You're a bad man. You're a very bad man!
Irreverent, independent, and often snarky partnered married gay boomer and doggie dad who is tired of moral pontification by hypocritical conservative assholes and hate filled religious bigots.
Based on some recent incidents, let me reiterate: If you are the owner of a photo that appears on this site and wish it removed, you don't need to get all legal and send threatening letters and takedown notices; just email me with the photo's URL or leave a comment on the offending post and I will gladly remove it.
In other words…
Retirement
(That's actual number of calendar days. It's a whole lot less if you remove weekends and holidays. And even less than that if you calculate the actual number of days I have to go into the office!)
Hubs, 14 years my JUNIOR, had a heart attack 2 weeks ago so that is where we are headed. Correction: that is where he wants us to go. I made mashed 1/2 potatoes and 1/2 cauliflower; we're eating more fish; no butter; no ice cream! I will have to modify his fanaticism although if it were me who had the heart attack, I'm not sure what I would do. An Italian-American cannot LIVE without pasta or cheese.
Hey, Frank — I've been in your situation, and the key is to allow yourself the pleasures of pasta etc *once in a while.* Make it something to look forward to.
Basically, eat crap for two weeks but then you get to have a real dinner. Then two more weeks of crap…
I would also like to put in a good word for almond milk. It shouldn't be on this list. It's a slightly different taste than 'real milk' but it's good!
