She told my 9 year old daughter she was going DOWN in a game of Sorry. And if being superficially competitive is a man thing, then my sister has a hell of a lot of ’splaining to do.

So, if I showed up with some form Trivial Pursuit, you wouldn't be tempted to try to trounce your opponent? What if I said I had the book lover's edition? On second thought, I would not bring that one. It is the most freakishly difficult version I have ever seen. I think the last time we played, we declared 2 wedges a win!

I do that all the time - to men AND women. I think touch is very, very important, and I don't think we do enough of it. I try to sneak it in in social acceptable ways whenever I can...

Thanks! I was thinking specifically, in terms of the differences between questions #5 and #21, about the "men are trolls" commercials that Mr. Chili resents the hell out of. You know the ones; the guys sneaking beer into the "wine and cheese" party,or watching football on the hospital room t.v. while his wife's in labor, that sort of thing. For #5, I had in mind things like changing the oil or fixing the sink - things that we appreciate in men. For #21, I was thinking more in terms of "men are trolls" sorts of things - giving her a dishwasher for her birthday or buying monster truck rally tickets for you and your buddy on your anniversary.... I LOVE that you stand when a woman's standing. I kind of wish men would do that for me - it seems so respectful... This is great, Bo! Thanks!
