You haven't told us about Art, what kind of work does he do that are you investing in? is he cute?

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/18/2011:  11:02:27

He's the secret man in my life. If I told you about him, it would no longer be a secret.

If you have a secret man in your life, then no more moaning the "I aint got no man" blues

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/19/2011:  06:17:44

Okay. Instead I'll hint about the wonders of Mr. Art Work, a struggling artist who is misunderstood by the fickle art critics in the world....

dat - Posted - 01/19/2011:  07:32:29

from what I hear Art Work can get to cost people a lot of money, maby you should stay away from him

1four5 - Posted - 01/19/2011:  07:51:25

Especially if he is looking for someone to pose for a nudie

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/19/2011:  07:59:53

Geez, I just can't win, can I?

I suppose you'd also recommend a lot of cats to go along with my crazy spinster image?

and maby a dog or two

How about joining a band and having a whole bunch of stud groupies?

the Amazing Niffer and her Bee Bopping Banjo, I can see it in lights now

Hey! Check out my new glasses!

The better to see the cute guys in the front row with...

Cute Guy is probably in the other half of the picture, she just folded it back so we couldn't see him with her

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/20/2011:  05:49:52

---

Yeah, 'cause I spend a lot of time hanging out with guys in the bathroom...

dat - Posted - 01/20/2011:  06:45:42

sometimes the bathroom is a good place to hang out

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/20/2011:  08:04:14

---

Well, except for the cats, I usually hang out alone in the bathroom.

1four5 - Posted - 01/20/2011:  08:08:58

Why do cats like following people into the bathroom... and then they gotta shed hair on your wet ankles

dat - Posted - 01/20/2011:  08:17:51

---

I think cats look for wet ankles just to get their loose hair off, they really don't care about them being anybody's ankles in particular, they're looking out for themselves

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/20/2011:  08:44:20

---

Maybe you need to shave your legs so there's less for the cat hair to cling to.

dat - Posted - 01/20/2011:  10:01:19

I have a feeling if I shaved my legs my bride would think I went crazy

1four5 - Posted - 01/20/2011:  10:29:34

I don't have to shave my legs for that

You have no sense of adventure.

dat - Posted - 01/20/2011:  12:55:25

I like adventure, I don't think I'ld like the feeling of them though, I believe just wearing my britches would feel funny with shaved leggs

1four5 - Posted - 01/20/2011:  16:00:00

I couldn't get past the itching of it all growing back

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/21/2011:  05:39:10

I hate the sensation of leg hair getting pulled out by my socks. I'd much rather shave.

dat - Posted - 01/21/2011:  07:32:55

maby you should try regular wool socks instead of steel wool socks

1four5 - Posted - 01/21/2011:  08:06:56

Just wear them little booty socks

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/21/2011:  09:38:19

I usually wear men's socks.

1four5 - Posted - 01/21/2011:  10:01:31

what about briefs?

dat - Posted - 01/21/2011:  10:10:01

ok, so who is the man whos socks you put on?
or is it whom, I can't ever remember

Mr. Quimby - Posted - 01/21/2011:  10:33:26

---

I tried wearing boxers back when I was in college and that was kind of the "in" thing for teenage kids to do, but I have a true pear shaped figure and boxers aren't made for that kind of waist/hip ratio.

If I'm going to wear briefs, I might as well stick with the granny panties....

Honestly if there's something involving clothing coming off I don't think you need to worry about grammar rules anymore.

I bet you still have an old boyfriends large football jersy too?

I've never acquired clothes from any guy I've ever dated.

Well, no, I did date a guy right after college who gave me a silk blouse for Christmas.

But I've never acquired clothing from a guy by rummaging through his closet or whatever.

dat - Posted - 01/21/2011:  12:56:22

or just picked up the closest thing to put on in the morning

You could buy some guy clothes at Goodwill

I find the clearance rack at Target to be a good source.

I'm at my weekend job right now. We have a pretty well to do clientele here. This is the sort of people I deal with (and also a great example of how not to teach your child to be fiscally responsible):

Girl come in to buy some oil to oil her new bridle. While she's here she also gets some brushes because they're pink. She's talking with her friends.

Girl 1: You should have seen me and Zoe at the mall. I was just buying everything I saw that was pink.

Girl 2: Geez, you don't need to get everything you see.

Girl 1: Well, yeah. I mean that's why my parents gave me a credit card. So I could buy what I want. I can spend $2000 a month, not including gas and food....



That sort of thing makes me sick.

I agree Dean, I don't get that much retirement after 30 years of service. That's why I retired from EMS one day and
went to work at a urgent care the next day.

It's why I play in two bands. Not a lot of money in it, but makes ends meet and we sure have fun!

So my battery crapped out this morning. Thank goodness for DP. He came out, removed the old one, drove me up to Pep Boys for a new one, brought me back, and put it in.

My day is mostly shot at this point but I know that I'll be able to get to work tomorrow on time. Which is good.

This cold weather is tough on batteries, glad to hear you got it going again.
