Texting and Dating

Whenever I see a woman going back and forth on text with a guy they are getting to know...I feel some kinda way.  This is why, when talking to my Goddaughter, I'm quick to tell her to not get into the habit of having the majority of her communication with her lil guy friend via text.  

See...in my mind, you could be hugged up with some other woman and kee-keeying and shoo-shooing with me via text.  Like...there would be no way for EITHER woman to know what you're doing unless one of us started snooping on your phone.  

If I were single and dating I would NEVER let a guy think that texting was cool.  I doubt I'd ever even answer his texts.  I'd pull out some "Elder speak" and be like..."Oh...you texted me?  I'm sorry...I don't even know how to find that on my phone  I hear it when it rings only.  You know I'm old.  Just call me."

Or something like that.

Someone I know feels the exact same and stays mad about dudes and texting.  

But she still texts.

I remember being with her once and she received a text from him.  She called him and he didn't answer the phone.  He texted her back immediately saying, "Can't talk right now...what's up?"

*BLINK*

SIP:  Where they do that 'et?

See...I wouldn't have answered another nothing via text from him.  EVER.  And the next time he called, it had better end in him asking me on a date where I will make it CLEAR to not do that ish ever again.  To me...that ish was down right disrespectful.  Um...no.

HELL.NO.

Not today.

Not tomorrow.

Not next Thursday.

No.

I ain't going to lie...I am SO glad texting didn't start up until after I was married cuz goodness knows...if texting was the norm it is now...I would probably still be single.  UGH!

What's YOUR take on texting and dating while getting to know someone?  Do you do it?

Dog Attack

**NOTICE!  Turns out the neighbor who told me this early this morning had it wrong.  The kids just got home from school and told me that one of the dogs owned by the neighbor who lets her dog walk without a leash rolled up on a big dog with all that and got sasquatched.  Sheesh...he's such a little guy too.  I hope he makes it.

 

Yesterday, one of the girls was walking Jaru and a neighborhood dog rolled up on him barking like he had beef.  Jaru stopped, confused as to what was going on, and the owner of the other dog was told to keep her dog away from Jaru.

Last night, Jaru and I walked out of the house and the same dog rolled up on Jaru.  I stopped.  Jaru stopped.  (It should be noted that I was NOT in the mood.)

Me:  S...you need to have Oreo on a leash.  

S:  It's okay!  He's okay!  Come on Oreo!  Come on!

Me:  *Real skeptical*:  Aiight...

Jaru was looking at him confused because Oreo is all of 10 pounds and well...dogs just don't tend to roll up on him like that.  I took a step up and Oreo beat it.  Walking off like looking like George Jefferson.

This morning...a dog fight occurred and it was bad.

Have you ever been around a dog attack?

Have you ever been around a little dog who was vicious as hell?

Has YOUR dog ever been attacked by another dog?

Yall KNOW Oreo would have not made it had that been Jaru right?
