My oldest went to the hospital with me. We went to the cafeteria and they had nice turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. When we got back to my husband’s room my Step-daughter and her husband came in to visit. They had stopped at our house and dropped off a turkey, mashed potatoes, and mini corn muffins. So sweet of them. ---

Yee haw. Has that line ever worked? So I finally made a move. He said something about a challenge, and also that he wasn’t a whore. I think he meant he doesn’t just take any opportunity to sex a woman, something I’ve never encountered before, so thats a good thing. ---

Sorry… [Here’s the fixed link.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg2rrMwfgB0) It didn’t work because of the space between the first two w’s. Without that space, it might have worked, or it might have run afoul of Discourse’s glitchiness with posting YouTube links, as discussed in [this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-links-to-youtube-been-disabled/981958). @Mundane_Super_Hero’s link was to just the audio, but if you want the video, it’s here: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/SnArJNkqAt0/maxresdefault.jpg "David Lee Roth - Just a Gigolo ( I Ain't Got Nobody ) ( Official Music Video ) 60FPS") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnArJNkqAt0) ---

Ironically, my parents – both born before 1930 – had that album. David reminded them of Louis Prima. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CodmlmxpZeQ/hqdefault.jpg "Louis Prima - Just a Gigolo & I Ain't Go Nobody") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CodmlmxpZeQ) ---

Indeed, he seems to be the sort of guy who needs to be attracted to/have feelings for someone before sex happens. You’ve never met a man like that? ---

> [@SuntanLotion](#): > > A unicorn. [What Is Unicorn Polyamory?](https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-unicorn-polyamory-5215473#:~:text=While%20the%20word%20unicorn%20can,dragon%22%20rather%20than%20a%20unicorn). “While the word unicorn can technically be for a person of any gender, they are usually a woman, or occasionally a nonbinary person. When a man wants to join an existing couple, they may refer to themself as a “dragon” rather than a unicorn.” I always thought that they were the horses of fantasy that young virgin princesses rode from castle to castle.

Well, hubster is still in the hospital. They want to send him to Mary Free Bed rehabilitation hospital when he is medically ready. I anticipate a huge fight with his Medicare Advantage plan. He was supposed to go to inpatient rehab before and the insurance company would only pay for a dumpy nursing home that we had him out of in one night. Long story, but it was bad. I’d love to see him go to this place it is the best in the state maybe one of the best in the country. ---

Good luck! Is it out of network? If you have a BCBS plan that may be to your advantage as it appears that’s their preferred insurance provider. Also they have many satellite facilities through out the state that provide care but there may be just one rehab hospital.
