thanks tweetysweetie. ;)
it seems a little sexist, i guess, but my wife does enjoy banking and shopping, so it all works out, really.
women seem to fall into the role of handling the money with ease in most cultures, so i think we're just letting nature take it's course, in her way. works good for me!

i know what you mean. when i was a kid i used to just love getting on the' red rocket', (streetcar) and riding from one end of queen street to the other, just for fun! today, i can't handle big cities anymore. the energy in them just makes me crazy-('crazier', i should say..)

i'm really not looking forward to the olympic madness coming to vancouver, soon. we live on the island, some distance away from that nuthouse, but i'm sure we'll get plenty of spill-over from it.

love

Yeah LightLizard, seems that the women handle the finances as well as other things and it makes sense since we do the grocery shopping and all....I also do the taxes every year since we prefer not to go to Block and they take out their fees from our refund so our refund is cut in half because every piece of paper they use costs $50 US and then their profits.....no joke on that.......then we hardly get the refund that is our's.....lol......

Now my husband has direct deposit on his disability checks.....I have to sign my paychecks and put them in the bank....

I would rather shop since I need to read labels and my husband may forget to do that and buy the wrong things.....I mean sodium and potassium and all that good stuff.....

You call it Red Rocket there, we call it the CTA here or the EL......

I pray like crazy that the next Olympics don't come here, let them go to an European country that needs publicity....lol......

What does not make sense is the city workers here do not make enough money to pay their bills and yet the mayor wants to bid high on the games.....he needs to think of his people first but he is not that way.....he is one of the worst mayors we have had in history.......

to be honest, i have to say that i can shop, but for some reason, whenever i go into a supermarket, i go into a kind of trance-panic. it seems that all the colors, shapes and different products on the shelves just overload my senses to a degree of madness and i totally forget what i'm looking for! it sounds like an excuse, i know, but it really does happen to me. sometimes, my wife thinks i'm just making it up to avoid the task, but it really does boggle my senses and puts my nerves on the high end of pain!
i don't know if this is common in men, or what, but it sure does a number on me!
maybe it has something to do with the lighting, i don't know. but, it has gotten worse since i've aged, it seems.


o well. thank the great pumpkin for wives and their love of shopping! otherwise, i'd be one hungry puppy!


love

I have never considered myself being "obsessed" with socks, but my family does. I HATE going without socks, and I won't unless I have no choice in the matter. I wear them to bed and everything... 120 degrees outside or not... hehe.

Socks Suck! If I didn't have to wear them to keep my feet from freezing, I wouldn't at all. Now long johns those are a necessity at least 6 months of the year.

I HATE wearing socks!! I'm stubborn and even if it's freezing I will wear heels or sandals. The only time I wear socks is with tennis shoes and I even hate it then. Then again I dislike too much clothing in general. It feels too constricting.

I like to collect cameras. I also wanted to learn to dance. I never danced in my life except to slow dance. My ex wife told me after she divorced me that one of the reasons was because i don't dance.

I hate wearing tennis shoes. In the summer I wear sandals, and in the winter I wear either boots (casual, not snow) or loafter-type shoes.

Well that's just a lame excuse, keef!  Most of the men I know don't like to dance - I think it's a genetic thing!

I am not fond of socks. Or shoes. If you know me in person, that is one obvious fact. AS SOON as possible, shoes and socks come off. Even at work. Serious!  I love summer, I don't have to wear socks!!! Now Fall is coming. I'll have to wear REAL shoes now. Life is gonna be such a drag.  Sigh.

i have to admit that i feel silly when i try to dance. i guess because i don't feel that i'm very good at it.

as for socks, they are one of the two things i hate in this world! (the other is lawyers. well, i don't really hate lawyers, just the fact that they are necessary in this world)

my daughters make a point of wearing mis-matched socks.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
