I have a funny story to tell about my daughter...

@DaddyEvil I asked to the guy if he was joking or taking fun of me, but he sounded honest. Now when I ask for "senior discount" people want to see my ID all the time.

You have the same problem Pretty has, Anna! I no longer look like I could be a High School student but I had the same problem until I was in my mid-thirties. People still guess my age ten years younger than I actually am.

Literally see you everywhere

@DaddyEvil Lol, NO ! It is because I am rarely in the streets during the night, I have had my ID checked only twice during my life in a street while some people are complaining to be controlled every week. I have probably not the face of a potential bank robber.

@DaddyEvil Maybe Pretty looks like a juvenile bank robber, cops have a good nose to detect them.

@topffer Oh, I see... not that it would have bothered me if you did Are you saying that Pretty looks like a potential bank robber? You are making it far too easy to tease you today, Top! Not that I'm actually complaining, mind you!

@DaddyEvil I would love to see her with hair on both side of her face...

No, she isn't. When I mention her safety, she only shows me her can of mace and reminds me that she always carries her phone with her. She is an adult. I can't control her and wouldn't if she would let me.

@vandana7 Okay, let me look...

@DaddyEvil she had her ID's with her.

@toniganzon I bet that clerk shut up in a hurry, then!

Oh, wow! That's funny! I hope she had her ID on her, though. That store clerk could have called the police because fraud is a crime.

Maybe...

There is no age limit to be a student.

@topffer you know what I mean. Hahaha

@DaddyEvil I'm glad they're leaving her alone.

@just4him She's really happy about that, too... I'm not, but only because I was having so much fun teasing her about getting stopped all the time! I'm a terrible dad!

@DaddyEvil I seriously doubt you're a terrible dad. Parents like to find a reason to tease their kids. Mine tease me unmercifully when it comes to my driving - getting places without getting lost - that is.

@DaddyEvil yeah, maybe sometime I will call him Michael Jordan.

OMGoodness! I really hope you remind him about that once in a while, just to get a reaction out of him!

@snowy22315 Oh, please do... and then tell us what his reaction was!

@DaddyEvil Could be!!

Yeah, we both think they were just trying to chat her up, though!

@DaddyEvil That's funny.

That's exactly what she thought they were doing, mommaj! She got a kick out of telling one cop who offered her a ride home that she was jogging, not trying to solicit his business!

@mommaj *shrug* What can I say... she's my daughter!

@DaddyEvil Who can blame them? They are still concerned about her though.

@lovinangelsinstead21 *smiling at you* Yes, that is true, I guess. Would you like to see a new photo of Pretty I took today? She just had a hair trim.

You're right, that may be the reason they keep stopping her... She and I both think the police officers are trying to chat her up, though.

Kool drawings @DaddyEvil

@rebelann Thank you, Ann! I love those drawings!

No, those were both done by street artists when we were visiting Silver Dollar City and another park in Kansas City, Mo. Both drawings are chalk and are of the two of us when she was little.

Let me have a little rest before breeding the little ones.

I had to look up 'vegeta costume' to see what you were talking about. When my daughter decided to lose weight she contacted some of the weight loss companies on the internet to see if they would pay her to write a blog about her journey. One company offered her weights, gloves and a belt, along with several of those shirts if she would agree to post photos on her blog as she went along. She accepted. She lost 80 lbs in 10 months and still lifts and jogs to keep her weight stable. Isn't it time you thought about starting a family? *grinning and teasing you*

*smiling at you* Yes, that could be considered flattering, but that doesn't explain them offering her a ride home every time they stop her from jogging, either... We think they are trying to chat her up.

@cintol I don't know if it's the same officers each time, but I doubt it. Pretty would have said if it was the same one(s) each time. Yeah, that could be it. Pretty just told me she has a boyfriend... He came and stayed a few days with us last month. I didn't get to meet him though. I was asleep when they were awake and vice versa.

@DaddyEvil Is it the same officers every time?? Maybe one wants a date with her huh.

@JudyEv Things were quite a bit different several years ago, Judy... An underage person was allowed to go into a bar back when I was 18 but I wasn't supposed to be served there, even though the bartenders didn't worry about watching me closely enough to stop me from drinking back then. Now, most bars won't even let someone in if they aren't old enough to drink!

@DaddyEvil I think it is 18 here now. It was 21 when Vince was a lad but it didn't stop him going into pubs.

@DaddyEvil that is really nice the high school boy jogs with her. I am sure that makes you feel safer knowing she isn't alone. I don't know why the dark scares me so bad. Years ago I couldn't even step onto the porch in the dark now I can go about 100 feet from the porch to take the dog out at night to go the bathroom and take out the garbage. There are street lights so it's not totally dark. I'd love to hear the story about Prettys cell phone!

@DaddyEvil that sounds like a neat app. In the dark that app would just scare me all the more even though I don't believe in zombies it still seems like it would make me a little paranoid.

Why would you be scared of being outside at night? (She always carries a cell phone (I could tell you a funny story about her cell phone, if you're interested?) and mace when she goes out jogging. There is also a very nice young man (That's how she described him. ) who jogs with her if she isn't out past his curfew. (He IS a High School student. ) Uhm... strangers (when asked) still guess my age at ten to fifteen years younger than I actually am. (Of course, maybe they are just trying to be polite and/or don't want to offend me by saying how old I really look to them. *shrug* You're welcome to believe whatever you want.) I will tell you that I got really tired of being asked for my ID when I went into bars.... *sigh* mostly because my friends wouldn't let it drop after we got into the bar or they egged on the bouncer by telling him I was underage... every time we went out. (I finally just stopped going into bars with them. My friends really hated it when I just refused to go out with them on Saturday nights... )

@DaddyEvil and there are more things they catch and tell us.

@DaddyEvil and one more. Sometimes if they have eaten a thing X 2 hours ago, thing Y 1 hour ago and perhaps a 3rd thing half an hour ago, and they still ask for more. Then I how would you be able to eat so much. The reply comes "Khana digest ho gaya (My food got digested! ") And I can't stop laughing at such talk

*smiling at you* OMG! That would have been adorable! I think you should begin to worry now... By the time your kids are old enough to understand the things they tell you now, they may have figured out a way to put Pop and Mom out of their way! I would hate to see you marginalized by your own children!

@PainsOnSlate Oh! Well then, I hope you're right. Uhhh... well, I would have a bit of difficulty fitting painting my nails (toe or finger) into my view of myself... I can see me doing something like that for a joke but not for everyday living. *shrug* I will tell you I don't believe I have to act as masculine/macho as some men I've met, but I'm not effeminate, either. I would say the Man Box I grew up in was less about showing and being aggressive and more about being and showing genuine concern for others. (Does that make sense? Whether it makes sense to others or not, it's the way I am most comfortable viewing myself.)

Oh, wow! I hope moving the hives to a different area will keep the bears from finding them, but wouldn't bet on that. (Bears have a very acute sense of smell. They can scent honey or carcasses from up to 20 miles away.) Even if the bears that originally raided the hives can't find them any other bears within that distance will smell them and come hunting. Oh, that is a funny way to celebrate your birthday! (Happy belated birthday!) I don't think my daughter and I will decide that's a good way to celebrate my birthdays.

@DaddyEvil why?don't you want to color your toes? My daughter lives in the boonies and has for years, but its closer to humans than the farm. I doubt they will ever see a bear in her yard.

@ramapo17 I was just on Fb and saw the new photo you posted there. I think Florida really agrees with you! You look beautiful!

OMG! I am sure you all got a huge laugh from that situation, Nancy! Thank you so much for sharing it with me!

@DaddyEvil Some things I never forget.

Thanks! Of course, you mean besides eat donuts and drink coffee, right?

@gofsey Oh, I know! They will re-appear if you jaywalk, though.

@DaddyEvil Ha ha yeah, right. They seem to disappear when we have something to ask them.

That's what I keep telling her! Do you remember PrettyEvil from WA?

@DaddyEvil I took my money and ran and did not have anything left. But I thought the same thing. I think the owner(s) just moved on to something else. The site could DEFINITELY have survived.
