I nervously headed into the restaurant, the last member of the party to join the group. I knew Sue and Dave, but Dave had arranged for a friend of his to make up the foursome with us. All I knew was that his name was Ted and he was older. I’ve always preferred older men, but was wondering if Dave’s definition of Older was like mine. I also realize blind da...
Chapter Eight: Dianne "What the devil is going on?" I shouted. It wasn't anger, although people often misjudge my outbursts as such, no it was pure shock. As far as I knew, Tom had not even returned from his latest adventure. No one had told me he was back. Why didn't anyone tell me? What were they trying to hide? And then to happen upon such a scene. F...
Night fell over the city of Los Angeles. It was a city like no other. A place of endless opportunity. People came to Los Angeles and made it. There were success stories about men and women who went from rags to riches. Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey made it in Tinseltown. So did Larry Flynt and Clint Eastwood. Los Angeles was always full of hope and despai...
There is nothing more embarrassing for a nymph than being a virgin. Every one of my girlfriends has affairs with shepherds, gods, satyrs and everyone else all the time. They gossip all about it, filling their stories with whispers and giggles. I wish I had something to add. I want to have sex in the fields with satyrs. I want to travel to the valleys to suck...
Until my Granddad passed away last year I had been going to see him quite regularly since he moved into a retirement village a few years ago. It isn't like an old peoples home where everyone looks like they have already passed onto the next life, it is a community of decent homes where elderly people are among others like themselves. It isn't a cheap place t...
October 2006 I took the kids to a play-date at a friend's house yesterday. Arrived Saturday morning about 11 am and had a great time seeing their new home which sits on a spacious lot of about 2 acres. They definitely moved to the boonies. Winding roads and farm country empty to the drive of a little cottage style, 3 bedroom ranch, with an open floor plan o...
Jane was exhausted. She struggled to keep from slipping on the slick floor. "Donna?" her voice echoed through the empty room. "Over here." Donna's voice was something to hold on to. That and basic things like getting some clothes and getting back to her car. Donna was sitting on the floor just outside the range of the single light bulb hanging from the cei...
Dear Shoeblossom, I am just an ex-cocktail waitress who married a troubled but worthwhile guy. Mom always told me to find someone classy like a dentist or a Buick dealer. "Mariah, it's as easy to fall in love with a rich guy as a broke guy." But I fell for Raymond Withers, Jr. hard, and I married him right before he went to Vietnam. Still, as in all marria...
He walked into my room while I was sleeping. A low-cost hospital's janitor located in some less prosperous suburban area of Bangkok used his spare key to take care of my resting room's door lock. He was a fat, old Asian guy in his fifties who had got many strange and eerie behavior. One thing, he always wore his dirty boxer shorts and wandered around the sur...
V Tim IN READING what we've written to this point, one would get the impression that, as a rule, I come up with all these bright ideas and Jill docilely -- albeit enthusiastically -- goes along with them. That’s not necessarily so. In fact, if the truth be known, it's usually the other way around. There are several reasons for this, the biggest one being...
