Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Aha, I see you aren't the only tease in the community condo. You two had it going kinda hot and heavy with the innuendos and double meaning remarks to each other. Sounded like a lot of fun.
However, I wouldn't trust her kind as she was just a flirt and wait a minute, I don't know if I trust your kind either. Hahaha.
Great fiction write and how the heck did I miss this? This one is awesome, Terry.
Your humor is fantastic and looks like you wrote a match to your sense of humor and did it quite nicely. Great job.
I wish I had a six this time for sure. Loved it, my friend.
Love, Debi

Comment from GWHARGIS
I think Hank was potentially biting off more than he could chew. I loved the explanation of the needs merit. That's a real business woman there. Will this new arrangement benefit her. Fun story and love that you left it open ended. There could always be a follow up. Gretchen

Hey there Terry.
Great post. I certainly enjoyed the back and forth innuendos between these two. You had me laughing from start to finish.
Good to read your humor again.

Comment from humpwhistle
Lordy, this is an innuendo smorgasbord! Right up my alley. Smart give and take. And most every line is loaded. This could have been a killer all-dialogue story. I like it!
Might this be better? "Hank, you hardly know me . . . perhaps you shouldn't gamble yet."
Peace, Lee

Lee, thank you for the outstanding review and six stars. Your suggestion is interesting. What I was going for was that he had just said he would bet all the guys were single. She says he shouldn't gamble—she already knew the answer. And ole Hank would lose.
But I can see how it might work either way.
-
I think I understood the 'bet' thing. I thought it might be better if she offered Hank a little erotic warning, a la Mae West. 'You hardly know me ..."
To me, that gives her the upper hand.
Just a thought.
By the way, Linda thinks you're cute. I showed her one of your 'Guitar Lessons.' Linda's cool.
-
I like the Mae West thing.
-
Dang, and l understand Linda is happily married.
-
Happily, yes. Married, no. Kids today! What're gonna do?
Linda happily cohabitates with a fine fellow--and I know because I had to listen to them treacling through the phone for four days. Gave me goosebumps--and not the good kind, either!

Comment from Mrs. KT
And I'm blushing once again, Mr. Broxson!
I love all the innuendos and double meanings in your humorous offering.
And your final line made me laugh aloud!
Thank you for the smiles and laughter this snowy Monday morning!
And let me know how "Molly's" services are welcomed! :)
Much enjoyed!
fondly,
Big Dog!

I would truly like to see the Big Dog blushing! LOL, thank you for the six stars. I've never known anyone named Molly, but I'll keep an eye peeled for her! Terry.
Comment from LJbutterfly
I like the idea of a retirement condo community happy hour. No need to travel to a bar. Just go down to the lobby. I'm still not sure what Molly's job was that only involved single men and an occasional woman. At first I thought she was a house cleaner who assessed how much work had to be done? Joking. Great humorous story.

Comment from Karen Cherry
If that's the case, maybe I could afford a older community :-) Honestly though, I don't have any urge to get naked in front a new man again. The bloom is completely off the rose on that. I have some good memories, but, no thanks. Good luck to you though. Karen

LOL, Karen, thanks for reading. You did see that it was fiction, right? Terry.
-
Yes dear, I know it wasn't a real encounter. I was saying I wouldn't want one myself. Karen
-
I know you write a lot of very good humorous stories and poems, and you know some truth helps the humor. But with this one, several seemed to think it was real.
-
I did not think it was real. It was way to clean. :-)
-
LOL!
-
Have you read "Loreli ? That had some hot stuff and a great picture. Karen
-
Is Loreli one of yours? I didn't see it in your portfolio.
Comment from Harambe iz ur Daddy
Clever and loaded with veiled entendre. This ought to get a smile out of the retirees here. I know a bunch of dirty old men who would always ask questions like this, haha. Some are a little less subtle. Yours were subtle enough.
Some minor typos I spotted:
If I had attended one earlier, I may have been better prepared. <= I'd go with: MIGHT have
Mostly, It's about achieving happiness <= "it's" should be lowercase
As soon as I had said it. <= this should be a comma
How about you, retired or working girl. <= should be a question mark
Thanks for the read!

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
I really enjoyed your story! The back and forth between Molly and Hank was fun to read. Molly's confidence made her such a strong character. IT was also funny. Especially the "crop picker" moment - that had me laughing! Your story felt natural and full of personality. Great job!
