I walk through the living room belting out stuff like
RAMA RAMA BEEP BOP
BINGA LINGA DING DONG
Maybe I just need some noise.
I'm alone in a big house.
OK, it's not THAT big, but when you're alone it seems a lot bigger.
And the tile floors bounce off a nice echo-chamber sound.
Miz t. is off to Boston on a Mission of Mercy.
it's a long story, but bottom line is she left last Tuesday and won't be back till next Wednesday.
In the meantime, here I am.
I wonder what's for dinner?

(12,272 posts)That is how I used to do it when leaving my guy alone at home. And, enjoy the belting out of nonsense, maybe it is a primal thing. Or just turn on the music or TV.
At any rate, make it a good time. Rent guy movies, buy what you enjoy eating, that Miz t. doesn't. And sing loudly and proudly if that is what you want to do.

(54,255 posts)That's what I always threaten Miz t. with when she goes off on her own.

(12,272 posts)I see you with a nice steak, potato and salad dinner, maybe a nice glass of red wine. Then relax in a comfortable chair with a glass of good scotch and a favorite movie or book.
And Hooter Babes.

(54,255 posts)Mine's almost totally rusted out.
It's about 4 years old.
A telethon would be great.
trof
(54,255 posts)It's funny.
Miz t. knows I like to cook.
I do it a lot.
And I'm pretty good at it.
I like to improvise and I'm usually pretty successful at it.
I cooked for myself (off and on) for the 9 years after I left home (and mom) until we married.
I didn't lose any weight.
But when she leaves town without me...
whew
She gets into this tizzy about me having enough to eat while she's gone.
She prepares meals and freezes them.
"OK, the (this) and the (that) are right here in the freezer. Just microwave them at...for..."
"And the leftover (the other) is in the fridge. Eat that first."
"Uh, hon? I know my way around a kitchen. I'll be OK."
"I know, I know...I just worry about you."
Bless her.
She does.

(12,272 posts)He likes my cooking better though. I cook Mexican food for him, he says my enchiladas would be his choice for his last meal. And while he will occasionally buy wings, I am his Hooters girl. Yes, I saw that! I am glad this is the lounge, Hooters isn't too popular in other areas of DU. I have actually never been to one and I doubt that you have either.
trof
(54,255 posts)Not really my choice, but a friend likes their wings.
At least that's his story.
I found the food mundane and the Hooters Girls...weary?
siligut
(12,272 posts)I don't know how they stay in business, but I am sure someone in this forum could tell me, initials HH.

(47,675 posts)Thanks for chiming in HH.

(47,675 posts)I'm a pig, but my wife knows it. She also knows I look but don't touch. We've been together so long that it doesn't even matter anymore.
siligut
(12,272 posts)Sex crazed does not mean you are a pig. Though I wouldn't use the term at all, I think to be a pig, some touching would have to be involved.

(47,675 posts)I'm a guy. I like tits. Gee, I'm sure everyone is shocked.
Doc Holliday
(719 posts)No, really.
My bandmates and I (and our SOs, of course) have sort of a tradition of going to Hooters on the day after Christmas to have beers and watch "the game." Neither I nor the wife is a big sports fan, but the camaraderie (and the atmosphere, of course) always make for a good time. No "weary" girls here....our Hooters girls are for the most part lovely Texas Tech coeds. And believe it or not, their food is really good!
So many Lubbockians seem to have this unfounded notion that Hooters is little more than a glorified "titty bar." I guess that's why ours is right across the street from the largest shopping mall in West Texas.
