Just got an e-mail saying that the senate had signed the bill and that the president was going to sign it. Well basically, I guess that means people in the military can be openly gay once this goes into effect. Strike one...

You can squeeze my sausage

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 4 Feb 10

Other than sausage rolls or forcemeat stuffing does anyone have any idea for sausage meat. I am sure that there are zillions of ideas but I just can't think of them.

Calling Brazil

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 2 Feb 10

The Boss visited the beauty studio at the weekend and asked me if I'd like to come with her. "You can have a Brazilian" she said. Now I felt that this was unusually enlightened for my wife of 23 years. But when I enquired how long...

novataylor Uh, nope. Not any of 'em, p1key. And not being 'a fairly hirsute chap' such as yourself, I really have no need of such trappings of beauty. Anyway, I go through enough, for cryin' out loud! Natural beauty takes time, they say. Time and aggravation, I say! But...

To all ladies but especially those over 50 or thereabouts

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 2 Feb 10

As I grow in age, I value women over 50 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why: A woman over 50 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think. If a...

novataylor Aw, p1key, you can make me feel all wonderfully warm and fuzzy inside without touching or even looking at me. You are a wonder, a man among men, but few men, those blessed few who truly love women, women as a whole, as a species, and when it comes to...

PJs on - off to the stores

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 30 Jan 10

A major UK supermarket has got fed up with customers going shopping in their nightwear and slippers and has banned them from its stores until they are "properly" attired in day clothes. I am on the supermarket's side on this. As a...

novataylor When I go shopping for clothes, p1key, I have to fix up. If I feel I look like crap, I won't like anything I try on. Make sense? Of course it does! And I've never gone to the grocery store or drugstore or anywhere else, for that matter, in my pajamas and...

Just a Minute

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 29 Jan 10

When I am having "E" discussions on Skype for example, people, including me, often say "Just a Minute" or "BRB (Be Right Back))" because they need to do something. But have you ever noticed just how long a "minute" can be? How...

novataylor Wellll, for me, as you know, a minute can be kinda long. But I try, I do, I do, I do. Oh hey, do you mind? I've just gotta get more coffee. Be right back.

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 27 Jan 10

You've waited all week to see the next part of your favourite TV show. You are settled, comfy and warm. Drink and snack to hand everybody has been sent out or knows better than to interrupt. Then it happens - there's someone at...

It's Friday - Let's stay at home

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 22 Jan 10

When I was in my twenties and living in London (England) I looked forward to the weekends as a break from the drudgery of work. But I rarely went out on both friday and saturday nights. In fact a friend used to say that people...

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 22 Jan 10

Variation on a Theme

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 20 Jan 10

Yesterday I explained that we'd had a Transvestite visit. That got me thinking. I'm pretty relaxed about such things, but how would I respond if a close (to me) family member decided to do that? Or a very macho friend perhaps....

Do you smear fish scales on your lips?

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 5 Dec 09

Apparently most makes of lipstick contain fish scales! I suppose that's OK if you kiss fish. So purely in the interests of science ladies; I'm puckering up...... Smooch.

novataylor If you're puckering up, I'm getting in line! And actually, I've known for probably, ohhh, ever about fish scales in lipstick. Not such a pleasant thought, but only one of the many sacrifices we face and horrors we endure in pursuit of beauty. Listen sugar,...
