Nathan, I can't vote on this since the voting thing is being replaced as I write this on Valentine's Day in the year 2007. But I would call this a remarkable piece of good humor for a man's man! You certainly are the insensitive sort, ask any of the sex opposite. Also, I would have to remark, though I agree with you, you must be a real "lout" of a special sort not to have a sensitive skin that can feel the thread count in your bed! And the definitive difference beteen the 800 or 1000-count thread must be even harder for you to detect! This makes you nearly an 'insensitive lout' on top of all your other faults, being nearly an 'almost' football loving (worshiping)(well, liking?) man's kind of man. Here it is, Valentine's Day, 2007, and the real measure of a man's kind of man is the kind of love-expression and planning you went to, to acquire some exquisite sweet confection of melt-in-your-love's-mouth, sinfully sensuous tounge-delighting chocolate whispers to her tender and so sensitive heart. That is the measure of your manliness (well, one of them), your feeling sensitivity and if you ask her (perhaps), a measure of your love. So what are you doing with your love on Valentine's Day -- assuming you are still together? And no, you need not be descriptive, just sensitive in thinking about what most woment think of this time of year. . .basketball, and the Final Four, and the playoff's! Or whatever's sportsy and vicariously involving. Are you still insensitive? The changes? The ones I think about are, "Honey, whatever you want on the bed as long as we do not slide off, is fine with me. Here, take this pocket change, and get US what WE need!" Give her a couple of hundred in two crisp bills and say, "I'll be working on the (whatever, wherever) and if you need more money call me or come by." What does a Man's kind of Man do when honey is doing the sensitive things. Next year's Tip: as sensitive as she might be, let her worry about the feel of her undergarments, a Frederick's of Hollywood might be a nice gesture, but it has got to be of the right texture and softness to be worn, by her. Good luck, man.
