I was getting desperate

Last night I was out and about hitting the bookstores and since I was
close to a Petsmart I figured it was a good chance to refill the cat's
larder which was getting low. I looked all over for the Science Diet
Nature's Best that the cats just love and it was no where to be seen. I
was getting more and more concerned as I walked and rewalked the aisles.
I could just imagine the reception from the cats if I walked in carrying
some other kind of food. The derision, the disapointment, the
complaining, the little noses pointed in the air at the substandard food.
It was more than I could bear, finally in real desperation I suppressed
my gender and actually asked for directions. She had to consult with
another worker but they did have some stashed in an area that was not
actually in the cats section. Man was I relieved.

LOL! John, how good of you to get in touch with your female side for the
cats' sake!

It's good for us now and again to reach to the other side

How refreshing to read that real mean really do ask for directions :-)
Can you believe my DH will drive 54 miles to the closest retailer here who
carries ProPlan. It's all Bootsie will eat. If you open anything else, she
sniffs it and runs off like a rabbit. So we go about once a month, and buy in
quantity. The checkout-person *always* asks, "How many cats do you HAVE?"

Now you go out and open your car's hood and tinker around for a moment,
to get back in touch with your masculine side.

Didn't have to, at the bookstore I had bought several graphic novels of
the Marvel Ultimate universe (Ultimate X-Men and the Ultimates) and the
latest John Ringo Military Sci-fi novel There Will be Dragons.
Testosterone was practically over flowing from the bag.

It wasn't alone. It was with the Iams and had one whole side of a short
aisle that was one row out of the cat stuff. I think they were in the
process of moving all the stuff around. Pretty common thing in a store a
couple days after Xmas.

Yes, and don't forget to carry your tool box. That will give a chance
for all the male neighbors to come around, help, and recharge their
male-ness. Oh, and by the way, it's not really necessary for any of
you to actually DO anything, or even for anyone to know HOW to do
anything under the hood. ;-)

You & Joel & Dave G could probably spend *way* too much time discussing
military sci-fi with each other. There's not much military sci-fi available
"off the shelf" here in the bookshops of our town, which means the ones Joel
can find are immediatley snapped up no matter whether I think our budget can
cope with it or not. Sometimes i think Joel would prefer to starve than go
without a new Military Sci-Fi book he's seen.
