Oh, Steph that picture of Chloe is too funny!
So, I just sent my weekly blog entry to my dad to look at. He thinks I should switch "the boy" to "my special male friend." Usually he's quite insightful on these kinds of changes, but um, no. I'm gonna put my foot down on this one.
Nice guns, Steph's The Boy!!

I'm not sure why that's so wrong but it really, really is. I like to say "my gentleman friend" because "boyfriend" is way too strange and new to me.
Somebody was talking about the shock of the cold speculum yesterday? Steph, maybe? It reminded me of my grandmother talking about how her OB/GYN (who was her cousin by marriage actually) won her undying loyalty by putting his instruments on a heating pad set very low to gently warm them.
vw, you could go all formal and refer to him as your "young man"
I convinced dad that it's a generational thing. And I left it. As you can see here: [link]

That's SO not even a good picture of his arms. He does a LOT of manual work in his job, and thus -- those are good arms to have.
vw, I know that when I refer to The Boy as "boy" around anyone but Buffistas (and kinky people, but that's a WHOLE different connotation), they think I'm belittling him (since, after all, he's 41 years old). Maybe that's what your dad thought. Or that you were emphasizing the fact that CBD is younger than you.
I always have to remember to amend "-friend" on the end so that people don't think I'm being demeaning.
Hmmm...interesting. I guess I'm warped by the Buffistas. Go figure!
The funniest thing about having a boyfriend? I suddenly spend much more time keeping my apartment clean. I've swept twice in the last week! What's up with that?

Don't worry that wears off in a couple of years.

Yeah, I figured. The first time he was over here, he was like, "Wow, your place is really clean." I said, "Don't get used to it!"
Then the next night I was at his place, and he had said he didn't keep things really clean, but it was pretty much spotless. He told me not to get used to it...
