IVY WROTE: I’d get attention from guys in their 20s and tell them, “Look, I’m not interested in adopting.”

TRAYCIE WROTE: My mom was (and still is) petite. We wore the same size when I was in high school in the early 1980’s.

Yes, the men paying attention are my age or older, but that’s as it should be, and fine with me!
