I'm also a fan of the new design and, much like Hilary, I laughed out loud, too!
gatorace -- The company that brought you Gatorade is now sponsoring races between hungry gators and slow hate mongers.
I love the new design, DL! It suits your blog so well.
I remember some years ago I saw a comedian on Dr Katz who said there are no synonyms in a woman's vocabulary: 'I didn't say I was angry, I said I was upset. Maybe you should listen.' I am *so* guilty of that!
I love the fluff! As a woman, I appreciate you're translation of man-speak. It will make communicating much easier!
Also, when I first saw the new design my first thought was that it matched the blog title/theme very nicely, so I'd call that a success!
Hilarious! And I truly dig the new digs--uh, er, template you got going here.
Those are great! #5-10 for men are blunt - but honest. Hey, what can we say? It's just the way we're wired.
Dude, even up here we've been in the 90's forever, and HIGH humidity. Sweltering.
And that poem truly echoes my deepest emotions right now.
LOL! Funny bit of fluff you gave us!
Your new design is fantastic. It goes well with your blog's name!
Very funny! Fluff is good sometimes.
Okay, I have to say, your fluff just made my day. Haha!! Thanks for the laughs!!
that poem totally speaks to me, man. Totally.
I see that you are supremely clever even when writing FLUFF. I love the new look to the blog, but I thought you'd catch the 's in the headline. How's the novel coming? You're stacking up the states and the world is next, but how's the novel?
Oh, DL, you are just full of fluff today. Thanks for that. I definitely neede a laugh. And that poem? Totally going up on my wall.
Love the lesson, Love the design (yes, it seems like you're flying), and LOVE the poem. It's pretty hot up here, too.
I also really like the new design - it looks great!
Cruising Altitude = 30,000 feet. Uh, you'll feel a "gentle breeze" there, sure!
I like the new design. I noticed it right away and thought: oh cool. 6:30a, really? You didn't perk the coffee then, right? My sis did the coffee noise at 5a when we in NV a couple weeks ago. That drip sound is worse than someone knocking at the door. Course, I'm not a coffee drinker - maybe that's why I wanted to kill her.
This was a lot of fun DL. Thanks; just what I needed at the end of a long day.
JM: love the word verif definition. Those are really fun to play with.
Nice fluff! I've got to say I love the blog layout. It matches your blog title perfectly. And your lesson of the day is so true. I'm so guilty of the maybe = no with my kids.
And what can I say about the poem? It RAWKS!
first off, I'm loving the new blog look. Very fitting for the title. And second, thank you for making me laugh. I was really in need of it and this post was hilarious. Love the summer poem too... I'm feeling like it is very fitting right now.
Hi there - thank you for following my blog today :). I have stalked you back here, and I'm glad I did! Great post - very funny. Fluff is always good, especially when you need a laugh.
HILARIOUS!!! And I second that poem... it's VERY hot.
Well look at you and your fancy new blog design. I like it. You've hit the nail on the head with the dfferences of the English language for men and women. It's so great that someone actually gets it.
That is some funny FLUFF.
As always it is a pleasure to read.
I just love those vocabulary differences lol!
Have to disagree about the women's English. Most women I know tend to say exactly what is on their mind and then later get accused of having said something else by someone who wasn't actually listening to them in the first place. Sorry, that is my own pet hate.
Truely this poem brought some sunshine to my boring dampened day.heheh..cheers..
well the site design is reflecting some kind of phase that you are going through.Subtle one.
Kate ~ I keep forgetting about that 's. Novel is coming along slowly but surely. I hope to be able to begin querying by August 1.
Lilah ~ My first ghost posting! :) Welcome back!!!
Clara ~ That'll get my attention everytime! :) Thank you!
Thea ~ Thank you. I hope it gave you a smile today!!
As for the summer poem...No finer poetry has been written, I'd say. Thanks for making me laugh.
Oooo I like the new site! Very in keeping with the theme and very... "Don." Thanks for that translation list. Now I'm going to look fiercely at every male who innocently suggests that we go see a movie and have my slap hand ready. And that poem - move over, Shakespeare!
Love the new layout! Very fitting indeed!
Love all the blue sky and fluff. Easy on the eyes and cheerful.
ROFL! I won't admit just how true the women section is. OK, OK, it's right spot on!!!
Great fluff, I mean post!
Funny! I like the fluff!
Great fluff and what a brilliant poem.
Jaleh ~ That's the exact ambience I was going for. Mission accomplished!
Leah ~ Maybe I need to do more fluff??
Southpaw ~ The poem was true-to-life today. Heat index of 102. Yikes!
Okay, I very much like the new layout of the blog. It's seems more bright. A good thing!
And your lists were hilarious. Yes, I chuckled. Many times.
Oh yeah, your new layout is more in keeping with the title of your blog. Very nice! Fun man/woman lists.
Haha, thanks for the laugh DL!
Love the new design, very summer appropriate, and it totally goes with the blog name!
I've seen that language email before and it's a funny one.
I love your new look by the way. I wasn't very down with the tan scheme. This is perfect for Cruising Altitude. Nicely done!
