You may have something. I’d check crookedness of bangs for 100% match.
Those bangs were never an impediment banging a few moms. I think many like the hair.
I discussed this with my hair person. She said, "you have hair at your age, go with it" So realizing jealousy was
the motive I roll with it. With all that love ( i discussed in the chat) coming my way at this age the choice seems correct. But I guess if "men" have a problem with it that may speak volumes. I like the womens...........not the men.

Nalt. Go to Mia Apa in Alachua Fla for the guava pastry. You will never question guavas again.........

I will concede on guava pastries. Though Mi Apa is actually a mediocre versio, believe it or not. Still good, but if you’re ever in Tampa or south of Martin county, you’ll find some that will blow you away.

After dating a girl with a bad cocaine habit from Panama City, I learned that people die almost like every other year from getting a bad one. There were names on signs of who they’d lost recently. Regardless the frequency, it would just have to be really, really good to take that risk. I just can’t imagine that being the way I go and would be highly angry as I took my last breaths. Also not a fan of the texture.
Oysters are like female companions: sometimes you get a pearl; sometimes you get ptomaine; most of the time you get that slick, briney goodness. In younger years, at soirées like CD described, I could shuck and eat a couple of dozen (or more) with a little Mexi-Pep, saltine crackers optional, and a foot tub full of cold beer and be as close to heaven as you could find on earth. Now, being immuno-suppressed, I only eat them cooked in some fashion. Good fried ones are hard to beat. Had some at Dockside in Jax a couple weeks back that were on point. Like them baked in a variety of ways (Rockefeller, et al), but a good, fresh, cold raw oyster…there just isn’t anything like it.

I’m sorry you are past oysters. Just don’t ever get past women, coke notwithstanding.

Haha, I have actually had guava but it was in a drink in Hawaii that is called POG. Passion fruit, Orange juice, and Guava. It is really awesome by itself. I imagine it would be good mixed with alcohol too but since I don't drink...

So this opening bit has fk all to do with the rest of your statement. I read your entire post waiting to see how it tied in…and it doesn’t. :waiting: Waiting for THAT story to be told.

Ok, well I started dating this girl from Panama City. Couple years older than me. Did some modeling. Very uniquely hot. As it turns out, she also had a thing for cocaine.

Name something you didnt understand adults liking when you were a kid, but you totally understand now

Saw this on twitter and there were some brilliant responses.

I'll start: coffee

Your mom didn't like getting spanked when she was a kid but oh my how things have changed...

This clears a lot of things up. Most importantly, if she was modeling and partaking of the Yayo, she wasn’t plus-size. You go Cowboy!

Mowing the grass/putzing in the yard. Many a man has based his housing preferences in part on how long this chore would allow him to be alone with his thoughts.
Early morning, drinking a self congratulatory beer and watching the sprinklers for an hour after unclogging, adjusting, repairs etc. we're made.

When I was a kid, I had two thoughts: 1) fix the damned thing the right way the first time rather than screwing with it so much 2) how can you sit for an hour watching a sprinkler. It's not doing anything different on the 200th pass as the first.

Now, as an adult, repairing/adjusting sprinklers early in the a.m. then watching them do thier thing is like watching a symphony. It's glorious.

We were outside this morning burning a small pile, clipping weeds, waiting for the grass to dry so we can mow. Looks like the rain might move in early so beer-thirty could come earlier than expected.

Slow cooked dried beans. (kidney, pinto, lima).

Mom would cook them for what seemed like days. As a kid, I was take them or leave them. Seemed like too much work for just beans.

Now? I just went to Publix to get some. Slow cooked with onions and fat back.

Guava butter
Guava jelly
Guava cobbler
Guava cheesecake
Guava pastry

These are a few of my favorite things.

@Nalt

Guava jelly is similar to mayhaw jelly.

I measure the size of the yard by the number of beers I can drink while mowing it.

The biggest yard I have had was 5 beers.

Current yard is 2 to 3.
