<p>May I take the bottles?</p>
<p>We’ll need to know what you’re going to do with them…Are you going to drip candle wax all over them, and put a candle in to create some romance for W of thisoldman?!!</p>
<p>Sformato? Is that a fancy name for a jello mold?</p>
<p>Since there is matchmaking going on, is there any one for S1? He will be 15 in 3 months, and he is clean - takes a shower every day. Thank heaven for small favors. His hair is on the long side, and no comb has touched it in years. He washes it (every day), rubs the towel over it. That’s his coiffure. (Did I spell that right?) In his CTY “yearbook” from last summer, there are several inscriptions from girls that refer to his “pretty blue eyes” - these days, those eyes are barely visible beneath the fringe. Medium height, skinny. Kind and nonthreatening, quiet. Math/science. Rudimenatary social skills, and not much interest in girls. Prefers taking appliances apart to cannibalize for parts for his inventions. Is there any hope?</p>
<p>Congrats to jym’s son! Where are those mukluks? Love the bubbly.</p>
<p>o oo o o o o o ooo oo oo o

<p>^those are bubbles if anyone is wondering. hic!</p>
<p>Uh oh, I knew it would get to matchmaking. I have been contacted by PM but both of us agreed that the kids would absolutely kill us. But it does make one want to pair them all up; so much talent here! Brains, beauty, brawn. I refuse to believe they don’t get it from us.</p>
<p>I can’t decide if I should get really drunk or avoid alcohol altogether. I am in the middle of grading papers, the bane of any English prof’s life.</p>
<p>DS, who is the still waters run deep kind, (and only 5’7" – I imagine that takes him out of the running for a lot of girls) surprised me by dating the most beautiful girl in the grade just below him. And she is bright and exotic. Alas, a teen romance. Things did not work out, but she pursued him by writing him a poem. In French! She’s a violinist, too, so I realize that even a 5’7" male violinist who is straight will never be without company. </p>
<p>DD looks like a combination of Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz and Natalie Portman, and she is very verbal and loves to argue. She’s had a lot of attention, but no one is brave enough to stand his ground, though she did have one nice boyfriend for two years. Astrophysics mom, he was 6’2", and she’s 5’2". Isn’t that always the way?</p>
<p>nymomof2–sorry I don’t have any more girls for you, but your son sounds like he has “potential.” Like most of mine at that age, no interest in opposite sex yet, for which I was extremely grateful! </p>
<p>The social skills will come, I’m sure. Just feed & water your young man, and make sure he gets enough sunlight. :)</p>
<p>mythmom, what good taste your son has! Bright and exotic, and a poem in French! </p>
<p>mommusic, It’s hard to see the potential at this clumsy stage. He is a willing kitchen slave, and will happily peel potatoes and cut up vegetables for salads, asking questions the whole time. I fear for his fingers though, because he is so awkward. Feeding and watering are easy, he eats everything these days.</p>
<p>It never fails to amaze that our clueless sons grow up to fun the world. Help!</p>
<p>nymomof2 - Just curious, if your S is not interested in girls, why are you matchmaking for him? Boys who aren’t interested in girls do not make the best boyfriends…lol. There’s no rush, the interest will kick in eventually.</p>
<p>My kids are so different from on another. My 15-year old daughter was not interested in boys until the middle of her freshman year in high school (possibly because that’s when the older boys started to notice her?). She started dating her first bf in March, they broke up for a little over a month and are now back together (not for much longer, possibly - but that is another story). My 11-year old son, otoh, has always loved girls - always! He has already had a few gfs (not that he went on dates with, just girls that he has “gone out” with…lol). He used to torment his sister because she didn’t date when she was in middle school - he just couldn’t understand it. The funny thing is, once she started dating, he decided that he didn’t like her having a bf after all.</p>
<p>Oooooh, Pleeaseee. ?!Candles!?
She wears, wellingtons
Nope.</p>
<p>LIMOM, Although my son is not interested enough in girls to do anything about it, there are some leading indicators. For one thing, he nearly falls out of the car staring at a certain girl with long reddish hair whenever we pass her. But you’re right that the matchmaking is premature, I was just caught up in the fun!</p>
<p>I made an incredible German chocolate cake this weekend, and it was “light” - from cookinglight.com. It would probably go well with all that champagne we’re swigging here!</p>
<p>The sweat chocolate will make the champagne taste too sour. Coffee and GCC and you will have me at your feet.</p>
<p>sweat chocolate?</p>
<p>how do you get that to happen?</p>
<p>In my book, chocolate goes with everything.</p>
<p>nymomof2 - It sounds like your son is interested in girls, just not quite ready for that next step. I can understand getting caught up in the whole matchmaking thing - I was ready to look for a new BF for my D. Her current BF is one of those boys who likes girls but is not quite ready, IMO, to have a GF. He seems like a great guy with lots of potential - just not quite there yet (and he’s 17!). Anyway, that’s why I responded the way I did - I am witnessing what happens to the girl when the boy isn’t ready to be in a relationship (he doesn’t call when he says he will, avoids commiting to plans - yet he is the one who pursued her).</p>
<p>chocolate (serotonin)+ sweat (pheromones) + sugar = –> :>)</p>
<p>thisoldman - maybe I am overreacting but it seems to me that you are constantly putting out a kind of smutty inuendo and I really don’t like it.</p>
<p>I could have just reported the post but what the heck I thought I’d just put it out there.</p>
<p>??? Ahem…</p>
<p>Rescuing from page 2. Someone say something witty! Quick!</p>
<p>In any bar,including this one, there are moments like this. It’ll pass. No one get too embarrassed and let’s enjoy the evening’s entertainment. Fresh from their standing room only performances at the Catskill’s Motor Lodge , that duo we all love, let’s welcome to Sinner’s Alley at the Pocono’s Inn - Marite and mythmom and their interpretations of Beatles classics.</p>
