My rantings

I am in the Land that Time forgot....
Don't get me wrong...D-burg is inching toward thinking about advancement...but if you are in your 20s and single here you are not going to have a life here...Unless you want to spend your nights at the local Bar "Checkers" where you can shoot pool with anyone from your high school teacher to your neighbors granddad.
You might have seen K-Fed there, pre-Brittany and post, cause lets admit it...he does his wife beater proud.

Dyersburg does have a Movie Theatre, but the town is too small to DARE going it alone. Why can't it be like NYC where catching a movie alone is the norm. Here you would be cast into the pathetic pool..but you have probably already been thrown in there if you are not married by the time your 22.
I think my favorite comment is: "Anna, who are you dating?" (me): "No one" (them): " Oh don't worry..your a pretty girl...you still have time."
TIME?!!...TIME?!!....time for what? Time left before I become baron? Time left before my grey hairs overtake my brown ones? Time before I am placed in the pathetic old spinster biddy pool. Bring on the cats..oh wait ...I already have that taken care of. Give me a break.

I am going to be in 2 weddings in Oct. I do not have a problem being a bridesmaid. I love my friends and will support them...BUT, the first person who pulls me aside and says, "Just think..maybe this could be you next year" is going to get thrown in the chocolate fountain...no wait they don't deserve the fountain..they will get thrown into the ginger ale, Sprite and orange sherbet punch bowl.
While I am on this subject.....
I am also annoyed by Church "Singles Class." Especially in small hometown congregations where you find a canyon between the participants ages that you would think your at the playboy mansion sitting next to Hugh.
What makes Leadership of the church think we would want to spend your time sitting in a room feeling like your on display in a storefront window.
You look to your left and see that your sitting next to the guy who taught your 5th grade Sunday school class..who came to the hospital when you were born.....that is niiiccce! Lets get real here...when you walk into a new congregation..and are bombarded with questions...as soon as they find out you are not permanently attached to a member of the opposite sex we all get herded in like cattle...some of us are willing participants but other are prodded with the electrostick. "Let's go Bessie..put your nice shiny bell on ...its time for market" It also seems that the topic of discussion always leans toward the newest best selling christian dating book by the lasted hot author. Why can't we discuss more meatier topics like the couples classes. A poorly run singles class is like quicksand and the only way out is to get hitched, then your allowed to mingle with the rest of the population. I'm sorry, if I wanted to be thrown into a vat of random aged singles I would go hang out at Checkers.

Has no one figured out that a mixed small group can benefit everyone....think about it...

And doesn't it seem like your married friends, the ones who don't know their like ability score will decrease as soon you see the look in their eyes of them scrolling down their list of available men/women they know, always like to pull you over to the "new guy or new girl" to introduce you. Like we don't know. My closest friends know that the way to get me fired up is try and set me up.

Oy with the poodles already!!!
