Nine Words Women Use.

This just in from my sister.

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' That will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

The Progressive Car Insurance Commercials.

Has anyone else had about enough of the wacky, red-lipstick sales-girl, and the whole dreamworld Progressive store ad concept?

Or is it just me?

Eurotazza Closing?

Fort Worth Business Press reports that independent coffee shop, Eurotazza, has announced its plans to close after serving coffee lovers for three years. The slow economy is stated as the reason.

Many west side Fort Worth residents will be disappointed. Eurotazza served good coffee in a very pleasant atmosphere.

Oddly enough, even given the economy, now would be a good time to start again -- the Starbucks mystique is gone and good coffee at a moderate price is selling at McDonald's and Dunkin Donuts. Easy for me to say, I know, I haven't tried to start a coffee bar, but I still think the climate is right to go after the Starbucks-type customer. I hope the owners will try again.

Regardless, many Fort Worthians will be sorry to see them go.
