Barbara thought, angrily scraping plates while Don sat.<br /><br />"I'm coming back as a man so I can be waited on," she thought. <br /><br />Barbara recalled working. All day she'd served food, then again at home. Don had retired. What about her? She bristled, slamming the dishwasher shut.<br /><br />"White with two!" came Don's cheeky order. <br /><br />"Coming up!" Barbara smiled.<br /><br />She marched to the living room door, dropped her pants and mooned him. Her backside was white with two cheeks, she reasoned. <br /><br />Don bellowed with laughter after he got the joke. Then she sat while HE made her a cup of tea. <br /><br /><br /><br />Nesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06860187504607445377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-40490647411024780132017-03-31T13:23:58.963-07:002017-03-31T13:23:58.963-07:00Sounds interesting (or depressing - I'm having...Sounds interesting (or depressing - I'm having a detox while away because I find the loathing in the world is getting to me).

The glistening waters and the enchanting sunset took their breath away. The ruins of an ancient temple stood on a mossy ledge. They wasted no time with words and ran towards the sunset, in to the waters. Playing on the beach, swimming in the crystal clear waters, and admiring the breathtaking scenery…<br />“If only it could be like this forever,” he thought. “But for now…” He went to join his companions, just being happy, without a care in the world. And as night fell, the shimmering moonlight reflected off the glistening waters and for once, paradise was an understatement. <br /><br />(His blog is http://xtremeofiles.blogspot.hk/ - but it's not consistently updated, though.)Buckeroomamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02408502555249594576noreply@blogger.com
