Flowers Revisited

I think I have somehow struck a cord amongst the males reading my blogpost on flowers. My two favorite responses are:

tarheeltri said... Comm, unfortunately I am going to have to take your link down on my site.That cannot be read by the Missus. See ya.

Chris said... Every week for the past 10 years??!? I hope my fiancee never reads your blog. There will be a SERIOUS case of envy there

Guys this is so easy to accomplish without being a sensitive-Mr. Ponytail-wussy boy. First and most importantly there is absolutely positively no walking into a floral shop. In fact it is strictly forbidden. All you have to do is pay attention to your surrounding. (Think about how closely you pay attention to all the bikes you see in a transition area, your very aware of your surrounding there aren't you.)


At least once per week you are going to walk into a grocery store to grab something, for me this is usually foodstuff for the weekend that we have run out of, O.J., Soy milk, eggs, beer, maybe some steaks for the BBQ, well they have flowers there too and their cheap. On average I spend about $5 a week for flowers. Chris, thats like 3 gels. Every now and then I may bigshot a $10 boquet if its a holiday or we have guests.

Men, never go into a flower shop. Run away as fast as you can. From experience its $50 minimum which is way overpriced and you feel like a putz for spending that much money on something that you could care less about and will die in five days anyway. Am I right?

Thats how its done. I don't even think about it anymore. I am just always in a grocery store getting something, so its nothing to get some daisys or tulips or sunflowers.

It may just soften the blow of you coming home someday with a new Shiny Thing for your tri-life.

What I am wondering is this...why no female responses?
