God I hate bad first dates.

Please elaborate.

 

[wilheldp_PE]

Um...nothing like her picture, personality nothing like our previous communication, couldn't carry a conversation with a bucket, awkwardly asked for my cell number at the end of the date, etc. Just the slow motion train wreck I feared. That was the 2nd worse first date I've been on. The first one, I literally had to drive the conversation. By the end, I just gave up and we sat in silence for almost a half hour.

^ Elabotate. I didn't even make it to the first date.

 

[Krakosky]

Did she have a big butt?

Bad first dates are kind of a blessing - at least you don't waste even more time with someone only to later find out they were trying way too hard to be compatible with you. Did you meet this lady through the interwebz or did a friend set it up?

Heh heh.

I believe it was referred to as a "tank ass"...

 

[YMZ PE]

Quiet, Dex. You haven't had to market yourself since 2001.

 

[Krakosky]

Is it slim pickings out there or am I just not looking hard enough? Not that I'm looking all that hard to begin with besides being on eharm.

 

[YMZ PE]

Things just happen when they're supposed to happen. If you ask anyone in a long-term relationship how they met their partner, most of time they'll say it happened organically and through little of their own effort.

 

[Krakosky]

True. I've always heard that too.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

Mine started by complete chance, you couldn't make this shit up. Ended 11 years later in Middlesex County Family and Probate Court. Would have been better if it was Buttsex County.

 

[Krakosky]

^ lol. I just created a separate thread for this.

 

[wilheldp_PE]

Met her on Match. She had a big...everything.

 

[Krakosky]

^ lol. Did she use old pics in her profile? Did you end up giving her your number?

 

[wilheldp_PE]

Yeah, they were definitely old photos. She has my number, but I also have hers for call-screening purposes.

 

[Krakosky]

So I guess she will not be going on a 2nd date with you...

 

[wilheldp_PE]

Not unless she goes all Misery on me.

 

[Chucktown PE]

^ As long as you don't wreck your car in her front yard you should be okay.

going back to the ceiling fan topic...never have or will have a remoted fan. The house when we bought it has ceiling fan in almost every room. They all looked like they were from the 90s. Some looked newer but were walmart specials sort of things. We painted all but 3, of that we replaced one with a hampton bay fan from menards and a hunter fan from Lowes. Less than a year later the motor went on the hamptonbay one and the manufacturer said to take it back to menards for replacement which they did...they still had the same fan. SInce then no problems with that one. One of the painted fans just died this past winter and we replaced it with a Hunter fan. We have had no problems with it once we got it installed...I have no idea how the other fan last so long with the bad wiring to it.
