Chris, I'm still LOL. I sold ladies' shoes for seven years, including Nordstrom. I don't pretend to understand women, in fact the opposite is my point. But it's fair to say I've had a good vantage point. Good enough to know my limitations.

Don perhaps I married the psycho hose beast, but here's a couple of stories:

A building inspector I work with says that when his wife goes out on the hormone roller coaster, if necessary, he says "Honey, it's not my fault you're a woman. I'm doing my job just as well today as yesterday, so whatever has changed is still not a reason to take it out on me. I love you." He says it always works. I say this remark will get you a cold stare as often as a warm hug.

Years ago when my buddy and I were both newly wed, to ladies who were friends, he called me and told me a story. The story was about a plan to meet his wife somewhere, and when he got there the place was closed. I do not remember the decision/solution he chose, but it seemed reasonable to me. He said his wife was pissed and wondered why. I could not help him but offered to see if my wife could shed light on it. Got home and told her the story. Just as I got to the end, she said "I bet Twila was pissed." Today, neither Larry nor I understand what happened. The two ladies seem to understand perfectly.
