Maybe Rod’s rod only likes rods. Did you ever think about that Betty?
______________________________________________________
After my sad encounter with Rod, I went over to Lucy’s house…
…mostly because she’s easy and I was frustrated.
…because if anyone knows how to have a happy encounter with a rod, it’s Lucy!
…because I was feeling unattractive and needed to compare myself to someone who looks like Madonna’s plastic surgery “after” photos.
…because I never see Lucy and Rod in the same place at the same time. And I was beginning to get suspicious…

“I’ve done everything I can. Maybe you can think of something!…
…especially something that’s not inept and stupid. Cos man, have I tried everything that’s stupid and inept. Some of those things I even tried twice!”
…I ask because you get guys even though you look like a factory defective Barbie doll on clearance sale. So you must be doing something right!”
Yellow socks? That’s a daring fashion statement.
Jan can run but 18 plus years of reality is coming for him.
Not sure if it ever really was a thing, but weren’t there there stories about men sharing sympathy pregnancy symptoms?
I can see someone being empathetic, but it seemed to me more guys finding an excuse to eat as much as they wanted. “No, honey, it’s sympathetic hunger pangs!! I’d love to eat that broccoli, but I just can’t!”
I had wavy hair. Not tight curls, but the wave that was fairly commonly obtained with product. I wasn’t committed to it, but it went away when my daughter was gestating. I haven’t had single curl in my hair 5 decades later.
Fashionable or no, I hear having long hair with young kids is basically inviting them to grab and yank.
