Now they more or less leave me alone & go for the next person. So maybe so, yeah. And maybe by the time she's nearing 40 they'll leave her alone too.<BR/><BR/>No, she doesn't call him that. I told her she had to bec. he doesn't want his name. It's funny though - she does remember looking at his dating profile before we went on our first date & announced that fact over dinner recently. I can't remember now if she was for or against me going out with him.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439582294571462742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122639.post-92198537048259953152008-06-01T10:48:00.000-05:002008-06-01T10:48:00.000-05:00Your daughter is definitely related to you.

I figgered "Sooper" and "prettiful" were intentional as well as her tone of voice. <BR/><BR/>I get the sense that there were plenty of eyerolls going on!<BR/><BR/>Dang that sounded painful - I've just read about jelly fish stings (in Australia) and whoooa. Nasty. That is so great that the paramedics were on the beach!<BR/><BR/>Your daughter still calls Razor "the guy who.."? <BR/><BR/>The bee thing makes me wonder if your daughter is some type of attractor - for some reason, bees like to follow me. Sometimes flies which is gross. Maybe it's insects in general because when I visited a butterfly garden, then tend to land on me and hang around. I mean HANG AROUND while I wander around and then I have to nudge it off when I leave. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, do similar things happen to your daughter?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122639.post-10303036998354114722008-05-30T07:20:00.000-05:002008-05-30T07:20:00.000-05:00Too cute SJ :-) :-) :-)Goodness gravies then, Be...Too cute SJ :-) :-) :-)<BR/><BR/>Goodness gravies then, Beth, glad the toadlet situation is under control! I said it again at work yesterday...<BR/><BR/>DJ - I didn't laugh!!!!! It was actually really horrible, although it makes for a good story. :-( :-) She's not going to give all her money, just the percentage she would have given to charity anyway.<BR/><BR/>Urban Thought - Yeah, I never EVER post anything inappropriate for children on this blog!!! :-0 :-0 :-0 KIDDING!!!!!! Still, I appreciate your restraint given that I'm sure my almost 13 year old will read these. We were SO LUCKY about the paramedics on the beach. We could have spent a good long time if I'd taken her to the hospital.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Maureen! She hasn't read responses yet, but school's out for her so she'll get (a little) more time now.<BR/><BR/>Yikes Ingrid! How on earth did he manage to step on so many?

My idiot brother (well, this was 15 years ago, but he's still an idiot) ran around on the beach STEPPING on jellyfish that had washed up on shore because it made them glow.

I have been stung by jellyfish too. It hurts more than words can say but is nowhere near as bad as having meat tenderiser and vinager poured on top of the sore bit while your mom laughs.

My problem at the time was that I didn't know WHAT had happened. She was happy and laughing and smiling and then then she was screaming & crying. I figured something must have stung her but I couldn't even see a mark. Very strange.<BR/><BR/>People - Yike! Well...is the water any clearer there at least so you can see them???? The police officer said she was the third or fourth person to be bitten that day. :-(<BR/><BR/>Thanks Janet! She liked that idea! <BR/><BR/>Christine - She's supposed to give a certain percent to charity. She'll keep some. Although to hear her tell it, she keeps the gift cards and gives all money gifts to charity. I guess we'll figure all that out later...<BR/><BR/>Alf - Well, for whatever it's worth, "sooper" (along with "prettiful") was on purpose. :-)<BR/><BR/>Carey - The paramedic was actually really nice. He was all, "Your not going to let this keep you out of the water, are you?"Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439582294571462742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122639.post-42367333084049070522008-05-27T20:24:00.000-05:002008-05-27T20:24:00.000-05:00Great story!
