Men

I sometimes sit and ponder why do all women’s problems all begin with men?
Menstruation, Menopause and Mental – oh don’t start me off on them
Any of those issues could quickly drive you round the bend
I’m grateful I have my hubby he will be with me to the end
The men in my life are wonderful I cherish them every day
But I’d dearly love to find one with hair that’s turning grey
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm that would make my day!

very interesting pontification! Men begins a lot of female problems. I call menopause MEN ON PAUSE. B/c men better pause and rethink the situation before messing with a woman on menopause. KEEP plugging away with writing, NO MATTER WHAT, (or who)

Men!! Can't live with them can't get away with killing them! My hair had a race between turning grey and turning loose. Turning loose won out! We men don't mean to cause so much problem, we just don't seem to be able to avoid it, however.

Dear Jan, This is very clever and gave me a chuckle. I do believe many women's problems begin with men. I carry a boatload of baggage from them. LOL Glad you have a great hubby! Yes, I think lots of men lose their hair as they age, but to me Paul Newman, Sean Connery and Richard Gere gained more sex appeal when their hair turned silver! Good one, Jan! Love, Carolyn
