Sexy Men

I adore men.  I love them to pieces.  I would love to have one of my very own.  I like men with a head full of hair, I love bald men, I love young (well, over 21 lets be legal here), older men, hairy chests.  I love men.

I think the sexiest things a man can wear are:

white t-shirt (all t-shirts are ok, but white is the best)
faded blue jeans (no rips or tears)
jeans that fit  -- (not too tight, I know your a man you don't have to show it.)
barefoot, or those old canvas converse type sneakers, or even those boots that are something between a biker and a cowboy boot.

Now if you have been all dressed up sexy would be:

suit jacket open
white shirt half way unbuttoned and untucked
tie untied still around neck
barefoot

I am telling you this to get to this:

Yesterday I saw a show on TLC called "Faking It".  They were taking this tall, skinny, nerdish man and trying to turn him into a Chipendale dancer inside a months time.  Ladies you know that those Chipendale's are hot guys, however, if I were to watch a man strut across the stage I would prefer to see them wearing more that a g-string and a smile.  It does nothing for me.  Sorry.  I prefer my men with a little more on.  And for you men out there that is a good thing.  Cause face it, most of you don't quite look like Chipendale's. 

 

 

 

Personalized graphics

I keep getting questions about the "tags" that I use with my name on them such as the one above.  No, I don't make them.  Wish I could.  I belong to some MSN groups that make them -- for free even!

I am forever telling people just to go to MSN and look for a group.  Now I realise it isn't quite that simple, so here are the step by step instructions to get you to the listing of groups that make some of the "siggys" I use.

go to msn.com
look to the far left column in blue
scroll down to where is says people
click on groups
 this will send you to another screen
click on browse groups
  this will send you to another screen
click on computers and internet
  this will send you to another screen
click on user groups  
  lastly this will send you to another screen that lists msn groups in this category
now look for groups that make sigs, siggys, tags and such.

Simple, right?  LOL

 

John I am so sorry that you gave up.  I should have done the following but my brain wasn't working when I didn this entry.  Here is a link to THE page that shows a list of groups.  And hopefully this link (and I re-worked the one above a tad) will open a new window without you having to go back and forth.

July 4th is a comin'

I want to make sure everyone has some type of red/white/blue graphic for next Sunday which is July 4th.  As far as I know these are copyright free, some I snagged and some I bought.  Please take 1 or 2 or whatever and use it July 4th.

And for those of you in the UK I haven't forgotten you.  I know it is not a special day for you but I found a snag you may want.  I will start with that one first.

It is funny.....until you get old

Yesterday my Aunt E's toliet overflowed.  Not funny.  The telephone conversation between she and my mom, funny.  But not to my mom at the time.

Aunt E:  my toliet is overflowing

Mom:  what you want me to do?

Aunt E:  there is water all over the place

Mom:  have checked to see if the water is still running?

Aunt E:  huh?

Mom:  take the top off the tank and she if it is full of water yet.

Aunt E:  yeah, it's full of water

Mom:  have you tried the plunger yet?

Aunt E:  the plunger?

Mom:  yeah, the plunger

Aunt E:  will that do any good?

Mom:  yes, it will help the stuff to go down.

Aunt E:  ok

Mom:  did it work?

Aunt E:  what do you mean?

Mom:  was there a loud girggle and a swosh?

Aunt E:  yes

Mom:  then it worked

Aunt E:  I never knew a toliet could over flow like this.  Has yours ever overflowed?

Mom:  why yes.

Aunt E:  well you never told me!

Mom:  well I just didn't think it was news worthy enough to pick up the phone to tell you the toliet is overflowing.

Aunt E:  there is water all over the place.

Mom:  get the mop.

Aunt E:  mop?  I have this cloth......

during the conversation mom sends dad over to Aunt E's to see what is going on and if she needs help.  Dad comes home and said all there was for him to do was to get the water out of the floor.  Aunt E was using the same rag to soak up some water then ring it out in the sink, then use the same rag to do that again, and again.......

What have we learned here?  Either my Aunt E has never had an overflowed toliet in her life (which I find hard to believe), she is just out right dim, or her mind is going. 

Mom didn't think any of this was funny.  I told her to step back from it for a second and think of what was said:

I didn't know a toliet could overflow.

A plunger will help?

A mop?

And she finally agreed it was somewhat funny.  Now don't get me wrong I am not making fun of my aunt -- it is just that the whole thing was funny.  My aunt is something like 75-76 so you would think in all those years she would have learned that a toliet can overflow, a plunger just might help, and that yea, a mop will soak up water.

The sad thing is to think that as some of us age our minds don't work quite the way they used to.   And for family members of people like that if you don't find something funny in what is going on you will be depressed over things that you have no control over.  So yeah, Aunt E's stopped up toliet was funny.

The day after.

Thanks to everyone that left birthday wishes, sent emails, and e-cards.  It helped to make my big day special.

As far as birthday's go this was ok.  I tend to look at all that went right.  So this is everything that was good:

After days of gloomy weather and rain the sun was out when I walked out my front door yesterday.  Woo Hoo  It clouded up later and poured down rain, but then the rain stopped, the sun came out really bright.  It was as if God was giving me a little happy birthday wish.

I got a card in the mail from Aunt Betty.  She always sends me a card.  But this year there was some cash in there!

Mom gave me this little cat figurine that I had been wanting but was too cheap to spend $30 on.

My aunt/uncle/cousin at the coast sent me flowers.  Daisies even!  My favorite flower!  Been a long time since I recieved flowers.  Great.  Loved it.

Had breakfast at this place that is the only place in town that serves brown gravy (made from scratch even), was totally great.

Back when I bought a new fridge I sent in for a rebate.  Got the $50 check today!!! Nice little birthday present!

Aunt M called and sang happy birthday to me.  Would have been better if she could sing but it was great.

Even with a few let downs it was still a pretty good day.  The MSN groups that I am a member of had a happy birthday thread going for me.  So cool.  People that don't even know me wishing me a great day.  They know me even less than you guys so it was a surprise.

Once again to all those that sent me well wishes:

bye for now
