The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

My son bought me an record player several years ago. JUST after I sold nearly all my LPs- needed the $$. The Half price store offered me a piddly 25Cents each. I walked out. Some man heard me and said he would pay much more. I told him the address and said it would take me such and such a time to walk home. I DID not want to ride with him.
When I got home he was already parked in my driveway.

It was broad daylight and my neighbors across the street were home - people used to look out for each other then.I felt good about that.

Told him I would bring the records down, he was at my bedroom door before I got there.
The only thing I had going for me is I can appear appear to be perfectly calm, when I am screaming on the inside. It has served me well on several occasions.

He took nearly all my records for $ 2. each and said I had them stored well, so he didn't need to try any first. Offered me a check, I said I only take cash. Took off to find an automated teller. Paid, left, fine.

A short time later he called and said if he wasn't married he would ask me out. WHAT???

I lied and said I had a boyfriend and wasn't planning to give him up. GEEZ. No wonder I prefer to be a hermit.

Another time some punks in the neighborhood were harassing me - can't remember why but the leader, came up to me and let me know all the things he could do to me. I said
" Go ahead, it takes a pretty BIG man to abuse a an old arthritic lady.Plus it's a felony if you assault a senior citizen." "Your buddies will be embarassed by you." He got a weird look on his face. I offered him a solution.

I told him we could both laugh,shake hands and smile like we actually knew each other. It worked. I don't know what he said to his gang BUT, I locked myself in the house and stayed there. And also had a major crying jag.
oh man, you are one brave lady, i would have never thought fast like you so glad you're so smart
 
thank you both, with that think I'm going back to bed.

Good idea DD, think I'll do that myself. I don't have to be at work until 10 so a nap sounds great, yesterday was exhausting.

You all have a great Saturday!
