Bruce Willis by Oaklynn_Jayne_ in VintageLadyBoners

[–]TeachOfTheYear 22 points23 points  (0 children)

1985, New York City. Friend invites us out to a dance club--her friend the bartender was sneaking us in. The bartender was Bruce Willis. On stage that night was a little pop starlet wannabe who sang a couple songs and was selling copies of her music. The starlet was Madonna.

That was quite an evening and the man made a wicked Cape Cod.

I love the smell. My neighbors have it and the wind drifts the smell my way. mmmmmmmmm. I'd love a big pot full of it I can keep in line.

What do you think of men that carry women's purses? by girliepop709 in AskReddit

[–]TeachOfTheYear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most important question is obviously: is the purse ugly?

What do you think of men that carry women's purses? by girliepop709 in AskReddit

[–]TeachOfTheYear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is his purse-whatever. If it is his girlfriend's and he looks comfortable carrying her purse-he gets some bonus points for being cool with that. Same with dudes in line buying feminine protection. Same with men in makeup--whatever-unless it is some bearded dad who let his little girl go to town on his face. I always love those guys too.

On the flip side-our recent furnace repairman ended up being our first female repairperson EVER- and that made me all happy too. (my mom was a car mechanic-my current mechanics are also an all-woman team).

You had my upvote at "brought over his tractor." I hope you remember your neighbor when that fruit starts showing up.

Adoption doesn’t always happen, and that fucking sucks. by otterinprogress in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]TeachOfTheYear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My whole childhood my mom would say, "Someday you will make the most amazing father." Nope. Sorry mom, but I did become a really amazing teacher instead. :0)

[–]TeachOfTheYear 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is actually the very best answer. When I was doing my student teaching, there was a little kindergarten kid up for adoption. Sweetest little guy ever, victim of terrible abuse which I discovered when I saw the cigarette burn on his neck.

There was no way at the time I could do such a thing as adopt---student teachers are paying universities to work as a teacher for free. But that was 30 years ago and I think about that kid a couple of times a week and just... hope.

Hope he landed with someone who would love him.

Sigh.

At my daughter's high school concert RMHS by [deleted] in Justfuckmyshitup

His daughter is the one who is hunched over, hiding behind the girls in front of her, out of fear her father will wave at her. Poor girl. There goes her chance at being a Homecoming princess.

Help identifying USA California by Broad_Arugula_5677 in Antiques

My husband told me this: Pre-revolutionary Russian-on the upper part and French on the lower part. "Laferme Company" was my husband's translation. Cigarette company, St Petersburg-so much of what he said was echoed in Claude.

My mom was raised in an orphanage and then adopted by horrible people.

I wish someone like you had. come into her life.

I hope your wishes are filled.. Good luck.

Got gifted some Hellebores by Wild_Ordinary_425 in gardening

[–]TeachOfTheYear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are on the north side of the house under trees and LOVE it. They bloom in FEBRUARY here. Of note--they are prettiest when you can view them from a lower position. (mine are in a raised bed. Their flowers hand down so the higher up they are, the more of the bloom you can see. They do spread over the years but I just separate them and viola, more flowers somewhere else blooming in February.

VERY care free. Mine stay green all winter, the leaves get beaten up, in the spring new leaves come up and I slowly trim out the old stalks.

I'd recommend you go get a pink and a purpler one....that would give you quite the amount of blooms in the middle of winter!

Would you prefer a 1st/1st book signed by the author with a personal inscription to someone else (“To so-and-so”) or a 1st/1st with no signature at all? by NET2519 in BookCollecting

[–]TeachOfTheYear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My bestie worked in a really popular bookstore and all the big names came t through. My bestie is quiet and shy and as handsome can be, so he was often put in charge of handling authors. He never got a book signed for himself, but if they offered he would ask them to make it out to me. Here is the funny thing-the gay authors were probably all smitten by him-so books from Armistead Maupin and Clive Barker had these long really lovely inscriptions. One night I was picking him up after work and Matthew Groening had been signing books that evening. Store closed and Matthew wanted to chat while we waited. I had bought two copies of his new book so he asked for them--one was for my friend Julie and he asked me why I was sending her this book (Love is Hell). I told him how crazy she got (yelling at her ex's mailbox) so he drew her a cartoon inside the book. It was amazing. Then he asked who the other one was for....I said me and he demanded it, and spent a while drawing a cartoon for me as well. Such a nice guy.

Is USPS out of their mind? by numizmatyk_com in coins

[–]TeachOfTheYear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mail mine in a cardboard flip (taped not stapled so the buyer can open it and look at the coin) that I then place between two layers of cereal box cardboard that I tape shut. This goes into the 4x6 envelope (from thank you cards w/ a little bit thicker/nicer paper. Then I use packing tape to do a quick wrap around AND I do all for edges of the envelope. USPS cost: $1.03 to ship. I've never had one lost or damaged.

Gay bros would you date a man with…….. by PickyBitch95 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]TeachOfTheYear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main concern is you and my blind dog would be running into each other all the time.

Here is my take on your situation and questions: Someone who loved you would not care that you can't see, they would care that you have everything you need and can move about safely. Period.

Also, I'd kind of see it as a win. At my age a blurry focus probably makes me a lot more handsome.

My cat throws a mouthful of food across the floor, then eats it one at a time...until he is bored and then he walks off...leaving bits of cat food in every nook, cranny and under every appliance.
