Since I have lost all credibility with regard to my taste in men, I shall refrain from suggesting a suitable partner for our Jeremy.


Aww.... ;D

Well at least three women in the world think he's bit of alright (and that it includes his wife who is also called Jo!)

Yes well, then poor Dupree is going to end up covered in grease! yuck! (just kidding ;D)


that was my first thought too---Nate is just too greasey!!

I may have to go reread Ennis' first impressions of him, and see if I am remembering correctly. LOL

And if that picture up there is the accepted one, (I didn't want the older guy, I remember that-LOL)
maybe you are right, he would  clean up and be just fine, I am still up in the air about it.

You folks are doing a disservice to the radiator repairmen of the world. I am sure Nate will clean up just fine!


Moi? This is Ennis's own assessment of Nate the radiator man:

From Taking Chances, chapter 51

Quote
Ennis turned, startled. “Friday. Shit. I forgot Nate.”

Ellery blinked at him. “Nate? Who’s this Nate? You steppin out on me already?”

Ennis laughed softly. “If you saw how much grease an shit he’s got on em you wouldn’t ask, Ellery. He’s the radiator man. Made a date ta weld the truck today, before I got slugged. Forgot clean about it. Better call em.”

;D  ;)

 Has anyone suggested the priesthood?


That would certainly give him the opportunity to have lots of Gay sex with the Altar boys!

D'oh!

  The neighborhood was so happy that Dooley O'Harder became a Priest.   The neighborhood boys loved him.    They were always calling for him at all hours.  At night if you listened closely you could hear them:  "Father O'Harder!"

I am 100% totally addicted.  Did not think I would be, but can not get enough.  Something else Brokeback to be addicted to.  Oh well.
I wish I knew how to quit you.

Is this new, momof2? If so, welcome to the club, glad to have you here. This thread is our little way of saying, "if you can't beat it, succumb."
