Believe it or not, my wife used to take me clothes shopping with her because, she said, I had better taste than she did!

Hoo boy, I never starved....

You are a master of gender-specific language, Judy. I haven't laughed so hard in days.

Thanks for the happy...I needed it.

Michele. M&G. It's good to be reading you again. I'm heads down with writing, so I haven't had a whole lot of time to read recently.

Come on Judy, we ain't that bad. Can I help with dinner generally means I want to have something eatable.

Here from Michele this time.
The one about the roses. Sometimes they bring roses or send roses when they are grandstanding and have done something really really stupid. I got flowers, a dozen red roses from my ex the day before the divorce hearing. First time ever he sent me roses in 13 years. Go figure. Wonder how many times the girlfriend got them?

That was a funny list....lol

utenzi said...

Michele sent me again, Judy. Lucky you! LOL

I think you got the men's and women's defiitions for thing mixed up, Judy. As in: it's a guy's thing. It should be:

"IT'S A GIRL THING" Means: "There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical."

Or at least that's how it always seems to me....
