Should women date like men?
I was listening to a song the other day, called Do It Like A Dude. It was by the singer Jessie J and the lyrics – and video – are quite hilarious. I thought how silly it would be if women behaved as men. No offense to the gentleman folk but I am not sure I could ever carry on like you do.
When it comes to dating, I can be dude-like in some instances, though. I know a lot of men who don’t rush a dating relationship. I am the type that takes it super slow, and I don’t usually get clingy with the men I date.
What would happen if more women dated like men, though? Would it be a good thing for some, bad thing for others?
Could some men stand to date like a woman?
What dating or relationship habits/behaviors do you think we could benefit from adopting from the opposite sex?

SCool – You may want to wait to see what furniture you get, so you won’t be limited by paint. Although it’s easier to change paint than change furniture, I would hate for you to fall in love with some furniture, but feel you have to forgo it because you don’t feel like changing the paint.
Earth tones are actually good choices to go with and look great with a splash of accent color. For example, in my house my sister is renting, I have a sand/tan color on 3 walls. One accent wall has a khaki green with a sand texture to it and I have a red leather sofa. It has a contemporary, southwestern feel to it. I have a painting of a sunset and a small cactus plant.

The blog did not approve the second part of the riddle. There was no profanity in it at all.

When I travel internationally, I want to have a passport, a translator or a book on translations and travelers cheques
That way I’ll know for certain I have left the country.

Which is the word in English that has nine letters, and remains a word at each step even when you remove one letter from it, right up to a single letter remaining. List each letter as you remove them, along with the resulting word at each step

SCool – I remember this dude I was friends with awhile back would act soooo important. He was sitting around the kitchen talking with me & my family. He mentioned he had to go “out of the country” on business, all important-like. My mom asked where he was going and he said the Bahamas. When he left, we were cracking up. My mom said she thought he was going to say somewhere in Europe or Asia or somewhere. Not “one of those little islands” like my mom said!LOL!

“Startling” is the word. Begin by removing ‘i’, which makes it ‘staring’, then take away the ‘t’, making it ‘staring’, and so on – string; sing; sin; in; and, I

And with the stress and nerves they begin eating and either stay the same or gained.They they are S.O.L on the dress! When I worked in a Bridal Store that and the Reverse Anorexics who think they are thinner than they really are used to crack me up. “I’m a size 8″…trick stop lying, you are a good size 12 on a non-bloated day!
Oh and for the living room colors, You should do a mixture of chocolate brown with tan or beige and for a splash of color, green or pumpkin.

Sookie deserves what she gets for hiding Eric in the next episode. I know you loved seeing Alcide yesterday. LOL and what is the little shape shifters name?
