Buggle up, hold on tight. We got it for you.
Here it is Strawberry Letter.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Thank you nephew, welcome back again. Subject why can't I
have the good stuff? Dear Stephen Shirley, I went on
a blind date with a man that my sister met
at her church. We had a good first date and
I agreed to go out with him for a second
date because I felt like I.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Could shape him into the perfect man for me.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
His wife died four years ago and he stopped dating
and looking for love after his last girlfriend cheated on him.
I couldn't believe how he hadn't changed a thing at
home since.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
His wife died.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
All he did was move all of his wife's clothing
and shoes into a guest room, and there was a
garbage bag filled with designer purses. He was passed out
drunk one night, and I went through the clothes, shoes,
and the bags. There were a couple of coats of
hers that I needed, and more than a few nice
dresses that were my size. Her feet were smaller than mine,
so I couldn't try on any of the shoes. It

(01:19):
took me two separate secret missions to go through the purses.
I've been asking him since then if I can help
him clean.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Out the house. He said that he would do it
if I moved in with him.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
I don't want to live with him because it's too soon,
but I do want those designer purses and fancy clothes.
I told him that I would think about moving in
just to see what he was going to say. He
got excited and said he would call a junk removal
service and get the house cleaned out. I told him
I wanted some of the purses, and he said they're
going to goodwill. He said he didn't want me to

(01:51):
have his deceased wife's bags. Is he crazy? Why can't
I have the good stuff? Why would he give it
to charity instead of me? Well, told you he doesn't
want you to have his late wife's things. He told
you that, Okay, obviously they have some sort of meaning
to him. I mean, I know it's been four years,
but good, bad or whatever, he has.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Other plans for them.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
He wants them out of the house, and when they're gone,
he doesn't want to see him again. In other words,
he's ready to move on with you, his new woman
in his late woman things. I guess he thinks it's
disrespectful or just a little too painful for him. I
know to you, you think it's a ways for him
to give away his perfectly good bags when you could

(02:34):
put them to perfectly good use. But just like you
can't change him or shape him up into the perfect
man for you, as you say, you can't make him
give you the bags and things, the clothes and all
of that. And why are you snooping through his late
wife's stuff anyway? I mean, isn't that kind of creepy
to you? What would you be doing if his wife's

(02:57):
things weren't there? You just be focused on what you're
building with this man, right, I just say do that
if that's what you want to do.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
If you want the man, get with him.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
He seems to be willing to get with you. But
he just doesn't want you going through his wife's things.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
And he has that right Steve Lord him.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
Here this doggone letter right here, I'm gonna just tell
you flat out four I started reading the letter.

Speaker 3 (03:18):

in this letter right here. It's so many things about you.

Speaker 3 (03:25):

this show because I'm not gonna help you. I'm gonna
hurt you because I don't like you, big and ass.
You're just sitting up in here. What are you doing
right here? You went on a blind day with a
man that your sister met at her church. You had
a good first date, you agreed to go out on
second date. I felt like I could shape him into
the perfect man for me. Hey, always trying to change somebody.

(03:51):
Now I know that women can come to the table
and upgrade a man's life. Hell, this happened to me,
and I appreciate you all for wanting to, But you
can't shape him into the perfect man for you. His
wife died four years ago. He stopped dating and looking
for love because his last girlfriend cheated on it. I
couldn't believe how he had to change the thing at
home since his wife died. All he did was move

(04:14):
his wife clothing shoes into his guest room, and there
was a garage bag filled with designer person Have you
ever thought maybe he loved a woman. Have you ever
thought maybe it's just a hard for him to let
go right now?

one night.

is used. Now, you in here and tried on Everything's
a few dresses that are and there's some coats of

(07:48):
hers that you need, and a few nice dresses that's
in your size. Her feet was smaller than mine, so
I couldn't try on any of the shoes. Oh yes

that it was smaller. You didn't just hold it up
and look at it. You tried to jam your big
ass foot down in this dead woman's shoes. I personally
