Tina my favorite manicurist
at QQ Nails not the best
nail parlor but it is
across the street Tina who
discusses colors and other things
said today that she wanted
to tell me about her husband.
They live in Flushing where she
has a monthly two hour massage.
She wrote down the name of the place
so I can go. Tina said her husband
he is Number 2 she doesn’t
want to say anything about Number 1
Number 2 drives a car
three days a week and is a very
good cook. Thanksgiving he made
his version of a holiday meal. Delicious
Chinese food she said.
They met 15 years ago at a restaurant
in Flushing both eating alone.
They married in a month.
Tina has a daughter from Number 1
who married a Korean man and they have
two daughters. All in Korea. In January 2025
they’ll all come to visit. Tina invited
me to meet everyone in January 2025.
My husband will cook for us all she said.
Sounds like a feast!
Because I have problems with my knee, I go every 3 months to for a pedicure with Olga. We talk about life and her growing daughter. When the Russia-Ukraine war started I realized I didn't know whether she was from Russia or Ukraine. So I asked her. She said she's from Belarus. I said they're allied with Putin, and she said she doesn't get involved. One of the few Hamas rockets that hit Tel Aviv landed on the corner near their store. The front windows were shattered and they had to replace them. Only when she told me did I notice the change. Typical male blindness. But I don't know if she has a #1 or #2. Should I ask her?
