are you sure it wasn't widowers chasing widows? there's plenty of
them!

Dunno really. It is what I thought you had said. Chasing them with
casseroles or something rings a bell?


The only one I know is at bridge who stands out as the only one
looking, hasn't brought her much happiness. i even asked her once
why, she said somehow she feels incomplete going to a party on her
own! one of these star men was even shoving her around and lucky for
her a person in the next condo heard and called police. That was a
wooden condo building, it's solid comcrete here!

Ewwwww((( She is off her trolley allowing herself to be
mistreated(
