No, that would be 'ouch!' 'Ow?' may be the Dutch equivalent of 'Oh?
How so?'

Visual aids.. is that what you call it <g>

That's not what I meant. I said 'little boy being proud of a new
accomplishment.' Like "Mom! Did you see me throw that frisbee? It
went all the way to the neighbour's garden!" or "Look what I just
wrote here - we learned to write the M today!"

We'll just have to wait and see.

The fact that you did not understand that, proves those women were
mature when you still weren't.

I'm not a purist no - sometimes I'll drink stuff mixed, sometimes
neat.

Are you talking about the animals or the humans?

True. I think I should have expressed myself differently:
Who is to say who is delusional and who isn't?

You obviously married the wrong person, but you knew that already.
It's not marriage that's to blame for that though.

I think you're right. Put a soft soap and a plain soap in the bath
room, and any man will pick the soft soap. So, if both men and women
use the soft soap - who is ever gonna buy the plain soap?

Most likely.

How do you hear 'taking off her clothes' in that Debbie Boone song?

That thought hadn't crossed my mind yet, but it is of course an
option.

Oops, no - didn't notice. It just streamed, didn't look at the
details.

You haven't? Okay, I now know that :-)

You're sure it's male? I reckon I used the same to get the file

Amen.
