caroljane Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I have completed my Christmas by gathering with the whole immediate family (2 sons, 2 2/3 grandsons, daughter in law) yesterday. Contrary to the dictum that the journey not the arrival matters, the day was wonderful and the journey , if not unimportant, definitely uncomfortable.Not the fault of the bus company whose vehicles are nice and warm. It was my own disorganization. I wore my Xmas outfit, or elder son Stu might feel slighted, minus the fur jacket which was too impractical and could not really be said to fit me. I wish I had brought it however, it would have kept my legs warm while waiting for and changing buses in the Great Outdoors. I did not have any clean legwear and mistakenly expected to have time to grab a pair of tights on the way, didn't happen. If you are not a student of geography, Barrie, though not far from Toronto, is the North Pole. Barelegged in my LBD I felt like poor Ashley Wilkes in Gone With the Wind, marching without his boots when "the snow was deep in Virginia."After hugging Stu on arrival the first thing I asked him was did he keep a spare pair of socks in his car.The real extremities wear subject here, is however Stu's wonderful tuque (I prefer that spelling though there is a heated debate about it and toque). It has two protrusions that look like little rabbit legs when they are flopping down, but can be restyled in infinite ways and they are all wonderful. I suggested that it could be braided, but that would require Extensions and thus profane the purity of the design so he rejected the idea. His wife Leigh professes to be embarrassed by his hat and looks impatient when he demonstrates its beauties. I think she is just being playful, but maybe she really hates the tuque. My younger son Andy being single has sometimes opined that married men all seem to be henpecked, since they seem to agree with their wives on most major decisions. I have explained to him he will not understand until he is married himself, may the day come soon.Now he has seen the reality for himself (he loves the tuque too of course). It may irritate the wife every time she sees it. It may delight the husband whenever he wears it and all who see it. They'll work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the report! My younger son Andy being single has sometimes opined that married men all seem to be henpecked, since they seem to agree with their wives on most major decisions. I have explained to him he will not understand until he is married himself, may the day come soon.During a recent dinner with friends, a woman mentioned that one of the things she liked about marriage is that "men let you mold them." She said it casually, like she was describing the weather. There was nothing in her tone to suggest that she was saying anything everyone did not already know.Single life has its perks.

You're correct, Jan 19 is the scheduled arrival date. Gives me time to stock up on leggings.Jamie age 2 5/6 seems a bit dubious about the whole enterprise. When asked "Where's your brother?" he points to his mother and says, "In the belly." Then he changes the subject. My impression is, he is not convinced, and definitely not eager that any brother is coming out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your associate membership in the Fraternal Order of the Sacred Igloo is not irrevocable.Did I mention that the rabbit legs/ears protrude from the top of the tuque where the pompom usually is?

I never met any moldable men, but my first love was an Objectivist and my husband was a Scotsman, so maybe I'm not the best judge of males in general.

We reconnected via email a couple of years ago actually, and that got me reinterested in the Oism world which I had not really thought about for decades. He did not want to talk about it however, as he has become an anarchist , so when I got my computer I started looking around, ... that's ultimately the reason I am now infesting your site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelThat is true Michael, but I reject your implication that my own folly (which there was lots of) was to my loss. On the contrary, having loved and lost and been mistaken and screwed up in pursuit of sex (it was great) power (I have enough, thanks) and money (oh well), I have only gained.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Carol,Who said you lost anything?initially, I just thought you were a socialist looking to troll the "stupid people." (First impression.) My gut said no, but I only had your words to go on back then. Anyway, I went with my gut as you well know. And anyway once again, my standard is character, not dogma--and you are good people (and then some).But I always wondered what attracted you to OL. Now I see you were scratching an old itch. (One of the BIG THREE.)Er...I will stop right there before I say something stupid for real... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
