Two all summer unsung stalwarts

Wrong! All men are 100% totally honest and up front about everything! Women have the patent on deceipt, treachery, and manipulation. Right, guys?

guys? . . . . . . .

Don't you mean deceit? Hmmmm?

100% guaranteed, and Guy has a receit.

I don't think secrets are the point anyway; seems more an issue of willpower, eh lyrics? Not much more to be said there.

What curiosity does...

Moi? Veelpower? I think that's asking a bit much don't you? Besides he was terrible at hiding it and how could I ignore these books staring me in the face from the back of the top shelf of the office book case? I think this is a clear cut case of entrapment - which just goes to prove my point.

Nice cat - you gonna keep him like that?

Entrapment, enschrapment! You snooped, then you hid the fact! I bet you can't stop giggling whenever you see him peek to make sure the book hasn't been disturbed. Maybe that book was meant for his boss, or his mom! Boy, then you're gonna have some explaining to do for getting cookie crumbs all over the pages!
Xs are sneaky and deceipppptful!!!
So there!
Aaarrrggghhhhh!

Sneaky yes - I freely admit it. Dece-i-t-ful - nope not me. Nahhh, I know the books are for me - I have to give him a list to keep from getting strange gifts that no X would really want year after year. Gift giving - now there's a subject. I got a nice all steel garden fork for my BD - which I'd been asking for for 2 years straight. He simply could not believe he should give his wife a garden fork. I'm a woman of simple wants. A few years ago I requested and received a gas powered hedge trimmer for Christmas. I have pictures - I look so cute in my BD hat with my fork. Although its hard to scream with delight over a garden implement. A trip to London - now that would delete the comment about simple wants. See it's either - or. Either get me a garden fork and I'll think of you each day, or take me to London and lets go have a good time and forget weeding. I think this is perfectly reasonable and easy to understand.

Well, I gotta admit, shopping for an X is a scary proposition. You girls are natural-born shoppers, while we Ys are anything but. However, I once heard a good analysis on that: A man will buy what he needs, whether it's on sale or not; a woman will buy what's on sale, whether she needs it or not!

PS: OK, so let's see the pic of you with the fork . . . with the incredulous look on the face of DH in the background!

Guy- I'm not posting those pictures~! I look terrible and anyway my kids made me cry and my face is all puffy and red - matches the birthday hat. I did not cry over the fork BTW. I must be the odd woman out because I finally learned my lesson about buying things on sale - you have to need them first. I did need the 3 mini greenhouses I just nabbed at the local garden center for $7 each (retail $40!!!) 2 for my seed starting over the winter and 1 for a Christmas present - Bro in Law is growing American Chestnut from seed and everything else he can lay his hands on.
