Men try to make women laugh. Women say they want a guy who has a sense of humor and/or can make them laugh. But it doesn't work the other way around. Why not?

I look for people I can make laugh, because funny is really all I've got. What I find particularly unnerving is doctors who don't laugh.

Cash, there are people on the board in chronic pain. There are people on the board with sick animals. There are people on the board with toddlers. I think you're the only one who's hit the trifecta. Please to whine and whimper all you want.

Nice Haircut! Pretty Teppy!

Love the hair, Teppy!

It's actually just a shirt. HAHAHA!!! I have foiled your plan of theft by wearing separates!!!

WELL, I will steal it ANYWAY.

Aimee, you will have to fight me for it. I love it! If I may ask, Teppy, where did you get it?

I got it at Lane Bryant, and I think I got it last year. Possibly 2 years ago.

Oh, poop. I guess that means they probably don't carry it any more. I'm always on the hunt for cute shirts that aren't too low cut. For some reason, a lot of plus size shirts are so low cut that they are not work appropriate.

It's in a faux-wrap style, and it's actually *extremely* low-cut, but I just put in a couple of stitches to keep the halves of the faux-wrap in a less-revealing place.

See? Why do they do that? I suspect it is so they can sell camisoles. I will, however, check a couple of my tops to see if I can add some modesty stitching.

Concur on the haircut and blouse admiration. Both very fetching.

The DH will say "You look really bad in that picture" as he deletes it from his cache, but since he also says "You look beautiful in this picture" just as often, it doesn't sting so much. Of course I think I look hideous in EVERY picture, so I'm no judge.

you know the other thing that they do that I hate? Not having the buttons go all the way to the top. Sometimes, I want to button my shirt all the way up. Maybe I'm wearing a scarf, maybe I just don't want my boobs to fall out, but I want to decide how much to button my own )&&$^#%& shirt.

I couldn't see a blouse due to the BLINDING HOTTITUDE of Teppy.

Also, I dig the haircut.

I have a theory about these folks. I think it's helpful, especially for surgeons, to not be too empathic.

Yeah, you over-achiever.

So, anyone have any suggestions for what to get as stocking stuffers for 9 men and women in their early 20s, any of whom could kill me with their pinky, all of whom have disparate interests? Maybe I'll just get each Marine at the embassy an orange and some nuts.
