Since
I’m now a woman ‘alone’…
All
of my female friends ask…
“So?
Will there be a new man in your life?”
“Well,
not now obviously. It’s too soon. Maybe one day.”
And
then almost all of my friends say…
“If
it was me, at our age, I wouldn’t. Too much trouble.”
Trouble?
Yes, men can be a handful…
But
I love men and their different take on things.
Like
their idea of wall art.
Man: “Look what I got! A free calendar!”
Me: “Oh? From the Chinese take out place? Uh
huh.”
Man: “Where should we put it?
Me: “You
mean like put it on a wall?”
How ‘bout in the garbage
Man:
“I was thinking it would like nice in
your office.”
Me: “Uh, no. I have several calendars already.
My
office? You’re teasing right?!
Man: “OK, how about in the family room?”
Me: **staring in disbelief**
Man: “You know, next to that other picture.”
Me: “Well, that other picture is worth a lot…
We got it at a galle
Man: “But I like this calendar. And it was free!”
Well,
the calendar did go up, but in his
area…
Where
he could admire it all day long.
But remembering
that calendar, I wonder…
Is anything
that’s free...
No matter how ugly—a prize to guys?
If
you’re a guy, Please weigh in.
Ladies?
Has your guy ever brought home ugly free stuff?
But truthfully?
If free
ugly stuff is the worst a guy brings to a relationship…
I’ll
take it.
Always,
Em-Musing

Not this guy! My wife is more likely to bring home ugly free stuff than me.
My husband would never allow anything ugly in our house. If he thinks it's questionable, it goes in my office. Free doesn't excite him like it does me, but then he came from a well-off family and never had to think about things like that.
My mom has been widowed for almost 20 years now, and never remarried. She dated a good bit for the first ten years but most of those guys were idiots
I agree with you on several accounts. 1. I like men (better than women actually). They are a bother but being alone ain't so great either.
2. Free stuff looks better to men than women. No matter what your circumstances they can't seem to get over that breadwinner stuff and free is...well free.
3 Finally, it's important that everybody have their own space for free stuff and everything else.
HA! Reminds me of that movie A Christmas Story when the dad wins that awful lamp but is so proud of it because he won it. LOL
There's no accounting for taste. You either have it, or you don't. I don't think that the line can be drawn at sexes though. I know plenty of women who have no taste at all.
