...lovely wife opened the shower and looked like that, I would have lost my clothes in a heartbeat and expended the contents of the Prell tube disappearing into the lather...

but seriously, even in the early 70's things were so different...

Oh, and my wife's a member of DU so she sees what I post (and doesn't get offended). As I've said before (and on multiple locations), "guys like tits". It's nice out and she's just talking about putting on short-shorts and a tanktop to go work in the garden. I'll be logging off soon.

I connected with one of my earliest girlfriends on facebook some time ago. She finally decided "Fuck it - I'm a lesbian". She's happy now for the first time ever AND she became a successful professional clown. Great lady. Dicks? meh.

My wife knows your username. I promised not to reveal hers, but I'm sure it will become obvious at some point. She's been lurking for a while (not really checking up on me but just out of curiosity) and finally became a member. When she admitted it, I pegged her after looking at two of my posts with replies. Long-term relationships are the best, no question about it.

(For the record, conditioner is better for the dual bath thing than shampoo. Just sayin')

how fun is that. i love it. now i am going to keep my eye out. but you know.... i can never tell if a man is wearing a toupe. just never pay attention to stuff like that. so doubt if i will be able to pegged it. but then, probably after i post this, i will forget to remember to pay attention, lol

ah, the fuzzy of getting old.

or just not caring.

my hubby likes bath oil and beads. i bought him a basket of them two christmas in a row. they have manly or less womanly ones.

I didn't really take this as being sexist. Just sort of lame.


I mean, it could very well have been a wife saying that to her husband.


Personally, I think the lameness factor really starts when he gets all excited over her hair even though they're presumably on the verge of being thrown into the poorhouse.

I was having a really really bad and terrible year and not paying attention to much.

Although I did recover enough to pay attention to the gas shortage a year or two later.

Which was strange, really. Big shortage up here in Mass. I moved to TN with hubby and kids and there was virtually no shortage down there.

From her fan site bio:

TV COMMERCIALS: Prell, Canada Dry, Life Stride Shoes, Duncan Hines, Polaroid, Wink, TWA, Gold Medal Flour, Crisco, Body Builder, Whirlpool, Peaches 'n Cream.

I hope some of the others had a little more merit and a litle less froth.
