Speaking of dogs... Katy found a meme online and shared it with everyone on Facebook. Do you think she was trying to say something? The meme: "My man just walked in, told the dog how cute he is and how much he loves him. He held the dog's face in his hands, stared into his eyes, and gave him forehead kisses. Then he left the room. I'm sitting right next to the dog..." HAHAHA! She shared this as a joke. I don't really do that. Or do I? ππ€£

2024-11-15 22:49:00 +0000 UTCHaha! Well, at least it wasn't something super embarrassing that your friends stuck in there. What if customs opened it and it was BDSM attire? ROFLMAO!

2024-11-15 17:15:58 +0000 UTCCan't say I've ever been in that type of situation. The polling place is about the worst place to go blank. If it happened to me I would be sweatin' and half expecting the poll workers to pull me out of the line for additional identity verification, like at the airport with the TSA. Wait... something DID happen to me coming through customs in Hong Kong when one of my luggage pieces went through the x-ray scanner. The security officer pointed to a dark mass in my suitcase on the monitor, about 4" x 5" in size. I stared at the screen and squinted, trying to discern what the shape could be. Finally, I said, "I have no idea what that is." That's what EVERY security officer likes to hear at an airport, right? The officer opened my suitcase and found a white cardboard box with an object inside that was wrapped in paper. At this point I *still* had no idea what it could be or how it got there. When the officer unwrapped the object it turned out to be a ceramic figure of a mythological lion's head souvenir. My friends, with whom I was traveling, had asked me back at the hotel if they could put something in my suitcase since their baggages were full of souvenirs for their family members back home in the U.S., but I paid no attention to what they placed in my suitcase. It turns out that the ceramic figurine was painted using lead paint, which is why it showed up as an indistinguishable dark mass on the x-ray screen. The officer chuckled and carefully re-wrapped the lion, placed it back into my suitcase, and sent me on my way. My friends were watching what was happening to me from nearby the exit. The wife asked, "Why didn't you call us over to you?" I didn't do so because until the lion was unwrapped, I had no idea what it could be and calling out to my friends might end up with all of their luggage being searched, even though they'd already passed through the x-ray area.

2024-11-15 15:32:52 +0000 UTCDude, you ever get caught in a situation unexpectedly that has you feeling completely awkward and then you say something that isn't true just to try to save yourself from the situation? It hasn't happened to me much, but it did last week during voting. I showed the workers my ID to vote and I wasn't expecting them to ask me questions. When they asked me to confirm my address, I was caught off guard and completely blanked. I could not remember my own address! I've lived here for 5 years and still my mind went blank. I felt so stupid as I fumbled over my address and the guy is looking at me patiently. I eventually got it out but felt so awkward for not even being able to say my address (and feeling like he thought I was lying) that I just blurted out without thinking, "Sorry, it's a new home so I am still getting used to my address." That was not true at all! 5 years! Then afterwards I felt even more stupid because my Drivers License shows my address on there and it was renewed 3 years ago. How would my 3 year old Drivers License have the address on it from a "new home"? *facepalm* Just one of those moments that happened so fast and left me feeling stupid, so on the fly I said something even more stupid. Ugh! I imagine that's how Greg felt in that scene. He was suddenly in a situation where he felt really dumb and tried to bullshit his way out of it and just dug the hole deeper. Been there!

2024-11-15 13:52:17 +0000 UTCWow. Some serious sharing, here. Thank you all for that. There's a lot. I didn't read it all. I make no judgments. I will share, too. I received a call at home from my (then) girlfriend, who was in her first year of college. She said that her mom found a condom in the unopened packaging on her bed. Oops! I left it there earlier in the day when her folks were at work and forgot to put it in my pocket when I left her bedroom. Oh, S-H-I-T. Things were arctic chilly for many weeks whenever I visited my girlfriend at family's home. Awkward would be an understatement. Moral of the story? Umm... there IS no moral of the story. Just don't leave fucking rubbers layin' around if you want to stay in her folks' good graces! Parents don't appreciate THAT much information. So many Oscar winners among the cast of "Meet the Fockers". Babs (Barbra Streisand) is the star of one of my fave comedies of all time - "What's Up, Doc?" (1972).

2024-11-15 05:14:04 +0000 UTCIt's all good; it gives me something to read, and being a 40-year-old virgin, I find this all very interesting. π all right, I lied. I'm not 40
Eddie Perkins
2024-11-15 01:51:31 +0000 UTCThat's right. The more partners you have had seems to have a negative impact on your ability to pair-bond. It actually impacts women way more than men. Men with a high number of sexual partners still seem to be able to pair-bond fairly well, according to studies on this. But for whatever reason, women who have a high number of sexual partners seem to have a much more difficult time pair-bonding. Throw "pair bonding body count" into google and see what pops up. This is why "body count" matters, IMO. One of the reasons, anyway. That's yet another topic that we could get into. See? I said that this was an interesting subject! I'm about off work now though, so I'll have to check back tomorrow. Adios!
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2024-11-14 23:24:45 +0000 UTCYeah people who constantly hook up, can get many woman/men but will always have a hard time to get the one. The catch 22 is, you want to find your one person but when you meet them, they wont want you due to your reputation of sleeping around, cheating, using people for this selfish desire, and your body count. Generally speaking because they have something you lack: Self respect (this is why in the movie - Scott Pilgrim vs the World, "self respect" is more powerful than than the power of love) There is a huge lesson to be had.
Thats MR. Baldamort
2024-11-14 23:15:18 +0000 UTCLOL! The tiger is less terrifying! You are spot on, Troy. My lesson was the guy I mentioned above. Rob. Rob was a playboy. He simply did...not...give...a...fuck. I remember one time we were all out and at a restaurant, like Applebees or something. Rob wanted to see this girl who was working there that he was talking to. We went, sat down, and she ended up coming over and sitting down with us and brought a friend with her that we did not know. We were talking for a second and then Rob says - to his friend that he came to see - "Your friend is hot." My mouth about hit the floor. He came there to meet Girl A, Girl A sits down with us with Girl B, and Rob says to Girl A that her friend Girl B is hot. My mouth hit the floor because I was thinking what must be going through Girl A's mind since this guy she was "talking to" just said her friend was hot in front of both of them! I felt bad for her. This was normal for Rob. He was a good friend to the guys, but to the girls... they were just people to have fun with. Here's the rub... as his reputation as a womanizer grew, he just got MORE and MORE girls. It was the opposite of what I expected. I never wanted to be like Rob and I never did become like Rob, but he was still a BIG lesson for me. There were a lot of lessons, actually, but one of them was that I simply cared about rejection too much. The more I cared about rejection the harder dating was. I see Rob, who just said whatever and didn't give a shit, and he had a new girl every week. Again, I didn't want his life, but from observing him work I saw that there was something self-defeating with being concerned about rejection. It does something to your behavior that doesn't help when it comes to meeting girls. It is completely understandable why so many guys are afraid to approach girls - as you said, Troy. It can be brutal. Some girls get hit on so much that they unleash their annoyance on those guys... and some of those guys probably took all day to work up the courage. That's one reason why many guys try to come in as "the friend" first - and I have a lot of thoughts on that but I've been talking enough for now. The friendzone can be a topic for another time maybe. MR. Baldamort, I enjoy the conversations too. Sometimes I worry that I am trying too hard to get conversation going here, but it's all in good fun to add some flavor to the commentary. I'm glad there are some people who don't mind bullshitting together.

Thats MR. Baldamort
2024-11-14 22:48:20 +0000 UTCTroy, see the issue as a guy, well for my cases, isnt a girl saying "no" its usually more than that. Its the times ive asked and the response is to personally attack me, call me creepy, or something along those lines due to how average looking I am, which I rate myself a 5 or a 6. Average looks, but a big heart. The silver lining is its good they said no because why would I want somebody like that anyway. Plus I cant take it personally, they dont know me so I have to remember that. See, it hard for me to find girls within my small friend group because they are all taken. Hell my best friend tried to wingman for me once and the girl he was talking to about me just fell for him instead (even though he denied her out of respect for m.e. Talk about bad luck though lol. My point is, its hard to meet somebody through mutual friends with how small my friends group is IRL. So I have to muster up some confidence, charm and wits and cold approach or get good at dating apps which i hate using since im a semi traditional meet in person kinda dude.

Troy Hickman
2024-11-14 22:30:16 +0000 UTCMr B, I have dealt with things in my life so scary they would have turned other people's hair white, but none of them compares to the fear of asking out a woman for the first time. In that one moment, it encapsulates your feelings toward this person, your insecurities about yourself, your viewpoint on what your future might be like, and it all revolves around her simply saying yes or no. I remember once in my first year of college asking a young lady out, and she simply looked at me, giggled for a second, and then walked away. I took that as a no lol. It's funny, because I've talked to women before about the dating scene, and a lot of them don't realize how terrifying the asking out process can be, because so many of them have never done it. If I had to make a choice between asking a woman out, and being attacked by a Bengal tiger, well, all I can say is here kitty kitty...π
Troy Hickman
2024-11-14 22:26:42 +0000 UTCI met my girl at a club. I wasn't a "clubber" but I did go sometimes. I went with a few friends one night to this club downtown and one of the guys I was with ended up talking to 3 girls by himself. I remember looking up from the bar and seeing him in the middle and three girls talking to him, their backs facing me. Despite how chatty I can be here, I was actually always a little more on the shy side. Not cripplingly shy, but still a little shy. I used to hate that about myself. I made it my mission one year to become more outgoing and just pushed myself into social situations with pure determination and overcame the shy part. Practice doesn't make perfect but it does make things better. I walked up to my friend and these three girls, smiled real big, and simply introduced myself. I don't remember what I said exactly, but it was something simple like, "Hey, Rob, introduce me to your friends." We did introductions, I shook each of their hands, etc. Nothing big. No "game". Just being friendly, smiley, and completely NOT awkward. Here's the funny thing though... Katy and I went to the same high School. I didn't know it and I did not recognize her. I was a senior when she was a freshman. Later on she told me that she recognized me from school but sadly I did not recognize her. Anyways, long story short is that we all chatted in the group for a bit and I asked Katy if she wanted to dance. (Keep in mind, I can't dance for shit! lol) She said yes, and that's how it all started. I leave you with a tease that I absolutely will NOT give more detail about, but something else happened that night that was EXTREMELY embarrassing, but luckily ended up not being a big deal. It could have been, though... Nope! I won't tell! :)
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2024-11-14 22:17:50 +0000 UTCAlso i just want to say i love this community and how engaging it is. Seeing Dasha also chime in sometimes too. You don't get this with a lot of bigger reaction spaces. This is why Dasha Reacts is my favorite place to chill. I hope she can see that perspective. That no matter the viewrship, you can't beat having a good community.
Thats MR. Baldamort
2024-11-14 22:16:27 +0000 UTCYeah to quote what Austin powers once said "Im a one woman man, baby" as in I'm not a guy who goes out sleeping around or goes to clubs (unless it's to designated driver) there are more respectable places to meet people. I have been on several dates some relationships while I was in the Navy. The odd thing is. I can drive a ship, I have shot missiles and torpedoes (not at people, just for practice, but the masculinity in your fingers for doing that is insane feeling) i have don't so many hard life risking things in the navy, but God damn finding a girl and being charming enough to eventually convince her to want to wife the hell out of her is hardest thing of all. Why do I of all people have a hard time with this. Its just some self contrast reflection I do sometimes. I am a one woman kinda guy. If I'm dating you I'm not talking to anybody else. Yet I've been the one cheated on, lied to, used. I try NOT to have walls up, I have an open heart to anybody that wants to feel like they are worth it. I'm a hopeless romantic and hopeless romantics hate being alone in life. I feel like just got to take steps to act on it. Is all. I'm aware I'm not going out to clubs or parties like my friends are to meet girls. I just dont want to rack in a body count so to speak even if i was charming enough. dating apps suck for me too as im an average looking fella. Either way, Im looking for a long term partner not somebody who just wants to sleep with me. In that case Im the black sheep of my small friend group I suppose. Im not complaining btw, just some perspective on me. I hope I dont say anything to put anybody off. I sincerely wish the best for everybody here especially our fav Russian reaction creator.
Thats MR. Baldamort
2024-11-14 21:52:46 +0000 UTCMR. Baldamort, I may have interpreted Dasha incorrectly, but what I *think* she was saying was that Valentine's Day isn't a problem - as in it doesn't bother her if she's alone on that day. What does affect her is being away from her family during the Holidays. That's where the sting sets in. I could be wrong, but that's how I read her post anyway.
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2024-11-14 21:48:54 +0000 UTCDoce is 100% correct! Many people do not want to hear it, but what Doce said is true. I understand the tough situation that this is for guys, especially if you're not an outgoing person. If you're not very outgoing then when you do put yourself out there and ask a girl out, chances are you're going to be very awkward about it. It is a reflection of the inner turmoil and anxiety that you're feeling when you finally put yourself out there. If you're that twisted inside over taking this leap, then it is only more likely that your approach is going to make her uncomfortable as well. If you're awkward about it, she is probably feeling awkward too. Another problem is that introverted people tend to latch on to one person at a time. It's more comfortable for them this way, and more line with their personality. The downside of this is pretty steep, though. I already mentioned that by their nature introverted people tend to be more uncomfortable (and therefore awkward) when they do ask a girl out. More than that, they also tend to fall for a girl first, BEFORE they ever ask a girl out. This means the pressure they put on themselves is even more intense. You can imagine how this usually turns out when they finally do take their shot... This is a big problem for people who are not socially gifted and are introverted. I think this is a big part of why many are single. I don't blame women though, because no one is owed a shot. If you're even an average looking woman, you're getting hit on a lot, comparatively. Some of those guys will be awkward and uncomfortable, and some of those guys that are approaching make it very relaxed and chill. If you, as a guy, struggle in this area, you're just getting outcompeted. It sucks to say, but it's true. Guys with more social skills are going to make a better first impression most of the time, and spending too long focused on one girl before taking your shot is not playing your chances wisely. I am not advising going around like the brazen douchebags-although those guys also tend to do well enough, partly because they put themselves out there constantly. I'm talking even average normal guys who can at least be cool will still outcompete those guy who find the whole approaching thing very awkward and uncomfortable. Worse, is that for these guys who rarely ever take their shots (and when they do come off awkward) they're more likely to be turned down harshly by the girls. A lot of these guys have been called names for being weird about it all. Not very fair, but it happens. It really makes the dating scene appear hopeless for these guys. The answer truly is in what Doce said. You have to take risks and confront your fears. Take more shots. It does get easier. It also is easier if these guys don't spend months crushing on a single girl before asking her out. By then you've wasted so much time on a girl who may never have been interested in you in the first place, plus you've invested so much on her emotionally that you're almost certain to make it awkward to make one of your rare moves. I wish it weren't this way, but what are the choices? I'm happy to hear what other options are out there for these guys, as the only viable one I can see is to get out of your comfort zone, meet girls, and ask them out for coffee, or a movie, or something else depending upon the situation. Or just be a Passport Bro, lol! Apologies, I used to study this subject a lot and have spoken to countless guys about this very thing. I have a lot to say on it...
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2024-11-14 21:40:15 +0000 UTCLol, in that case, Dasha, I need you to wing man for us on valentines day so we can get a date. Wingman for us guys here on patreon. We cool company.π¬π¬π¬π€ͺ Also, knowing how cool and appealing of person you seem to be, I dont think anybody here is shocked in the slightest that valentines day isnt a problem for you. I think you have the biggest team of guys here rooting for you to find a special somebody :)
Thats MR. Baldamort
2024-11-14 21:28:57 +0000 UTCI think by the end of the day we all want someone to come home to, some people just got luckier to meet their partners earlier. I donβt see it as complaining or anything , it is what it is :) I got myself a dog , and my problem got half solved lol
Dasha
2024-11-14 21:20:11 +0000 UTCOh no! I am sorry to hear that!!! Valentineβs Day has never been a problem for me, but Christmas and New Year eeeesh, but I think itβs mostly because my family is far
Dasha
2024-11-14 21:16:42 +0000 UTCTo quote the great Wayne Gretzky (I think): βYou miss 100% of the shots you donβt takeβ. Gotta take some risks in life. So what if you miss sometimesβ¦
Doce
2024-11-14 20:44:59 +0000 UTCMy dad is just crazy. He is an old man now, and yet one day I went out into my backyard and found him lopping the tops of my wooden fence off to make them more even. He was up on a rickety 12 ft ladder with a chainsaw in one hand. And yes, Dasha, it was a cordless chainsaw...π
Troy Hickman
2024-11-14 20:33:36 +0000 UTCHa! If you had any idea how many times I have watched Dasha's reaction to that...
Troy Hickman
2024-11-14 20:28:37 +0000 UTCOh, I hear you on that, Mr B. I think I have had one good Valentine's day, and that was with a girl I was engaged to for a while. Unfortunately, she eventually dumped me, saying that she was not ready to be married. Then, 4 months later, on Christmas morning, I saw her wedding announcement to someone else in the local paper. Man, it was a good Valentine's day, but one crappy ass Christmas...π
Troy Hickman
2024-11-14 20:25:38 +0000 UTCValentines Day is the holiday that I feel most alone. In all my almost 30 years on this earth, not once have I had the opportunity to spend it with a special someone while everybody else around me has somebody. Massive amounts of envy.
Thats MR. Baldamort
2024-11-14 19:12:29 +0000 UTCI have been there. Nothing is more intimidating for a man than meeting his fiance's father for the first time. The only thing I had in common with that man was that we both had been in the Navy. Our family get-togethers always made me uncomfortable, but everyone else always got along excellent. But nowadays I spend my holidays alone, and there's nothing more uncomfortable than that.

2024-11-14 19:06:54 +0000 UTCIf I ever meet your mafia family, can you introduce me as "the Machine"? LOL! (If you know, you know... haha!)
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2024-11-14 18:48:59 +0000 UTCBRO, I wasnt expecting "Yeah my family part of the mafia" on my bingo card in this conversation. I have no idea if I should have sympathy or be impressed. Congrats though for sticking to the right path though Troy. One scary uncle.
Thats MR. Baldamort
2024-11-14 18:44:19 +0000 UTCWhoa! Sounds like you probably have better stories to share than all of us! You have my attention, anyway. lol!
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2024-11-14 18:27:11 +0000 UTCSee, in my case it's not just my parents. What you have to realize is that I grew up in a crime family, the sort of thing that is usually referred to as the midwestern Mafia. Most of my extended family has done jail time, and I have several uncles who have been on the FBI most wanted list. We are talking very serious crimes here (for example, I had one uncle who went to a police safe House and gunned down a witness they were protecting who was going to testify against my uncle). This can be a problem. Once the girl I was seeing and I had to meet my Uncle Mike to buy a car off of him. Afterwards, the woman said *that was the scariest human being I have ever met.* I have always had to make an effort to let them know that this has nothing to do with me, that in fact I have always been considered the *white sheep* of my family because I am so straight laced and law abiding. I stayed on the right path, got my college education, became a writer and a professor, and I think generally I'm considered a model citizen. We can't pick our families (although I'm sure mine can be picked out of a police lineup)...π
Troy Hickman
2024-11-14 18:22:52 +0000 UTCfair fair. and yeah I was half joking. The bachelor part I'm not joking though π
Thats MR. Baldamort
2024-11-14 18:13:22 +0000 UTCI agree with everything you just said. Just to be clear, I am not suggesting that you don't DESERVE sympathy, just that I don't think that it is what will bring about changes to circumstances that you are unhappy with.
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2024-11-14 17:58:54 +0000 UTCLol, no not offended but I'm not somebody that likes the stigma of men don't deserve sympathy or empathy. We are all just simple souls looking for connection. Society needs to stop casting men aside just because they are men and "they should be strong if not, you are a loser" sort of stuff. Woman generally speaking have support groups and are not told well "man up and stop being a bitch" just not a fan of how men treated by society as whole for not being strong at times. Loneliness and depression is a huge among men more so than woman for this reason.
Thats MR. Baldamort
2024-11-14 17:45:55 +0000 UTCthat is indeed awkward af.
JokesterHollywood
2024-11-14 17:37:53 +0000 UTCMR. Baldamort, I say this with 100% respect, so please do not take offense... but no hugs my friend. Sympathy and pity is not going to help. This is one thing I love about guy friends; they tend to kick you in the butt to get you to help yourself rather than allow you to feel sorry for yourself. I think this is a good thing, and that's because the solution almost always comes from within. I'll be a pal and kick you in the butt a little rather than giving you hugs. I hope you're not offended or bothered by that, but IMO that's the road to start going down. If you were just making a joke, then you have my full apologies for having the joke go over my head.
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2024-11-14 17:28:11 +0000 UTCMy dad was about as calm, cool, and collected as a man can get. That's why when he lost his temper at us boys growing up, we knew we were in some shit. He was a bit "straight-arrow" and as a result could be a bit boring and uptight at times, but that went with his occupation. As a Police Chief he had to have a sterling reputation, so he didn't get involved in any misbehavior that I ever remember. My mom was the partier. She was always the life of the party, and would talk to anyone. I get that from her. I have a grounded side that comes from my dad, and then a side that can be a bit excessive that comes from my mom. I was never worried about my parents being weird around a girlfriend. I was always confident that a girl would love my family. I was more worried about whether a girl's family would accept me. Guys know guys, and I always worried about how a girl's dad would act towards a guy coming around to date his daughter. Fortunately, this largely went pretty well, but still had some challenges. No matter what, you're always one small misstep away from her father disliking you so it's a fine line to walk. At least that's how it felt.
Michael@GetFitwithDogs
2024-11-14 17:17:52 +0000 UTChahaha I have never met the parents, but I have been in a situation where I saw the together pictures at the parents place, I see why this got confusing lol
Dasha
2024-11-14 16:57:41 +0000 UTCFolks, it may be time to share some embarrassing, funny, or challenging stories of when you met the parents or family of someone you were dating! My family and Katy's family were not nearly as different as Greg and Pam's families, but there were still some differences. Primarily, her family are all very Catholic and my family is very indifferent towards religion. Not "anti-religion", just not religious. Her parents finding out that I had very little interest in their religion definitely made it awkward for them in the beginning. Also, when we moved in together that was also a big deal for them because-in their traditional view-their daughter shouldn't be moving in with a man if they're not married first. Adding on top of this, sex was also something they frowned upon before marriage. π Funny enough, I don't actually disagree with those values at all. Meaning, I am not saying that they are wrong for feeling that way. I lean much closer to this traditional view on couples than I do towards a "care free, do-what-you-want" point of view. Still, we were dating 2 years before moving in together and we were both interested in getting our lives started. They had to deal with it, but at least they did so behind closed doors and never confronted us about it. Still, these were issues that her parents had, even if they liked me and accepted me. They never said it, but I suspect they felt I was corrupting their daughter a bit since she was making these choices with me. They shouldn't feel bad though, as they did a good job with her. Here we are, still together, still enjoying each other's company. To this day, she's the only girl I've been with and I am just the second guy in her life. Before we met she was with one other guy, and they were together for a year. So I would say that they should feel good about her choices and how she turned out. Especially since her sisters have had far more tumultuous relationships the entire time Katy and I have been together. She has 3 sisters and 1 brother. 5 siblings total. Of all of their kids, we have had the most secure relationship, I would say. So even though it was tough for her parents to accept that I was not a part of their religion, I think now they're grateful that our relationship has been so successful. It's not perfect of course, as we have completely different interests/hobbies, and both us being so headstrong has led us to our own battles, but we still make it work as a team. I am confident things will continue strong, but if for some reason we did not I would still want to find someone like her. I would say she has defined what a good woman is like for me. In conclusion, no super embarrassing "meet the parents" type of thing for me, but definitely some doubts and worries were involved on her parent's side. On the reverse side, my parents love Katy. One of the last things my dad said to me before he passed away was, "You found a good one." Hopefully you all have better stories than I do. I could always share some stories about how I had too much to drink at a family party (on her dad's side) and fell asleep on their couch... but what can I say? I didn't mention this before, but her dad's side actually have Russian ancestry and they love to drink. Therefore when her dad's side hosts family get-togethers I always ended up drinking too much with them... and the cigars! LOL! π€£

2024-11-14 16:28:47 +0000 UTCBro my parents are the same. I mean I'm almost in my 30s and I've never had the opportunity to introduce sombody to my parents but, my dad always aims to make people laugh and tell jokes. Especially to my mom so i hope it won't be too embarrassing. He's good at breaking the ice as I'm more sort of introverted.

2024-11-14 14:58:01 +0000 UTCDasha in Meet the Parents: "I have never met anybodies parents not sure how realistic this is" Dasha in Meet the Fockers: "I've been through a couple of the scenarios and Meet the parents is more real than you think" It seems, in between these two movies Dasha gained some life expirence points π¬ please tell me it wasn't the embarrassing dinner with the parerent scenario. That's what it was for me. More than once!

2024-11-14 14:53:02 +0000 UTCGreat reaction! Likewise, I have been through similar situations, and they are always uncomfortable. It doesn't help that my parents are a few nuggets short of a Happy Meal...π
