Maybe they thought the polar bear dropped them right outside the igloo? LOL
Lmao. Hey I like that idea. It would could give precedence over the whole *stork* theory. Our kids would love it!  | |

Well, I didn't know that you had storks in Canada. "Everybody knows" that when you go south out of Detroit into Windsor, that the temperature immediately drops 50 degrees, and you're at the tree line, where people frolick with polar bears outside their igloos. Am I getting part of that wrong? | |

Of course you didn't know. We just wanted everyone to think it was the "stork". It's actually the Canadian geese that delivered babies. It's Canada's best kept secret, kinda like *poutine*, unless your Canadian you wouldn't know. Shhhh please don't tell anyone. | |

I spent a lot of time in Canada on business, and by and large, like the country and the people. Canadian geese, though, not so much. In fact, you can keep them all there, as anyone, who has worked in an office building with a pond that attracts geese can attest, they "deliver" lots and lots of goose "stuff", and in a group, they can be kind of nasty. | |

| What would our kids think Posted: 7/21/2007 8:42:55 AM | Just talked with one of my sons this morning. was telling him ab out my wacky last couple of weeks in the dating world. He said he didn't even want to think about his mom like that , hahahahaha
this is the same son who was telling me before I got divorced to "just go get laid, mom"
ROTFLMAO...
In reality, no they don't want to think of us as sexual beings even though that's how they got into this world. | |

| What would our kids think Posted: 8/6/2007 3:35:16 PM | | for the most part, what my kids or friends or family would say is something i dont much care about. they can live their lives and i will live mine. if someone cant be happy for me when i am happy,, TO HECK WITH EM! | |
|
| What would our kids think Posted: 9/14/2007 11:28:48 AM | | Who cares? Living your life by what other people may say is the surest way to have no life. | |
|
| What would our kids think Posted: 9/18/2007 3:51:48 PM | | Well, I think mine's still wondering how she got here. Just kidding. Or am I? No, actually she's 19 now with lots of her own drama, and I know she could never stand to see me kissing my ex-boyfriend. It was always, "Mom! Oh my God!" Then once I was talking to this younger fella who kinda likes me, and after we pulled away (he works at a gas station LOL), she said, "Ewwww, you were FLIRTING!" I told her I'm too young to sit there and watch Lawrence Welk, and of course you know what her answer was. "Who's Lawrence Welk?" She will NEVER walk in on me. Never did and never will. That's why doors have locks. Not that anybody's behind that door with me... | |

kinda like *poutine*, unless your Canadian you wouldn't know
French fries, gravy, and cheese curds. It looks disgusting, and I've never tried it. Tim Horton's, though, I can get into that.
As to the topic, my kids, too, would think poutine is disgusting, and, therefore, would probably want to try it. LOL | |
|
| What would our kids think Posted: 9/18/2007 9:25:36 PM | I think the funniest response I ever heard was from a 14 year old, who, in all earnestness said to her 41 year old mother, "But mom, you *can't* date now. You've already been married and you're too old. Your life is over."
I just about wet myself. | |
|
| What would our kids think Posted: 9/18/2007 10:52:58 PM | They'd say . . " I'll drink to yer Leg..!! " . . { -Quint.. in 'JAWS' } " Just don't wake the Neighbors!!! . . . A G A I N . . !!! " | |

Very impressive for a non Canadian. Looks can be deceiving. Next time you cross over the boarder try it. Bring some home for the kids. They'll love it! | |

There's a thought. Congealed, cold, old, nasty poutine, driven for 7 hours to get back to Chicago area, where my daughters are. There's a thought that just fuels my appetite.
Besides, when I'm in Windsor, there are way too many beautiful women to oogle, to care much for food. Good thing, too, because for all that's good about Canada, the cuisine is not one of the strengths. | |

| What would our kids think Posted: 9/19/2007 1:30:54 PM | As I have three kids, I have three reactions. The youngest (soon to be 14) is at the age where he doesn't want to talk about it. But he is easygoing and patient with me. The middle daughter, 20, we compare notes but no details. The oldest, 23, I can never look at her boyfriend the same way again! Talk about TMI! Her favorite pastime is embarrassing me, especially if I am on a first date! Thank goodness she lives out of state. Graduation is not far away though. I should start petitioning the powers that be not to send her here. LOL
Funny story: An older friend(I think mid to late 60's) of mine was in the corner ice house when I, my eldest daughter and her tall boyfriend walked in She looked up at my daughter's boyfriend and said, "You'd better watch out, I am a horny old lady! My daughter cracked up and said, "I wanna be you when I grow up!" The lady scared the fellow I was trying to hook her up with half to death!
All in all, I have always been open with my children on all subjects. I am proud to have moved into a good friendship with my adult children. The son probably thinks, eeewww, but says nothing. They all three want me to be happy. | |
|
| What would our kids think Posted: 9/19/2007 3:07:53 PM | | I have a daughter who is 47 and a son who is 30. They are both very supportive of me and we have a wonderful relationship. They have no problem with me dating someone. They would like to see me happy and not alone all the time. (get a life, Mom) They both say they don't think I should get married again, though. | |
|
| What would our kids think Posted: 9/19/2007 4:25:57 PM | If my kids knew I was here (19 and 16), they would probably encourage me. They know I have the same right to find a good date or form healthy relationship as they do.
If they ask how things are going, I tell them. I do not cut out communicating to my kids just because I am on a dating site. If they ask if I have been on a date, I share with them, but do not get to the TMI stage.
I believe children should realize their parents have a right to pursue happiness, and should encourage their parents.
So, now if my kids talk about a bad date they went on, I can give them a 'Oh Yea, well let me tell you about MY bad date.... They get a laugh out of it, and realize that not all dates are perfect. Just my two cents! ~smiles~ | |

Besides, when I'm in Windsor, there are way too many beautiful women to oogle, to care much for food. Good thing, too, because for all that's good about Canada, the cuisine is not one of the strengths.
I suppose if you've been fortunate enough to have sampled ALL of Canada's cuisine that would be a fair statement. | |

| What would our kids think Posted: 9/20/2007 7:12:49 PM | Most Americans don't even Know what _Genuine_ Canadian Bacon Tastes like . . !!! My kids Always ask to have some brought back, when I visit the 'ol Stompin' grounds . . !! Canadian Bacon . . Corn and Molsons Beer . . !!! My Kind of DIET...!!! | |
|
| What would our kids think Posted: 9/20/2007 7:29:34 PM | my daughters and I have a deal. I promise to believe that all grandchildren are the result of immaculate conception.
They promise to believe I'm only on POF for the conversation and coffee.
It works. | |
|
| What would our kids think Posted: 9/20/2007 8:02:03 PM | My 36 year old son just shakes his head and changes the topic of conversation.
Oh, he sent me a birthday card making fun of guys on the internet...so, atleast he has a sense of humor about it! | |
|
| What would our kids think Posted: 9/22/2007 8:07:23 AM | Well both my darlins' know I'm on dating sites and are quite happy that I'm getting out and meeting people. My 23 year old daughter is on POF and we've had a lot of OMG moments.
We've had a few experiences where I'll start chatting with an interesting man (my age) and later, to her cries of "OMG come and look at this" see that he's emailed her. Same for guys she's talking to, emailing me. The funniest was when she had starting dating a guy she was really interested in. I hadn't met him yet but he was coming over that night and I was to meet him. Earlier in the day I got an email from him asking me if I was into younger guys. We didn't say a word to him... just let him come on over as planned. The look on his face when she introduced us was just priceless. Poor wee soul, I almost felt sorry for him.  | |
