No Ice


I didn't like my date on Saturday with the little old man. He wanted to know if we could SHARE a diet Coke at the movies. That's a bit over the top, even for me.

Cheap bothers me.

He mentioned very casually that he had lost a million dollars last year in real estate. He owned seven homes and had several sub-prime mortgages. Whatever his situation may be, I think the soda question was in poor taste. Seriously, he suggested two straws. I offered to skip it, but then he ordered a medium for himself. Just to spite him, I got a large.

He mentioned that he had a pre-nup with the second wife. And it's a good thing, too, because he might have ended up having to foot the bill for her soda habit.

Marriage is a cut-throat business. I am OK if I never get married again.
