Talking to someone, kissing and groping, and asking to see someone again (or not), requires a heart, a brain, a mouth, and the ability to communicate. Your genitalia—and your partner’s genitalia—are only relevant if you prefer some types of genitalia over others.
Yeah, we don’t even have Jewish holidays here.
A true democrat!
oh Lordy. i adore Jonah. if not for the wedding in Sept and the maybe trip to London in October, i would be lobbying for the National Review cruise in November, bc it would be my shot at Jonah!
I actually saw that article from a Twitter link a couple days before Jonah posted it.
And last week it was “PIV.” Did you see that one?
So did I, but this facility has a good proportion of men. I think there are more men now than when she moved in. I try to count, but it is misleading because not everyone comes to dinner. Some take dinner in their rooms, although that is discouraged. Almost half of the residents at dinner last night were men. Mom has all men at her table now, and we enjoy visiting with them. The men are friendlier than the ladies.
The table next to her is 100% men -- al doctors. One of them is a real a$$ ("I sit at the DOCTOR'S table," he barks at the aide pushing his chair.) But, the others are nice. There are also several couples in the facility.
Oddly, in a larger context, this particular age, and medium, allows you to connect...absent the physical, and know someone inside...which is..A good thing.IMO.
For all of the crass male things we banter about..minds are the sexiest parts of people.
Just this reporters opinion.
That is unusual. There were mostly women at the places where my dad lived. And they were noticeably more cranky and demanding.
Stock up on the Skittles...lol
And yes, I’ve been a mused of late....in a puckish sort of way...
doesn’t sound familiar? i do get his Gfile. also, yesterday he alluded to some exciting news to be upcoming from him in the next day or so...
Good morning - shivering in Houston at 40 degrees this morning.....
I learned that, a new term, last week. lol.
One of the local stations here teased about a big announcement with a special guest coming up in the next segment so I stayed tuned and stayed tuned and it was one of the weekend anchors saying their show would be starting at 5 am instead of 6 am on the weekends now. Really? That’s all they’ve got?
Sorry, not from Jonah, just going around the interwebs.

Warning this is a little graphic and a whole lot of stupid.
It makes me want to bottle a Dr. Pepper knockoff called “Mr. PIV.”
Ugh, I read that article about PIV to my husband and he has joked about it all week!
