Hi SkiGirl!!! Here I am! Thanks for missing me. I haven't been around much because I have family from Switzerland visiting. I have been reading some posts here and there but have been too busy to even write. I did read about your Pro Shot "fiasco". I'm sorry it didn't work for you. It really did for me. I almost felt bad for reccomending it. I do love it on MY floors.

I also couldn't contribute to any of the "what you did in HS, etc."posts. My dad was so strict (very italian) I couln't even wear make-up. I am now 30, married (to a WONDERFUL man) and have a baby and still when I wear lipstick (especially the Smashbox lipgloss) he tells me: "What , you had pork chops for dinner???" LOL

Oh Cynthia...family in town, you must be swamped...but how fun for them to see the baby! Switzerland...now that's far! My dad wouldn't let me leave the house in shorts or skirts. When I was 25 and went home to visit, I was headed to the airport in shorts (it was July and 99 degrees) and he asked in that tone "Aren't you going to change before your flight?" hahahaha Got to love daddy's...they really know what the boys are thinking...since they did it themselves!

Oh my goodness Laura Lou. You too? You are right. It's because they did it themselves!! My dad wouldn't let me wear shorts either!! I could NEVER wear a skirt at school. Never had friends over or could go out with anybody. My real first date (embarassing to say) was my husband. Please don't laugh....my brother had to come along, and oh yes I can't believe I am admitting to this but I was 24. When I think about it : What a sicko!! Never did anything because I was deadly afraid of him. Now, I don't care what he says. the mental abuse is OVER!!!!

PHEW Cynthia!!! Glad you're OK...The Pro Shot wasn't awful and really in my heart of hearts I knew I wouldn't get the result of sanding and sanding and sanding and then sealing floors...like it takes forever and is a MESS..I just WISHED for that result!!! I guess this house just use to be my hobby and much of my life - now I have other stuff to do, spend less time on it and want it to look as good as it use to. I need a reality check! Have fun with the company and "talk" soon!

My dad wouldnt let me wear shorts.I remember one day i brought my gym shorts home and put them on.My dad come in from work,and notice i had on my gym shorts,he saud ill give you five minutes to get those shorts off.I got them off less than five minutes.My parents wouldnt let my sister or me go off.We would cry because we couldnt go like the other girls.When I started dating,my parents had to know every thing about the boy,also they had to know about the boy's parents.My first date was a double date.my MOTHER come in the living room ,and said you have TERRy back here by nine oclock.We went to the movies,and we couldnt go out to eat,it was almost nine. I only went with him a couple of times.HE said he didnt like the idea of having to bring me home so early.He was a very nice guy.I dont hold this against my parents,but i wished that they would have let us go more.THEy would tell us we are not being mean, we love you and we dont want you to get hurt.We thought that they were being mean at times,but i guess they knew best.Im married to a wonderful man.We have three children.MY mother and father was crazy about my husband.I love my husband more and every day. The LORD has been so good to us.

Something good for those of you with daughters: My father would meet any boy who'd come to take me out with a very firm handshake and then ask "What is your favorite flower?" The stunned boy would ask "WHY?" and dad would say "really, what is your favorite flower?". The boy would answer "Roses." and my father would put his arm around him and say "Roses? Great, now I know. Just feel at ease tonight as your out with my daughter, if you so dare even to make the slightest wrong move with her....rest assure in knowing that your favorite flower will be laying right on top...catch my drift?" Every boy would shake after that. Oh my dad...gotta love him!
