Thanks!! Oh, I know!! I still can't believe my son is 4 already. I still look at him and can't believe I'm a mom!! I thought parents looked forward to that??

That and it would be nice if those graphic designers and makeup/hair stylist were around 24/7/365!! Then we could be flawless like that too!!

Yeah, we know that. It's the guys that need to know. Maybe we need to post those videos on their hot ladies thread. It still ticks me off that they can get away with some of those pics but we can't post our real pics on our now frozen thread!

It wasn't our real pics that were the problem, it was their responses to us REAL women... If they try to send a nasty message to one of their hot ladies, nobody cares, because those hot ladies aren't actually receiving the message... (Shhhh - don't tell the guys! They think those phony women really do love them! )

When I was a many years younger and a young lady would start to flirt with me(it used to irritate my wife, understandably so) it was fun. Now that I am a 55 old year geezer I think twice when a young lady even smiles at me. When I was doing some repair work at a local Wally World three young ladies came walking through the store giggling.The one girl says to the other " I smile at ugly people it makes their day."

You should have said "I smile back at the stupid ones - it makes their day, too!"

That's a good one. They weren't talking about me , because they could not see me where I was hunkered down near the floor repairing a register.

Happy Thursday!

OK ladies, so I posted a pic on FB a few days ago of my makeup after getting it done by my MAC makeup artist.

A girl I went to high school with commented on how awesome it looked, and went on to say she only owns a tube of mascara and has no idea what to buy or how to use makeup.

I told her we could get together and I'd teach her some tips and tricks and how to use certain things, and she sent me her phone number.

So how do I handle this? I know she doesn't have a lot of money at all, and I'd love to show her how to do makeup, but I don't know if she'll be able to go buy the basics she needs. Me buying it for her is a little much since I haven't seen her in years and I don't want to flaunt money in her face.

Should I meet up with her and give her some of the samples I've got laying around, and makeup freebies I've gotten from Clinique, Lauder, etc.? I'm just not sure how to go about doing this.

My best advice is clean the ever lovin' crap out of the car, which we all do with our Camaros anyway. But here is my secret, lean closer and don't tell anybody, the engine compartment has to be clean enough to eat off of and I'm not kidding. I get mine steam cleaned twice a year. The steering wheel must be straight, tires aligned and polished. I'm also a car show judge, so I step back and look at my car like I would a car I was judging.
Lastly it does not hurt to campaign a little, not in their face, just be knowledgable if they ask any questions. Hope this helps and best of luck!

Thanks Renee! What kinda sucks, is the show is Friday, Sat, and Sun. I already had a previous committment to run a half marathon down in Baton Rouge this weekend so I am leaving the car at the show for the weekend (it's inside a convention center). I have another club member who will be parked right next to me and he said he would look after my car and I have a few friends who are going to stop in and check on her as well. Wish I could be there the whole weekend, but I will only be there Friday and make it back just in time for the awards presentation on Sunday. If this hurts my chances of taking home some bling, oh well...I did put together a build book to leave in the trunk that really paints the picture and tells her story, so hopefully that will help in my absence.
