Introducing . . . my mommy!

[iampunha]

Um, yeah. Her first post, ironically, is in a thread I started:) Abortion: not a debate here (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=36210&pagenumber=2), which of course is in GD now:D

She's a Libra, with brown hair and blue eyes (I think), and she enjoys our cabin in the mountains, books, all things Harry Potter, and annoying the life out of her four living kids, husband and three dogs.

Her turn ons are . . . well, ask her;). Her turnoffs are smoking, anything scented, death, broccoli, and things that go "SSSSSSUCK". Or not. I've never quite been able to tell with her . . .

Her SN is phantomdiver, which I guess I could have told you before she registered, as she has that SN nearly everywhere (so you of the motley fool . . . this is your woman).

I don't think we agree on everything, which should make for some interesting discussions . . . hehehe.

[KimKatt]

Hi Mom.

[Jester]

<shifty eyes> Hey, does this mean we can't swear and stuff, and have to wipe our feet off and stuff?

[Gozu Tashoya]

Man, let me say that if either of my parents came on the SDMB that I'd have a mod delete all my posts ASAP....

Hi phantomdiver, I have a few Harry Potter questions that I'll be asking sooner or later....

[Dinsdale]

Photos, we want photos!
Thanks mom, for iamp (even if it was damned selfish of you.)

[Edwardina]

Greetings, Iampunmom.

[purrplebear]

Hi, Mom! Nice to meet you again. So, does this mean I can't flirt with your son anymore? ;)



<of course, he only has eyes for my daughter now!> :p


*Sniff*

[Tymp]

(so you of the motley fool . . . this is your woman).
Aha!!

Glad to have you as a Dope junkie, phantomdiver.

[Ellen Cherry]

Hi mom! We like your boy!

[Zakalwe]

Whew! Considering some of the interaction I've seen between you and the ladies, you and your mom must have one great relationship!

Welcome phantomdiver!

grem

P.S. iampunmom, I love it!

[DarkHeart]

Hello and welcome phantomdiver.

[Sea Sloth]

Yay! It's a family affair! Not G rated of course...

Welcome to the party, mom...

[GolfWidow]

Ssshhhh
...<standing up straight, wiping grin off my face>...

Hello Mrs. Iampunha (can't bring myself to call Mom's by their first names, or in this case, SN)

(Mom's always make me feel like I'm guilty of something)

[FreakFreely]

Hoo boy phantom! do I ever have some stories to tell you!

Welcome!

[Talkinsquirrel]

You are one brave man iampunha. VERY VERY brave.

[iampunha]

Youch. I didn't get this many people saying hi to me when I joined. So how is it that my mother's made 2 stinking posts and she's already more popular than I am? ;(

As she seems to be away (probably on metro home), I'll answer for her:

Talkinsquirrel, yes I am brave. I'm sincerely hoping she doesn't find some key threads. REALLY sincerely hoping that. But I could always give her another acct and make her a troll and somehow . . . ;) But I'm not evil like that yet.

Freak: you say ANYTHING about the jello shots and I'll tell my mom you stuff your bra.

GolfWidow, what's the deal with the grin? BTW call her phantomdiver, or PD, or SWIBBOTS, or really whatever she wants to be called. I don't think mrs iampunha works, as I'm not MARRIED TO HER, fer krice-sake!

Black12: I don't know about you, but I . . . crap, I just lost that joke in the sun.

grem: I don't flirt with her, dude. "P.S. iampunmom, I love it!" Maybe I'll persuade her to change her SN to punha's mom or such.

Ellen: Why did it take my mommy showing up for you to confess your undying devotion to me? huh?;)

Tymp, you know TMF? You know my mom from there? This is scawy!

purplebear: You can flirt with me, silly! Although your daughter might object;) Besides, my mother rarely (never) uses my AIM acct . . .

Edwardina: good SN suggestion, but I like "punha's mom" better. Of course, she's more than a mother, she's . . . super ultra mega mom deluxe 2001!

Dinsdale: photos of my mom are up to her to give out. Of course, there is this one of us together . . . but I don't think that'd be in the spirit of the SDMB.

KKBattousai: Yeah. IKWYM. I SO know what you mean. I'm hoping and praying she doesn't dig up threads . . . hehehe. As far as HP goes, I'm probably goin to know more about it than she does, though my 12-YO brother is pretty good as well.

Jester: you can swear as much as you used to. But she will not like "jesus H Christ!" or such. As for wiping feet . . . hell, I never do!

Maybe I should start a thread and OFFICIALLY introduce myself . . . again?

[Gunslinger]

Hi!




I greet everybody, 'cause it's a quick way to pad the post count.

I KNOW you're not married to her. Sheesh! We're not in the backwoods of Kentucky here. But Mother Punha just didn't sound quite right.

Okay, welcome phantomdiver!

I know . . . but mrs iampunha makes her out to be just that; my wife? I ain't got one. And if I did I feel FAIRLY certain it would not be her!

How about Punha's mom? Or phantomdiver . . . I'll ask her.

[Ellen Cherry]

Hey! Watch it, Golfie. Some of us are in the backwoods of Kentucky. ;)

Punha-Baby-- I've always been devoted to you. You just forgot. :D

[struuter]

Well, it you've GOTTA rename her, how about iampunma? Bad, I know. Apologies extended PD. Please accept.

Nice to have you aboard. Your son is....uh...well...um...a very nice boy. *ahem*

A really nice boy, actually. And a great date.

[Jester]

I can't say "Jesus H. Christ?" Awwwwwww...crap. I could've sworn that that was starting to catch on. I felt it. Oh well, long as I still get "Hot damn!" "Booyah," and "all shades of freaky!" Then I'm happy.

[magdalene]

Hi phantomdiver!

iampunha - you are a brave man. I hope you continue to be yourself and don't self-edit for yo' momma's sake. And that she doesn't self-edit for yours.

[iampunha]

She won't restrain herself, I hope. And I certainly don't plan to restrain myself (as shown by my most recent few posts in GD . . . Glory were they long!) anymore than I used to.

In short, if she's got a problem, she can continue to have a problem:)

But I ain't never been totally myself on this board. or much of any place.

Jester: just be glad my sisters didn't join. They get antsy at the word crap, but they have no problem with the word freak. But say whatever you want. She's allowed to be offended, you're allowed to say what you want, within reason.

Ellen: Oh, sure, you say that when my MOM's here! But when she leaves . . . you know you'll go back to thinking I'm just a little baby . . .

struuter: don't worry about it. Hell, my mom knows I'm not 2 anymore:) (and no, mama, I do not mean tuna half!)! When did we date? Ahem. Can I have pics?
btw, i am not a boy;) It comes with aging.

How long before the thread about Eve dies? Please, NOBODY resurrect it! *hopeless, pathetic look of despair*

Patrick, you nitwit, I'm a Taurus. You're a Libra. Look it up.

I don't plan on being here very often, so I doubt there will be many interesting discussions between the two of us. Not that the Straight Dope isn't wonderful and all that. It is. I just have other things to do -- unlike my beloved son. ;-)

[Anniz]

Hi Mom!

You have a great son.:)

[Strainger]

Patrick, you nitwit...
I like her already. Too bad she won't be spending more time here.

[Whammo]

"Patrick, you nitwit"

we'll just forget about the fact that many of us were gainfully employed full time before SDMB....now look at some of us......

Iampunha's mom, it's nice to meet you..I'm sure you'll get sucked in, er, um, I mean I'm sure you'll have a great time

Gosh, if mine did, I'd have to do something drastic, too. However, fortunately my dad is dead and my mother is terrifically anti-computer as far as having anything to do with one in her house goes. They are too expensive. Two-week trips to the Near East are not. Hey, everybody's got their own values.

I have an online photo somewhere, but I can't find it. Patrick? Do you know where it is? You can have the file if you wanna put it on your site.

I know it was selfish. Sometimes one is selfish. And I really needed some selfish gratification before Patrick came along. My life has been way better since I got pregnant with him. -- And the other three following you, Patrick, so don't get a swelled head. ;-)

Anybody wanna give me a clue on how I could do that? iampunha says I can't. I doubt this.

"P.S. iampunmom, I love it!" Maybe I'll persuade her to change her SN to punha's mom or such.

I'm actually not quite sure where that picture is these days.

Jester: you can swear as much as you used to. But she will not like "jesus H Christ!" or such.
True. But I won't necessarily go ballistic about it, either. Otherwise I couldn't function in our world and welcome to it, as it were.

As for wiping feet . . . hell, I never do!
True again. And that explains a lot.

I would love to hear this story. I've seen part of it in iampunha's sig. Care to tell me the rest? :-)

In this world, Elwood, you must be oh, so smart or oh, so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.

Since when can I stop anybody from saying anything? And don't tell me you're going to behave because a mom is here. Purplebear is a mom, and it doesn't seem to give anybody pause. Or paws, in her case.

Okay, I've had it. I am not posting to every well-wisher on this board, though I do appreciate every welcome wish. Thanks, guys! Long may you post!

[MysterEcks]

Hmm...I've seen posters bring their kids into the SDMB, but this is the first I know of that one's brought a parent.

Nice ta meetcha, phantomdiver.

PD said: "I just have other things to do -- unlike my beloved son. ;-)"

Things, people, household appliances, the apple tree outside, Timmy's bicycle . . . :GDRLH:

Purplebear has lovely paws. I've seen them:)

PD: "Hmm...I've seen posters bring their kids into the SDMB, but this is the first I know of that one's brought a parent."

Do I get one of David B.'s free toasters?

PD: "I have an online photo somewhere, but I can't find it. Patrick? Do you know where it is? You can have the file if you wanna put it on your site."

I can think of any number of pictures I could scan in. Or I could take a digital pic of you. But there's one pic I will NOT scan.;)

PD: "My life has been way better since I got pregnant with him. -- And the other three following you, Patrick, so don't get a swelled head. ;-)"

One can never have too much of a good thing. If only the next three had been good things . . .

PD: "Thanks! I like him too, most of the time! ;-) He will tell you quickly (if he hasn't already) that he is a man, and he will deepen his voice when he says it. But you know how it is -- he's my boy forever, as I am my mother's girl."

::Manly cough, manly burp and manly scratch of groin:: What was that?

PD: "And as for the guilt -- have you called to your mother lately? (ROFL!)

I called mine a few hours ago.

PD: "He is. Cute, too. And smart. Anybody wanna date him? I want grandchildren at some point. Why do you think I had kids? ;-)"

Sigh. Mama, this is not a dating service. I say this from experience.

PD: "Originally posted by my darling baby boy, iampunha (mwa ha ha ha ha)"

You watch your mouth!

PD: "Cuz I am cuter than you are. Nyah nyah."

Which is, of course, why you are on everyone's laminated list. I should remember that ITF.

PD: "Anybody wanna give me a clue on how I could do that? iampunha says I can't. I doubt this."

I figure if I say that enough maybe it'll magically come true. But seriously . . . most of it's pretty tame. The rest is really nunya;)

PD: "Hey, my bottom isn't that big. And it's 1956, not 2001."

But the 1956 version is so . . . old, and yucky, and falling apart, and it needs a new coat of paint and a good oiling. And I didn't mean to say anything about your bottom, SWIBBOTS:)

PD: "I'm actually not quite sure where that picture is these days."

So long as it's not on the scanner or in the wrong hands . . . :breathes sigh of relief:

PD: "Why does post count matter? Do you get SD gold stars for lots of posts or something?"

No, we here at the SDMB are beyond little stars, unlike you children at TMF. It's just that, in general, having lots of posts is an indication that A. you have way too much free time, B. you've got lots to say, C. you've not yet been banned, or D. you've been here for a while. regarding my 1500+ posts in less than three months . . . no comment:)

PD: "Originally posted by sweet little iampunha again"

Little? I'm bigger than you are, granny!:)

PD: "Bonus points: Except for the comment in carets, what book does that quote come from?"

My dear, decrepit old mother is, of course, assuming that any of us cares . . . ;)

PD: "A really nice boy, actually. And a great date."

And you know this how? Mama, in the 2+ months I've been on the SDMB, I've discovered two things: don't post threads with only smilies to ChiefScott, and don't go looking for a date on the SDMB.

PD: "I would love to hear this story. I've seen part of it in iampunha's sig. Care to tell me the rest? :-)"

She would, but she's terribly shy. TERRIBLY shy. And has kids.

PD said: "No, he's not coming on the board. He doesn't do this kind of stuff. Mostly."

And if he does . . . AND IF HE DOES . . . hehehe. He don't know nothing 'bout it, 'ceptin' he don't trust Cecil. SO I probably don't want to subject him to this.

Well, this has been one long-assed post. Pity I could access the SDMB but not freaking YAHOO to do my FOOTBALL DRAFT! ARGH!

A thousand welcomes, Phantom! Your posts have had me rolling off the chair laughing. You might be imapunha's mom but it's quite obvious you're very much your own person. Besides, Phantom is much easier to type (not to mention classier) than something like urpunhasmom.

So..since the issue of pics was raised, please keep in mind that any "naked on the bearskin rug" shots of Patrick as a drooling infant would be gleefully welcomed. Or heck, a contemporary shot would be okay, too.

Raising kids isn't a task for the weak, so if you need to drop The Big One, we'll understand.

We don't have a bearskin rug. We have Xmas shots from long ago. Maybe I'll scan some one weekend when I've nothing better to do.

I may not jump on anybody else, but I'm jumping on you, Paddy -- please don't call anybody female and human a bitch in my presence. Or outside my presence, if I hear about it. I thought I raised you better than that.

But then I have a slight migraine, for which I've taken some aspirin/caffeine pills, so I'm a little jumpy just now. Meaning that's where I got the energy to type so much, not that you should call women bitches and hos (hoes?) and such.

I can think of any number of pictures I could scan in. Or I could take a digital pic of you. But there's one pic I will NOT scan.;)
Guys, it's a goodie, though it doesn't look like iampunha now -- it's your basic bearskin rug picture, with a bit of me in the altogether thrown in, because we're in the tub -- but I'm not going to release it for general consumption. That would be too mean. But artistically, I think it's a very nice shot, though the bathtub grouting is pretty gross. If I were to publish that shot, I'd probably airbrush the grouting. ;-) (How do you do real smilies? Is there a smiley code? There must be.)

He hasn't released a current head shot? Well, that's up to him.

And I'm not going to dig up the "bearskin" shot. That would be too embarrassing to him. Not to me, though a good bare part of me shows, too. I think age and motherhood have erased a lot of my so-called natural modesty, or prudery, or whatever. But Patrick still has his, and he may keep it as long as he sees fit.

Raising kids isn't a task for the weak, so if you need to drop The Big One, we'll understand.
Which Big One? Sounds like poop. Or Fat Boy. Or something.

What do you expect? He doesn't have a gf, AFAIK. And he's straight and 18, so he wants one -- who doesn't, in that position, as it were? (Patrick, if that embarrasses you, I'm sorry, but it's just obvious stuff. Would have been true of me at that age and position, too.)

BTW, I think I posted once as iampunha by accident, guys. He had the home 'puter set to his login and I didn't unset it. Sorry about the confusion.

Thanks fer the chivalry there. I probably would've appreciated it quite a bit more if I were actually a woman... or human, for that matter...

Yeah, and the fact that Anniz started that when I was on vacation leads me to believe she didn't want me to win. That's like someone running for president and not being able to participate in the debates.

White stiletto heels? I wasn't wearing anything of the sort, though I welcome such from you, if you like it:)

Mama, the only one of those you know for sure is that I'm 18, and even then, counting time spent in utero, I'm over 19. As for you wanting a girlfriend, you were engaged to Daddy at my age or no? The idea of you wanting a girlfriend . . . um . . . no comment;)

As for the nude shot of us in the tub, it flatters me a lot more than you. Plus I'm VERY young in it, and as such am cute. You, on the other hand, are a mother.

I think position may be meant to mean single and male...pedant!

No. What I am saying is that I wasn't the one wearing heels, though perhaps you were. Right now you don't want to see my feet. Not attractive.

Hmm . . . why shadowed, so nobody can see us? Why not just find a nice, soundproof room with a good lock?

Oh, please, you are straight and you don't have a girlfriend, unless you have picked one up while I wasn't looking in the last week or so. And even then, I bet she'd be a cyber-gf.

Besides, no, I didn't even meet your daddy until I was just over 19. I'm not really sure when we became engaged, but it was about a year later.

Yeah, you look a lot cuter than I do in the shot -- you can hardly see me. Anyway, I was 26 at the time, and what you can see looked better then than it does now -- though your wonderful daddy would say otherwise.

Anyway, yeah, I was naked, and so were you, but all you can see of me is a profile. You're fully frontal.

-- Guys, it's a picture of me bathing Paddy when he was about six months old, okay? Either my husband or I used to get in the tub with our kids at that age and hold them very, very carefully. It was easier and cheaper than using a baby bathtub. Probably still is, unless they've improved such tubs an awful lot since 1989, when I last bathed a baby of that age. Anyway, it's a very sweet picture, and it's really Everybaby, not Patrick in particular.

Y'know, you COULD call me Patrick. You don't call me iampunha on the phone, after all:)

So can Paddy, if he chooses. He took more Latin than I did.

I still get confused about "data," though. In American English, it takes a singular verb; if you use a plural verb, you sound weird or British, which may actually be the same thing. <ducking and remembering that most of my ancestry is Brit> So if people pester me on it, I get all pedantic and say that it is really Latin and in Latin, as in Greek, a neuter plural noun always takes a singular verb. That always works -- people get so awed and confused that they back down. The beauty of it is that it's true. I just love it when all those thousands of dollars my parents paid for my high-falutin' college eddication comes in handy in the workplace!

With Cecilia up in my bedroom.
I get up to wash my face.

School. Duh.

Fierra, mainly the reason I don't like that you're in the UK is because firstly I didn't knwo how old you are. [rant]I am sick of meeting cool, interesting, and otherwise worthwhile people who live way the hell and gone away from the US. At one point in early June I had actually met some cool people. Three were married, one engaged. I found this to be just a bit too much. One of them went to my damn school! So when I say "why the hell do you have to live in the UK?" it's not b/c I have anything against the UK but b/c I am tired of meeting people I know i'll never see in person.

BTW, Spider, how old are your daughters?

Fierra, he's just stupid, not narrow. Actually he's a lot wider than he used to be -- when he was a baby.

I think he explained himself quite well, and I hope that does it for you. Who wouldn't want F2F friends? Although this year Patrick does live on a coed hall, which is a nice change from last year. -- I know, mothers aren't supposed to like coed dorms. Well, I lived in coed dorms from 1974 to 1977, and then I lived in a coed group house for my senior year (until 1978), and I know perfectly well that sex is much more likely to occur between those who don't live in the same dorm. You see somebody with morning hair and teeth, you aren't as likely to see that person as sexy and desirable. Of course, some of you guys with raging hormones may see any female between 14 and 40 as sexy and desirable, but surveys say (Family Fraud imitation) that intradorm sex doesn't happen as often as interdorm sex. -- And that's saying a lot. You try having sex with somebody who is located in another dorm. It's quite a stretch. -- But seriously, folks . . .

The smoking I don't believe. He knows better than that. Asthma runs in the family, and his grandfather died earlier than he really should have, partly because he smoked for years and years and years.

Swearing, yeah. I've heard him. I'd like him to make an effort to tone it down, but I can think of worse things for him to do, and he doesn't do them, so that's okay. And I really don't mind scatalogical swearing much. It's sacrilegious swearing that really bugs me. That he doesn't do, except under very extreme circumstances.

PD - I taught for two years, but while I was training I did some in school stints & one was at a coed boarding school (single sex sleeping dorms/houses)...
so one night, while the outside was being repainted & had scaffolding up, the house mistress heard a bnoise and checked to see if it might be burglars or someone ill. The second time she checked, she realised there were four feet in one of the beds! The lad had climbed up the scaffolding, over the roof & in through the skylight. They suspended him (but not her...double standards!), but I think he should have had a medal for effort & ingenuity!

BTW, I know at least three asthmatics who are heavy smokers despite knowing how bad it is for them particularly.

Yeah, I do, too. The ones I know started because of peer pressure and then got hooked.

My husband and I have made a great effort to show our kids that starting to smoke is just plain stupid these days, and we've done that since they were babies. We fight the peer pressure thing.

They might start smoking, but I really doubt they will.

I e-mailed you and got the second message returned. I think your account was too full or something.

Hi to your mommy. :)

[Mr Bear]

First let me say welcome to the boards. I'm Mr Bear aka purplebear's other half (sometimes better most of the time not)
I did read here where you said that you wanted grandchildren, but I think you should know that the object of your son's eye is my 15 year old[i/]daughter. He may be in need of a little motherly advise. He can flirt with my wife all he wants, I'm secure enough to handle that, but when it comes to my darling little girl.........enough said I think.:D

Hi, Mr Bear!

Seems to me he was just being flirty on the boards. But if you have an issue with what he's done, you should probably take it up with him.

Yes, I want grandchildren, but I can wait. And I certainly don't want any from people who haven't finished high school! Patrick knows that. We've discussed this stuff.

No ISSUE here yet (just my left of center humor). As people get to know me, they understand that if I have an ISSUE with them it will be quite clear to them. Actually I'm glade that he and my daughter are friends, from everthing PurpleBear has told me about him you should be very proud of him. Hope this clears the air a little.

Okay! I'm cool. Actually, I was cool before, but thanks for the air conditioning!

Mr. Bear, allow me to assure you of two things: 1. there are guys younger than me flirting with her. 2. I do not have to time, nor do I have the desire to get caught, necessary to go down to TX and see either your wife or your daughter. 'Sides, I have 0 courage with anything female and remotely near my age. Just ask my mom.

This is one reason knowing someone and their parents can often be interesting. Already lost one friend that way. Have 0 desire to lose more.

I give in - what's the deal with cinnamon oil? I only found out what 151 was from that sluggy comic site...

Why, hello there Mrs. Phantom diver, what a lovely dress you have on! And those pearls are simply divine!!

by the way, especially in light of the nakey tub shot talk, I believe this quote was waaay out of line for a mommy:

Actually he's a lot wider than he used to be -- when he was a baby.

finally, was that quote from Cuckoo's nest?

yours,
