If he was a girl
They’d call her busty
But he was a man so was thought of as husky.
He tried all the diets of lettuce greens
Caused spaceman eyes and acne supreme
A wheelbarrow of romaine could fill his plate
And find his hairline receding, a horrible fate –
No more diets!

FFFAW – Attraction


“Girl, what are you wearing?” Gina was laughing at her friend Gloria. “You think that flower is going to get you a man? Girl, you are crazy! You know all they think about is their next meal, give it up!”
Gloria kept strutting around, hoping to stand out enough on the purple gravel to attract George, her favorite beau. “George likes flowers, and I think he’ll be happy to see the ones I’m wearing.”
“You be careful now!” As Gina left, she saw George jump down, landing right next to Gloria. “Guess she was right, he does love those flowers!”

“Seeing is believing, but I still can’t fathom it!” Joe declared, sitting with his wife Maddie. Maddie thought it was impossible to hear. The past few months had been a nightmare, as far as she and Joe were concerned. Joe lost his regular job, and Maddie was just hanging on to hers, a nurse in the small local hospital. It seemed that since Joe had now become part of the National Guard, his beliefs were skewed. The town was in turmoil with Joe and his friends asked to do the president‘s bidding. “They shot and killed him”, he mumbled sadly.

Yesterday? Contemplating, aka just sitting around thinking🤠 Actually what I was really doing was figuring out if I had enough baking supplies to make cookies for Christmas presents. I make good molasses cookies and peanut butter that really taste like peanut butter. I find most store bakeries etc do not have enough flavor. I have a few reliable recipes on hand. Have a good Thanksgiving if you celebrate💕
