Lowes? I don't get it!

Anyhoo, how is everyone this fine morning.

Robby, how are you faring, my friend?

Good Morning DipiT!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

The Reasoning behind Lowe’s

I love Lowe’s. Used to go there almost daily when we had our house, before we moved to FL. Really enjoyed working on/around the house/lawn/pond. Always went for tools/supplies, never for the darker side.

I found out rather quickly that home improvement superstores are quickly becoming America’s newest pick up joint!

Although I’m a FWH, I never “hooked up” at Lowe’s, but was approached A LOT! Even when I was dirty, sweaty, grimy; in the middle of my latest project. I’d suggest Lowe’s as somewhere to meet someone special over a single’s bar ANYDAY! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Robby, how are you faring, my friend?</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Overall, pretty well…

Today's struggle:

I grew up in a (very) small town in North Carolina. Raised in Presbyterian church lead by the Reverend Calvin Thielman. One of the fondest memories I have is of Billy Graham sitting in the row directly behind my family. We received a letter from him when my mother died in 1999.

When I was 15 or so struggles with predestination led my father to take us to different churches, first Episcopalian then Lutheran.

Today I find myself in the lobby.

I’m sorry. Don’t really know where all that came from…

What are you doing this weekend?

Robby,

You are in the lobby? Awww, honey, you gotta come on in. The music is great, the company even better, and you do not seem like the type to sit out a dance or miss out on the action. You know you wanta... PLLLLLEEEEEAAASSSSSE?

Lowe's, huh? Hmmmm...I had planned on balancing my checkbook and heading to Lowe's to get some mole cricket poison for my lawn, and maybe, a few plants for the front garden. So, what you are saying is, I should go get dolled up first, before I head there???????? Hmmmmmm....

And, what kinda hottie must you be, to be getting propositioned, while dirty and sweaty, no less, by the desperate chics at the Lowe's.

Aha. Well, there goes the Lowe's idea for me. I do not care to be lumped into the "desperate chics at Lowes's" category. So, I will go with my hair in a pony tail, shorts and dirty work shirt, and no makeup on get up I had originally planned to go in.

Besides, I cannot think about Lowe's, Ybor, or the rest until the D is final.

Did you hear from your WW??

I’ll find my way in, just trying to figure out how…

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> you do not seem like the type to sit out a dance</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">On a literal note here… Never been very fond of dancing. It’s a weakness of mine, I know… W loves to dance. I’m a paranoid freak! Everyone’s watching! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

I never said the women at Lowe’s were desperate. Far from it I think… Maybe just smarter, tired of the bar scene…

Typical approach:

Excuse me.

Batting eyes

Can you help me with this?

I’m trying to fix/do __________ myself and I really don’t know where to begin…


Great for the old ego…

And a clean shirt. C’mon now!

You can wait until after D to reel them in...but I bet manly men checking you out would be great for the old ego! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

I only wear makeup on Tuesday! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Did you hear from your WW??</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">panic…

is she wandering now? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

W called to check on S this morning, most likely before she found the card. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

Besides Lowe’s and planting, what else is new? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Hey Robby!

Was laid up all weekend with a SPLITTING migraine. Hormonal headaches...gotta love them.

I am just a ball of hormone's, aren't I.

So, alas, I never made it to the meat market, I mean, Lowe's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Hormonal headache?? Be honest…

I wish. PMS brings migraines. Nothing so exciting and exotic as re-entering the dating game at Lowes! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Robby, did your W get the card????? Come on...inquiring minds want to know.

What's the difference between a pit bull and a woman with PMS?

Lipstick. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

W did get the card. She never mentioned it so I finally asked her yesterday if she read it. She said she did but didn’t know what to say. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

W ended up staying in WPB with her brother and SIL to see the second show last night. I had S all weekend!!

It was great! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
