Dagny 0 #26 December 29, 2003 QuoteSo what does a swamp look like from 13,000 feet? Looks like a bad place to land... I got the when are you planning on getting married question, too. Oh! And my next favorite question...when are you going to have kids? While I'm still recovering from the shock of that one, they proceed to explain their reasoning to me. You know you're getting older. It gets harder to have kids. Are you going to choose your career over family? If you wait too long, you won't be able to have any kids. I try the whole....thanks for your interest in my reproductive status, but I'm okay with being single. That just brings them back to the whole....are you dating, when are you getting married bit. It's a vicious cycle, I tell you!Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #27 December 29, 2003 LOL... I got the EXACT SAME questions from my family. "Why jump out of a perfectly good airplane?!" um... because the door was open and I just happened to fall out. yeah. that's it! "When are you going to settle down with a nice young man?" um... when I find one? upside is that my cousin, aunt and uncle want to go do tandems! Pat's only 16, so he's going to have to wait two years, but he wants to go play in the wind tunnel for now, and Mark needs to check with his cardiologist (had a quad bypass five years ago, but has had a clean bill of health since, so just needs to get the dr's okay) and Laura wants to go on her 50th birthday next june. out of the three of em, I think Pat and Laura are going to do it, but I'm not sure about Mark. My brother and five of his pals want to do tandems too, in march when the weather warms up. to quote my bro "I want to skydive, but I don't want to freeze my dick off doing it." LOL.

happythoughts 0 #29 December 29, 2003 Quotewhen are you going to have kids? Tell them that you are going to have kids. You have been going to this club and there is a drummer in a band there... You are still negative on marriage, but the kids thing sounds great. You'll have plenty to discuss after that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #31 December 29, 2003 QuoteI got the when are you planning on getting married question, too. No-one asked me that this year. I suspect I've outlasted the curiousity... QuoteAnd my next favorite question...when are you going to have kids? Well, considering my health status at the moment, no-one actually asked me that, either. My favorite comment was from my nephew when I asked him for a kiss..."ewwww, Noni, that's germy. Germs get you sick, and then you die. I don't want you to die, so I won't kiss you". He's 4 1/2... His little sister, however, decided to try to kill me, and kept kissing me and licking my face and hands. She's 3. She wants to be a dog when she grows up. That's where the licking comes from. I love my family. I could do without the licking, however. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vonSanta 0 #34 December 29, 2003 Quote perfectly good airplane?" (After I showed them my one and only video of me in freefall, one minute long). AND 2) Either, "Why aren't you married yet?" Humm, do we have the same relatives? I got the same questions. My grandmother put it more delicately though: "So Claus, do you have a girl yet? One you're going to marry?" I got all embarrased and stuff. What do you say to something like that? Ended up saying "Umm, no. I'm far too good and ugly to be married." Which of course made the interrogation that followed even worse. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #35 December 29, 2003 Yeah, I get a little embarassed, but moreso I get belligerent. I generally end up saying something along the lines of, "Would you people please leave me alone?!" As I leave the room crying. Not really. But that's what I feel like doing. I turn about 18 shades of red, though. Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #36 December 29, 2003 lol. at least your grandmother has tact. Mine just asked "so. when are you going to get married? the clock's ticking, you know. I want to see my great grandkids before I die." sigh. They're on my case because I haven't brought anyone to meet them in something like three years. I really didn't want to explain why. Its just that when you have a couple of BAD heartbreaks right in a row, you start picking people that are fun to hang out with, but that you aren't that "in to" so its emotionally safe and you know you're going to have a good time, but no matter how things turn out, you're not going to get hurt again. I really didn't want to say "Grandma, I haven't brought anyone home because I've been dating losers on purpose." THAT would NOT have gone over well.

vonSanta 0 #37 December 29, 2003 Well, marry me. We'll live on different continents, have our own lives and then we'd be answering "so, when are you gonna get a divorce" question instead. Plus, sex will be much more exciting since technically we'd be cheating all the time. My suggestion has nothing to do with you being a hottie. Nothing whatsoever. Anyway, so what do you answer when people ask you that dreaded question? I thought I had it under control, but I don't. Need some fail safe answers -and quick, as that question seems to come more and more often the older I get. Nightingale wrote They're on my case because I haven't brought anyone to meet them in something like three years. I haven't brought back anyone since I was 16 - I'm 28 now. I bet they're wondering whether I'm straight or not . I just don't want to. I really didn't want to explain why. Its just that when you have a couple of BAD heartbreaks right in a row, you start picking people that are fun to hang out with, but that you aren't that "in to" so its emotionally safe and you know you're going to have a good time, but no matter how things turn out, you're not going to get hurt again. Wot, what are you, my twin? How YOU doing? I do the exact same thing. No wonder we aren't getting married just yet. Mebbe I'll marry you if Kelel says no. Or marry you both. I really didn't want to say "Grandma, I haven't brought anyone home because I've been dating losers on purpose." THAT would NOT have gone over well. HEY! I'm no loser. Goofy, yes, but no loser. Now you've done it. Thanks for putting me back into my cell of self imposed isolation due to unimaginable heart ache. And it's all your fault. Yeah. No, I don't resent you - I mean how bad can it be to have an everlasting festering open gaping wound in the heart, letting all the wolves out there get the scent of a wounded prey? Thank you. Thank you so much. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightingale 0 #41 December 29, 2003 lol... ya see, they're too polite to do that. They'd pretend to him and me that they like him. its only after we stop seeing each other that I'd hear "I'm so glad you got rid of him!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelel01 1 #43 December 29, 2003 Sweet! Claus and I are getting married, so I guess I'll change my username to Mrs. Claus. And Nightingale can marry us, too. That's no problem. Then people would REALLY have to leave us alone, b/c we'd be more married than most people. Can you do that in the Netherlands (or Denmark, or Norway . . .)?
