mary lou retton. HD's raison d'etre his joie d'vivre, his beloved, and the object of his stalking.

[CholeraJoe]

Happy Birthday, xs. I will refrain from any age-related remarks.

[xsmommy]

here's a kobe thread. but it isn't a good one. there aren't enough sane posters on it to make it worthwhile. there is a level of stupidity below which even i will not engage. this thread is full of that...

[xsmommy]

whatsamatta? no suggestions that i iron my bday suit? i am hurt ; )

[Conspiracy Guy]

Stupidity is my specialty. I'll check it out.

[xsmommy]

THIS is a decent Kobe thread, but most everyone is still asleep from this one. CinFLA is flailing around, weakly, but not up to full throttle.

[camle]

oimigawd! I was afraid you were referring to maryloo.
her neck is wider than my waist.

[xsmommy]

i will allow HD to defend himself on this. you know, i am kind of in a bind here. i can't rag on HD for his taste in women, because he paid me the supreme compliment this week of saying how YOUTHFUL i looked in a pic i sent him of me and xs2pup. isn't that always the way? the last person that said that to me was a notorious BS artist friend of mine, so when i told xshub that Dolores said i look like a college student in the pic, his response was "too bad Dolores is full of $hit".... everyone is so mean to me...

Hey - caught a video that reminded me of you this morn. It's here for anyone who has the time to download and watch it. The best musical tribute to MILF I've ever seen. Click on "Stacy's Mom" under Fountains of Wayne. Artistic brilliance.

[camle]

when some one says you look "youthful" they mean that they think you're old, and need a compliment. when someone says you look "Cute" they mean that you are attractive and desireable - at whatever age.

which one is the real compliment?

[Hegewisch Dupa]

If I recall correctly, I believe the term I used was "fantabolous", which clearly transcends age. And spelling.

[xsmommy]

yes, i am the one that characterized your compliment as youthful. as i told you, you made my day : )

[camle]

well she quoted you as using the word "youthful" which I have never ever heard describing anyone other than s senior citizen. (shame!)

I have always used the word "Cute" to describe our XS rated mommy

[xsmommy]

: ) yer cute, too.

[camle]

Aw shucks, dearie, I ain't cute! (blush)
I'm old, fat and mean - just ask my ex.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

C'mon, put her down now...

[camle]

you're saying that because with them arms, she's likely to snap yer neck if you don't.

[hobbes1]

IF She was more than four feet tall....she would be hot.....

[xsmommy]

she doesn't do anything for me....

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Hey! She's four-nine and change. That rounds up nicely to five feet.
