Stop telling Vic to smile!!!

Some of us have faces that look frowny when they're actually just relaxed or neutral. I can put an enormous effort into smiling and it hardly looks like anything, but it uses so much energy I can't hold it for long.

I get really sick and tired of people telling me to smile, and I bet Vic does too.

I can't say that I am sick and tired or really irritated by it, but I get that bit from time to time as well.
My absolutely A-OK, neutral, normal facial expression is taken by some as being one of sadness. And a few that care try to cheer me up...which usually results in me raising my eyebrows, but nothing approaching what they would consider a smile...LOL.
It's just the face that God gave me.

A farmer brings his dog to the vet for a checkup. He puts the dog on the exam table. The vet checks the dog and tells the farmer that the dog is dead. The farmer says naw can't be dead. So the vet checks again. He tells the farmer that the dog is dead. The farmer says that it can't be dead. And that the dog is a real deep sleeper. The vet says ok. I have one more test. He goes in the back and brings out a cat. He rubs the cat all over the dog and nothing happens. The farmer then says dang the dog is really dead. Now what do I owe you. The vet says $525.00. $525.00 DALLORS!! exclaims the farmer. Please explain why it is so much. The vet says. $25 dollars for the office visit and $500.00 for the CAT Scan.

I was only telling Vic to smile (or suggesting that he smile) because
he was taking a photo. It's common to suggest that someone smile when
a photo is being taken. And you don't have to make a huge effort. Just
smile enough so that the corners of your mouth are higher than the
middle. You also don't have to hold it "for long." Only for a few
seconds.

Yeah, I can understand that, giving a bit of a smile for the few moments it takes for a photo. I usually do it under those circumstances, but just a little bit.

A few years ago, I had a stalker....
I know your mama.
May/December romances are cute, but...........when she told me she was 18 and I was approaching 60...............
I had to cut it short. She wanted that kind of affair, I could not take advantage.

REALLY cute young kid. She wanted me soooooooooooooooooo bad.
Hard to turn down, but I had to....... Lori and all.
Turn the tables on this song, and that is what it was.
BTW.//// She and I still have comms, she has a real BF now, and thanks me for turning her around and not taking advantage of her spirit at the time.

There's another version of that story where, in addition to the "Cat Scan", the Vet brings in a Yellow (or Chocolate) Labrador Retriever to sniff the carcass. That adds another $200 for "Lab Work".

I say this, what do I have to smile about? I'm depressed, right now I feel ok, sometimes I feel so bad, I almost can't stand, let alone walk. Yesterday a towel bar mount came out of the wall in the small bathroom, so there is something else to fix.

You missed (or ignored) the article I posted about smiling
when you're depressed. It makes you feel better. It's true.
I've tried it myself.
