If a man says something and there's no woman around, is he still wrong?

I have an aunt who's done this to her eyebrows non-stopr since the late 60's, and I just don't get it. Any of you lady freepers do this to your eyebrows?

I guess I'm really out of it. I do have blue pedicured toes though.

I don't know what they did to their eyebrows.

Nah, Eaker's not the type to shave his eyebrows, but he's probably singed them off with some particularly optomistic handload.

Hysterical!

Today is my wedding anniversary. My husband had to run out on a call and my gift and several cards are on his desk in plain view. The gift is a box 1" deep and about 6" square gift-wrapped in a yellow Dollar Store bag. I am 80% sure an exquisite antique diamond cross is inside as the opaque bag reveals a box exactly like those provided by the jewelry store we frequent. I will surely lose my mind in the two hours before he returns. Not that I've spent much time examining it (clears throat), but I have not been able to develop a reasonable plan to rewrap it without the possiblity of detection.

Since I would never even consider shaving off my eyebrows, would it be a crime against humanity to attempt a peek?

Of course he's wrong. With no woman around, who gave him permission to speak?

DOH! Could be he forgot or he is hoping you'll find it so he doesn't have to really wrap it. OR could be your getting something "really nice" from the Dollar Store. Either way, happy anniversary.

Go for it, Quilla. These days suspicious looking packages must be identified as quickly as possible. If not for yourself, do it for the nation. Peek.

vacuuming when he gets home.

No Scotch? The man has a surprise every day. He's just "adapting", if possible.

You must be more specific.

Do you mean:
1) Ever
2) This year
3) Recently
4) Continuously

In other words yes.

Thank you. Didi and catpuppy are taking both ends of the continuum - I've worked myself into a frenzy and am having to take an Alka Selzer. Sheesh. I don't think I'll peek as I can see myself going through all this trouble only to discover something like a top water fishing lure in there. Then I'll faint and he'll be home before I can revive myself and rewrap it.

ROFL! Something sexy, that's the ticket. I've got a brand new roll of saran wrap. Oh and please Lord, let my teenagers sleep until noon like they do every Saturday. ;-)
