Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

QQQ

"I am not a wifey."


 Seen printed on the back of a seriously cute and fit 40-something gal's top in the gym this morning. From a couple of chats, I know she is a wife but she is nobody's drudge for sure. She lifts, too.


I sometimes like to wear my Hugh Laurie House t-shirt to the gym. It says "Everybody Lies." Gets a giggle, and I like to be a friendly presence in the gym.


Usually, I just use black or grey Adidas sweat-removing exercise ts. V-neck because I hate feeling strangled. I do not wear guinea-ts, aka wife-beaters. 


Worked out early with my NYC daughter this morning. Golly, my kids are so high-energy and amusing. Lucky me. 


I'm waiting to see a guy with a Viagra Rules t-shirt.

I'm a hubby and strangely (considering the way the world seems to be going) happy to be. I'm simply unaware of why "wifey" should be so terrible. I do admit I haven't heard it before so maybe some mean nasty right wing "MAN" used it pejoratively so therefore everyone must suffer.

I am happy that people say things like this either out loud or in print. It is like excessive tattoos and blue/pink hair it shouts "I'M CRAZY". Thank you for that I will ignore you. Just saying...

I know a lesbian who continually refers to her partner as "Wifey", and almost never by her given name. I would love to ask her what she thinks of men who use that term, but I know she'd kill me.

The motto on my favorite workout T-shirt - "No one ever drowned in sweat."

Are plain white crew neck undershirts ok for the gym? I sometimes do this when I go after work to conserve laundry. I don’t need or care to impress anyone but also don’t want to look like a total slob.
