Still-Life w/ Love-Seat ....
How 'bout that, huh?
Just imagine Marlon Brando kickin' back on that thing with a blanket over his legs mumbling as he reads Hemmingway and you're pretty much there.

Lookin' sharp!
Wow! I wanna hang out on the porch. I think it could be dangerous to imbibe while in the new lounger, though--you'd never get out.
Excellent design & usage suggestions, Super Dog.
Rumor has it that there's already been some problems with people getting out of Red Lounger before going comatose.
I think even sober I'd have a hard time getting out of that baby.
I love the design. Sort of a diner booth meets loveseat meets adjustable vibrating bed thing. The color is awesome. Plus, it's pleather so there's no spill or stain worries--just wipe 'er down. An exceptional find, B.
And it really ties the room together.
Beats waxing one's legs.
Nope, never waxed anything. But I live with a woman who's tried it. She doesn't wax anything now, either.
I can hear it now... Hey, girls! Great idea! Let's rip all the hair out of our bodies by the roots!
Who comes up with this crap? And why do so many people buy into it?
wax on... wax off...
It's true ... Wendy and I fell asleep on "the Chair" from 1am 'til 4am last night. I'm sure we'll be naming the Chair soon, though I do like "the Red Vibetron 900-LE"!!
Yeah, I like Vibetron Delux 900. Reminds me of a rather low budget film I saw this one time...
Now I just have to decide between Vibetron Delux 900 and my earlier choice, Dr. Chair ...
May I suggest a slightly alternate spelling? How about Vibratron?
Let it grow, indeed! Unless you're one of Corky's cousins.
Would SQSD then pass the MANGINA test?
I give you this anonymous quote:
"Men are men, but man is a woman".
Please, explain the myth of MANGINA. How does one obtain this superhero status?
My own Jean Cedar and, of course, Wendy would certainly fall into WEENUS territory (if I properly grasp the concept).
But please, tell the tale of MANGINA.
By the way, TC, don't you have that ever-so-promising 2nd date tomorrow evening? What's on the agenda? But keep it PG. You know, for the kids.
EEEWWW!!!!! I hope it's not true. Guys like that just make me embarassed for our gender. It makes us all look bad. There is that whole charming misogynist personality type--I hope that isn't his deal. His lesbian grrlz softball involvement sort of rules THAT out, though.
Do you like fresh tuna? Seared yellowfin with a salad could be good. It's quick & not too messy. A package of mixed greens with walnuts, crumbled bleu cheese, steamed asparagus, and a raspberry vinagrette is very tasty. Some fresh raspberries would be a nice touch. The sweet & sour & bitter is quite good. Light & low-carb too. Add a buttery Chardonnay or a fruity Gerwurz and you've got one fine meal. Just an idea.
I agree that 3 times shows serious interest. You can pretty much tell after one date whether you're interested or not.
I hate giving advice, 'cause I'm no expert, but I think you need to lay your cards on the table. If he's a player and talks about it's "a complicated situation" or whatever, lose him before you invest too much. If he's a good guy he'll do the right thing and discontinue his other relationship before he pursues you further.
I don't know either of you so it's hard to know how to advise you. I like you based on our blog chats & the fact that you're Wendy's good friend means a lot in my opinion, too. It sounds like you're attracted to the man. So I hope for your sake he's a good guy. But I've known lots of guys who like to mess with women (and I don't mean they've been around the block a few times), I mean they lie & cheat and f___ with women's hearts. I've yet to see one of those guys change their ways. Those are the guys who make me embarassed for my gender.
Well said, Super Dog.
I take no offense to Mangina labelling.
what a lovely thread! you three will be found in the corner of a tent on wedding night creating issues just to solve them. i'm so glad that the blog we've created put you three together. and your locations (if mapped) create something of a holy trinity, don't you think? it's a certain kind of triangle.... one with one longer side (the one, of course, stretching to Texas. what would the name of that triangle be.... i'll ask Hannah or Kitty.
meanwhile, what i'm enjoying now is what has developed keeping "the kids" underexposed. what lies between the lines is good stuff, ripe for the imagination of readers. way to make lemon martinis, mates!
I ain't got no halo, ladies, and I don't think I shine.
TC, in answer to the sisters question, no. I am completely siblingless. You know, the spoiled only child. But as I said elsewhere in the 'blog, I do enjoy my friendships with women.
SQSD, cooking is an important activity in my little world. We eat well at our house & try to experiment with new things. The Tuna & salad (usually Caesar) is something we have about once a week. The mixed greens affair I suggested above is something we have less often but is another favorite.
W & B, it almost feels lately like you've been crowded out of your own 'blog. More commentary from you guys would be nice and would help me feel less of a 'blog hog. I realize you get things started with the original posts but then you seem to disappear again until the end. Or is that by design?
Walter, the dude doesn't do design, man. But, no ... It's awesome! -- just this morning, I get up, make the coffee, fire up the computer, open my mail and I've already been notified that you guys are up and have written in already ... I smiled. Thanks a ton for digging this! And now back to the coffee. I'll be around. Oh, and since there's 90 comments on this newest post, I better get busy with a new one.
Hey Lone Star.... I commented (4 up) and you didn't notice! (slipped in under the radar, I guess.... but you might want to check it.... there's a triangle question there you may be able to answer).
Weighing in on the Mangina club, Trisha.... given that LS and SQ have been such sisters to you during your pre and post Yoga Man to the extent that you have required no contact with me on the subject (until last night - and that was just a check in), I think they qualify heavily for Mangina status, don't you? My only hesitation is that neither of them have that macho thing going on the other margin. Unless I'm mistaken, that was the reason we gave Hannah supreme Weenus (and shouldn't that really be spelled "wenis"?) status..... because she is SO girly girl AND so gifted with testosterone.
Give me your thoughts.....
OK, 3rd attempt @ typing this. Everytime I get close to finish my window refreshes & I lose my efforts.
Scout, I did read your above post but could not answer your geometry quiz since it's been over 30 years since 9th Grade. Also, I do not know exact locations of Corona and Super Dog. I'm guessing she's in So. Carolina somwhere because that's your old stompin' ground. Super Dog mentioned being in the Northeast in previous thread, but that could be anyplace north of Philly.
Googled the answer to geometry quiz. The triangle in question would be either an obtuse-angled or scalene.
For the record, my macho factor is fairly low. Macho mainly comes out as a defense and/or acceptance mechanism when in the company of the more truly macho. Scale of 1 to 10, I'd say about a 4, 4.5 tops.
I can handle a chainsaw pretty well though....
ah yes.... chainsaw handling definitely factors in and we should have known that after having viewed your pile! That would raise your macho scale at least two and a half points.... so we'll say your are at a 7 now.
Pardon my blunder on the North/South thing.
And 7 is at least a point too high. My self-rating took chain saw abilities into account. FYI, no chain saws were used in creating aforementioned pile.
Your wish is granted, Sugar Q Super Dog.

Good luck, Corona. I'm keepin' my legs crossed for ya.
