Pluggers by Rick McKee for February 27, 2024

I think Mr. Houndstooth is looking hot tbh.

You do your best with what you’ve got.

You get your degree in looks when you don’t care anymore – and just do your best and not sweat it anymore.

You know you’ve lost it when people add “for your age” to a compliment.

Phoebe Snow sang “Either or Both”:

♪♫ "Sometimes this face looks so funny

That I hide it behind a book

But sometimes this face has so much class

That I have to sneak a second look" ♫♪

In Life You always got to “Run What Ya Brung” ;-)

Pluggers look good from far, but up close, they look far from good.

I NEVER looked “good.” My mother’s motto was “Handsome is as handsome does.”

Sometimes there’s an old, gray stranger in the mirror, and I don’t seem alone.

I shave it all off and my father is in the mirror. It is really nice because he died in 1989.

Sigh. True. A few years ago a woman told me that “…you haven’t been all that for several years.”

I really became content with being average after attending a twenty-fifth high school reunion and learned that the most popular guys and girls had been divorced multiple times.

Not me. The best I ever got to was, “Not unattractive.”

Positive thinking in action:

Hearing yourself say aloud, “Oh yeah baby” beats “Dirt nap coming” by a long shot.

Wife of 48 years tells me I still got it! I think she does, too! Va- va- va- voom!

Someone needs cataract surgery.

Hey! I resemble that remark! It’s taken me 70 years to look this good!

“Good looking” is replaced by “Good-enough looking”.

Whaddya mean “used to be good-looking”??

The four 1000 lumen bulbs over my shaving mirror are brutal.

Mother loved her ancient wavy bathroom mirror with a 25 W bulb. When she went to my mom’s house she hated the highly polished modern mirror with all the fluorescent bulbs around it

Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble

When you’re perfect in every way

I can’t wait to look in the mirror

Cause I get better lookin’ each day

To know me is to love me

I must be a h#ll of a man

Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble

But I’m doin’ the best that I can

i figure that not looking dead is probably good enough…

Not bad…considering the mileage….

I have never looked good either. (My sister is the pretty one.) But husband insists I do look good and he is not just saying it – to him I actually do.
