Rules For Women
This is a list of rules that guys wished women knew...(In response to the popular "A Woman's 50 Rules for Men")
1. Learn to work the toilet seat: if it's up put it down.
2. Don't cut your hair. Ever.
3. Don't make us guess.
4. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
5. Sometimes, he's not thinking about you. Live with it.
6. He's never thinking about "The Relationship."
7. Get rid of your cat. And no, it's not different, it's just like every other cat.
8. Dogs are better than cats.
9. Sunday = Sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
10. Shopping is not everybody's idea of a good time.
11. Anything you wear is fine. Really.
12. You have enough clothes.
13. You have too many shoes.
14. Crying is blackmail. Use it if you must, but don't expect us to like it.
15. Your brother is an idiot.
16. Ask for what you want. Subtle hints don't work.
17. No, he doesn't know what day it is. He never will. Mark anniversaries on a calendar.
18. Share the bathroom
19. Share the closet.
20. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers.
21. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
22. Nothing says 'I love you' like sex in the morning.
23. Foreign films are best left to foreigners.
24. Check your oil.
25. Anything we said 6 or 8 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
26. Christopher Columbus didn't need directions, and neither do we.
27. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
28. Yes, pissing standing up is more difficult than peeing from point blank range. We're bound to miss sometimes.
29. Yes, and No are perfectly acceptable answers.
30. Don't fake it. We'd rather be ineffective than deceived.
31. If you don't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
32. Let us ogle. If we don't look at other women, how can we know how pretty you are?
33. Don't rub the lamp if you don't want the genie to come out.
34. You can either ask us to do something OR tell us how you want it done-not both.
35. Women wearing Wonder bras and low-cut blouses lose their right to complain about having their boobs stared at.
36. Don't make 50 rules when 36 will do.

Good morning everyboomie.
I'm pretty tired tonight, and in hay fever mode I think.
Since my trek around the sod farm yesterday it's been a sneeze fest for me, and today I went the other way, and spent all afternoon walking that other creek, in the wind.
The nose is getting pretty runny. It's a long sinus movement.
I imagine Thursday I'll be sticking around here, and hoping to get in the exercises, and run.
I just want to relax this evening with the critters.
Have a happy day everyone.

Finally Thursday! Trivia tonight and a free day all day! I'll have to go for a long hike! 
Good Morning Joe, Space, Trail, Ana and everyone. We are expecting a Northeaster today. Snow coming down at 2 to 3 inches an hour when it starts. Accumulation from 10 to 18 inches with wind chills in the single digits! 
It's going to snow all day! 
More snow expected again Friday night into Saturday! Coffee and tea are ready! It's going to be a long day! Hope you all have a good one! 
We will go every couple of days for a little while to get laser treatments on her neck and her leg in hopes of discouraging her urge to lick. The vet thought it might be stemming from pain in the neck radiating and tingling down the leg. Who knows, but I'm always up to try to find a solution for her.
