Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for April 08, 2022

FWB?

Arlo, trust? Big leap of faith. How will it turn out?

At least it’s not “Let’s just be friends.”

Opening up the portfolio, very telling since art is the language of the soul.

Poor Janis always did have some slight self-confidence issues, but she is quite brave and more determined than she thought.

Very impressed by her bravery.

How much longer before we get to when Janis modeled in art class?

Forty five years and change. This timeline is set in 1975. The first mention of Janis even doing modeling was late 2020:

Started on Monday and only ran until Friday, with no peeks.

Uh oh…she said he makes her happy. She will learn years later that happiness comes from within.

I just love the sequence of events and the emphasis on “trust” as she’s handing him her most prized possession, other than her heart (sniffle).

It’s early yet. I bet she doesn’t know about his addiction to Black Sabbath.

I wonder what the drawings are?

Surprised by the “very.” That’s pretty reassuring for Arlo.

Step one in a lifetime of trust

Watch out, Arlo, Janis is using you.

We men can be insidious.

She is showing him her heart. Handle with care, please.

She’s taking a chance on old fuzzy lip. You think there will be more ups and down in this relationship arc?

The ironic aspect of the trust comment is that Janis turns out to be the one who is not trustworthy.

I remember when my husband told me “I love you” for the first time (after our 3rd date) and I told him “I like you very much”. It became our “thing” for the next 44 years. And yes, I did tell him I loved him, in about an hour after him :)

Showing someone your art is about the biggest leap of trust one can do.

As he drops it all and they get ruined.

With that kind of allure, I’m surprised you ever got married – or got a date.

Crop top halter top is back! Lol.I want to be friends…really good friends!!!Hang on Arlo! She is coming around!

feminine wiles at work

“Trust me, you cant’ trust us. Well, people can trust ME to mean well, but those OTHER men….”

Standing at the edge of a slippery slope.
