Sailor Man often complains that I want it both ways. He complains to me that I can’t have it both ways.
Given the existence of particle wave duality, I argue, yes, I can. Light is a tricky beast. Allows you to see everything yet will blind you at the same time. Sometimes acts like a particle. Other times acts like a wave. Is it a wave with particle properties? Or is it a particle with properties of waves?
Bohrs, Einstein, Newton, Young, and a host of great minds have tried to tackle this problem and we still have no satisfactory answers.
So, yes, I can be mad as hell at you and love you ferociously at the same time.
So, yes, I will spend an hour giving myself the perfect pedicure and then throw on a pair of socks and shoes.
So, yes, I can insist you not leave your dirty clothes on the floor and simultaneously demand that you not stop to fold your pants if I’m trying to get it on with you.
Bohrs, Einsten, Newton, Young….even they couldn’t entirely figure it out. But then, sorry, I forgot, they were only men.

But… you should also never rule out insanity either.
If it doesn’t really solve the issues above, it does at least give you a credible “out”.

yeah, reverted back to the old one, the “new” one looked too cluttered.

… laughed out loud so hard I frightened the kitties! Yes, why is it that can’t understand this ’simple’ duality?
I like this layout, so clean and spare … just as mine gets more cluttered!

Thanks, Girlgriot, although sometimes I wonder if “duality” shouldn’t just be another name for “bipolar”. I’m sure Sailor thinks so.
Oh, and open message to Tim Whipple whose comment I deleted in moderation: You’re perfectly welcomed to insult me provided your insults are within the context of an actual argument or other form of discourse. That little bit of juvenile nastiness did little more than get you blocked.

New layout! WOWZAH! Men don’t always get it. We must TEACH them. Or something like that.

Oh, I’m sorry… There was an actual “something” to get?!?!
Many years ago, my Father gave me the best advice on women that I’ve ever heard.
“Son, trying to figure them out will only make the maze go deeper. Just try to keep them happy and when they make no damn sense at all, don’t point that out. It won’t end well. Oh, and if any guy ever tell you that he’s got women figured out… he’s a liar.”
Good advice to live by if you’re a guy and you want to live with a girl… and you want to retain some shred of sanity.
