You have to learn how to phrase things. You can tell a woman she looks like the first breath of Spring and she will love it. You can tell her she looks like the end of a cold hard winter and you are in trouble. Happy Birthday to your wife. One other thing, when did we have to start knowing the meanin' of the words we use? I now have to go back and start proofreading everything. I’ll bet it was hard gettin’ around all day with your foot still in your mouth. You have to learn how to phrase things.

Happy Birthday to your wife.

That's a man-compliment if I ever heard one. Good one, Barry! and Happy Birthday to you, Cathy!! And how about those times when he makes you laugh, but not on purpose? @qka: good catch! I'd be a terrible proofreader because my brain always fills in the correct word/spelling as I read. A bad habit that comes from interpreting my own typos. HAHAHAHA!

I read the cartoon and laughed so much that our older daughter came running to see what was so funny. That's what attracted me to you in the first place - you always know how to make me laugh ... and you're easy on the eyes, too! :-) Thanks for the birthday giggle! OK, I will be totally honest.
