DH was in the Navy, and I a young wife and mother when a guy showed up to see DH. I told him I expected DH fairly soon so he could come in and wait (my mistake). Then I walked past him to tend the baby and got patted on the butt. I whirled around and said "thats a good way to lose a friend!". He immediately left, and he never came back. To this day I wonder, did he think I would fall into bed with him after a pat on the butt?

The only other time I don't remember the first time I obviously told a guy to keep his hands off me. However the second time I remember well, we lived in a very small company town. We were at a dance with probably 1/2 the town in attendance as I sat there I felt someone lift the back of my shirt and jumped up and saw red at the grinning jackass, I literally yelled "---------,I told you once before to keep your hands off me!". He slunk off like the worm he was!

I hated your last avatar @Avon, but I hate this one even more! C'mon, try again! No more plug uglies, please!

I have had a number of people ask me to put this one back on Pepper as it made them smile, but never one ask me to take it off. Guess a person can please all the people all of the time, but not all the people all of the time or is it variety is the spice of life?

That better for you grumps.

I like the sea and sails. My family on my father's side owned and were masters of sailing ships that delivered goods across the pond and to Europe, mainly from Padstow in Cornwall going way back. Many a tale of shipwrecks and smugglers in the family history.

You are provoking us, aren't you, @Avon? :ROFLMAO: How can I communicate with you, looking at that?
 
We had major issues in the military for years when I first became an active Marine. As a 2nd Lt., I did investigate some complaints from our female recruits of sexual misbehavior. I remember in my first year, I had 22 complaints that I had to investigate. I think 5 or 6 did actually own up to their charges. The others were referred to the Platoon leaders and then we go on from there. If found guilty, the Marine could find himself in a lot of hot water, including losing stripes, brig time or worse.

I did sign off on a few Marines that were released for sexual misconduct. That becomes part of their permanent record. Over the years, the military has improved, but it could still be better.

Sadly, our military (Canadian) had some serious allegations of sexual abuse only recently! Including top brass! I was disgusted and embarrassed for our military because it appeared to be fairly widespread!

But it also makes me wonder about the wisdom of having mixed crews on ships at sea for long periods of time! The women may have achieved equality but at what cost to their dignity when some misguided, sex deprived sailor is making a move on them after three months at sea? I am not making excuses for something that should never happen but will always think that it was a terrible idea to add women to combat units. That's when equality becomes bizarre to me!

My word Della, that is more my type of posting, it is nearly as beautiful as me. Plus Salisbury Cathedral, immortalized on canvas by John Constable and well worth a read-up. I have a photo of me in my courting days on those very banks, taken over 60 years ago.
Salisbury Cathedral.

Love Salisbury Cathedral. So natural to its environment, it looks/feels like it grew straight from the earth, not built by humans but nurtured into being by the land itself. Had a lovely walk from Cathedral to Stonehenge, about 10 miles. I used to do stuff like that; walking long distances. Loved to walk; funny that I lost the thing I love to do the most.....disappear for hours, just walking, walking, walking

Salisbury Cathedral and Stonehenge were my first "must see" places during our years in England. Thomas Hardy! I was looking for the ghost of Tess of the D'Urbervilles lying on a stone. I had also read all the Susan Howatch novels set in "Starbridge" and Ken Follet. England had a lifetime of reading behind every scene.

Don't say that. All of them, so far, make me go even crazier than usual. I plead, I beg of you, Avon! Please give me something pretty! :ROFLMAO:

Ok Old Salt, just to get back on topic and keep you happy. There she goes just walking down the street singing do wa diddy and none of the guys are allowed to look or will look. Dream on woke, I for one will have a long look.
Last night's news, all ruddy women and petty alleged touching dramas, then looked at the newspaper, just the same. They sure know how to kill a cause.
I have to go out in the heat now with the chainsaw, regardless that I cannot walk or stand up. Ruddy Willow tree needs cutting up and they are strange beasts, and it could finish me off. Still, guess men are good for some things.
May kick a sweet thread off some time for other posts here

Yes, this was one bad man that should be punished, I agree.
But to lump all men that are managers as 'suspect' is wrong, and that is what this 'woke' is all about.
As a manager, I love to hire women and hated to hire women, for two different reasons.
1) I found that women are great as task/project management. Their attention to detail was always outstanding. They multi-task and can juggle projects equally and at the level needed, without dropping the ball.
2) I hated to hire women because a) You didn't know what baggage you were getting emotionally. b) You couldn't treat them as equals because there was always the chance of a disagreement turning into an HR encounter that is fabricated. And of course, HR would always agree with the women regardless of the circumstances. I have seen good men lose their careers over a power hungry woman wanting a higher position regardless of what moral ethics needed to be stepped on.
Thank God I am out of the workforce.

There was not one word in my reply that indicated that I was lumping all male managers into anything! My reply referred to the men who are guilty. In fact, I used the words "when the man"...not men and certainly not all men or all managers. I've seen other posts where you misinterpreted what was written. Since you replied directly to me, I'm assuming you are insinuating my reply "lumped" all managers into the category of abusers. If that is the case then that begs the question....Did you study reading comprehension in school?

One of my reputed porno pictures Pepper as bad as they get. Alas, some folk cannot tell sensual beauty from pornography.
Then for Bella and Yourself, I assume as close you both visited Winchester on the banks of another world-famous chalk river the Itchen, last home of Jane Austen.
Like yourself I much miss not being able to get out and visit these places and that includes the "Mayfly Inn" above Stockbridge. Shame also that being served in a restaurant is getting less common and a person is expected to queue and carry, even when it is expensive.
Our local Black Rabbit on the River Arun is the same, now they do not accept money even.

I used to sell adult material @Avon. Lingerie & toys, etc. Shared a business with my husband.

Oh my, you could have been a wealthy woman then, like "Ann Summers" below. Brighton of course caters to the ladies with such shops and of course, there is a shop for Gay Dogs called "Pride up your Woofer". The "Woke" group is kicking up and protesting, saying that humans should not own Cats or Dogs.
