I have always wondered about that especially since us men supposedly only have about 10,000 words a day to say and a woman has 25,000 words to say a day on average. It just doesn’t seem fair.Grayquillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118855928142920785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19155961.post-26053829858744924332009-08-30T19:16:44.047-04:002009-08-30T19:16:44.047-04:00Kappa, trust me, the name is apt.

They are polite but very determined to refuse help and make their own way. Now, if one of them does ask for help, I go with it. If they don't, I respect it.
