can attest.<\/p>\n<p>I have a great sense of humor although it runs to the sarcastic.<br \/>\nIf you are that way too it would be a match made in heaven.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not picky about food.<br

my laundry needs are almost non-existent.<\/p>\n<p>An occasional hug or pat on the head is all I ask.<br \/>\nI change lightbulbs and other stuff.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t hang out in bars, go out, drink too much or look at dirty pictures on the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I fudged that last\u00a0item a bit.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a real catch.<br \/>\nThe one that got away, so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>Why

house.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like walking into a spice factory dialed up to a 100.<\/p>\n<p>The smell can be described as&#8230;heavy.<br \/>\nYou can cut it with a knife.<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea what it&#8217;s supposed to smell like, so stink is descriptive enough for now.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if she were to put these olfactory disasters in her bathroom that would be okay.<\/p>\n<p>But she put one in my bathroom.<br \/>\nI need a gas mask to go in there.<\/p>\n<p>The liquid in the bottle looks like it&#8217;s from a spittoon.<\/p>\n<p>The bathroom is the only place a guy can get away for a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to our sanity.<\/p>\n<p>Right now I have to sneak up, hold my nose and crack the door open a couple of inches.<\/p>\n<p>I reach around and flip the bathroom exhaust fan switch.<\/p>\n<p>Then close the door and go away for about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s usually okay except for those times one can&#8217;t wait.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s those antennas sticking up.<br \/>\nI suspect she&#8217;s listening in on my cell phone calls.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/grumpyseniors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sneakers.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

smell-good thingies around the house.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s my bathroom and it should have things that smell good to a man.<\/p>\n<p>Bacon, freshly cut grass, dirty sneakers, puppy dogs and pizza is a good start.<\/p>\n<p>Motor oil would be a plus.<\/p>\n<p>I spend time in there pondering stuff and I need to maintain a clear mind.<\/p>\n<p>The whole thing is just too weird.<\/p>\n<p>Someone take
