Started wearing a tiny bit of makeup.....the reaction from my son is princess

Locust Fork

I went with my middle child to get our toes done. It’s a yearly event when the sandals come out. While we were waiting our turn we popped over to the department store to look around. The sales lady asked if we needed help and I asked Karen if she needed any makeup while we were there. (She adores playing with makeup.). She said I should get something and she couldn’t remember the last time she saw me wearing anything.


I declined letting them come at my face with every product on the counters.....but said I WOULD buy an eyeliner and mascara....nothing jet black or crazy colors, just something to get a little definition going. I promised Karen I’d get back in the habit of “getting ready” and I have. It’s amazing how fast people notice such a little change. A couple double takes...and a mention that I looked nice from Larry was all that happened.


And then my son showed up.....


I was taking a pile of boxes to the burn area in our field and he stopped....looked....and stared. He started to say something and stopped himself. It was like I had gone and gotten a neck tattoo. Later, after I washed my face, he said....”there are wipes you use to get that off”. I told him next time he is buying them to get me some too. He just smiled back.

    Makeup or not, just come to central Florida and pick up my guns. I'm tired of selling for myself. You have a loyal following, including California, where many sellers won't ship. I sent my FFL and SOT to you via PM. I hope that you received them.

    Saw the topic and missed the member name and thought "why is some dude telling us about wearing make up and why would I care .....?" until I realized.

    I've been in San Francisco waaaaaay too long.

    I’ll wear a little blush if the situation calls for it.

    What situation might that be?

    Yes, its just an open spot where the grass and such have been burned away that is large enough to pile the huge piles of shipping boxes that we deal with every week. I burn most of them, keep some odd sizes that might be useful. We have a metal building that holds our actual shipping boxes that we use to send the guns out. I buy 5 pallets of boxes each year for my long guns and we order several bundles of the flat rate boxes for the pistols. Its too much to keep all of it in the house. I used to stack them up in the washroom and the loft of the barn.....but it eventually got to be too much to deal with, so we got ourselves a "box barn" (at least that is what we are calling it. Since I have all of the shipping boxes handled....we burn the ragged ones that we don't need.

    Totally get it. I guess I go from looking like a lumberjack to a passable female when I use mascara.

    Bet it would have been a great pic of his face.

    Anit smokers would most likely burn a barn down with cig add on it.

    TV beats all I have ever seen, smoking will give a show and R rating along with language, violence, nudity and sex.🤔
