If someone asks how many girlfriends he's had, he'll say something like '620'. And then person will just think he's a joker. It's great. I'm guessing the guy has an amazing family tree. His progeny alone could probably populate an entire small town.Michele Haufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255612473985897103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-63862532428833257932008-03-10T11:47:00.000-05:002008-03-10T11:47:00.000-05:00I just don't think it's right to be prejudiced aga...I just don't think it's right to be prejudiced against younger guys. Ageism is wrong. :)<BR/><BR/>But my daughter and I have had the discussion about young men a hundred times when I used to drive her to high school. If you scope the mob you'll see about 1000 gorgeeeeeous young women. Then the boys come...pimply, scraggly haired, pants too short...basically dragging their knuckles down the sidewalk after the girls. <BR/><BR/>I don't think the scenery has really improved that much since we were looking, Helen. You're just seeing the creme de la creme. It takes 'em a while to age properly. Kind of like cheese. :)lois greimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05758677401591191607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-74398651911533490822008-03-10T11:21:00.000-05:002008-03-10T11:21:00.000-05:00Betina - John is the gardener character in Despera...Betina - John is the gardener character in Desperate Housewives and he's the first pic.

Season 1 was great. Season 2 wandered off in some other directions, but Season 3 got back on track. Of course Season 4 was interrupted by the writers' strike. I'm hoping they get a few more episodes in the can before summer, but there's a real possibility they won't. John the gardner reappears briefly in season 4.<BR/><BR/>Not crazy about the name Mike but I love James Denton. Dianne Castell used to have a great photo on her website of him reading her book. Real men DO read romance. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I took that Which Housewife test before. I can't remember which I was, but I'm probably more like Mrs. McCluskey than the housewives. LOL! I love her character -- so droll and ascerbic, but a heart of gold. And after the tornado this season, she gave such a great performance.<BR/><BR/>MarilynPlayground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-92232150917061060272008-03-10T10:38:00.000-05:002008-03-10T10:38:00.000-05:00Hey Helen. thanks for the jump start.

I like the gardener. <BR/><BR/>But, speaking of babies, what about David Archuleta on American Idol?? Now, it's mother love, not lust that has me drooling over that little sweetie. I just want to give him a cookie or something. What a sweetie pie.<BR/><BR/>And Betina - I LOVE New Amsterdam. The guy is hot and the script is great AND I love the graphics in the intro that runs the progression of New Amsterdam to NYC. Can't wait to see how this love story progresses.Cindy Gerardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311224531297908704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-25350388394192317332008-03-10T10:30:00.000-05:002008-03-10T10:30:00.000-05:00I'm a Lynette, too Helen!

Except that in my car, everybody would BE buckled up. I'm a fanatic about that.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure who John is. . . and since (ahem) no photo was provided I'll have to go with the guy in the shirt and stubble. And yeah, the really young baby-faced boys don't do it for me. I need stubble, six-packs, and a hint of world-weariness in the eyes. I guess I'd be more of a Patrick Dempsey girl.<BR/><BR/>Hey, anybody else catch that great new show "New Amsterdam"? It's so cool that the guy "Amsterdam" has seen the city of New York through all of its development. Interestingly, he's not overly secretive about it. It's just that people usually think he's stretching it or being funny. AND. . . so cool. . . the thing he as to do is find his soul mate! It's a LOVE story. A for really romance about to finally happen, after 400 years!!!

Then I can just pretend that they are the perfect age for me. Though I admit to drooling over the youngsters as well. And I was delightfully surprised to learn my two favorite guys who play the brothers Winchester as young twenty-somethings are both actually in their thirties. Yeah! <BR/><BR/>On the other end of the spectrum. I can look at Johnny Depp and know he's as old as I am, and be thrilled that some of them only get better with age. <BR/><BR/>Mike or John? I haven't watched the show for years, but I'll take Mike because he is older and a little wiser. (Though, if he married Susan, then I suppose that rules out wiser.)Michele Haufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255612473985897103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-50287816761110524062008-03-10T09:40:00.000-05:002008-03-10T09:40:00.000-05:00Though I have extreme aversion to the name "Mike",...Though I have extreme aversion to the name "Mike", I'm going to have to go with Mike.
