Dating Tips

“absoflippinlutely!!”

“PS. What do I know? I haven't been on a first date in about 16 years. I did have a date this past Friday though! Persian food and Star Wars episode VI.”

“well ok then”

“Paintball would be awesome! Race go carts or play putt putt.”

“big - Freebird only works in the South.”

“Yeah, find out what the trendy restaurants are in in your part of the world, then look for something going on nearby. If the dinner goes well then you can suggest going on, if not then you can run for your life.”

“Carlette's new man bit?”

“Yup.”

“Gosh, I'm giving bizarro dating tips. The one I joked about was a keeper.

Any lakes around? Picnic and kite flying?”

“HEY HE'S HOT!!!..and he's got non-slip features on his gloves...grrrrrrr”

“Nice and sweaty in 100 degrees too.”

“...and built-in "protection" too...”

“nothing like the feel of kevlar brushing across your thighs.

“How come those guys on the lumberjack sports shows are never wearing anything more than blue jeans and a t-shirt?”

“what is that git up made of...would it actually keep you from loosing a limb?”

“Well, not if the guy from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was after you. But if you had a chainsaw slip or buck up on you, it would keep you from being seriously injured.”

“but it would cut thru that right? Looks like heavy duty stuff but not armor.”

“It's Kevlar. Eventually the chainsaw would go through it, yes, but it's better than bluejeans or bare skin.”

“I've been planning to cut down a small tree in my yard...but really fear the chain saw. I need to borrow that dudes duds.”

“How small is small?”

“definately something where you can interact - I second the mini golf, paintball, picnic, kite thing, kayaking, hiking, etc...if you hit it off doing that you can always go out later.”

“Just make sure that you are in a public place if meeting for the first time.”

“--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“How small is small?”

12 inch diameter”

“Yah, that way if she goes psycho on you, there will be witnesses for the restraining order.”

“How tall is it?”

“You guys could have had a shot at Newgirl if you'd gone for the Cowboy-Logger look!”

“stand by bit....”

“I can't believe there is a simultaneous discussion of dating ideas and diameter/length measurements.”

“Sorry IJ....minor sidetrack from the dating scene. Bit...its that tree to the left of the peeled up grass.

”

“That big pine? If you don't have any practice taking down a tree that size, you should get a pro to do it.”

“Gee, the good news was, it missed the house.”

“yeah well I'm hard headed. Thats not a BIG pine. Ive analyzed this thing and if it falls toward the photographer it won't hit a power line. Hey I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night!”

“Yah, but what about the photographer?”

“On my first date with BowlderGal, I didn't have enough cash to cover dinner - oops!!”

“and if it falls toward the photographer

It's that IF part that should push you towards a pro. Will your homeowners cover you if you drop a tree on your house? The tree companies insurance willl cover it, provided you get one with insurance.”

“Suuuuuuuuure.

“I locked my keys in my car on a date. I think it was a first date. That person is now married to wifes cousin, so I see her at holidays. Pretty funny.”

“Well geez, BowlderMan, if you hadn't ordered the whole Big Mac meal, you probably would have had enough cash!”

“i think it certainly takes a pro to handle a big 12"er like that.

i don't care what kind of safety equip. you got.

no offense, i just don't think you're qualified to handle one that big carlette.”

“Or, if it bucks back and spears through the wall of your house?”

“Ahhh, let the innuendo begin!”

“yeah I'm not...but I still want to do it. There's no top in that tree its just trunk which makes me think the margin for error is decreased. Dayhiker's notion is what has left me just pondering if I could for 6 months rather than crankin'er up.”

“carlette, i'm sure you want to. what girl wouldn't?

but like you admit, you're just not qualified to handle one that big, regardless of the head size.”

“If you could what for 6 months?

If it's just trunk, then you might consider cutting a wedge out of the bottom, looping a rope up high, borrowing a truck and just pull it over?”

“pull it over... right on top of the truck which is tied to the tree?”

“Here's a first date idea: Help her cut down a tree in her yard.”

“Longer rope than tree height ya big dummy.”

“Sacco....you're right. :\

Dayhiker...the notion of if it fell on my house or God forbid my neighbors...kept me pondering if I could cut it down myself.

“sacco - the bigger question about her inability to handle 12" is why would she want to? A kids head is bigger than that and it all works, but that doesn't mean you want that experience too often.”
