I guess that depends on what you said. If you kept going on and on about how gorgeous Billie Piper was and compared your wife unfavorably, then that would obviously be an unwise thing to do. However, just commenting that an actor or actress is attractive and happens to resemble an ex isn't the worst thing. If your ex wasn't attractive to you, you wouldn't have gotten involved with her in the first place. (Just a guess...) IMO the prudent thing to do is to reiterate why you're married to your wife and not your ex and why you are still together all these years. Most of the women I know don't get all weird about that. I've seen guys get weird about that, though.

Me too! More for us, then - piña colada, Ms. Rue?

Once you've made one, you'll find that any subsequent ones are much easier. You should see the coats I'm working on right now - 1750's English gun crew and officer's coats: two of each (blue with red lining, red with black lining.) Plus a Nelson-era Sailing Master coat in extra-large (blue with white lining.) These will take awhile, but I'll try to remember to post pictures when they are done.

^ sometimes makes me laugh so much the rum shoots out my nose!

My famous (at least locally) mushroom risotto.

Some lucky person at Ojai last year got to bid on a buccaneer shirt hand-sewn by Patrick. Patt - do you know who got that shirt?

Yeah, good buttons can be mighty pricey; and that coat uses quite a lot of them. I did three versions of that coat (Rummy, I think you saw one of them at Kearny - the dark taupe with the gold trim and buttons.) Mine is dark grey with pearl (fake) and filigree buttons - twenty seven of them in all. I used a heavy, dense fabric for mine, so it weighs a ton as well.

Yeah - and dig her justification. I recall that when my ex and I split up I didn't feel compelled to mangle any helpless creatures... If I were the authorities, I'd throw both those folks into a mental facility for some extensive observations.

I can't stop laughing - that is just TOO damn funny!

My first car was a 1963 Chevy Nova that I bought in 1978 - pea soup green.

^ has a very frustrating job.

Aye - this calls for a wagonful of barrels! Much appreciative we are, Jamaica Rose!!

^Has a very talented wife. :)

Rolling Stones: "Hey - you, get off of my cloud." Scotsman: "Hey - McLeod, get off of my ewe."

^ is an all-around great guy.

Have ye checked fer them blue ribbons? One of those kilt wearers is my better half, so I'm the one tying the blue ribbons...

I'm a member of the Scottish Highlander Warriors reinactment group, so I see guys in kilts all the time.

^ makes a killer "mystery grog"

Nope - newer than that. Here's another clue (this one should give it away...) "I don't live here. I'm here for the ladies."

I don't have a cell phone either.
