so, i'm at work the other day, and i walk past the office of a co-worker, who greets me with, "hey, pumpkin-dip!"

being as i don't quite hear too wonderfully, i do a quick double-take. "what did you call me?"

"pumpkin-dip."

"do explain," i reply with a puzzled, questioning look.

"have you ever had pumpkin-dip? no? does it sound good? yes? well...that's you. very unique and yet, somehow, you know that you're an original that just can't be beat."

--------------------------------------------------------------

so, what's the strangest thing someone has said to you recently?

"You're *too* nice... you scare me"

I think I'd rather be called pumpkin-dip

nice is one thing i'm never accused of, haha.

but pumpkin-dip? really?

I Don't know what my reaction would be to someone calling me *pumpkin-dip*... I'm always pretty calm and laid-back... probably wouldn't be quite as casual a response as you gave your work buddy though

I'm a bit hard of hearing, so I probably would just think I didn't hear what they said correctly, LOL

Ya know something???

I don't get much of that......lol

BUT its really good seeing you on and in a post lulu,,,I've missed ya..

so to answer your post,,,I guess the one that always has been said is something like,,,,Your really smart and I have read many of your posts, you seem like a very nice man...

and I'm like well,,yes,,I am,,,lol,,,but I am also abig b-s-er
and can get down and dirty when I need ,,,,,lol

I never tell them that,,and seldom dowe really gomuch past that,,because I do THINK,,many ladies find me now boring and very NICE,,,on here,
and as they want or would like to have a bad boy,,,,I just don't fit that anymore,,,,lol

O' well,,,,I KNOW,,,,,,,BORING!!!!!!

Nothing really for me. I'm usually "too different"

I think this is so cool and sweet. I love pet names. I'm always being busted for calling people peppy overflows of verbiage and love it.

You are not going to believe this. I went to my usual supermarket. I walked the isles, and after a turn I beheld a woman in a sales outfit, making bite-sized samples. Some rye pita bread and a beige creamy miasma. She smiled at me, and said, "Sir, would you like to try our new creation?" I took a mouthful for taste. It was surprisingly good, I did not recognise the taste. "What is it?" I asked. "Pumpkin-dip", she answered.

I would have completely forgot this incident if it weren't for you post, there.

You know that isn't true, Terry! C'mon... you are one nice, smart guy... but far from being boring

-----------------

Well... nothing much for me... Strangely for my age though, I was twice called a kiddo by one of my sweetest friends on here. Peace! my friend

Recently by a dear friend and family member by marriage, who I haven't seen since I was 18. He calls me "Kid" or "Kiddo" and he's only 6 years older than I am.

I think "Pumpkin-dip" is cool and very original. Better than the guy who messaged me to complain that he preferred looking at my feet than my present profile pic. Ouch.

I would much rather be called pumpkin-dip than some of the things I've been called. Just about every one of the names I'm thinking of come from a single person. I find it insulting and embarrassing, but he's one of these guys who always has a snappy comeback - something I have never been good at.

I'm hoping someday I don't have to deal with him at all, but until then, I keep wondering how long I will hold out before nail him with a fist. I swear this guy just wants to goad me into a fight. I'm afraid what will happen if I oblige him....and it has nothing to do with what he might do to me. I've seen another man's life flash before my eyes during a fight. It was one of the most sobering experiences I have ever had.

He's also the same guy whose wife left him after only a year and a half of marriage. Apparently, he didn't pay her enough attention. He was too busy trying to be "one of the guys".

wow what a jerk..sorry you had to read that. People are A-HOLES

Yikes.... I call people "kid" or "friend" when I can't remember their names

Elderly customers really get a kick out of it though

I got a card from a guy the other day at work, it just says you're awesome...Dont ever change..

Eh, whippersnapper?

I am terrible with names..when i see people i dont remember their names...I usually say, what's up hottie...guy or girl at least i know i wont offend them...

<with a wrinkled forhead and a questioning look> I love pet names too...but?? pumpkin-dip??? I would be wondering if I resemble a pumpkin or he thinks I'm a dip . My all time favorite pet names was "sweets" .

cute

thanks, terry...i'm almost always watching, but rarely have the time to actually post.

you guys keep me busy, lol.

are you kidding me? that's absolutely awesome...
