Got a compliment the other day!

SeattleSparky · Mar 30, 2011

I was told that I was a classic! A lady that co chairs a n advisory group I participate on told me that I was a classic gentleman!

Nice to be noticed once in a while! Wish the wife could've heard it!! :thumbup:

In some ways, perhaps a backhanded compliment :dots:

Torretta13 · Mar 30, 2011

I was complimented by an old guy the other day for being so patient while walking behind an even older guy. The REALLY old guy (dude was ancient, HAD to be late 60's or 70's) was walking soooo freakin' slowly, and there wasn't enough room to walk around him. Sooo.....I just chilled and gave him his space while I followed him out the door..and the younger old dude (in his 50's) said to me, "wow, I respect how patient you are with that fella. You must be a really patient person. Most folks would get frustrated."

Oh Jeez, I'm just going to go lie in the corner and die.

Ancient... 60 or 70s? Hell, I'm just starting life. :lol:

W_B_K · Mar 30, 2011

60 or 70s is ancient?? :lol:

I'm pushing 40, so I'm not "ancient", but brother let me tell ya, blink a couple of times and next thing you know you'll be 60! Crazy how time flies even quicker as you get older. 60-70 doesn't seem old to me anymore.

Yesterday, out of nowhere, a cute girl I was talking to noticed my close shave and asked me if by chance I shave with a brush and soap. Hahaha. She was not expecting to hear that indeed I did. She proceeded to tell me how sexy it was for a man to shave like that! (No worries, no SWMBO).
Now, I didn't get called a gentleman, but I was pleased all the same.

^^Nah man, I am gonna be 32 forever. Live fast, die young, leave a good lookin' corpse. That's what granddad always used to say. :thumbup:

James Dean style, baby. :thumbup1:

Did you shave with a razor in your 7 day set?

Torretta13 · Mar 30, 2011

she was hitting on you dude, you do realize that, right? She wants your shaving cream....baaaad.

Sadly no. When I know I need a close shave, I still have to resort to the DE! But thanks to you, I am getting better all the time!

Haha, yes she was. Thank goodness I have the B&B community to tell me these things! Where would I be without you guys?
:ladysman:

Torretta13 · Mar 30, 2011

okay, bro. Just as long as you know she was flirting with you. Some guys suffer from such low self-confidence that they don't even know when a hot chick is flirting with them!!!!!

I doubt that James Dean left a good looking corpse - he died in a car crash.

Amen. I'll be 50 next week.

In July, I guess I'll have to oil up the walker for my 23rd Peachtree Road Race 10-K.

and....

YOU KIDS STAY OFF MY LAWN!!!

You asked for her number didn't you?

Actually, I was more interested in her friend's number, and yes, I have it. :biggrin1:

My Dad will be 78 in April. He's a ski instructor. He has a 2.8 handicap in golf. He runs 3-4 miles three days a week.

Oh, and he could kick your ***, Torretta13!

So be careful how you throw about the word "ancient." Ancient is as ancient does, baby.

I did a roof for a guy like that he was 75 and looked 40, never drank smoked or anything. He was in great shape and ran almost everyday. A week later dropped dead.
