Oh how married life changes people.
After many years, the foxy girl can become flabby.
That fabulous guy can become frustrating.
And frustrated!
Sometimes I wish my husband was a traveling
salesman who traveled. But then who would catch
the mouse in the kitchen, open the pickle jar I can’t,
scratch the itch on my back I can’t reach, bring me tea
with lemon and honey when I have a sore throat?
I love my husband—most of the time. Even though
I know EVERYTHING about him. But he doesn’t have a
clue about me. What man really knows a woman?
Even after all these years, before I go to bed, I still
sanitize, deodorize, moisturize, and Shalimarize.
My husband just shows up. He’s looking for lust.
I’m looking for love.
So when he’s horney and reaches out in bed,
I don’t think I’m the only woman sometimes thinking:
Bring out your 
wedding picture.
Show your husband.
Maybe he’ll remember that love
and you’ll remember
that lust.
You’re just a button click away– and I’d love to hear from you.
About your world, your family, your joys and frustrations, growing up, growing older, even recipes–even though I stopped cooking–by request–years ago.
Goodbye until next time…
Hope your day turns out as well as I hope
(but doubt) my will,
Gingy (Ilene)

During the 70s I picked up a book by a woman writer called Barry Stevens called,
DON’T PUSH THE RIVER IT WILL FLOW BY ITSELF and it has helped me to cope along with my strong faith, in letting things go. Letting go brings freshness and peace and more in all relationships and it allows me to center on me rather than
Them. My daughter has a family of her own now and we have a wonderful loving relationship. I am a grandmother and enjoying it immensely. I live with my BFF and we share a cabin together under the redwoods. As an artist letting go gives me space to create what ever I need to at that time. I suggest to all of you who read this..when you feel exhausted in your present relationships, it’s time to just “let go”
Listen to that voice inside you and just “let go” and refuel yourself!
Robyn,
Call me. Anybody call me.

Just reading the blogs, I’m laughing my you know what off (don’t want to say a bad word)
I’m trying to find a link to purchase your book…From reading blogs and things, seems like I’m the only woman left that hasn’t read the book
Hi Dear Ilene,
I still have fond memories of our day in NYC with the “real” Stanley and that was the day I found out he existed for real!!!
Poor Stanley and poor David my husband…….I love the comment lust vs love!
I love all your comments……I have a headache……for a YEAR!!!
You are my inspiration and my hero Gingy! So blessed that I had the opportunity to play the part of Gingy and then to meet you in person was a wonderful blessing!
Keep those blogs coming and make me laugh…..I mean laugh out loud!
Love to Stanley!!
Xoxo Holly
Love this…thanks always for your honesty and humor…LOVE YOUR PERSPECTIVE!
I love this! A comical but honest read.
Great! Keep ’em coming!
Macheis
Nancy,
I’m so sorry. I think the tablet or whatever they call it calls
for certain information, not me. I’ll try to find out what’s what.
I appreciate your comment. Thank you.
What! I just wrote a lengthy funny incident and your site wiped it off, with a “you need a proper email address”. It was there…darn. So now will just say not for publication that I love, adore, your humor and it absolutely made my day. Thanks. Next time, hope this site lets me correct things without removing all of it.
Gingy,
I haven’t been fooled yet today but there’s still time.
When I Went on line earlier there was a mother who had dipped an onion into Carmel and rolled it to nuts and then gave them to her three boys. They were licking them and then one bit into it and said yuck and then she yelled out April Fools.
I guess some folks get into being foolish with their love ones & have a special day to do it.
I was always the one who got fooled.
Glad you have another blog and if you dare be foolish with your man today!
I know you can think of something!
Friends always,
Arlyne
TooToo funny. You never stop.
Please don’t ever stop.
Love ya.
Dear Ilene,
I love this. You have not lost your touch!
Sheila, I don’t do anything with married men. xo
Liz, Even if we gave them a magnifying glass they wouldn’t find a clue. xo
Linda, Tell your husband he’s a lucky man. Long live the soul of Bette. xo
Everybody–your stories, your comments keep me going. Thanks. xo
I know EVERYTHING about him, but he doesn’t have a clue about me.
NAILED it!
Every morning my wonderful husband turns to me and says “I’m sorry it’ll never happen again!” I am at a loss for what to say to him. Do I say get up we have to have breakfast or do we talk or act upon love or lust? What would Gingi do?
Your comments with the pictures are hilarious, Gingy. I read them to my husband, and he said, “Do women really say these things?” Obviously, I don’t.
Here’s the classic rejection line by Bette Davis from the movie CABIN IN THE COTTON:
“I’d kiss you, but I just washed my hair.” –
Wow Gingy,
You really tell it like it is. Love it, really sums it up.
Gingy,
Thanx for that warm & fuzzy compliment.
Even though I read Charlottes Web to my kindergarten students and learned of the benefits of spiders. I still cringe when I pick up a paper or see one crawling in my living space. So you said you need your man to open a jar of pickles well I need my spider-man to switch the spider from inside to outside. He understands my phobias and I understand his. One of the things I love about him.
Love ya,
Arlyne
Since I have been widowed twice and then had a relationship end in death, I have all the memories of love, lust, almost lust and then seeing 3 men grow old before my eyes. I am now very happy to be my own person, enjoy the friendship of my women friends, who are more lively than most of the men of our age. I make all my own decisions and travel where and when I wish. I enjoy my family without any man feeling neglected. Old age has its rewards! Keep up your blog.
So right on! Gingy, your illustrations are priceless.I love them.
I am howling! Grinning like an idiot!!! “What do genital warts look like?” As a wild child in the 70s I’m always so afraid of what could show up on my exams. Especially now with all the TV commercials scaring us; “If you were born before there was a color TV in your house, you could have Jinaopen Virus still malingering in your private area.” When I go to the gynecologist I have to demand tests. They assume that because I’ve been on this marriage for 32 years and I look sweet and pure I couldn’t possibly have “Jinaopen Virus” flaring up it’s nasty head. Also, “it’s not your birthday!” Ha! I once had a canister of whipped cream in the refrigerator. I am definitely not a cook and there was no pumpkin pie in our house so my husband got his hopes up. I laughed after watching his face as I dispensed it into the open mouths of the kids at a New Years Eve party. When I prodded he said, “I was riding on a roller coaster of emotions.” Now I take the purchase of whipped cream much more seriously. I love the guy and now I’m going to go look at our wedding (and honeymoon) photos. Thanks again Gingy — You rock!
Adorable, but then your writings always are.
My second husband and I joke about, Honey, does this make me look fat? He promised to never lie to me and I promised to never aske that question. The reason I will not ask that question is because he may answer” No that doesn’t make you look fat, you are fat” So far I have been able to stick to that rule, and for the most part, my diet.
I am waiting for the book…. A collection of your blogs will be fabulous!!!!
Seriously, though, the clean sheets. Let’s keep them clean for a day . . . at least? Please?
Your spirit, talents, and incredible charms touch me. Also, you are so blasted clever! I love your blog, and your you. Xox
Gingy,
Too funny..i needed that.
My partner Doug is 10 years younger than me. He being 55 & I am 65. We have known each other since 09 when we met in Oregon. I am from the east coast and he is from west coast. Our lives would never have met unless I moved out to Oregon. Now we live closer to my daughter and her family in N. California. He is a computer Traffic Engineer geek& worm compost farmer and I am a seasonal Artist & worm compost farmer also.
Love is what you make it to be but we focus on:loving, respect, compassion, patience, not keeping score, compliments, laughter, hiking, & we share the same faith & same likes.
We are on the same Team.
We make time to hug everyday. Either he initiates it or I. But we do it. Our day isn’t complete without taking time away from our projects to take time for us.
When we watch a movie we cuddle and hold hands.
I would say he is more romantic than I. He finds flowers on our hike and points them out for me…instead of buying them. He loves my smile and my Art. Little things that mean so much and are romantic and simple.
He is my soul mate and I his.
It’s a real gift to have someone you live with be compassionate when you need them the most.
Just a little glimpse into what we do to keep the light in our life.
Friends forever,
Arlyne
