Can't stop smiling
« on: June 02, 2004, 12:08:09 AM »
This is just a dumb little thing, but it gave me the giggles. Last night during league in a new house where we really don't know anyone, one of the guys on the opposing team came up to me and said ... "Please don't take offense, but you throw a darned good ball ... for a girl." He has no idea how good that made me feel. I've been working so hard on my release for the past few months, and the effort's finally starting to show. So I didn't take offense!

Anyway, just had to share. It's still making me smile today!

lol Debina, thats awesome. I was bowling with my girlfriend the other night (she bowls leagues and stuff, but never gave it a whole lot of her time) and she got her new all time high game. I was really happy for her, she was really excited lol. Oh by the way, it was a 194 game.

Funny, when I tell my gf she throws the ball pretty good for a girl she gets upset.

I remember the last time I smiled and giggled all day.

It had nothing to do with anyone saying anything to me about bowling.

SOmething about a moon roof, a beautiful blond, a new jaguar, and that I should be the happiest man in the world!

I don't know if I was, but I smiled my way right thru the biggest tournament win of my life the following weekend!

REgards,

I like the fridge story...

I have been told that I throw the ball well for a girl, as well. But once in a great while, I get told that I throw a good ball - almost like a guy. Now THAT'S a compliment!
