Falling for Shirley

I happened upon The Drew Carey show last night. I like it but I don’t watch a lot of network TV these days. Apparently I’ve missed a story line where Shirley Jones has played his sometimes senior citizen squeeze Celia.

It moved me. I mean it *really moved me.

I suppose that as the freakish confessions on SDMB go, it’s no big deal to be attracted to a woman seven years older than my mom. Yeesh! I admit it, I’ve had a wicked bad crush on Shirley since the first time I saw her as Jenny, the whore with a heart of gold, in The Cheyenne Social Club. There may be snow on the roof (which I have never found to be unattractive) but she’s still a cute little bundle of fabulous babitude. I suppose the only thing that makes me weird among the dopers is that I never gave her a second thought on The Partridge Family.

I’ll admit, I thought she was a hottie in Oklahoma! but if you’d heard her sing at our Christmas concert last year, you may be thinking differently. Her time has definitely past (as far as her singing goes, anyway). So, if you meet up with her and hit it off, just make sure she doesn’t sing around you. :smiley:

I thought we were in for a new idyll, with Ms. Ujest no less.

Hell, I thought someone had a crush on me…
