Cheese Factor

[NotHardUp1]

There are commercial now playing (on CW, I think) for Fboy Island. https://ew.com/tv/fboy-island-season-3-cast-reveal-the-cw/

And guess who is in the cast this season? Our Wush boy, Marco DelVecchio.

That can't be a big surprise when you look at the career path models become actors become stand-up comics follow.

The show seems to be a shameless meat market of hot guys, reputedly Fboys, and some thin premise about nice guy vs. bad boy competition.

Our Wush actor already has a steady girlfriend, so this confirms that all these "dating" shows are little more than staged "reality" shows to showcase models who are aspiring to act.

If I had to lay down a $10 bet, I'd be willing to guess that he will play a straight guy who is possibly bisexual, and thaat they will contrive some "scanda" in the show for ratings to have him in some compromising position. He already courts gay fans actively on his Instagram page, so playing a cocktease would dovetail perfectly with that.

Of course, the wager would mean someone here would have to make the ultimate sacrifice and actually watch this horrible mess. Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

Persuasive.

Brain dead, apparently.

Read the first post in the 'Age Gap' thread.

See? You're doing fine.

Who concocted that ridiculous word "bachelorette"?
An unmarried woman is a spinster, or maybe a debutante.

Perhaps it's because so few these days can sew, knit or darn, let alone spin. But why marry a woman without such skills?

I've always sorted it as Debutante then School Marm if not married right off and then Spinster when too old to have a child.

Hearing aids are a funny thing. Everyone wants to hide them. It's like wearing contacts instead of glasses.

Me? Heck. Remember AM transistor radios? That ran on a 9 volt battery? Big ol' ear phone that stopped up your ear hole. Radio Shack had a version of ear phone that had a plastic hook so you could hear some background sounds. When and if I ever get hearing aids, I'm totally cool with some old style ear phones and a box the size of a transistor radio hanging from a strap around my neck. Deaf Pride!



Amazon sells hearing aids for not a lot of money. I'm not sure how you program for your ears, something something Smartphone I think.

When I was a child I thought a bachelorette was a bachelor's wife.

Think about that one. Take all the time you need.

The first time I recall hearing the term bachelorette was on the Dating Game in the 1960s. I wouldn't be surprised if they coined the term to avoid the negative associations of words like spinster.

Spinster really needs to make a comeback. If this were a cooking show, we'd be all aglow about the wintry notes the word has, the discernable bitterness it leaves on the tongue, and the dregs that remain in the cup after it's gone. Yes, I'll have the Spinster Cuppa with the Tofu "Twinkie" please.

Back to campaigning now to have "coach" reverted to "steerage" for truth in advertizing. Remember to pack light.

I don't know if we need the term spinster anymore. These days what were considered single women have now all come out as lesbians.

But I have noticed that there are a lot of older women, who, after divorcing their husbands, continue living single, not actively looking for a male partner. It's as if those women have realized that life is indeed better without a man.

Glenda Jackson said that she didn't remarry because "Men are an awful lot of trouble for very little reward."

She was referring to straight men, obviously.
