Endearing quirks? Sure, like obesity and unhealthy eating in midlife leading to certain premature death. Plus, he’s utterly self-absorbed. Those are just two things that come to mind, but there are dozens of other endearing quirks. At least he’s the youngest man on SilverDaters.com.
I just need to thank Mark, Mary, Cheryl, Deborah, Marilyn, John, Brian and Regina for the very kind and generous donations you made yesterday! Thank you so much for your endearing and enduring support. I’ve really been touched that so many of you have made these contributions over the last couple of days.
ReplyDelete"He's a great guy!"
"If he's so great, Mary, why aren't you interested in him?"
"Uh . . . er . . . um . . . oh boy, look at the time. Gotta run. Bye."

ReplyDelete"If You Have To Think About It That Hard...".
Time know. Great guy!
Doing...rushing. Wonder.
More earnest endearing.
You're welcome Wanders and no THANK YOU for making me laugh every morning.
ReplyDeleteOn to Wilbur: "He an earnest guy with a few endearing quirks. For example, he hid in the bushes and stalked his ex-girlfriend Iris after he broke up with her. He also wore a Speedo on a fictional beach in Bogota, he sometimes puts bread in between his mayonnaise sandwiches, he insists on having the few hairs left on top of his head in a bad combover, he writes a advice column under a woman's name, should I go on, Estelle?"
Oh brother, Mary's really playing up Wilbur. Why doesn't Mary see the Wilbur we all see: a smug, obnoxious, self absorbed boor who comes to a date in his slippers, brings WINE COOLERS and commadeers the remote to what HE wants to watch. "Great guy" my fat fanny. Like I said yesterday if I had a choice of being with Wilbur and being alone, being alone would be the better option. Ugh, I hate Wilbur.
Mary has to fix the Wilbur / Estelle relationship before Dr. Jeff meets Estelle. She doesn't want Jeff to have a choice between a buss on the cheek after 20 years, or getting invited over to Netflix and chill after one lunch date. Meddle faster, Mary!

ReplyDelete"He has a few endearing quirks. Like this one time I literally had to talk him down off the ledge. He was sitting on the edge of the cliff at Lookout Below Point dead drunk and ready to kill himself because the woman he dumped for some hot chiquita found someone else and wouldn't take him back after the hot chiquita dumped him. It was so endearing. And he's hilarious when he gets a few in him at the karaoke bar. Yeah, he's a great guy. "

Earnest Guy sounds like the name of a stuffy British author who writes frivolous novels about stuffy British guys.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, Guy Earnest, Mozambique Journalist, sounds like a guy who writes an advice column under the nom de plume of Dear Wanda.
What on Earth is Mary talking about?
ReplyDeleteWilbur is so cheap that he brought wine coolers because Dawn had left some in the fridge. He couldn't even be bothered to pick up something nice for Estelle. Then he makes her watch boxing. Although, I don't understand why she didn't say something.
Boy, Mary's doing a hard sell on behalf of Wilbur. I speculate that this has everything to do with her brazen attempt to wrestle away the advice column permanently. She hopes that the silver lovebirds (dodo birds is more accurate) will get so wrapped up in each other, she'll be able to move in for the column kill.
ReplyDeleteEndearing quirks? I assume Wilbur is a furry.
ReplyDeleteEstelle will do a few more days of thinking and fretting and boring Libby and then decide to whine about her boring date to whatever is the name of the advice column Wilbur writes. Wilbur, dim bulb that he is, will tell Estelle about the letter and that he is so lucky that Estelle appreciates wine coolers and boxing documentaries. Estelle will finally get upset, kick Wilbur out and Mary will solve everything with muffins and platitudes and then KitKat, she will take over the column.
ReplyDeleteAlso Wanders, you are welcome and thanks for this blog.
Make that ENDURING quirks. Wilbur is nothing if not consistently unbearable.
ReplyDeleteEstelle says, "I wonder about us." Is there really even an "us" to wonder about? They went for, what, one date before he left for Mozambique, then they barely talked while he was gone, then they had one "date," if you can call it that, when he got back. I could totally understand it if she said, "I wonder about him." We all wonder about him. Why is Mary pushing him so hard? Maybe she's worried that if Estelle is left alone, she'll find another scam artist and Mary will have to call in...what was her name? Terry? Mary hates having to call for backup. Cuts in on her meddling.
