I'm not really a mom. "Snackers" was a college art project. The challenge was to make something out of clay that conveyed personality. Somehow he came out with a sassy smirk that tells you he's clearly up to something, so I joked that he was my first child.

I joined CC in my 20's, when the chat room was running. I was leery about creepers and figured that a pushy guy would be less likely to bother me if he assumed I was a mom. I soon learned that just refusing to share a picture is enough to do the trick, but by then there was no going back.

I remember I had some fun with it back in the day, occasionally claiming that Snackers had hacked my account if I said something snarky or if an uptight person took issue with my comments. I remember one guy was completely thrown off, demanding to know how many children I had and insisting I control them better 😂. Those were the days....😏

Anyways.... I didn't think of the "mom" part as dishonest at the time, but in hindsight I guess maybe it was 🤔. I probably wouldn't do it over again the same way, but I don't really want to change it either. Thoughts, yall? ☕🤔
LOVED reading this!
I gotta admit I was thrown for a loop when I read something here on CC somewhere a while back where you said you have no kids :LOL: I thought :unsure: okay then, whats up with the name? but never did get around to asking :LOL::LOL:
Love it!

Lol thanks... maybe I should put something on my profile or signature line about not really being a mom, I don't want to mislead people or claim false credit. 🤔

I just spent the weekend with some friends and their 2 little ones, lovely kiddos but my goodness I am WORN OUT! It was such non-stop action and emotions and questions from morning to night..... I salute your true mom-ness, m'lady! 🏆😎👍

Oh no, lol, 🫣 why does that sound so much like a finn, the unfortunate part I mean, that he got so drunk... I quess finns were drinkers back in the days too.
No worries. He came to his own people, to put it bluntly. According to my mom he ended up in a fight with his FIL to be and he was such a great fighter that my great grandmother’s dad ruled that he had to be a true Cajun and by that admitted into the family lol.

Good thing, or else I would not have been born.😂

This is such a romantic story. Admittedly, I can't convince myself that this 'new world' isn't what Jesus was referring to when He said, "I go and prepare a place for you, that where I am, there you may be also." Especially considering also, "out of all nations and tongues, I will gather my people..." I pretty sure that the founding fathers had stories like this in mind, and the children like you (I, myself would have never been born if a man from Indiana had not served in the Vietnam conflict), that a generated from such, when they formed the foundations of the U.S. Eh, I don't know really but, I always get so sentimental in such even as the upcoming festivities surrounding Independence Day.
