(I know, this is rare) and he blurts out the first thing in his head without running it through the wash a few times. (ask me about Satan sometime)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I had already had a partial hysterectomy and it was a year later that the rest of the parts had to come out. I was feeling a little upset at this, and he said "well damn, you're just losing all your feminine parts." Somehow he survived that incident.<BR/><BR/>But he does love me and every so often he shows me in a mushy way. One anniversary we were supposed to not spend much but he dragged out this huge, very heavy box for me to open.(our son dancing around excited since he was in on it). <BR/><BR/>Inside wrapped in lots of protective bubble wrap (hence the excitement for our son) was a gorgeous wall sculpture from a local artist of a woman tenderly holding a man called "Touched by a Goddess". He said that was how he felt.<BR/><BR/>Can't stay mad at him to long when I look at that sculpture.RM Kahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09625754646053162088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-64887399666628419472009-02-24T23:51:00.000-06:002009-02-24T23:51:00.000-06:00Men.

The only one that sticks in my mind was when I was in my mid-twenties & at a bar listening to the band. A guy I'd seen there a couple times came over to me & said, "Nice legs. Do they go all the way up?" Yeah, I know, lame pick-up line but it was so corny I couldn't stop laughing. And he probably thought it was so clever.<BR/><BR/>Cheryl S.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677431572554533438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-23170238232510241022009-02-24T17:59:00.000-06:002009-02-24T17:59:00.000-06:00Hey Jo Anne!My birthday is tomorrow and I've been ...Hey Jo Anne!<BR/><BR/>My birthday is tomorrow and I've been telling Christie that Nina will give birth on the 25th.

Now we can have Grandma blogs, too.<BR/><BR/>I'm divorced, but I still have fond memories of really tacky and really romantic times. And I still love my ex - a WHOLE lot more since he moved 3 miles down the road. :-)<BR/><BR/>By the time Phil proposed, we'd talked about getting married for some time, so it was more of a 'when-we-can-find-time-to-plan-a-big-party,' thing. My mother was in town visiting and we were having lunch. Phil says "So, are we gettin' married or what?" Not to be outdown in the tacky department, I say, "On your knees, f***'r." To which he replies, "Not in this lifetime, sweetheart." By this time he and I were laughing so hard we were "spewing Dr. Pepper" as Christie would put it. My mother, of course, was appalled.<BR/><BR/>Plenty of sweet stuff in those years, too, though. One that stands out: Phil & I attended The Confederate Ball one year - a black tie, shee-shee affair. Very aristicratic and very southern - Scarlett could have learned a few tricks. Phil confiscated my dance card - and when I got it back, he'd filled in every dance with his name. He said it was the only way he knew to keep the most beautiful woman there in his arms all night.<BR/><BR/>We've been divorced since 1994, but I think I still have that dance card. :-)Jo Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03589108833892193841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-50148700733901038092009-02-24T17:12:00.000-06:002009-02-24T17:12:00.000-06:00Hi, Sandy,Aww, what a sweetie your hubby was.

I know there have been crazy times but I really can't come up with one right now (and that may be why we stay together, we focus on the fun/positive of each other).<BR/>My husband has done the laundry almost from the start of our relationship. Our sons were surprised when they went to friends' houses and their MOMS were doing the laundry; no gender roles at our house. Whenever I see a group of women standing around my husband, I know they're asking for help because he can get stains out of anything.<BR/><BR/>One of the sweetest things he ever did: the Valentine's Day before he 'officially' proposed, he gave me a card with three conversation hearts on it. "My baby" "later on" "say yes." I still have the candies on a piece of the card and every Valentine's Day, my sons have to listen to the story again :) They also used to be confused about why their dad brought flowers home with the groceries most weeks (he grocery shops, too!).
