It is brutally cold outside. "I better give you a ride to the train," I say to Mr. Kamikaze. "You could die."
"You'd be better off, financially," he says. These are gloomy days in the business that buys our groceries.
"No I wouldn't," I say, thinking of all the plumbers, electricians and cabinet makers we have never had to hire because Mr. Kamikaze is as good with a screwdriver as he is with a leaky ballpoint pen.
"I'd have to pay someone every time the toilet clogged," I say.
He looks up. "You would have them breaking down the door to unclog your toilets," he says.
It just doesn't get any sweeter than that.
I sincerely hope the news from the Tribune does not personally affect you. By the way, apparently you cannot be bought; nothing happens when I try to click on that icon. I can fedex you some groceries if you prefer. Some nice Wisconsin cheese and Door County wine to share with your wonderful husband. Let me know.

You don't even have to click it. Blogher pays just because you're here...
Thanks!

Why the Hallmark people haven't recruited him yet is beyond me.

Now how do I respond to that? Huh? How?
Mr. Kamikaze wins the love language award this year.
I’m going to be contender next year.
Actually I came close, I told the Little Woman this weekend when she started mouthing off that it's a good thing she's cute or I'da thrown her out by now. How many points do I get on the love Richter for that one?

Well it's not exactly Byron is it? But there's a certain raw sincerity to it, which, if properly paired with jewelry and good wine, might get you to a four ...

Nothing beats the pearls from my (supposedly sensitive) husband, who told SK and I that we looked pretty good for middle aged women, not including celebrities.

As I recall, his exclusions also included "women with personal trainers."

"Brutally" cold? You say that as if Winter was a bad thing.
Lets hope the plumbers look like Mike Delfino! :-)

So, will Mr. S get anything besides a blog entry?
