I am laughing at so many of these posts I don’t know where to start!

But the one that got me going was Judy with her “no extra holes” comment. Hilarious!!!

I also want to read about Alan as a curmudgeon. Put 2 guys in a canoe for awhile and it’s not gonna be pretty. My stepson and his best friend go for a 10 day canoe trip every year down the Suwannee. Then they don’t see each other for a couple of months!

Ann — I rarely wear my wedding rings either. I made the mistake of having my engagement ring soldered to my wedding band and then scratched one of the kids, so off they came. I try to put them on before I leave the house (you know, so all the men won’t hit on me) but I often forget. I need to just get a new band with nothing poking out of it. I’ve also thought about getting my hub’s name tattooed on my ring finger. It’s been 13 years, I guess it’s gonna last. And his name is short. But I hate that green tattoo ink. I wonder if it comes in pink.

Judy I love it! You could be my sponsor!!! I have never used press on nails, wraps, tips or anything else on my nails except nail polish……98% of the time just plain old clear nail polish. I like the way my nails look natural….I need to apply this same philosophy to my face.

Catherine, I’m so sorry to hear about your cat. How lucky was little Bailey to have showed up on your door step! You loved her and took good care of her and she loved you back. I’m sending you a big hug.

Hey Christine, if you get that support group going I think I can help out. I’ve worn makeup 3 times in my life…once for my best friend’s wedding because her mother insisted, once when my sister was going to “The School of Cosmetology” and needed a guinea pig, and once to shock a boyfriend who loved me for being “all natural”–I even put on press-on nails. That last episode actually pained me. That’s me…no makeup, no dyes, no extra holes.

Thanks for all of your kind words everyone. It really helps.

Ann, my condolences on your broken blog.

Alan, a curmudgeon? I cannot WAIT to read this book!

Allow me, if you will, to offer a first-hand observation: Ann looks perfectly fine without makeup. This perhaps ranks as one of my greatest understatements. Some of you may recall that, after meeting Ann for the first time this past May, I referred to her as a “total babe.” Trust me, it’s still true. But (and I hope Ann will forgive me this observation), I think Ann is indeed genuinely self-conscious about her appearance, as startling as this might seem to the rest of us. I also think that that quality, that lingering concern, is part of Ann’s personality that endears her to us, her loyal readers.
To those of you who purchase a copy of Deep Travel, let me advise you ahead of time that, though you may know me here as a charming and lovable guy, I perhaps come across in David’s book as something of a curmudgeon. As is usually the case, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
Finally, much love and good vibes to those of you in need of physical and emotional healing right now.

Catherine, so sorry about Bailey, Tracy, so sorry about your hand, and now, I feel very sorry for myself because the effing blog is broken. I can’t post anything. Maybe it’s for the best. Maybe the blog has decided I’ve said quite enough. Anyway, not to make light of poor Bailey and Tracy’s upcoming surgery, and let’s not forget Maureen, who we haven’t heard from today. Hope everything’s okay Maureen.

Catherine,

I am so sorry to read about your Bailey. You gave her a wonderful and loving home and she returned your love, what a great tribute to her memory!

Catherine – so sorry to hear about Bailey. I had to put mine down last year and I was a mess. Try and think about the joy she gave to you and that she chose YOU to love her so. That is the greatest gift. I am so sorry.:(
