Trust me, women sweat!

Oh yeah. Denotation/connotation thing going on in this issue. We all know what the words mean; but they mean something different to different people.

IOtotalcutenessN, when I woke up to Harvey purring, he had taken over my pillow, leaving me with a small corner. Sammie was lying on the headboard right next to him, identical position. Synchronized cat napping. It was cute enough to forgive the pillow theft.

"not really as tough as the Mighty Fightin' Whatnots".

Dude. Now I have to sponsor a softball team, just so I can name it that.

"...the Mighty Fightin' Whatnots are looking good this year against last year's rival team, Sammy's Pub's Loutish Drunken Slobfaces..."

In RE: vw's meeting CBD's parents going well - raise your hands if you are at all surprised... anyone? Crickets.

I can't even say *I'm* totally surprised. I was just anxious for a bit.

So, in my anxious stupidity, I wore heels last night. This morning my hip REALLY hurts, and I can hardly walk. I'm trying to decide if I can get myself to therapy, or if I need to go crawl back into bed with some ice packs. I've already been to the chiro, so it should feel better soonish, I hope.

can I get a little quick dentist~ma? Just a regular visit, but a new dentist and I HATE dentists.

The Mighty Fightin' Whatnots will need a really excellent mascot.

I'm interested in the whole "lady" discussion. Growing up in a determinedly southern family, where being ladylike was a major goal, I came to despise the whole mystique. I gave up the "lady" thing and tried to just be human.

However, I've noticed that in the past several years, the words "male" and "female" have, to a large extent, replaced "man" and "woman". And I really hate it - unless you're doing a form for health or police purposes, male and female imply animals to me.

The best of dog~ma to Lucy and sane~ma to you, Brenda. I'll be thinking about y'all today.

I am going to the Y. Now. If you see me post in the next hour, slap me.

goose!

And MM - she asked for a flaming COW, not a duck.

After you see so many AFLAC commercials, any excuse for flaming duck is a good one.

Fandom's Bitch that I am, I was pondering what Captain/Doctor Carter would think of the use of the word lady. If a man can be an officer and a gentleman, why then, she shouldn't object to being referred to as a lady. But then... the phrase "an officer and a lady" conjures up a totally different mental image, doesn't it?

(And MM - she asked for a flaming COW, not a duck.)

And a flaming cow she got.

The flaming duck was a gift-with-purchase. Like a tote bag, but quackier and on fire.
