THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN
Well there are, of course, the obvious differences between chicks and dudes, like "outsies" and "insies". But tastes can vary in simple things like.... oh say, home decorating!
Today, we DID go back to that furniture store (at my urging) and got our money back on the dining room set we originally paid for and haven't got yet. She was unwilling to do so when talking to hubby, but then I spoke up and stated my case. After that, she promptly refunded us. **grins** I was nice, just in case you're wondering.
Then, we went back to the store where we had found what we wanted, and paid for a new set. There were two separate tables we had it narrowed down to. Hubby didn't choose the one I liked best. They are both nice, and both will look excellent in our home. But our differences in taste showed, heh heh. Then..... we could choose between 4 different types of chairs! And you guessed it..... LOL! (he's paying for all this so he gets to choose, I was only there because he didn't want to get anything I hated.... and in all fairness the stuff he choose is fine, really I like them too. The only thing about the chairs he chose, is that the upholstered seats are white, yes you read that right... WHITE. So I will recover them in something else, no problem.
Anyway we are picking them up Friday, I'll post pics soon as everything is set up!
Some funnies regarding men and women:
Marriage - The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home
and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife
to wake him at 5:00 am for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he
wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 am" He left it
where he knew she would find it.
The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM
and he had missed his flight.
Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him,
when he noticed a piece of paper
by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
(Women are more stubborn than men....)
ONE WISH:
A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer.
Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish."
The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want.
"The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. Of course I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that would honor and glorify me."
The man thought about it for a long time.
Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand women.
I want to know how they feel inside, what they're thinking when they give men the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say "nothing's wrong," and how I can make a woman truly happy."
The Lord replied, "Do you want two or four lanes on that bridge?"
Well guys have yourselves a great Monday, and take good care of each other! VIVA LA DIFFERANCE!
PEACE!
