DO I LOOK LIKE I GROW WEED??? PART 2 OF ONLINE DATING

This is part 2 of my segment on ONLINE DATING.  I'm actually building up to have a guest on my site later this week to tell of her true life experience and horror of online dating!!



Here recently my friend, Shannon(names and places have been changed to protect the innocent), got all caught up in the fantasy of online dating.  She apparently met this guy several years ago on a site online and they had been very casual friends.  Somehow,  she let this casual friendship turn into something that consumed her life for about 5 weeks.  During this 5 week period she basically disappeared emotionally from her life and was wrapped up in this mystery man from Louisiana!!  I mean she was so wrapped up that she let everything else in life slip by the wayside..... school.... friends..... family..... responsiblilty.... and everything else that makes up our lives!!  I personally had a bad feeling about this guy and kept pointing out the obvious to her, but no, she knew what she was doing.  She told me she was a pro at online dating!!   Just wait until you read her story this week!!

Now, as I clearly pointed out yesterday I think online dating is STUPID and possibly dangerous!!  A number of years ago I had an older gentleman that saw my pic on Singlesnet and he started emailing me and catching me on Chat.  He told me he was in the MOVIE business and told all these great stories about all the big name hollywood actors and actresses we all  have heard of and seen in the movies. My naive ass just thought it was so cool that he knew all these people and I guess I believed everything he told me! This went on for a couple of years!!  I became so comfortable in my friendship with this man that we actually swapped cell phone numbers and we would talk on the phone about once a week!!  One evening  he happened to call as I was arriving home late at night.  I didn't realize I was going to be so late, so there was no exterior lights on and it had rained so much I was ankle deep in water!!  I finally felt my way to the front door with my key in hand and discovered it was unlocked.  Now, I knew I had not left my door unlocked, but my thoughts were on all my dogs that I knew desperately needed to go out to potty.  I flip the porch light on and let the dogs out when I realize the screen has been ripped out of the front window and the window is partially open.  I tell my friend in Hollywood that I will have to call him back in a bit because it appears my house has been broken into.  Instead of calling 911 I grab my pistol and start going through the dark house.  My bedroom light was on as was my bathroom light.  My jewelry cabinet drawers and doors were open, my nightstand drawers were gone through,  but nothing seemed to be missing!!  Well, the "friend" in Hollywood keeps calling and telling me I need to call 911 and will not leave me alone until I do so.  He instructs me to call 911 and then call him back and stay on the line until the Deputy arrives. 

To make a long story short.... the Deputy shows up and you can tell right off the bat that he's pissed over coming down my long and bumpy driveway and then having to walk in ankle deep water to get to my front porch.  He wants to know what is missing and I tell him nothing that I can tell so far.  I show him the ripped out screen and think that he's going to want to check for fingerprints or something.  He just simply looks at me and asks if I take any type of medication......  Well, I'm wondering if he thinks I'm crazy or if he thinks they were looking for drugs in my house!!!  I go into the big spill about my back surgery and tell him the medications I take.  He tells me that it was probably someone who knows I take medication and that's what they were looking for!!  I'm thinking what a great help this idiot has been!   As he is walking back to his car he stops and shines a flashlight on a big flower pot by my gate.  He actually asks me what I'm growing in the pot.  I told him I was hoping it was Marigolds coming back from last year.  He looks at me and asks "Are  you sure it's not weed?" First of all, I don't look like a person who smokes weed....  and if I did  what kind of an idiot would I be to have called the law to my house if I was growing weed right by the gate leading to my front door???  That idiot actually reached down and broke a piece off and sniffed it!!  It's running through my mind that I should just shoot him because he's an idiot and can't possibly be an asset as a law enforcement officer!!!  He just sniffed and said "well, maybe it is flowers, but it looks a lot like weed"!  At this point I'm pretty pissy and I tell him if I was the kind of person that would grow weed I sure as hell wouldn't grow it where anyone could see it!!!

Okay, so I call my friend back in "HOLLYWOOD" and he tells me he has kept something from me.... he claims he is really with the CIA and the Hollywood thing is a cover!!! lol  He assures me he will have special agents driving by my home for the next month or so to make sure I am okay!!

The next day I change my phone number and blocked that weirdo from my facebook and everything else!!  Oh, and I went and bought a good supply of ammo for my pistol!!  A girl just can't be too careful!!  I can honestly say I have not talked to one man from a dating site since!!
