So I was right: temporary brain-loss.

So, either she had a different character in the first 3 or 4 years, or
you still hadn't fully recovered from the 'temporary' brain-loss.

Actually, no, never noticed. They never try that with me really.

Some men actually think we like it when they make a showcase out of
it.

Only a polar bear female would wanna make the effort.

I should have known you'd classify 'genius' like that.

Probably. Clever find btw.
However, personally I don't think Pearl Jam qualifies as 'noisy
noise', but I do realize that opinions on that matter tend to greatly
differ.

I never claimed there wasn't another word in between.

I never did. I called it 'repeating the word do' and 'combined it with
da'. I reckon that leaves space for a 'de' if I want to.

Sounds like you have a full and busy life with no room for negative
thoughts.
