I didn't see the Friday funnies today???? So this is all I have. I don't know if it's that good or not........but I only have 54 min to post it so here goes.............

Subject: Women

This is for all you women 40 years and over.... and for those who are
turning 40, and for those who are scared of moving into their 40's...AND
for guys who are scared of girls over 40!!!!...This was written by Andy
Rooney from CBS 60 Minutes.

Andy Rooney says:

As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here are
just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask,
"What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think. If a woman
over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining
about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it's usually
something more interesting.

A woman over 40 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is,
what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 40
give a damn what you might think about her or what she's doing.

Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with
you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course,
if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they
can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what
it's like to be unappreciated.

A woman over 40 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women
friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best
friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Women over 40
couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows
her friends won't betray her.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a
woman over 40. They always know.

A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not
true of younger women.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than
her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if
you are a jerk if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder
where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately,
it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman
of 40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of
himself with some 22-year-old waitress.

Ladies, I apologize.

For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk
for free." Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against
marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire
Pig, just to get a little sausage.

No CoS, don't stop! I read that last week and thought it was hysterical! BTW...it's just as hysterical the second time! I wasn't posting last night...a little mini-strike if you will. Fridays seem to be quiet around here, NO? Guess some people actually go out!

WHY were YOU up at 3:24 am??? Please don't tell me you have caught the Sueshore No-sleep Syndrome!!!!!

I think it's great too! Thanks for sharing. Friday and Saturday nights do seem a little quiet here...lots of lives to be lived I guess. We went to hubby's company dinner last night at one of those Brazilian Steakhouses :puke:
Too much raw meat for me! The salad bar was good though! Got new carpet last night too so gotta put everything back and finish decorating today....will check with ya'll later...

Oh man dd....I agree about those meat on a stick places!!! The meat is SO salty it's almost inedible. Once was enough for me...salad bars are usually the best thing going there!

Thanks for the review - there are at least 4 different Brazilian Steakhouses here in Chicago and while I've been tempted to try them, they just seem awfully expensive, especially when you consider that you have to get up and help yourself to some of the food. As a Mom of small kids, I tend to insist on a traditonal sit-down restaurant when I go out, so someone can wait on me for a change! Anyway, at least you got to try it on the hubby's employer's dime.

Good luck with the decorating - the only decorating we'll be doing today is for Christmas. Think we'll put up the trees tonight.

That's one thing I can't pull off - not even when I wear red.

We haven't tried one of those restaurants yet either! I've heard from most that the meat is fabulous, but, there is soooooooo much of it! We get too full too fast, so we think it would be a waste of $$ for us. I really think it's for peolple who can put away a lot of food!

Well, fortunately, I filled up on the salad bar. The meat is what I would call raw, some may call it med. rare :idontno: , but it's not seasoned much, except for the salt. The ribs were ok. The chicken weird-it DID have some weird seasoning. Of course, we didn't pay since it was a company thing, but we have been before when we did. I think our bill was around $120 bucks and that's with not much alcohol. 😱
