside their shells. Perhaps Lorraines just doesn't want to slow the game down with all that going and doing something NEW laugh

Sorry L, had to be said tongue

Hi Gibs,

As I have written it was I who messed up with my understanding of the new game. However, I seriously did some new "flirting" last night on the telephone with a much older man. "It" was a new experience for me! I learned that I can still be very nervous!

Cheers,

Lorraine.

P.S. I still pick "Bailey" to make the next move!

Last night.... at the pub, a bunch of us we sitting around having a drink. I was completely tunned out of the conversation "gauking" at an attractive woman. So, one of my buddies noticed this. He said to me:
"forget it man."...i replied "why?"

my friend said....she's a laywer, my cousin is using her in a custody battle.

Anyway, without all the babble, i was then dared by my loving bunch to go talk to her.

This may not seem big but i never do such things so it was huge to me. As my profile reads i am shy. I rarely if ever appproach someone first, and this was extremelly out of my comfort zone.

I took some time to try to make eye contact....smiled....awhile later we did from across the room. And well a few corona's later i felt more confident and approached her. We talked for a bit and well she gave me her card and said she'd love to be my find! Yahoo for me....


Hmmmm, now i pass this on too...Kaytine76

NO!!! I posted this morning that it was Pucks' turn- this afternoon he said that last night he got a phone number...ahem...I suck in math- but how could you have done something new last night, if I didn't tell you it was your turn until this morning???
So, now darlin, you've not only stepped out of your comfort zone & asked for a phone number but now you have to do something you've never done before----oh I know, you could say GO HABS GO!!! bet you've never said THAT before!! heeheheheh
