Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

We Can't Be The Only Ones Who Find Us Amusing

From time to time my dear friend Debby and I have a gift for upsetting people or being misunderstood when we make jokes. We were delighted when we found this out about each other and now whenever we make one of these offhand joking comments we both think "Well, Debby/PlanB would have thought that was funny" and we laugh. Generally we run into this problem with men in our lives that we are currently or have been involved with in a romantic nature. We joke, they take us seriously and then talks result. Sometimes we even get lectured about how unfunny we were being and how it's not right to be joking about such things. We were just being funny. Sigh. It's so difficult to be misunderstood.

    "We Can't Be The Only Ones Who Find Us Amusing"

    This is funny. As a male I have listened my entire life to women who say that men don't listen to them, take them seriously and aren't willing to TALK about anything. Yet here is a blog post about two women sharing some living comedy and the MEN being the overly sensitive, politically correct, un-funny creatures.

    Great post!
