• "... In states with higher numbers of college-educated adults, couples tended to wed at older ages, while the opposite was true in states with lower education levels. ..."
Do you even need to read more?
• Why real men buy women flowers: "... My dad knew that buying a gift for that person who'll laugh at your terrible jokes, kiss you with lips and breath, and hold your hand as a [hospital] needle searches for your vein is just a way of saying, 'I'm thinking about you when you're not here.'
And that's what flowers are, just a simple, easy way of letting someone know they were in your thoughts. That's it. It's not complicated. Flowers announce: out of sight, still in my mind and heart. It is unerringly human to want to know that someone is thinking about you when you are not around. ..."
This is a cute story with a solid point. And who doesn't need a cute story now and then?
• The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Regina Brett's "45 life lessons and 5 to grow on" -- some of these ring more true than others. And some of them make me worry that Regina Brett sneaks into my apartment and watches me. I won't tell you which are which.
• To each his (or her) own, as Mom always said. Let people be who they are. It's not your place to tell anyone they're right or wrong just because they might or might not agree with you. (I think I might have mentioned that before ...)
• There are more people in your shoes than you might realize. Well, not your exact shoes. Maybe they're a different color or size or something. But they're still the same sassy, pointy-toed kitten heels that can be dressed up or dressed down and make you feel like a million bucks. ... The point is, it's probably smart to try and stay on the same side. You never know how you could help each other out.
• I try not to contribute to passing along viral Internet videos, chain letters, obnoxious forwards, bad advice, ... but something about giving cats subtitles is just too good. (But I'm also the idiot spending hours laughing at Lolcats.)
• Now go on. Some of us have work to do. Happy Tuesday.
