Whether this should be or not is material for many a blog entry. I wonder why someone as smart as you is astounded and annoyed by the fact that a head covering in the Stern culture would suggest marriage. As for the rude librarian- there are too many rude and disgruntled people everywhere but I must agree with the rules about cell phones- why should your short call to daddy be an exception?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-1159171091130868092006-09-25T03:58:00.000-04:002006-09-25T03:58:00.000-04:00Y'know what you should have done? stick whatever y...Y'know what you should have done? stick whatever you were reading, with the reference, in her face, and say, "Fine!

(Because I didn't want an engagement ring, and the chastity ring meant much more.) So anybody who didn't know me well assumed I was engaged, and that was fine with me because it kept away some of the guys who would try pick-up lines on any available woman. Now I'm married, and of course have a wedding band. And sometimes I feel like waving my left hand in front of an obviously dense guy's face and saying "Hello? Do you see this ring? I'm not interested!" <sigh>Kiwi the Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656977260755719619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-1158867228721171912006-09-21T15:33:00.000-04:002006-09-21T15:33:00.000-04:00Most annoying is when my dates choose to get sunbu...Most annoying is when my dates choose to get sunburnt on a hot summer day rather than wear a hat.
