My Most Memorable Date Part II


When I got back to the first motel, it was just after 9pm.... and the keeper had shut off all the lights, and closed up for the night....
I said "oh no"... it had only been 5 minutes tops to check out the other motel... I got out of the car, and knocked on the door.... no answer.... knocked louder..... no answer...... finally I pounded on the door... still no answer.... now I began to get into panic mode, as the snow was inundating the land....

I went back to my car, and dimming the lights to park lighting, to conserve the declining electrical current, I leaned on my horn.... and just held it......
After about 2 minutes, a light came on in one of the guest bedrooms, then another, then another..... the guests were awakening, but not the keeper... Finally after about a forever, the keepers light came on........

I rushed to his door.... he answered, arriving with a very large baseball bat, and before he could utter a word, I let it out....

"Look," I said softly "Its snowing out here, and this guy needs a room"... In gentle crescendo I continued... "I have a car that is running low on gas, my heater isn't working well, my lights are continuing to get dimmer, and I have no snow tires on my car"......In louder crescendo I continued.... "this guy has no place to stay, and the motel up the street was closed"..... "I just got back from a long trip so I was trying to limit my expenditures, and this guy has no money"....... In even louder crescendo I exclaimed..."Its after nine o'clock at night, and I have a girl in the car that needs to be home by midnight, or face the consequences from her dad, who is twice the size of your motel building, and you're trying to play games with me!"...."Now heres your $25.... get this guy a room!" As I walked back to the car, the hitchiker said thanks, saying he would send me the money back...(he had my address)..... I said ok... and jumped into the car to get the heck out of there....

The snow had made a mess of everything.... I could only go 30 miles an hour the whole way home, to which I didn't arrive till 4am....
When I got to the door her father met me there.... glaring at me, I said "Now hold on!" holding out my outstretched arms, "I know you wont believe this but........" and proceded to tell him the story... He sat silently and listened... then... he got up... paced the floor alittle... then after what seemed an eternity, held out his hand saying....."Noone" he said...... "could make up a story like that, without it being true.... I am glad you got my daughter home safely." I never breathed such a sigh of relief as I did that day.......

By the way... the next day... I looked at that roadmap I thought was new.... It was dated 1959... and it then being 1980, there was a brand new freeway that went to Vermont, that I didn't even know about...... I really love New England.............

RE: What was your first ever date like?

My First Most Memorable Date..... Part I

I was living in Massachusetts.... I had just returned home from a long backpack trip to Europe, arriving the day before Thanksgiving. There was a girl who just turned 18 (I was 22)... she lived three doors down from my grandmothers, which whom I was staying...

It was the week after Thankgiving, and I had gottten my car out of storage (my uncles corn field), so I asked her out on a date that Monday... which she accepted... we decided on the next Saturday night...

On Saturday morning I drove to Boston for some Boston Bruin tickets and a walk through Fanuiel Hall, with a stop at the Olde Oyster House.

On my way home there was a guy hitchiking (autostopping) with a backpack.... It was late afternoon, and it conjured memories of 8 or more hours trying to catch a ride on France's roads.... one memory in particular in which I was ill trying to get back to Paris, at about the same hour... So I picked him up.. he was going to Montpelier Vermont... I really felt for him, knowing he wouldn't be able to get a ride their that day, so I offered to let him stay the night with me at my grandmothers.... forgot all about my date...

When I brought this guy in the house, my grandmother was livid.... There was no way she was going to let him stay there and "murder us in our beds"....lol It was just about that time that Diane... my date... dropped by to tell me she was excited about our date.... UH OH...

But then, miraculously, I had a stroke of genius... For our date, I would drive my hitchiker guest home to Vermont... I looked at the map... it wasn't that far, there was a road... that looked easy to drive...
So.. I asked Diane, and she said I better talk to her dad, whom I had never met... He would be home from work as a mechanic, by 5:30... Fine...

Now I'll tell you..... you know the stereotypical father who is a hard worker, with double sized hands able to crush concrete cinder blocks, standing over 6 feet tall, lean, with a chestfull of hair blooming out of the top of his shirt , and full five oclock shadow? THAT was her dad...

I explained to him the situation... he knew I was capable with cars... with numerous cross country road trips... he said "OK... But be home by 12, and dont be late" Even though 18 is legal age, some things in New England remain a constant....

We set out on the trip.... the road however was smaller than I thought.... I was reading a road map... brand new one in fact I had bought at a yard sale... We talked and laughed... I had plenty of road stories to tell about Europe, and everything was fine...

About an hour or so into the trip it began to snow ever so lightly... we loved it, as it was the first snow of the season... wasn't much to be concerned about... was a mere dusting....

That dusting of snow began to pick up... I began to think about my lack of snow tires, and was also wondering why it seemed so long to get anywhere quickly... Soon the snow started really coming down... my car's heater wasn't the best, the tires began to give traction, and it seemed like my headlights weren't as strong... in fact they seemed to be dimming....and I was anticipating finding a few more open gas stations along the way... after about an hour of that, the snow began to come down in almost blizzard fashion... I said theres no way I can do this anymore...so I pulled into the nearest town and located a motel....where I attempted to negotiate a cheap room for the hitchiker...

The keeper wouldn't budge, and suggested the place down the road, to which had by this time turned into a snowfield.....So I found the road, and drove to the other place, it was closed.... I was really beginning to worry, so I went back to the first motel...........

RE: What's ur lucky number?

Actually... I just remembered by lucky number is 35 BLACK.........

RE: Have you ever texted the wrong person?

There is more to this story...... It actually went on for days... and I actually texted back for more photos, even more explicit.... which were obliged.....

If you think me cruel, think again..... this woman cheated me out of paying for work I had done for her...... so I considered it payment well recieved......

And no.... I did not sell the photos to get my money back, just printed them into bubble gum cards......

RE: Have you ever texted the wrong person?

I never texted the wrong person..... But the wrong person texted me, and with some very explicit photos to boot!.......

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?.....................................................

Dang!...... You just stomped all over my manhood!......

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?.....................................................

Well I think that is too bad.... I use it humorously.... like I am actually at a location meeting someone.... usually the first thing I ask is: "Hello, is anyone sitting here?" or...... "Excuse me..... I couldn't help myself but I (then mention something in their profile)" something like that.... off the wall.... make it fun.....

Dang...... I'm giving myself away!...


Oh well...... Its not the first time I've blown my cover.....

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?.....................................................

When you go to the pub, do you wall yourself off from any potential contact with people? And if not, do they need your formal permission to approach you? Kind of like a victorian messenger?

An IM is sort of an off the wall way of introducing yourself to someone you are attracted to spontaneously...... Some people might be tickled at the notion, and the surprize of meeting someone without premeditation can be exhilerating....

Then again, some people have to plan two weeks out to go on a date... I guess it depends on each individual person....

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?.....................................................

This makes sense........ at least it is a plausible reason.........

I used to have an alter ego profile I used to test all the comings and goings of this site...... sending myself IM's, emails, used the block feature... etc etc etc just to learn about the ins and outs of the site.... but the Mods blocked my alter ego out in a big shakeup that occured about a year ago, when we had another run of really rude people causing a ruckus in here.... they went in and compared computer information, and blocked additional profiles through one computer.... was too bad too, as I had a roomate for awhile who couldn't get on the site using the house computer.........

RE: What's ur lucky number?

7 times the square root of the precise area of an obtruse rectangle, measuring 105.437 centimeters in length, and 42.9985 centimeters in with with a relative propotional angle of 82 degrees........
Divide that by the overall area square meter dimension of a circle having a diameter of 14.73 meters and add that to the number of cigarettes in a pack of Camel Wides....... If after all that, you come up with a number differant than 4 you are wrong..........

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?.....................................................

Whats your IM address again?.........

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?.....................................................

The sender is notified when the window is closed.........

And..... the reciever does get a noitification who is IMing them.....

Rather than open the IM and not respond, ...... just dont respond!.........

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?.....................................................

Ok.... I get the point.... but isnt it tempting to say hello to someone, or having someone say hello completely off the cuff..... or does it always have to be formalized........????

There isn't any confusion, I believe.... because the window opens... it states the window is open.....
So you type away and never get a response...... I do agree with you... however, i am not talking about rejection of an IM, I am talking about an IM connection being verified, with no response..... nothing....
The window opens, you type away, and absolutely no response..........Whats up with that?....

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?.....................................................

I take precautions!



When I am writing, and I ask someone to write back, I always use hand signals.... I hold my left hand up when I am writing to assure they know I am asking them to write back ...... there could be no confusion......

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?.....................................................

I dont mean anything like that.... I am saying... a hello, how are you, sort of thing.... not anything unlike you would say face to face to someone..........

Your favorite neighborhood bar......

So........ we are short on bar people here....... thats ok.... let the bar devils expose themselves for their open wretchedness!.......
