eileenleyva That drama is a problem play. A woman in pursuit of a husband slight of hand in bed? Sounds ridiculous. And ends well? But the point being is taken. Yes, both men and women engage in such nonsensical ploys to achieve what they want. These days, it's money....

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (163489) • United States 7 Dec 21

Judy Evans @JudyEv (353597) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Dec 21

Back in the 1980s, we lived in a small country town. The house across the road was owned by a very eccentric character. He was nice enough but could be very cutting and quite unkind if he took a disliking to you. Luckily, we got...
