Maybe a canoe too! :th



I think he was just maybe a little to friendly.
A lot of older people don't quite get that asking things like he did and making statements like he did makes people uncomfortable.

Since he did make you uneasy letting management know isn't a bad thing. If no one says something and he turns out to be a creeper (unlikely at his age) then his behavior is not addressed.

@apryl29 I agree with Henny that it was probably his age. When he was young that was a way to compliment someone. And I think he meant it that way.
Make a report of it though. DQ can do something about it or not but you will feel better letting them know.

Thanks! I'll send DQ a message.. They can at last go over what is and isn't appropriate to say to a customer. And you sure don't call a child "attractive".

I think that is the right way to go.
He needs to know that in today's society (especially not knowing a person's background) certain things simply cannot be said.





It is 9:30 am 85° and 31% humidity. :sick

I am certainly NOT built to handle heat or humidity. :hmm

I did now and pull some weeds. Yes there are always MORE weeds.
I use a mulching blade so the birds got one bag full of clippings and the tomatoes got the other.

:woot I have eliminated enough grass that there are just 2 bags from mowing.
That does mean more weeds in massive lowered and gardens though. :hmm
 
Whew o.k thought I was trippin!
Lulu is slowly leaving a trail of feathers everywhere. I thought it was the rooster being a douche to yet another girl until I saw them literally fall out of her butt.
Kind of early isn't it? :hmm

I have several who have been doing a slow molt. Lots of feathers all over the place, but no one is bald, yet. Ash has no tail. My one white egger is in zombie mode.. Several others w/ feathers poking out weird. I've been grabbing good feathers in case we need them for craft stuff.

Our old men still talk like it is the 50's where telling a teen she's attractive was a compliment not creepy.
He'll have no idea what he did wrong.;)

Skipped everything but the last 2 pages. Hope everyone's doing well. The trip to TN was great.. except the ride home. Took 12+ hours instead of the 10 it took to get there b/c of construction and disabled vehicles.
We visited the Ripley's Aquarium, Knoxville Zoo, Rainforest Adventures, Forbidden Caverns, saw Spiderman in the theater. Ate too much fast food. Spent wayyy too much $$ on junk. Kids only got to swim twice. Spent a lot of time at the convention center & got a lot of team bonding in.
My daughter's clogging routine got platinum, 5th place over all, a judge's award for "owning the stage", and a callback. They performed again on Saturday & didn't win, but they did win $100 cash prize.. so that's like $16 when divided between her teammates. The other routine got high gold. The other clogging routine my daughter isn't in got double platinum & 10th place, but their division was much more cutthroat.
We had 2 performances, both clogging, in the callbacks. It was a really great week. We had a lot more stuff we wanted to do, but dance stuff came first and the days were long so there was little opportunity to do anything on dance days.
We grabbed a box of Georgia peaches on the way home for $20.. spent last night blanching and freezing most of them.

Links to her dances:
Beautiful Life - Clogging (my daughter is the giant)

Tribute to Mom - Jazz (my daughter starts in the back left)

I've got a question for you all in the south about something. We stopped at a DQ one day for lunch. We got our food and everything was fine. The cashier was an older woman who was super nice. The cook messed up my daughter's sandwich and they were super nice about fixing it. Then while we were eating an older man (75+ years old) came towards our section w/ a tray of desserts and asked if they were ours. I said no, he didn't seem to understand. I told him we had our food, our number was 33, and that food, number 3, belonged to someone out in the main area. He left and came back a little while later and wiped off the table next to us and said he found where that other 3 went. We chatted w/ him a little b/c he seemed like a nice old man. He asked where we were from and I told him Ohio, & we're here for the dance competition. He turned to my older daughter and asked her what kind of dance she did. She said clogging. He told us that there were cloggers there the day before, also from Ohio. I said "Oh, she was probably one of ours, there aren't any other cloggers here from Ohio". Then says "but you're more attractive" to my daughter. Then he goes on to ask "How old are you? 17?". She says she's 16. I don't remember what he said after that, but as soon as he walked away we gathered our stuff and left. As we were walking out he says You girls come back again. We walked quickly to our car, locked the doors, and left.
So my question is: Is that just how southern people are or was that guy a total creeper? I didn't get the pedo vibe from him originally, but any time someone asks my teen daughter's ages it bothers me. I'm going to email the DQ people about it, but I can't tell if he was just being a weird old man, or if he was being a pervert.

We encountered several people who made me feel a bit uneasy while we were traveling (people staring a little too long), but this was the only time someone blatantly said something that didn't seem right.

Inside the coop it is 90° and 50% humidity. The coop is in the shade all day.

Inside the house it is 80° and 85% humidity.

So I know why it is so hot now. It is humid out so the swampy just cannot do it. :(

I took cold water to the girls and hooked up the soaker line so they can play in the puddles.

Yes my oldest girl is growing a spur, a double spur at that, on only one leg.

I've been keeping an eye on it because at first it just looked like swelling. But it's a rock hard spur. Only at my place.

The commandment strikes again!!! :woot
