Wait!!!! It doesn't matter if it isn't a date and I am making a big thing out of nothing. We aren't going to a fancy restaurant or anything. A very casual place but its an inside joke between me, him, and his sister.

I don't know if I like him. Never looked at him like that. He was my friend's older brother. I hate dating. This is why I don't do it.

And how the heck did he sink a boat? Dummy.

So don't go into it as a date. If you go and it ends up being one and you both liek it..fantastic. if it ends up just being hanging out..also fantastic.

Well he owns a dealership in MD and he built our boat (he's a former prof. boat racer) so he has this huge, expensive, race boat. Apparently he hit something going fast and ripped off the transom on a lower unit. He tried to beach it but, it took on water too fast.

So he made a 1/4 million dollar hole in the water.

I hope he has good insurance.

Thanks for the advice. That's my problem. I think too much. Who cares. You are right.

And yup, after hearing the story, still a dummy.

True. That's why I wouldn't own a boat. I wouldn't trust myself not being an idiot and doing something like that. Are you kidding me? An Asian woman?

D'oh! That sucks. When I used to go fishing with my uncle on much smaller, slower boats we always slowed down for the areas with sunken trees. Unfortunately the best fishing spots had lots of them. I used to hang off the bow with the spotlight at night until we got into the main channel of the river. Those dang Asian carp would surprise you once in a while too.

Did he ask me out? His sister isn't coming. She doesn't live in AZ anymore. Comments from the peanut gallery? Proceed? Proceed with caution? Or big deal out of nothing for clueless in dating girl?

Thats what I thought too D.

Iif you had a body like that you wouldn't be that stupid to put boobs on it that big.

Those boobs are bigger than her head, not normal, photo-shopped.

I agree with D... That's physically impossible. The weight of her boobs alone would have to tip her over. Her center of gravity would be all messed up. Or, she might have hoisted them up for the five seconds for the picture to be taken. If real and not photoshopped, that poor girl is going to have major back problems. I had a friend who had DDs in high school. All she wanted for graduation was a reduction. One of her bra cups fit on my head... I think I have a picture of that somewhere...

And D! Why did you have to tell me that? I was good after Janet's advice and now I am off to thinking too much again. I told my friend to let her know and she just giggled. Hmmmmm...
