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!!!

That's why you stay single and collect what I like to call "pity gifts." You get flowers and chocolates from people who think you're miserable, but you have no obligation to buy anything for anyone. It's pretty much a win-win

I see you're still holding out for Micheal eh Kyra? Lets see...How long will it take to get to Ann Arbor from Washington State in a swim diaper? ...LOL!!:thhbbb: :rofl:

I read today that the average woman spends $85 on her husband on Valentine's Day and the average male spends $155. That proves that women are more trouble.

And it's not our fault guys don't like diamonds and roses. ;)
Wow, I am so jealous of reading about all the flowers and chocolates and dinners out. Before any of you decide to move to a tropical island, make sure they have electricity that is more up than down.
My Valentine's present was our power went out for 9 hours and because my husband went over to the mainland a week or so ago and bought a generator, I got to use it on Valentines which meant we had water in the house, power, TV, stove: the basics. And, I was jumping up and down with glee over this fact. What this also meant was I had swam about 2 miles that morning and I could actually take a shower to get the salt water/sand off. Whew, I am one lucky lady!!!

Island (box). I Told you Donna, That youneed A plumber and a electrian on that Island . But any way your hubsand did the right thing. Also glad you had a great VALITINES DAY. Dom in AZ.:laugh2: :confused:
Roses and dinner out (to the new Black Bear Diner) with the three kids. It was great. Valentines Day has changed a bit for us. :p
I've come to the conclusion that it's good to be trouble as long as it's fun :banana:

Karen as the self appointed Swimstud I must warn you that posting here may consist of "fun" and incur the wrath of the more serious minded aquanauts among us.
Aquanaut...yes that about sums me up!!
Women aren't trouble! Keep it simple guys!
My husband gave me the perfect Valentine's Day! He brought me a box of chocolate, a bottle of wine, and cooked me a steak and shrimp dinner at home. I thought it was so sweet for him to plan and cook the dinner for me. He's a great cook...so I am spoiled!
Roses are beautiful but they don't last... and they're pretty pricey....give me a bouquet of daisies and I'm happy! posted by Swimr4life
Hows this for simple.....A dozen dandelions and a trip to McDonalds.
Actually my wife gets mad if I get her anything for Valentines day or for Christmas....even a simple $2 card. We keep it pretty simple allright....We spent $0 on eachother for Valentines day....and $0 on eachother for Christmas as well.

We like the simple things.
I agree! I think we need a poll to vote on whether we are high or low maintenance. And I admit it, I was the one who stole Ande's credit card. I would also distinguish "low maintenance" from "trouble." As Karen points out, it can be fun to be trouble.
I just want my :coffee: and a full tank of gas in the car. I'll take daisies over roses. Cooking is a huge plus. (No McDonalds for me, though, Jim.) Massages are nice. I guess I'd take one of those new fastskin pros, if someone wanted to foist one off on me. My diamond earrings are sitting in the drawer ... I do have a bit of a handbag fetish, but that is all I'm owning up to.
