If only they wouldn&#8217;t be so difficult to buy… Look for stores, full and hot, bad personnel, etc.<br />
Now she discovered online shopping on the Internet.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Honey, how does this work with the Internet?”</strong><br />
“What exactly would you like to do, sweetheart?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“I found perfect flip flops here, and now?”</strong><br />
“On the Internet?? On which page?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Shop Web something www. Looks nice.”</strong><br />
“Ahhh ok. Good. And what´s your question now??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Can I order the shoes there somewhere now?”</strong><br />
“Yes, honey. Place them in the shopping cart and continue to the&#8230;”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Your technical mumble-jumble! I´ve never done this before!”</strong><br />
“Oh, ah… sorry, I didn&#8217;t know…”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“No, ok, just forget it. I´ll find out myself. So, lets see…”</strong><br />
“Click there on the bottom right…”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Let me do it! It can´t be that hard.”</strong><br />
“Okay, honey, but if you have questions…”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">[My sweetheart immerses herself, and I hear her clicking about 347 times.]</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Hey? Honey?” I have 6 pairs of shoes in my shopping cart now.”</strong><br />
“Nice… Can you order shoe closets there too??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“No, I mean, I only want one pair! And now?&#8221;</strong><br />
“Just delete the shoes you don´t want.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“But it doesn´t work here. Stupid internet, I knew it!”</strong><br />
“Okay, just take it easy… Enter a 1 instead of the 6 there.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Oh, okay, that works. Thanks, now I can do it by myself again.”</strong><br />
“Maybe I should…”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“No, but thank you, honey. Go…!”</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">[About 10 minute pass without a single click...]</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Hey? Honey?” What is SSL?”</strong><br />
“A coding technology that guarantees that your data is transferred safely.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“But they don&#8217;t even have my data yet!”</strong><br />
“No, but you will have to enter it in just a minute.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“But I only want to buy shoes, that&#8217;s all!”</strong><br />
“Yes, but they do have to be delivered somewhere, don´t they?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“That´s pretty complicated, I think. So click on order.”</strong><br />
“I leave you alone then again, honey…”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“But you can´t leave now! Help me!&#8221;</strong><br />
“But you said you wanted me to…”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Yes, but now tell me the address of your company.”</strong><br />
“MY COMPANY??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“They want a delivery address, and I´m never here.”</strong><br />
“Ok, well, then, use this address here…”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Great! There, and now I only need your credit card.”</strong><br />
“EXCUSE ME?? MY CREDIT CARD??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“I don´t have one, and you can only order with credit card!”</strong><br />
“Okay, and now I have to pay for YOUR shoes, or what?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Come on, they only cost 4.99.”</strong><br />
“Do you mean you´ve been ordering shoes for 4.99 for an entire hour??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“You can´t get exactly these anywhere else, and it´s only 12.89.”</strong><br />
“Honey, I´m way over 30, please, please, my blood pressure…”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Well, shipping costs need to be added and…”<br />
</strong>“Ok, here, use my credit card… I´ll buy myself a new one.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Can you do that??”</strong><br />
&#8220;NO! NO, of course not! You can´t buy money either, can you!”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Oh, too bad. Why are you so mad?”</strong><br />
“Doesn´t matter. Do you have any more questions? HONEY??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“No. It´s all good! I hope the shoes fit.&#8221;</strong><br />
&#8220;Why shouldn´t they??&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>&#8220;They only had them available one size smaller…”</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Women&#8230;</p>

I am proud of her, but sometimes it gets on my nerves if she works very late.<br />
She sits at her computer and types, and types, and types… We have two computer work desks at home.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“I just have to finish these things, they´re very urgent.”</strong><br />
“Ok, sure. Go ahead sweetheart, I know that they´re important.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Do you have anything you need to do yet?”</strong><br />
“Ah, no? Not really, why?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Because I always feel bad.”</strong><br />
“Why? Because you have to work?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“No, because you DON´T have to work.”</strong><br />
“So you would feel better if I had to work now??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Yes, because then we would be in a bad mood together.”</strong><br />
“But I don´t want to work now, and be in a bad mood´!”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Well, that&#8217;s not how I meant it, either!”</strong><br />
“Ok, well… then ok. And now?&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“You were at the computer until late yesterday.”</strong><br />
“Yea, but I just surfed. And I didn´t work.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Well, I never know what you´re doing there…”</strong><br />
“Honey, what do you mean??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Well, I think you´re working, and all the time, you´re doing WHAT DO I KNOW.”</strong><br />
&#8220;What are you trying to tell me!?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">[I think she exclusively means smutty issues with "what do I know"...]</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“I don´t know. I´m working and you´re just clicking around.”</strong><br />
“But you wanted me to do something just now!”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“I thought you don´t work at your computer??”</strong><br />
“SOMETIMES, no, I mean, USUALLY!”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“What?”</strong><br />
“Honey, I´m going crazy! Stop it!&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>&#8220;What!?&#8221;</strong><br />
&#8220;Should I WORK a little now, so you don´t feel so alone in the office? Would that make you happy?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Yes… But don´t only do WHAT DO I KNOW again!”</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Women&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignright" title="Parking right (photocase.com © funnytimeofyear)" src="http://www.charmingsweetheart.com/images/lady26.jpg" alt="" hspace="10" width="90" height="120" />My girlfriend is an expert in street traffic and driving a car in general. She travels a lot and therefore knows all the tricks in the daily battle on the streets.<br />
On weekends, I usually have to drive, because she doesn&#8217;t feel like it then. After a few errands, we are on our way back home.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“I hope we can find a parking space.”</strong><br />
“Sure, honey, we´ve always found one until now.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Yes, but I don´t always want to have to walk so far!”</strong><br />
“You don´t have to, and now just wait until we get there.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“And what if it starts raining now?”</strong><br />
&#8220;We will be there in 30 seconds and not one drop of rain has fallen!”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Shoot, there´s nothing free here.”</strong><br />
“There is one! Right in front of the door!”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“No, you can´t park there.”</strong><br />
“Why not?? It´s just what you wanted!”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>&#8220;Because the doves always sprinkle on my car right there.”</strong><br />
“SPRINKLE??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Well, you´re not supposed to say shit! Those creatures are sitting in that tree there.”</strong><br />
“Really? Okay. I always park there too, but ok.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Where are you going now!?”</strong><br />
“There´s one on the other side too.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Stop, that won´t work either!”</strong><br />
“Oh, are there doves too??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“No, but the neighbour parks there with her funny VW bus.”</strong><br />
&#8220;And?&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“She can´t park very well. She will damage my car!”</strong><br />
“Ok, but… Whatever, I´ll drive around again, ok?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Now you put my car in the no parking zone!”</strong><br />
“No, you can park here until tomorrow morning 9.00 a.m., see?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Oh. But then move it 2 metres back.”</strong><br />
“Why??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“To get away from that tree there.”</strong><br />
“Let me guess: the doves?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“You say that as if I were stupid! And then they shit on my car!”</strong><br />
“Okay, okay! I´ll park in the middle, it´s your car&#8230;”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“I usually don´t do that either&#8230; I hate it when somebody parks like that.”</strong><br />
“Yes, just like I´m doing right now. I hope nobody sees me getting out&#8230;”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“You want to get out now??”</strong><br />
“Yes, don´t you??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“You forgot something.”</strong><br />
“Why? Telephone?  Glasses? - What??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“You didn´t pull the handbrake!”</strong><br />
“But I put the gear in! And the road is perfectly even.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“I learned that you are always supposed to pull the handbrake!”</strong><br />
“Ok, ok, honey, here you go. There. All good now?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Ah shoot, now I forgot something.”</strong><br />
“Oh no, that doesn´t sound good! “WHAT?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“I didn´t send the mail. We need to go again!”</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignright" title="The bed with the middle (photocase.com © hulibu)" src="http://www.charmingsweetheart.com/images/lady24.jpg" alt="" hspace="10" width="130" height="98" />It is way overdue; and now my girlfriend and I have bought a new bed. All important criteria were considered: it is elegant and large, has the right colour, the mattresses are great, new sheets, and so on.<br />
At night, we are lying in it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“This new bed is awful.”</strong><br />
“Honey! Just a few hours ago you said it was the most beautiful of all!”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Yes, it looks great and it´s very comfortable.”</strong><br />
“So what is so awful about it??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“I am lying on the crack.”</strong><br />
“On which crack??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Well, here, between the two mattresses is a crack, and that´s where I´m lying now.”</strong><br />
“Oh, that´s what you mean. And?&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“I don´t like lying on the crack, I´ll fall in!”</strong><br />
“Honey, you´re very thin, but…”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Look, here, with my elbow, I´m already stuck in it!”</strong><br />
“You can´t be serious now!”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Yes, I am. If the mattresses move, I´ll be inside!”</strong><br />
“They won´t move! Why don´t you just lie on your side of the bed!”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“But if I lie on my side, I´m so far away from you.”</strong><br />
“Yes, but that´s why we bought THIS large bed!”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Yes, but I didn´t think that I would have to lie on the crack.”</strong><br />
“Yes, but…Okay. Honey,please watch that you don´t fall into the crack.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Very funny! Don´t make fun of me!”</strong><br />
“I don´t want the same happening to you as it did to your potato chip&#8230;&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>&#8220;What?&#8221;</strong><br />
&#8220;It slipped into the crack in the couch, and is all alone now.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“You´re not taking me seriously again!&#8221;</strong><br />
“If you fall into the bed crack, I´ll take the long vacuum cleaner nozzle, and suck you back out! Haha!&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“You don´t really love me! I´m going to move onto my side&#8230;”</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">[My girlfriend pouts and rolls onto her side of the bed, turns her back towards me and doesn´t say a word. She usually stays this way for 30 seconds when we are having a discussion about something.]</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“I can&#8217;t go to sleep this way!”</strong><br />
“Really! And now?&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“You have to come over to my side.”</strong><br />
“You mean like we go to sleep every night?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>&#8220;Yes.&#8221;</strong><br />
“You mean, just as we have done hundreds of nights before?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Ye-es.”</strong><br />
“So the crack here is not so bad after all?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“You have three seconds left!”</strong><br />
“And what happens then??”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Then I´ll come over to your side and stay there!”</strong><br />
“Oh no, honey, please don´t do that to me!”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“Yes, I will. Two seconds left.”</strong><br />
“You get hotter than a furnace at night, I can´t stand it!”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“This is what we´ll do every night from now on. One second left!”<br />
</strong>“Wait, ok, I´m coming!”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>“It´s actually quite convenient, this crack. But don´t fall in!”</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Women&#8230;</p>
