Hmm - I see your point. I have the same problem and possibly might be inviting some serious trouble... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphrodite

Yeah, it could even be possible that I actually don't look like Eva, even though I wish I did... Luckily Frank and I accept and appreciate each other just as we are. And he is the one who matters to me the most.

I may have put on a few pounds since this photo. But you'll never mistake the twinkle in my eye.

I'll have to admit... Eva gets me every time... but the reclusive W2R is still at the top of my list. imoldernu is up there too as are Alan, Michael and numerous others.

I think an periodic bash would be a hoot... think of the training sessions that we could have... when to take SS or not.... keep or kill that mortgage! The list goes on and on and on....

BTW, my avatar is a picture from my living room window of a mid-winter sun dog.
