MALE APPRECIATION DAY
This is a picture of us on Halloween, just for fun, but I thought it would be fun to celebrate the differences between men and women today. My friend Sheila Rhoades sent me this the other day and I laughed so hard. See what you think!

I have to say my husband is great about putting down the toilet seat. And he likes to go shopping with me. I think he probably gets annoyed at the way I leave my curling iron out but he never complains about it.
The man difference I see between men and women is that men are problem solvers. They want to fix it and get on with things. We women tend to want to hash it out a little more and get some sympathy first. And we may not even really want to solve the problem, just complain about it! LOL
So care to share about your spouse or boyfriend/girlfrend/father? What do you see as the biggest differences between men and women? Note: this may end up in a book! LOL it's always fun to explore how to get those differences apart.

Mel and I are a little mixed up when it comes to gender differences. He's wonderful about toilet seats, and he is the first to compliment me on the way I look--every day. My problem, and I noticed this today when we were getting ready for a meeting, is that I haven't learned his love language. I whistled at me across the room. I thanked him. He whistled at me again, and I looked at him, and he was striking a sexy pose. OH! Got it! FINALLY, I whistled back. His love language is to encourage and complment. Mine is to try to serve him and meet his needs. But his needs are for approval and appreciation from me. That's something I need to work on.
Oops. I meant HE whistled at me. I didn't whistle at me. Man, this tiny computer is messing with my mind.
I got it! LOL Very cute of Mel. Men are so visual. I should have mentioned that too. And they do crave appreciation and approval from us. Love the comment about love languages!
Because I am the only female in my home, the default position for the toilet seat is up, and I don't mind putting it down.
I think gender generalizations are bad for the most part. There are many areas in life where I am not the "typical" female.
Hi Colleen!
This couldn't have come at a better time. My parents sent me their car as Dad just shouldn't be driving at 89. One two many 'accidents', LOL. We have two non working cars in the driveway and he just uses the one that does work. So, this will be MY car -no matter what.
Anyway, the title has been misplaced so we can't register the car. I gave it to him and said put it in a safe place, and he says I lost it! Any prayers to find this title will be very much appreciated!! I am going to check the car again as it can be right in front of him and I will hear, "I can't find it."
He is a clutterer and I like things in the place they belong. He is an impulse buyer and I like to think about it -- will it go on SALE?! He has drifted along, and I want to plan the next 10 years (retirement is very close), but he does put the toilet seat down, bless his little heart, lol.
God made men and women different so that our lives would keep us on our toes...I think. However, two heads are better than one, if one will let the other use it!
Loved all the posts, how funny they ring so true.
Thanks, Cheri
The title HAS to be here somewhere...
Mine is very good with the toilet seat. Almost 6 months of marriage and I've never had to put it down! Hope it stays that way.
We're still trying to figure out each other's love languages.
