**Larry Mudd** , Yes, I showed them to her. She appreciated my honesty but took a dim view of my former trainee’s explanation (“I just thought you might be interested in my photography”). I used to receive an occasional e-mail from her after that detailing her extra marital exploits (“My husband’s in jail and I get horny so… why not?”). In the interest of disclosure I’d tell my wife I’d received another e-mail, she’d want to read it, read it, then get angry at the contents (not angry at me, at my former trainee). Thankfully I haven’t received any e-mails from her for years now. ---

My man’s in jail and me so horny, why not? In my pants is a tail and me so horny, why not? He’s doing a nickel, so slip me a pickel, I’m hot. Till he’s up for parole, I’m all for a roll, why not? ---

Yep, I received some nude photos from an ex once. In her case, I don’t think it’s A, B or C, since we parted on very good terms and she happens to be a fairly well-adjusted polyamorous exhibitionist. For her, it was just sharing with a friend. She also creates some rather erotic artwork, which she then sends as postcards. I show them to my wife, mainly because there’s nothing going on between me and the ex and so there’s nothing to hide from my wife, but also because if I were to hide them, my hiding them would be far more suspicious than a bunch of postcards of naked Minoan bull dancers would ever be. My wife’s main reaction nowadays is just to roll her eyes and ask how ex is doing. ---

Um, when you said “erratic”, did you mean eccentric, or crazier than an outhouse rat? ---

Didn’t faint. In case you ain’t keeping up, today was my birthday. I am rather inebriated right now. I promise to check the pics first thing tomorrow. That I got through this post with no apparent spelling errors is startling. Besides, you DON’T want me rating women after a case (+5) of the Lager. ---

Arachnidlove, female? In which case I need to see whether you have more of a right than Larry’s ex to do such a thing _gestures to email button_. Larry, I will offer analysis when I am fit to do so. Which is not now. ---

Hah-- Happy birthday, **Happy Scrappy Hero Pup**! (It’s still on, this far west.) Dear god, I hope you don’t have anything like a hangover in the morning. Given the choice of having a buzz on when looking at dubious nekkid pics, or waiting until the morning after… I don’t know if you made the right call, there. **Guin** , the prevailing conditions were mildly eccentric, with periods of “crazier than an outhouse rat.” (That is _not_ intended as an obliquely asinine PMS dig, if you’re wondering.) > [@](#): > > **Happy Lendervedder** : Please tell me you’re at least under 50.

Oh, and as to the OP … me thinks this lady Does like you, and Does wish you two could be a relationship, and Does think there are too many things in the way, right now … and were it me … I’d make happly friend chatty phone calls to her for a couple weeks, about how’s new job going, how’s new place coming … then in a couple-three weeks or so, I’d sorta ask her if she’d mind if I invited myself to come see her new place … for a weekend … gonna sleep on the couch and all … love to see her new school and tour around a bit, for a weekend … and I’d make it sound So Much like friends … and stuff, that it would just seem like the most obvious thing in the world to say, “Sure, come on down” … and go! ---
