Deal Breaker

On a date, with a gentleman we'll call "D," the conversation turns to internet security as we're walking around downtown San Jose.

M: "Yeah, I'm terrible, I don't even have my wireless router encrypted."
D: "Oh, really? I'm actually pretty careful with my security programs. I mean, I wouldn't want to have everything just crash on me."
M: "I know what you mean. I do have a good firewall and anti-virus. Somehow I just haven't gotten around to that router."
D: "Actually, I even setup the parental controls on my computer."
M: "What?"
D: "Yeah, I set it up so that I wouldn't be tempted by anything."
M: (laughing) "Are you serious?"
D: (laughing a little hesitantly) "Sure, I mean, it just makes it easier if I don't have to worry about even being able to get into that stuff."
M: (laughing hysterically, unable to utter coherent words.)

So he didn't know that password to these parental controls that he set up? Hmmmmm...anyway, the relationship fizzled pretty quickly after that little episode.

Damn, you don't want to link to my blog? Waiving male objects too much for ya, right? Oh well, I guess that is the way the cookie crumbles.

Ummm, when exactly was this date?

I wonder if my page would be filtered???

jw) I reinstated your page---I'm not afraid of waving male objects.

trisha fintel-walde) This date was some time ago. Maybe a month ago or more, I don't know.

the other jw) I'm pretty sure your page is filtered. I think the part about piggy backs in Vegas would probably push it over the acceptable edge.
