I'm passing this on without any comments I might have to pay for at a later date.

I think I've had all those today, and all I did was wake up!

Mickey: years ago the state's largest newspaper approached my about writing a weekly column. Most of the columns dealth with interaction with my mate and our kids. One week I wrote a column that started out "If a man speaks in the forest and there's no woman around, is he still wrong?" It was about a discussion between me and my wife over whether the moon was full. On the day the column was supposed to appear, it didn't. I called the editor to find out why. He said several women in the newsroom were "offended" by it. I said if a woman was offended by the column she was under thirty and never married. I told them if the women in the newsroom could vote on whether my topics were appropriate, then I had better things to do with my time. . .like cleaning the lint out of my belly button. That kind of attitude among younger journalists was one of the big reasons I got out of journalism in the first place.

Wayne,
I used to write a weekly column on photography about 50 years ago.
I never had any negative feedback consequently I have lots of lint in my navel.

Mickey: Is it natural or synthetic lint? W. Wayne, As this is now 2013 I suppose it is a mixture of real and artificial. I supposed the medical students will have to figure that out once they get hold of what is left of me. Mickey

"I'm going to do a bit of gardening" she says. Which actually means "If you don't get out there and cut the lawn you're a dead man" I mowed the lawn today.

Or. "I'm going to clean up the patio." After 46 years I have learned that a signal for me to put down my book and pick up the broom. (I'm a slow learner).

"I don't know what to eat tonight, you?" Guess what that means... Hans If your answer is anything but a salad you are on safe ground. If your answer is "Salad" you are in big trouble for inferring she is too fat. Be safe. Say "Whatever you wish, dear." Mickey

Actually, it is boiling down to: you think of something, and cook it! (and it had better be vegetarian, low-caloric, lot-of-vegetables, and spiced)
And to know that I'm very fond of beef and all that stuff which is anything but vegetarian:-(

Now that is a dangerous option! Especially on Thursdays, it implies goning into town where the stores here are open until 9 pm. Ouch
