I Will Never Look At Sweet Rolls The Same
Last night I went to the library on the way home from work and checked out a few movies. Nothing like free rentals I tell you. But anywho - I ended up watching a comedy called Calendar Girls, which was based was on a true story. Set in the picturesque village of Napely in the UK, we meet 50-something best friends who belong to the local Women's Institute, which is staid and traditional, and to them, boring and silly. When one of their husband dies from cancer, some of the club members decide to raise money for a new sofa in the hospital waiting room by selling a calendar featuring themselves in the nude. Kind of like a male version of The Full Monty. The movie was alright but the fact that I had to watch naked "matured" women hiding behind strategically places sweet rolls and flower buds was a little disturbing to say the least. I still shudder at those images and am trying to get those visuals out from my head.
And now I am off to pick up yet again - another computer I found on - you guessed it - Craig's List. This will the the third pc I have gotten from that site. A roommate of mind is moving out and she mentiond that she needed a pc. So while I was in Florida I was able to secure one for her. I was hoping to surprise her with it, but when I got back it was I that got the surprise. When I was away she went ahead and purchase a used one. After coming by this new revelation - I called the guy and said I wasn't interested anymore, but he got a little upset because he had to hold on to it for over a week on my behalf and that he had already told over 50 people that it was already spoken for. So I couldn't say no and I guess I got an extra one just incase one of the other ones go down. Also, this time since I will be picking it up when it is still light outside, no need to search his name on the internet to see if he is some crazy guy out to kill me.

Bob, I thought you would be used to seeing "mature" women from your volunteer work at the nursing home and senior center?!
