I like your story. I get it. Too many smileys make me drool.

The times were changing, but she didn't get it.

I got one, but was disappointed that the most advanced thing it would do was write with "invisible ink" made from lemon juice. I wanted to blow up the bathroom.

>>> When I went to college my mom nagged me constantly to wear more makeup, paint my eyes like a boll weevil, and "do something with your hair," preferably helmet hair. She kept telling me that was the only way to catch a man. I told her I didn't want to catch one, I wanted to find one who liked me for how I was. She was positive I would never marry. But I did, and we still are, and my sister who wore more makeup masks and slept in beer-can rollers is on her third husband.
