I am sorry this topic has absolutely nothing to do with swimming, but that is the weirdest thing that ever happened to me and who else would I share it with but my beloved swimming community :-)))
Anyways, here is what happened to me today.I went to Mall of America to do some shopping.I mean I finally set aside money to invest into something non-related to swimming.I am definitely not a shopaholic, but today I felt the urge to get into some new clothes.Well, afew hours after browsing that huge concentration of temptations I gathered quite e few purchases.To top it off I decided to get myself some cool jeans, so I ended up in one of the clothing shops.I had some trouble finding my size and I caught an eye of A GORGEOUS young lady that was working there and asked her to help me out(well, because she was so good-looking, I obviously had even more trouble finding stuff :-))).She turned out to be a sweet-heart and pretty much guided me through all my shopping experience at this little shop and I finally had 2 pair of jeans that I liked after trying out thousands of them(well, not exactly that many, but you know what I mean).So it was time for me to go, but I kinda felt reluctant to leave without having a little chat with that cutie.So I asked her name and stuff and we had a pleasant little conversation.Man, she told me to stop by some time to say hello :-)))Maybe she liked me?'Cause I surely liked her, lol:))
Anyways we finished talking, smiled to each other, wished each other good night and all those things and I headed out home thinking about nothing but that girl I just met.
Ok, guess what happened when I got home?I realised that the girl totally stole my brains at the moment when we were talking, BECAUSE I LEFT THE STRORE WITH THE JEANS IN MY HANDS FORGETTING(I MEAN FORGETTING!!!!) TO PAY FOR THEM!!!
OH my GOD!!!I never shoplift or anything of a kind and never ever anything like that happened to me!
Should I go back there tomorrow and pay or is that going to look weird?The most amazing part is that the jeans had those magnetic devices but they obviously never got activated or whatnot...
WOW, I mean WOOOOOOOOOOW.I must have really liked the girl, 'cause my brain was obviously paralized for that moment...I promised her I would stop by again :-)))She told me when she works.I was trying to be a decent guy and not jump into the whole "Can I have your number" thing right away, lol.
Man, all I have to say is : women are trouble , or from the woman's view on the situation it could be: men are so stupid!!!

When I first saw my wife walking along the pool deck during a masters ...
... meet. I thought, this is trouble and it's going to be expensive. Even more than diamond rings. Ande is right. Women are expensive. Fastskins are expensive. Meet entries. Team dues. Swim devices. Physical therapy. Health club dues. Nose clips. Ear plugs. Fins. Pull buoys. More of the same for the girl children. Does it ever stop?
Fort, beware of the FlyQueen's guns... When the safety is off, they can do some damage :dedhorse:
Muppet:
Did she kick your butt in breaststroke in the Windy City then?
I hope you showed her that you were pretty handy with the SDKs too.
:dedhorse: :banana:

That's what my husband says too. I hope this is not just a token compliment, reflecting the relatively weaker position of the husband in the marital duo. But, yes, feel free to "compliment," including dissing the anorexic women in Hollywood and preening over athletic women, especially ones with swimmer bods. It helps not to drool over the SI swimsuit issue too.

I only drool when the wife's not around.
It's the 14 yo son I need to worry about!
Although the pics on the walls in his room are all swimmers.
I guess that's a good thing.
GENUINE compliments are totally okay! Otherwise, be afraid ... ;)
It is most definitely genuine. I wouldn't want to get smacked by someone whose shoulders are broader than mine.:D
Oh my goodness, oh my gosh! I never realized...Heather, I take back all those less than flattering things I posted about butterfly, Ohio State football and what I was thinking, but not posting, about putrid Cubs baseball! Just keep those guns holstered and I'll even...enter a 50 fly and use dolphin kick sometime in the next year...
hahaha ... well, I am doing the 50 breaststroke this Sunday at a meet ... maybe I'll break the 5 minute barrier ... :joker:
I like your signature poolrat. It reminds me of one of the deepest unsolved riddles in modern philosophy......the riddle being: If a man is talking in the woods and his wife is not there to hear him, then is he still wrong?Newmastersswimmer
How can this be a "deep unsolved riddle," Jim? The answer is so obvious.

Fort, insluting a woman's broad shoulders is not recommended unless you want those big shoulders which are attached to big arms and fists to come flying at you. Insulting fiesty women is also frowned upon. In fact insulting women period is frowned upon ... rudely insulting anyone should be ... obviously there are exceptions, such as close friendships and family memembers that think they get to freely insult females and suggest that they stop taking steroids or that the steroids might appear on a drug test but I digress ...
