Aw, your mommy found out! HAHA, that is so funny. I know how you feel, though. This past Christmas, my parents met Paulo’s parents for the first time. Imagine two classy, sophisticated intellectuals (who are foreign, no less) meeting my white trash mom and my stoic, personality-less Japanese father. It went fine, though, but I was sweating bullets the entire time. Good luck for whenever your parents meet Scott! xoxo - me

Glad it all went well. Shit like that is kind of why my parents didn’t meet my husband until he had put a big shiny ring on my finger. Oh, and hey, happy belated new year, slutbag!

Your mom told you to shut up and called you a big baby? After she snarked you in earnest? I heart your mom! Heh. Seriously, though, it sound like she’s being really cool about it.

That WAS brave! Not telling her about Scott, but telling her about your blog. Absolutely no one in my real life knows about my blog. Eek! But the Scott news seemed to be taken well. I just wish I knew how to turn blog friends into friends “with benefits.”

My mother still thinks there’s a strong possibility that the man I live with is going to chop me up into tiny pieces and leave me to rot in the basement. Never mind that we don’t have a basement and he doesn’t have the necessary attention span for chopping a human up.

Hehehe. I’ve given my Mom the “met him online” thing, and she’s ok with that, but there is no way in hell I would tell her I have a blog. She probably suspects, but confirmation would mean her nosy ass would go looking.

I’m sure your family will like Scott.

And I also think you should write about whatever issues you’re having, because we probably all have them too.

I think he’d need to be liquored up…he’d fit in then! Oh, Liz has some doubts about the quality of folks online. But Lord, they’re good people!

Some of the best people I know I’ve met online. It weirds people out IRL when I start a sentence with ‘So, my online friend did this…’ or ‘So, I read this in one of the blogs I read…’

For April Fool’s Day you should call your mom from your cell phone and whisper “You were right, mom. OMG, here he comes!” and hang up.

My best friend met her husband online. He’s fairly normal. I mean he is a little weird, but he’d have to be to marry her

I met my husband by doing the Y2K conversion of his company’s computer system. He was what the Mom calls a “GU” - geographically undesirable, and it worked out in spite of that.

If we had to rely on a fifty mile radius to show us our soulmates, we’d be as fucked up as our ancestors.

Wait. We are. More so, in some cases.

Never mind.
