Nope. But he did get my two.

Hope springs eternal in the pigeon breast?



You have my sympathy re: coffee migraines. I have a friend in a similar situation- can't even have chocolate.

Do you have a British Airways Barbie? I bought one for our niece- available only on British Airways flights from the duty free collection.

Only problem is, the knickers are always falling down.

[LTEC!]

I do have chocolate ocassionally...but I restrict my intake until before 8pm. Otherwise I turn into a gremlin.

I don't have british airways barbie. I decided to concentrate in a section I particularly like, which is the silkstone type barbie. If I ever bother with vinyl dolls it is actually to get the outfit...then give the doll to my niece.

What's wrong with guys? I mean, what is it about men that makes them refuse to admit that they've freakin' grown up?

[LTEC!]

Men have a very fragile ego. It is really the same thing that makes them compare sizes in the showers and buy monster trucks later.

[JohnT]

Eh, I agree with the ego thing, but it still doesn't answer my question. Imho, of course.

Some men have no problems accepting their adult responsibilities. However (and this might be the increasingly cynical, increasingly older part of me), it seems like the majority have a problem letting go of their teenage years - it's like if they admit they have a kid and a wife, and responsibilities to said kid and wife (responsibilities which limit their participation in once-fun activities), they expect a part of themselves to die, to no longer enjoy life.

That, to me, is so tragic. Being a kid, even an older in-my-20s kid, sucked. Being an adult rocks. Period. There is nothing more enjoyable than being responsible for your own life.

Women of course never compare arse sizes, or bosoms
(yeah, right).

For monster trucks, read : shoes.

Unless you're a butch lesbian, in which case, check/plaid shirts, or work boots.

[LTEC!]

My theory on this is that there is something that went amiss in their younger years and they want to make up for it. That and the fact that they've grown up in every other way than emotionally...
It also has to do a lot with the selfishness that involves not having all the attention/love/toys/you name it. I've found that happens especially with guys that were only children and/or had to take care of business since a young age.

I don't bother comparing. I get enough pressure from fashion magazines and adverts.

The mystique behind shoes is the following:
there will always be the perfect shoe for a specific outfit, and they usually FIT.
It works similarly for handbags.

do floreid toothpastes unstabilize feelings? (in teeth)

[LTEC!]

No idea. Call your dentist or use sensitive teeth toothpaste.

I had to adjudicate as to who had the shapeliest behind out of several butch ****s.

I think I used several years' worth of tact up in one evening.

I always found the handbag/purse and shoe things really strange.

I thought it was some kind of O.C.D. affliction, but at least it's not as bad as the Nick Hornby 'alphabetizing records' disorder.

It's books with me.

Can never have too many, except when they crush a distant relative to death and you only find the desiccated remains when you move house.

IS it wrong for grown men to play with action figures?

[JohnT]

Is it ok for little boys to play with dolls?
