What would you think if..

[Jobless Oddball]

You noticed a pattern of behaviour. Your daughters boyfriend visited then they both went to meet a friend for 30 minutes then came home each time? 30 minutes isn't a long time. I know what I think. What would you think?

Think????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I would be doing a covert operation and would have followed them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This usually does the trick so you wouldn't get noticed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’d probably just ask them what they’re doing.

still hard to beat simplicity.

Come on it’s xmas I’m entitled to get off my face!

As for the ring thread, I just thought I’d see what Dogs posters thought
about something someone said to me last week, McAz has converted me
into a religious fanatic.

There is something about the cadence of this your comedy post /\ /\ that makes me feel there should be a loud BennyHill style trombone blast at the end of it!!
You're a legend, LM. Love ya!!
G/night people. x

... comedy cadence ...

Where are all the howls of "How High", after that nauseating example of arse-crawling sycophancy?

[jra]

I’d think they were away out to get some puff, but they say they are going to the shop not to a friends.

Hahaha Hi dis.

Being a parent is the hardest job in the world imo.
But if things go right (& let's face it, there's an element of luck involved here) it's the best 'investment' you will ever make.

After 18 years, they become independent, resourceful, socially aware human beings and you keep pinching yourself that you were able to create such a creature, from scratch.

Surely you don't refer to offspring as creatures.

Obviously seriously hard core crack and/or heroin addicts. Have you checked for needle marks?

Spoiler: show

I dunno. Maybe they are just socialising, like most young people do.

Context is everything.
Instead of zero-ing in on one word and lifting it out of context, look at the whole phrase instead.
"created a creature"
Both words have similar spelling, similar meaning. similar etymological origin. Harmless turn of phrase.
I think if a parent said to a child "You are a creature of habit, you like your creature comforts", the kid would smile & accept the comment in the spirit it was given.

Sorry, I still stand by what I said. Created a creature, a bit of a no no IMO. The other two references, OK.

Just give it a rest, you're just being pedantic for the heck of it. Creature is perfectly acceptable when when it's not meant to demean.

This is OK

He/she is a lovely, warm, beautiful, sweet, gorgeous...creature

This is not OK

He/she's an ugly, grotesque, weird, horrible... creature


Get it?

They might have someone tied to a bed in a nearby house and are feeding them just enough to keep them alive. Have they watched Seven lately?

There's no physical sign or emotional signs of drug taking. I think ive jumped the gun a bit put 2 and 2 together and got 5. It caused a lot of upset but I'm rectifying it. I've been reading about how gangs use people under 18 to shift drugs and I just had to ask and explain how it wrecks lives. I'm confident from more discussion that I'm wrong but needed to ask. The thing is we should all be looking out for this because it is happening.
