Rocky ~ It sounds like you had a nice time with good friends - including a brand new friend! If she didn't like you, she wouldn't be going to the Comedy Barn! And she DEFINITELY wouldn't have agreed to ride with you! So relax - she already knows you have a "continence issue" ( to put it in a non-ab/dl context!!! ) YOU'LL be the lucky one on that ride - no need to hide behind a tree! Have a great time and play it by ear - bet if you relax and enjoy her company, you'll find that she really does think you're sweet! AND that she'd probably like to see you again without chaperones! (No, "sweet" is NOT dating death - it means you're sweet, silly!!!!!) Can't wait to hear more! BabyJilly

Dolly - With any luck, he'll never know what a commotion he stirred - we certainly didn't laugh until AFTER school! The other kids didn't seem to notice anything - and luckily, our preschool topic for the week was "fairy tales" - so we all made magic wands - the kind with stars on the end that Harry Potter and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, used. And honestly, I think we all have those "cringe" moments that we recall in horror, but that no one else remembers at all, or who don't remember the embarrassment of it. I, too, have a couple of moments in my past that remain MORTIFYING to me - my sister and friends from back then have a totally different recollection of events. And on a separate note - this is very rural North Carolina, where things can be - well, different. However - as in most cases - sensitive and caring teachers, which we are very lucky to have - can help turn tragedies into triumphs! Thanks for caring, Dolly! babyjilly

Here are a few: "When you get to the fork in the road, take it." - Yogi Berra "It ain't over 'til it's over" - Yogi Berra "You can't have everything. Where would you put it?" - Steven Wright "There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot," - Steven Wright And in the "from the mouthes of babes" department: Kid brings in a battery operated vibrator for show and tell. Says, "Mommy says its her magic wand." (This one is true - the preschoolers were curious, we were speechless, then couldn't stop laughing!) babyjilly

Oh, Rocky! You GOTTA let us know how it went!!!!!! And we want to know all about that date, too!! LOL! (Nice ride, guy!) Have fun! Jilly

Rocky, honey - Relax! She is as nervous as you are - maybe more. Believe me - I've been on QUITE a few blind dates! (What should I wear? Its casual - does that mean dressy casual or casual casual? Is a casual skirt too dressy? Are dressy jeans too casual? Holy cow, I'm amazed that most women get out the door within HOURS of the target DATE, let alone the target time!!!) Anyway, remember that you are just going out with friends - and maybe meeting a new friend. If friendship develops, great! THEN, you can worry whether its more than friendship, and THEN worry about the diaper thing. And if it's a disaster, be nice, smile and have a beer - her sister and/or neighbor might be your soulmate. (My worst blind date: the guy got busted for marijuana possession while I was in the ladies room. BUT, I ended up dating the cop that busted him!) Good Luck, Sweetie! babyjilly
