Just out of curiosity... aren't you like an hour ahead of me...??? What are you doing up so late...????

Sleep is overrated. I will get all the sleep I need when I die. Sleep is for the weak. PMS gives me superhuman strength. I can sleep in until 7:00 instead of 5:00 am tomorrow morning.

Ummmm...who the hell knows.

WOMEN AND MEN



WOMEN

Women have strengths that amaze men.

They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.

Women wait by the phone for a "safe at home call" from a friend after a snowy drive home.

Women have special qualities about them.

They volunteer for good causes.

They are pink ladies in hospitals, they bring food to shut ins.

They are child care workers, executives, attorneys, stay-at-home moms, biker babes and your neighbors.

They wear suits, jeans, and they wear uniforms.

They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up for injustice.

They are in the front row at PTA meetings.

They vote for the person that will do the best job for family issues.

They walk and talk the extra mile to get their children in the Right school and for getting their family the right health care.

They write to the editor, their congressmen and to the "powers that be" for things that make for a better life.

They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.

They do without new shoes so their children can have them.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

Women are honest, loyal, and forgiving.

They are smart, knowing that knowledge is power.

But they still know how to use their softer side to make a point.

Women want to be the best for their family, their friends, and themselves.

They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.

A woman's touch can cure any ailment.

They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.

She can make a romantic evening unforgettable.

Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.

They live in homes, apartments and cabins.

They drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!

Women do more than just give birth.

They bring joy and hope.

They give compassion and ideals.

They give moral support to their family and friends.

And all they want back is a hug, a smile and for you to do the same to people you come in contact with.



MEN

Men are good at lifting heavy stuff.

Robby,

Good morning. I am cleaning, making my kids clean (which I will say they did an awesome job cleaning their bedrooms and their bathroom), balancing my checkbook (depressing task to say the least), then I am going grocery shopping, and then going swimming with the kids at my parent's house.

'Bout you?

Need a lifeguard?

Can you go along with W????

I feel like you are being punished somewhat. A lot of activities that don't include you.

Robby, I am sorry.

Do you live in Tampa. They do have a HUGE pool. You could hop on a float and just chill.

My computer wasn't working last night so I couldn't join in on this funfest. I just have to say one thing. As wonderful as DipiT is, I KNOW I'm at least as good looking as a salamander. So now I know with my charm and wit, along with my salamander good looks, if I decide to dump H I'll have loads of men after me. OK, maybe they will all look like frogs, but what the heck? On second thought, if I dump H I think I'll just be my little old salamander self for a long while, ALONE! CV

SD, I've been wondering where you have been lurking. Now I know it has been under some mossy rock. Hopefully near a beautiful pond in the forest, and not in the abyss somewhere. Aren't I the most positive little salamander you've ever come across? I need to get my Black Mamba self in gear again. I did throw a little zinger H's way last night. When I got home yesterday, before H and I went to dinner, I made the mistake of chugging 2 glasses of vino. Now I know I have reported this behavior in the past, but I swear I'm not ready to go to the Betty Ford Clinic yet. So we went out to dinner and I was a bit loaded. When we got home I slept for 2 hrs. Later, when I was alive again, H made some joke about how exciting we both are. So I immediately said, "See, you should have dumped me when you had the chance. Just think, you could be hanging out with OW right now at her local bar!"

Yes, this was a minor zinger, but H did lol. I swear I am still trying to push that man into OW's arms. I might need to start a thread again so you will come out of hiding and talk me down!

OK, I'm going to slither under my rock now. CV

Fla Man, so... half hour from Tampa. That equals, what, Plant City or Seffner or something. Or St. Pete/Clwtr. Or Apollo Beach. Or Brooksville/Spring Hill.
