neiman marcus?
We don't have those high faluting, fancy, over priced kind of resturants here in Indiana.........
My spork was bought on ebay.
I'll bet a months salary that this lady astronaut is more mechanically inclined, and knows her way around a tool box better than any rightwing messageboard poster here.
pssst. some things have nothing to do with politics.
this'd be one of them.
you can keep the $40.
Now wait a second--who said they had nice potatoes ???
I knew some ME grads in college that couldn't hang a door.
The only tool I ever had that women seemed even remotely interested in using is attached to my body.
I confess that more than one woman seems to have lost my phone number, but to date not a single one has ever lost that tool.
A few of them moved on from using my manual tool to power tools, though, I'm fairly sure of that, too.
You know I looked at the title of this thread quickly and my mind saw "Women on Tools"
I might have to go to bed a little early tonight lol
...this time.Goodness gracious. Men and tools. Men are to their tools as women are to their shoes. There's way too many than necessary. As if their organ gets bigger every time they get a new one...
