Dinner View Out Our Lanai

Shane and I just had dinner at our table on the lanai in our house in Florida and this was our view! We are loving this.

Florida Plates

Shane's grandmother gave Shane her 2007 silver Ford Focus to use in Florida. We spent the afternoon at the tax collector's place getting the tags for the car. We got a specialty plate that contributes to helping sea turtles. How cool is that? Thanks Nanna

What Sets Off Your Gaydar?

What triggers your gaydar? Sometimes it can be a challenge to tell for sure if someone you don't know very well is a Friend of Dorothy. 

Not every gay man is a flamboyant flamer and not every lesbian is a plaid-wearing softball player. Wouldn't life be simpler if everyone would just follow the stereotype?

Luckily, I am taken, so having gaydar isn't really too much of a concern for me. I don't have very good gaydar, but here are a few things that cause my gayometer to go into the red. It doesn't mean the person is gay, but it makes me think he might be.

These, obviously, apply to men, and these are in addition to the obvious things, like having a rainbow flag tattooed on the forehead. Sorry if I offend with my stereotypes and generalizations.

 * When discussing anything related to children's beauty pageants or dance recitals, they bring up Jonbenet Ramsey. 

 * Refers to colors outside of what would be in a regular box of crayons--like mauve or azure. 

 * Uses terms like "boo boo." 

 * Considers going to the gym and sitting in the sauna a workout. 

 * Pays more than $25 for a haircut. 

 * They are smart, attractive, and make lots of money. (Perhaps this is some wishful thinking.) 

 * Watches Project Runway, Dancing With the Stars, or American Idol. 

 * Follows my blog.
