Well there you go. Another one of those phrases that you need to answer correctly. Like, “I don’t care, where do you want to eat?” or "I really don’t want anything for Christmas”.
That’s life. Years ago one of my fourth daughter’s bridesmaids was a striking blonde. I mentioned this to a couple of our older kids when my son said “Father! You’re not supposed to notice things like that!” My wife asked what was going on. “Nothing” I said, “These two just think they came in the mail”
Charles de Gaulle once said, “old age is a shipwreck”. Be glad you are still vertical, savor the days you have and accept the fact you aren’t a teenager ~then move on…
it can be hard to realize that the things we don’t like in the mirror don’t really bother our friends and family. Strangers, on the other hand, can be brutal.
Right now husband is about to do a terribly romantic thing. I am at the tail end of a bad cold and he is about to – for the third week – refill our daily pill boxes (5 combined). It is normally my job as it drives him crazy. I keep one (extra) week in our travel boxes so it will be easy for him to transfer to our home boxes, but this is now the second week he has to figure it all out. It is sweet to watch him try to figure it all out.

Keep it up Janis, it’ll chase Arlo away for somebody who graciously accepts his compliments.

Face it, Janis – you ARE the Venus de Arlo.

Always tell the truth. No one will ever believe you, anyway.

Sounds like she just said “Show me!” Arlo is contemplating “OK. You asked for it.”

I love Arlo’s ‘Not moving until you take that back,’ expression!

When in doubt tell the truth. It will confound your enemies and astound your friends.

I usually tell my lady that sort of thing afterward. Then she knows I’m sincere and have no ulterior motive. Of course I do – next time.

She’s flattered by the compliment, but doesn’t believe him for one second.

“No. I actually think you’re a hideous beast-woman whose face would freeze sewage and whose body would shame an orc. Or am I “just saying that?”

Janis, remember you’re married so he is no longer obligated to compliment you. So they have to be coming from the heart.

Actually, he thinks you look even more beautiful because you used to be a mite skinny.

Janis is so dumb. A smart women would never discourage her lover from thinking she is beautiful.

If she keeps telling him that she’s unattractive, he will eventually agree with her.

Arlo doesn’t have to say anything to prove how attractive he finds Janis… “little Arlo” is giving her a full salute to prove it!
