Bucknackt's Sordid Tawdry Blog

BUCKNACKT'S SORDID TAWDRY BLOG We should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive & well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate, bier or wein in hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WHOO-HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!!!!!"

MISS MANNERS ON RINGS



 SOMETIMES Miss Manners just slays me! Like with this answer.....

Dear Miss Manners: About six months ago, I lost my beloved husband after 34 years of marriage. At the five-month mark, I took off my rings, having realized that they were fairly tight. I’ve decided to leave them off permanently.

This is not a sign that I want to date again or a sign that I didn’t love my husband. It’s simply practical. I’ve been advised that the proper move would have been to wear them on my right hand. I don’t want to wear them on my right hand, and even if I did, doing so would have required all three rings to be resized. What are Miss Manners’ thoughts?

That your advisers should mind their own business.

About Me

My photo
Bucknackt
Ashburn, VA, United States
Love my family & friends, the outdoors, camping, hiking, wandering in the woods or on the beach, concerts at Wolf Trap, the Smithsonians and the Mall in D.C. Enjoy all kinds of music except rap and scat jazz. Read a lot, history and politics, murder mysteries, crime and espionage books. Love PBS and NPR and yes, I support my local stations each year. And bears....I love bears! And my name, Bucknackt? It is from an episode of Seinfeld...Jerry and George are talking about porn and George said if he was ever a porn star his screen name would be Buck Naked. That just struck me as hysterical...so I made it my screen name, auf Deutsch!
