Following on from Kath's "I'm bored - 20 questions" thread. Has anyone met a famous person? How famous? What happened?
I'll start:
In 1963, when I was 6 (no, really - for those that saw my photo!) my sister was on TV in Canberra - which is the capital of Australia!!! She started off doing news and weather, and then she had her own programme - a children's programme, which I can't remember the name of (I was only 6!!) but anyway, I went on it one time! I was the guest of honour!! ME!! She had about 10 kids on the show (live) every day, who sat on the floor in front of her, but I got to sit next to her (you have to know that she's 20 years older than me!) and get cuddled. Well, 6 year old Sandy was a bit of a tomboy - so I'm really gonna want to get cuddled by my big sister live on TV - NOT!! She had her arm round me while she introduced me, and I was whispering to her "stop cuddling me, get off!" of course, I didn't realise that every word I said was being picked up by microphones (!!!) Then they brought on a box of puppies from the local kennels for the other kids to play with - and Sandy's gone!! Off to play with the puppies. I always have loved dogs......
And that's all I can remember about my claim to fame!

Well, I admit to being older than 6 in 63, so in some year after that, when John Denver was my idol, and I was living in North Dakota, and married, and bored, in January in North Dakota (you get the idea), my H and I accompanied another couple to see a JD concert (nope, didn't meet him...darn) in Bismarck. The interesting part is that we FLEW in a 4-seater plane and it was 24 degrees (F, honest) below zero, and we only had a snow runway for take-off and landing from our home town of 2,000.
After the concert we did not know if the plane would start or not, but JD was with us in spirit and it did start, hesitantly, but the windows were all frozen over. We made it back ok, singing JD's songs all the while and the pilot kept scraping a peep-hole in the frost to fly by. And the sky overhead was dancing with a million stars. Never have I felt more spiritual.
I suppose I should mention that the pilot had only one eye.
This is good! I have never (knowingly) been in a plane when the pilot had only one eye, sorry Cory, but it is a bit scary, huh?
I was, however, in a little plane once in Belize, when the luggage was too heavy, and the pilot got us all to move the luggage forward because the tail of the plane was resting on the runway. We moved all the luggage (you guessed it, we weren't exactly first class!!) but the tail was still resting on the tarmac, but this wasn't a problem! The pilot just got a few guys from the airfield to lift the tail and run with it until he got up enough speed....... fine, I think. Until we're up in the sky. Then I start wondering who's gonna catch it when we land??? Landing was even funnier. There was a sleeping dog (I swear to God this is the truth) on the runway, so the pilot didn't want to hurt the dog, no worries: he just landed it on a bit of grass next to the runway.
And she lived to tell the tale........!!!
Well just brushes really but not sure if any of these really count:>)
Well I hung out with the Brooks and Dunn band and Trick Pony one night in a restricted area in a bar around here after their concert. I didn't really talk to Brooks and Dunn but was leaning up against the two back to back for a bit - in hindsight, I should have talked to them. LOL I met all the band members of Trick Pony (if any of you know who they are) and hung out with them for a bit in their big motorhome/moving house or whateveryacallit. Their manager (and Kenney Chesney's manager) is married piece of crap who could not leave any of us 3 gals alone even though he knew we were all married (at the time anyway). Damn, I could have had back stage passes to Kenny too ugh!
Many years ago I was in line at a little Jewish eatery in Los Angeles and was in line and behind me walked up Nicholas Cage (skinny) and Charlie Sheen (he's short). They were standing in line behind me. Of course I didn't say a word and they got in before me. LOL
I talked to one of the Andretti's (Mario? can't remember which? or his son) when I was working for a catering company in CA and we catered the Laguna Seca races.
Met the fiddle player in Brad Paisley's band a few years ago - nice guy.
Does having dinner with the Mayer of Ft. Lauderdale a couple years ago count?
How about being in Marcus Allen's condo in Brentwood, CA years ago? He wasn't there though. Had some real nice cars in the garage though.
But, can anyone beat my having dinner with Princess Diana? Kensington Palace was so beautiful, but not a patch on the Princess, of course. She was witty, attentive and great fun.
By the way - this is a lie. I wish I'd met her, but I never did!!
xxxx
Edit to add: Night night, I'm off to bed. Look forward to reading your fame claims tomorrow xxx

Never met anyone famous. But in true Canadian fashion I have SEEN or been near to alot of famous people but never went up to them to ask for an autograph or anything for fear of "bothering them". I guess that's why celebs like Toronto so much.
Mostly I've seen famous people at events, on airplanes, in the airport or in trendy restaurants.
In airplanes and airports its been either sports figures like hockey players (the goalie for our beloved Maple Leafs was sitting in the Montreal airport just a few weeks ago waiting for the same plane I was on) or its been politicians. I won't bore you with names you don't know but its been alot of MP's or such the most famous of whom was Joe Clark who was a former prime minister (a very brief one who got kicked out of a minority government).
The coolest guy I saw but didn't meet in a restaurant was a very, very handsome John Stamos. Don't know if many people outside North America would know of him but he's quite good looking and in person even more so. Couldn't help but keep glancing at him as I ate dinner with some friends. My HINO actually met Robert DeNiro and Chazz Palmienteri who were in Toronto once for the Toronto Film Festival. HINO and friends were eating out really late one night in Greektown and DeNiro and pals were at a table nearby. HINO introduced himself.
But then again HINO having been a bartender for alot of years and recently having done a stint as a limo driver has met alot of famous people. He drove Aerosmith around for a day. He got to watch their concert from backstage. He also spent a whole day chauffeuring a famous actor who's name now escapes me including picking up Shania Twain for a business lunch with him. He said Shania Twain was pretty and gracious and very tiny...
HINO also did a stint as a stuntman and film extra and got to meet the likes of Burt Reynolds during a filming--just one of HINO's many numerous occupations...
I've met quite a few people in the world of metal. Years ago, I had a friend who worked for a small, now-defunct metal magazine. I accompanied her to some shows, carried her camera equipment, got to sit in on the interviews, etc. Anyways, here's the list...
Bruce Dickinson, lead singer from Iron Maiden
Don Dokken (singer) & George Lynch (guitarist), Dokken
Frankie Banali (drummer) & Kevin Dubrow (singer), Quiet Riot
Metallica, before they were huge, about 2 months before their original bassist, Cliff Burton, died in the bus crash.
The one and only, the legend, Ozzy
I also met and partied with two people in martial arts who went on to become semi-famous. It was back in 1982, at the after tournament party for the J. Parks East Coast Nationals. I partied with Cynthia Rothrock and Billy Blanks.
And one of the highlights of my life: I had dinner with Buffalo Bob!
Cory
You are not a human being having a spiritual experience, but a spiritual being having a human experience.
about a hundred years ago i met and hung out with gloria gayarno(spelling), a back up singer with david cassidy haha
i have dinner and socialised privately and publically with a few politicians too,even two prime ministers!! when my hubby and i got married it was like a who's who of a particular political party (well it was aus and the 80's haha).
cant really think of anyone, oh my son had his back signed by deb harry (blondie) in february after her concert, at least i got to take him home haha
A few years ago I was doing some trail work in Colorado and the brother-in-law to Tommy Hilfiger was on my crew. I would have never known except that he wore these really swell clothes to do trail work and the rest of us looked like hobos. I remarked on his nice clothes and he told me he got all of them free from Tommy.
I have some writer friends who are pretty famous. Peter Leschek (Nat Geog), Jim-dale Vickery (Backpacker mag), Mary Blocksma (check her website, she is also a breast cancer survivor). Nice folks, all.
Well as I was coming out of the washroom at the Daytona 500 I ran smack dab into John Travolta. He was looking for the restroom and I pointed the way. He asked me how I was liking the race and I responded it was great. We chit chatted for another couple seconds and off he went. It wasn't till I got back to my seat that I thought hey this guy looks familiar. Sure enough I realized that it was him!! He was the grand marshal that year.
If any of you know who Honeymoon Suite is...........when I was 17 I went back to their hotel room and partied so I met all of them.
I met and shook hands with Prime Minister Paul Martin.
Hmmmm yep not bad for a small town girl from Canada
Where do I start, lol. Growing up in So. Calif. I have actually seen and met a few celebrities and I have seen many films being made on location.
HITS:
One year at the Hollywood Christmas parade (before the baracades) I met Leif Garret and Robby Benson, who were big teens stars at the time. They were both really nice. I saw an episode of CHiP's being filmed and met most of the cast, including Erik Estrada & Larry Wilson (Ponch & Jon). The entire cast was very friendly, and joked around with each other a lot. A few years ago I went back to So. Calif. for a vacation and I met Dennis Rodman at a shoe store in Huntington Beach. He was not very friendly and wouldnt even speak to us, but his girlfriend got him to pose for a picture with my sister and the kids. And I met Larry King, along with his wife and two little boys at LegoLand. My youngest son actually played with them in line for a couple of minutes. They were really nice and seemed like a pretty normal family. I live near the Nazareth Speedway and I met Mario Andretti (He used to live in Nazareth, but moved to No. Calif.. He was a guest speaker at my sister-in-laws college graduation. I also saw (not met) Joe Pesci at JFK airport. We were getting on the same plane to Italy. So he was on the plane, we got off in Paris to switch planes, and I was right behind him (he is very short). He was with his mom! I didnt have the nerve to bother him, but I did take a picture of him from afar, lol. Anyway, he got on a plane going to Milan from there and we were going to Naples.
AND MISSES:
They also filmed parts of the "Karate Kid" at the arcade near my house, parts of "Grease" at a local high school, parts of "Corvette Summer" at a local car wash, and parts of the TV show "Square Pegs" (Sarah Jessica Parker) at the same high school, but I didnt meet any of the stars. I do have a friend who was in the Drama Club at school and he was used as an extra in "High School USA" and met Michael J. Fox.
That's all I can think of at the moment, LOL.

These aren't my brushes with fame, but a couple of friends of mine.
I have a friend who lives in Pacific Palisades Ca. She helped produce Barbra Streisand's world tour several years ago. She travelled all over the world with Babs. She also worked for Dolly Parton, Neil Diamond and too many others to count. She also helped prodcue the Presidential innauguration for Bill Clinton several years ago. I love to hear her stories.
Her second husband had an affair. My girlfriend went to the house and took all his clothes and threw them all over the front yard from a second story balcony. His clothes were all over the trees, shrubs and drive-way. Then she released the emergency brake from his red Jag and let it roll into the pool.
I told her she should produce a story about that.
A family member of mine who thinks he is a big-shot Republican, donates $$$), so he gets invited to some innaugurations. He dated my girlfriend who is a die-hard Irish Catholic DEMOCRAT.
It's rather ironic to see the photo of her with this fam member and a few Republican presidents and their wives. My girlfriend hides the picture from her brother.
I'm going to see the Rolling Stones Nov. 1st. I'm going to make a sign and walk in front of the stage-
First of all, Jane in the sky! - so your HINO has met Shania Twain? That don't impress me much!!!!!.......
Actually, I am impressed, cos I just love dancing to her music!
A couple more from me, you may not have heard of, so I'll just list them:
Dessie (Desert Orchid) the racehorse
Red Rum the racehorse - I walked him down the street
Trevor Brooking - soccer
Glenn Hoddle - soccer
Franki Dettori - jockey
Laura Davies - golf
Touched the Queen's car (THE Queen, not Freddie Mercury)
Was in the crowd at royal weddings: Charles and Diana and Andrew and Fergie.
Got a letter back from Fergie after I wrote to her when Diana died.
Tears for Fears singer, Roland Orzabal - in my taxi
Roseann Cash. Johnny Cash was a few feet away. Big man. Booming voice.
The Eagles Band. They got me in trouble at my job. Poop heads.
John F Kennedy waved at me and my friend Debbie when I was around 7 or 8. He was in a convertable in a local parade. We held a sign that said, "Say HI to Caroline". He liked that.
I met Grace Slick about 3 years ago.
Ram Dass gave me a hug once.
Lynn Andrews. She signed her book.
Jim Brandenburg--famous photographer for National Geographic.
Jessica Lang's sister.
MM, Kid, H2c, Night Mary, Chris, Cory, Quinn, Jbean, and Kat.

Does anyone want to guess which celebrity I've met the most?
I've met Donny in person a few times now. The first was on the talk show he and Marie had a few years back. They both came up to the audience after the taping was finished. We have a video of the show and you can see Donny talking to us and giving me a hug as the credits are rolling. We also got to talk to Marie that day. They are just as you would imagine they would be, very nice and down to earth. Donny is very handsome in person and looks much younger than he is. Marie is very pretty and smaller than she looks on screen.
I laugh about that particular meeting because my husband mentioned (before the show) that he didn't want me to embarrass him if Donny came up to us. I was quite composed and calm, but my husband couldn't get two straight sentences out of his mouth to save his life. He'll never live that one down. LOL
Another time I had a backstage pass and the whole family got to meet Donny after a Christmas concert. We were the last one's there and he talked with us for quite some time. Again, he was very down to earth and has quite a sense of humor.
Anyone remember Ray Stevens and the song The Streak? Several years back when our children were small we were eating breakfast at a restaurant and he walked in and sat at the booth behind us. He started making goofy faces at our son which led to a conversation with us. He was very funny, and a very nice man.
I recently met Bart/Quinn, H2C and his wife NM from the boards. That meant as much (or more) to me as meeting Donny.
GT
Edited to add: A few weeks back I was busy doing household chores and my cell phone rang. It was Cory. He's not a celebrity, but he should have been. He has this beautiful "radio voice" and could have chosen that as a career. Made my day.
Edited this time for typos and to let Tex know I was thinking of him.

""""I recently met Bart/Quinn, H2C and his wife NM from the boards. That meant as much (or more) to me as meeting Donny.""""
There's not gonna be any Bart/Quinn, H2C, or NM shrines or scrap books added to the house is there?
All kidding aside, meeting you and H was way more important than the hug that Louise Mandrel gave me even after I warned her that I had a bad cold. She said "Oh Honey, come here."
That song came out when I was in Jr. High and streaking was a big deal in our small town. I was standing at the window sharpening my pencil one day at school and a guy rode past on a motorcycle totally nude. It was 90 degrees outside that day. I'm thinking that leather seat had to be painful. LOL
Ok, so now I have to ask. Anyone ever go streaking?
GT
This message has been edited by gettingthere on Jun 28, 2005 6:59 PM
Nope, never been streaking. At least not out in public.
However, I once talked my husband into going skinny dipping out in a lake. It was dark and we were at a pretty secluded spot. It took me forever to convince him that no one would be out that late at night. We hadn't been in the water more than 5 minutes when the park rangers drove up and started shining these huge spotlights over the water where we were. My husband was not happy with me. LOL
""""Fish have been known to grab hold and yank down.
Whether it's a sun fish or a great white, the exit-out-of-the-water speed is the same.""""
I'm sitting here laughing (with sound which is rare for me) as I think I'm finally catching on. This whole RedWolf/RoseWolf persona is your "Joe Bob Leroy" by way of the written word. Because I'm trying to visualize the rather quiet reserved person (from America's heartland) that we met speaking the words out loud. LOL I can see JB saying these words, no problem.
This seems a really good time to post these lyrics.
"The Stranger", Billy Joel
Well, we all have a face that we hide away forever
And we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone.
Some are satin, some are steel,
Some are silk and some are leather.
They're the faces of a stranger,
But we'd love to try them on.
Well, we all fall in love,
But we disregard the danger,
Though we share so many secrets,
There are some we never tell.
Why were you so surprised that you never saw the stranger?
Did you ever let your lover see the stranger in yourself?
Don't be afraid to try again.
Everyone goes south every now and then.
You've done it.
Why can't someone else?
You should know by now.
You've been there yourself.
Once I used to believe I was such a great romancer.
Then I came home to a woman that I could not recognize.
When I pressed her for a reason,
She refused to even answer.
It was then I felt the stranger kick me right between the eyes.
Well, we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised that you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see the stranger in yourself.
Don't be afraid to try again.
Everyone goes south every now and then.
You've done it.
Why can't someone else?
You should know by now.
You've been there yourself.
You may never understand how the stranger is inspired.
But he isn't always evil and he is not always wrong.
Though you drown in good intentions,
You will never quench the fire.
You'll give in to your desire when the stranger comes along.
> That song came out when I was in Jr. High and
> streaking was a big deal in our small town.
I was probably 9 to 11 years old at the time. I remember sitting in McDonalds in our town one day and a whole group of "streakers" came running through the McDonalds. My formative years, and I thought it was kind of cool...
> Anyone ever go streaking?
I've never gone streaking, but my wife and I spent a lot of time at nude beaches and "clothing optional" hot springs when we were first married. It's great to get an all over tan, and feel the fresh air on our skin. Sure beats a wet and sandy swim suit stuck to your body...
The first time we got nude in public, I was really worried that "nature" would rise to the occasion and embarass me big time. But, it's amazing how quickly you forget that everyone around you is naked. Besides, most of the folks at nude beaches are far from playmates and GQ.
> I once talked my husband into going skinny
> dipping out in a lake.
Sounds like fun! I miss having the time and opportunity to do those things...
I was 17, my girlfriend was 18. We were driving in the afternoon. A blue van full of 'dudes' passed us on the highway. Two of them mooned us as they
s l o w l y passed, by sticking EVERYTHING out the windows. There was loud hooting coming from the van, and we both said something like, "eeewwww!".
We were on our way to my cousin's house outside of town.
We turned off the road and headed down the dirt driveway. Parked there at my cousin's house was the blue van. They were trapped. Of course my cousin didn't know that his buddies had done this, and he proceeded to introduce us to his wide-eyed friends. I felt like we already knew so much about them!
Never mooned anyone....but awhile back my son had some friends over for the night. Boys will be boys I suppose. One of them decided it would be fun to drop his pants and fart on the boy sitting behind him. My mother in law and I opened the door to the game room just as he pulled his pants down. Being the wise women that we are, we just quietly backed out of the room and shut the door. I heard my son say......Dude, you just mooned my mother and grandmother. LOL
I go streaking and skinny dipping every single day - in my bathroom..........
I went topless on a beach once, but I never could stand the sight of people being sick, so I covered up pretty quick.
I was all set to name my celebrity list and I see the thread has now changed to skinny dipping, streaking and farting on friends laps. So I'll toss aside my "B" celebrity list(sorry Linda Blair) for now.
Skinny dipping. Yup, every chance I get. Midnite moonlight swim, nice cold beer on the deck is relaxing as hell. Only problem is the skeeter bites in the ass can be...well, a pain in the ass.
The mooning and streaking I went cold turkey on as of last week. Gonna have to work on the farting thang though.
It can now be revealed...it's against the adminstrators/moderators unwritten code to lock a thread. The first one to do it would face severe sanctions, like being forced to endure a thousand huggy brackets from the others. A fate worse than death.
Chris.

MM do you really want that.....ummm wouldn't a nekkid male celebrity be better.
Speaking of which where the hell is all this eye candy coming from all of a sudden. Either I have my hormones in a knot or the guys in Tbay just got better looking LOL
"I heard my son say......Dude, you just mooned my mother and grandmother. LOL"
GT, that is too funny.
Well I've been skinny dipping but I'm lame and that was years ago... However, some guy I didn't know on a dance floor did pinch my ass a few months back and while he wasn't looking I pinched his back! Cept, I wasn't as nice as he was :>) LOL
Chris
You might still come to this forum so that you can "help" but I already have that intimate partner so I think I'm still coming for the laughs.
Well we can always go back to talking about Donny Osmond. Did I ever mention how good he looked in that loincloth in Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat?

Amazingly enough some men can still keep it up in a cold lake long enough to use it......................my ex and I had sex twice in the water.....once at a public beach and once with my parents not far away.
As for skinny dipping.....yeppers in my early years did that many times.
Did you ever dream when you started this thread that it would veer off to such things as skinny dipping, streaking, mooning, farting on people, men being bitten by fish or being able to "perform" in cold lakes?
I'm not sure how that all got started. I tried to keep everyone on track, I really did. Perhaps if we had a little tighter moderating around this place such things wouldn't happen.
I'd like to direct your attention about half way back up this thread to a post called "Is that you Ethel?" Let the evidence show that that is where the shameful nekkedness talk and the fishing with body parts stories started.
""""Amazingly enough some men can still keep it up in a cold lake long enough to use it""""
By long enough is that a length reference or a time reference?
I'm shocked that there are so many around here with cold lake experience.
Well I'll be darned, I guess I did start it didn't I?
In that case I guess it's up to me to officially get this thread back on track.
Tex, please continue with your story (your brush with fame) about Linda Blair and her spinning head. However, if you happened to be streaking, mooning, farting, skinny dipping, bitten by a fish, or having your private parts affected by cold water at the time of that meeting, please leave that part out.

Since G.T brought us back on track now I'm a huge sci-fi/horror buff. I love to go to conventions.
If you ever find yourself in Atlanta during Labor weekend here's the place to go: http://www.dragoncon.org/ . The largest one in the states.
72 hrs of non stop mayhem and fun.
The celebrites are mainly (B) list but so what.
The nicest was definately Nichelle Nichols(original Star Trek).
Kenny Baker(R2-D2)
Peter Mayhew(Chewbacca)
Traci Lords (not sure why she was there)
Linda Blair of course. I met her again at a convention in Plano, TX.
And just a collection of other celebs from sci-fi TV shows.
Definately the scariest dude was the guy who played Jason Voorhees in a majority of the Friday the 13th flicks. He wouldn't talk or take the hockey mask off.
After alot of coaching and chants of "TAKE IT OFF" he finally removed the mask. It was scarier than anyone could imagine cause lo and behold...out popped Donny Osmond!
I'll bet Donny never imagined that his name would be mentioned so many times on an internet affair recovery site.
Tex, your post reminded me of a movie a few years back called Galaxy Quest with Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver. It wasn't that good of a movie, but it was built around a cute concept concerning a sci-fi TV show. Sigourney's breasts were hanging out of her space suit through the entire movie, but I'd better not mention that on THIS thread.

Miss(Ms) Weaver's best scene ever was in "Alien". After everyone else is killed and she finds herself alone with the alien and she's trying to get into a flight suit.
I bet it was Donny O who played the monster in that flick too.
>>>Miss(Ms) Weaver's best scene ever was in "Alien"<<<
And I'm sure it was her "acting" that you appreciated about that scene, wasn't it?
If Donny were to play a part in a movie he'd need to wear a mask and not talk. He can't act worth a crap. But he can sing, and even if he can't sing, he can sit there and look good.
I used to be a Kenny Rogers (almost met him one time) fan. My Dad always said.......that man can't sing worth a crap. My reply.....ah but he doesn't even have to sing, sitting there looking that good is enough.
Edited because I forgot exactly what GT said after reading all the other stuff after it!
No, I never dreamt that, after telling everyone about how, when I was six, I went on my sisters' TV show, that we'd end up farting all over each other.
Maybe someone should start up a new thread called 'Best farts of all time' - only I'm not starting it cos I don't fart...........
This message has been edited by sandy6957 on Jun 30, 2005 1:45 PM
Now you've gone and done it. Since you started this thread and now that you have used the word, fart, it has become legal for everyone else to use that word at will. Just be careful, Sandy. It's gonna be hard to police this thread now. LOL
It's 'honour' by the way....
I guess you must've read my reply to Leah on 'those sappy love songs' then?????
Edited to say that I just saw that my reply was number 69 - so are we gonna start another new thread on that?
This message has been edited by sandy6957 on Jun 30, 2005 3:11 PM
That Donny has been in England recently. I have to admit, he is pretty good looking, and he must be getting on a bit. Is that an English phrase? I mean, how old is he? I always preferred Michael Jackson myself, or is that a swear word on these boards nowadays?
All I can say is trust me and grab that B/F and go to Dragoncon. You'll love it.
I edited this: not for spelling but for a reality check. I miss my father is all.

So what. You think its easy living with an alter ego like Joe Bob Leroy in your head? Surely you know by now that you will not be judged by Judy or any of the rest of us. I for one am now curious and I'm not taking that lightly. So besides the fake ears, what else do you do? Tell me about your character.
don't be sorry. This is what happens when things ain't confronted and dealt with. Took along time Sandy...my father and then my W. I hate to say it but my W just coudln't handle my childhood anymore. She thought she could but the same ole issues coming up yr after yr and me doing nothing but react to them. She made me feel "safe" something I never felt before.
You are the product of someone else's bad behaviour. That's nothing to be ashamed of, is it? Gee, if it was your fault, we'd all have to get into what went through the mind of our biological fathers at the time of orgasm and stuff like that, and who wants to go down that road? I mean, you could really take this one to extremes if you wanted to. But I think you should take that chip off your shoulder and eat it. xxx
Except for Kat who is past this hopefully or at least dealing with it. You ask a W if her H had knocked up someone. How would YOU feel? My poor/or non poor spouse of course against his will had non protective sex and made YOU. Now they have to deal with you. You become an IT, that all, just an IT.
That's why I respect Chris. He knows what it means to be a father/dad.
Ok. I was 'a mistake' - my parents didn't want me. They were horrified when they found out I was on the way. I am the result of their sex, nothing else, just sex. Like we all are. My Mum tried to get rid of me by sticking knitting needles into 'herself' and drinking half a gallon of warm gin. I'm still here. Bad luck on them, hey? Should have said 'no' shouldn't they? This is all true, by the way, and I've no idea why it doesn't bother me. Hey? Maybe it does somewhere in my subconscious, I don't know, and I don't much care, cos it makes no difference, I'm still here. I do believe they loved me once I 'arrived', but then you love abandoned puppies, don't you, so that's not saying much. You're not so different to lots of us, Tex. Don't beat yourself up about it. You could have been an abortion.

I ain't the result of an OOPS, I'm the result of deception and lies. I'm a nightmare to a BW, we all know that. I'm the result 40 yrs later, still thinking and wondering why dad wasn't there.
Can we drop this now? I just needed to unload.

Edited: to all you good dads at that that don't get you due. THANK YOU!
I'm glad you added that last part. Plenty of 'em out there.
And thank you. I appreciate the compliment.
Funny thing...I've been planning for a week to go out tomorrow night and have a beer with a friend and her parents. Mainly, it's to tell the parents that they did a good job raising their daughter to be honest and loyal and decent.
Am I still on the thread of skinny dipping?? good... cause this is what I did all afternoon.... went to the lake with my best friend (a guy) and swam and sunbathed nekkid....
What a delight..nobody on the lake during the week...
Tex, my dear dear friend - cyber hugs at you - and don't be a stranger, you hear!! you too will get thru this...and more...
The mother of all threadjacks. I like that term Kat.

I'm not going to get all sappy on you, because I'm not a sappy person. But I hear ya, and I've been there done that. It's scary as hell when you put all those things that have been rumbling around in your head out for all to see. I'm proud of you for not hitting that delete button.
Ya know, that offer I made a few weeks back still stands. I'll be glad to send you a copy of all my Donny cd's if you think that will help.
I'm not sure how we've managed to do it, but we've come back around to the word "cold" and talking about underwear instead of brushes with celebrities. (I know your honour it's MY fault...... again)
Silly me on the bumper stickers Tex. I should have known you'd rather have the matching Donny & Marie dolls. Where would you like for me to send those?
You're such a gentlemen. Had I asked that question to any of my siblings they would have said.......bend over and I'll show you. And people wonder why I'm such a smart ass. LOL
My brother can get a little crude at times. That's been a running joke in my family ever since the movie Christmas Vacation came out. He never misses an opportunity to say that....or give me a hard time about Donny.
