Oh, it makes a difference. My living room has a coffered ceiling. The
smoke detector is about 10 1/2' high. I paid someone to change the
battery last week. Ten years ago I'd have figured a way to get that
high off my step ladder. The others are 9'4" but I had him do them all
while here.

Used to walk 4 or 5 miles, no problem. Across the street to the mailbox
is painful now.

Perhaps one gets tired of well meaning but ill advised medical advice.

I can see it coming here. Had to use the mobility scooter shopping, 3
weeks ago. It literally was the only way.

Yes, that would explain it.

My wife's brother had to go to a chiropractor. He said she was hitting on him the whole time. She made it known that she and her husband were in the process of separating. Mostly, my brother-in-law was interested in the pain that was eating him up. In the end, he had to go to another doctor.

The brothers were always attractive to women. They're like the freaking Wilson brothers. OTOH, they're not ones to get tied down domestically. I call them "the Wild Rovers."

Owen and Luke? I've never found either of them particularly attractive.

Good morning, Cindy. I'm a bit surprised at your comment above.

I'm certainly not attracted to men but I can recognize an attractive guy
that all the women might go after.

Both Owen and Luke Wilson qualify.
George Clooney does.
The older version of Sean Connery. (he looked dorky when he was young).
Then, "Everyone Loves Raymond" except for me. lol

So I'm curious, ignore personalities for a moment (real or perceived).
Among any well known person, who do you find physically attractive?

Hopefully your husband with be first on the list whether or not it's
true. ;)
