I always knew you were a character, but now I can't help thinking about the tattooed pipe smoking cougar.I hope you're not offended.
Now THATS funny! But I suppose it is accurate! I am a bit of a gregarious eccentric. Tattoos happened because first hubby was a well known tattoo artist. Funny, he smoked a pipe but I had no interest. Pipe smoking happened because when current hubby Bern n I first got married he mentioned he’d like to try pipe smoking but remembered my late husband smoked them. Considering Bern wore glasses and shaved his head, just as late hubby had done, he didn’t want my kids to think he was trying to imitate or replace. So, me being me, I bought him one for Christmas. He enjoyed it so much he would talk obsessively about how wonderful it was, outclassing cigarettes. I decided to have some fun and grabbed one of his pipes and jokingly played at it for two weeks. At that point I happened upon a tobacco that absolutely stunned me. And I never looked back.
As for cougar? Bern was an internet gaming friend who lived in England. I was flying to Greece with a 5 hour layover in London. Bern met me at the airport to have lunch and keep me company. He admitted he had a crush and began his pursuit. We flew back and forth visiting. He proposed several times over 6 years. I kept saying no because of our ages. But after six years I realized I wasn’t seeing anyone else and was wasting time and flight time. So here we are! It’s an odd pairing, he’s British reserved attitude, and me, well, I’m me. Been married 16 years.
And that’s the rest of the story.
