I wish he’d clean something, anything - the bathroom maybe - regularly without me asking…oooh. * * * ~There is no statute of limitations on karma~ ---

I was having a really hard time last week; a few of my students were in rare form and I was pulling out my hair. I vented on my boyfriend, who listened lovingly. The next day, he showed up unexpectedly at my door with a dozen yellow roses, saying “I think you need flowers.” I melted. That’s probably my favorite type of thing he does–he’ll show up, randomly, with flowers, or a gift, or take me to an unplanned dinner. He just whisks me away…ahhhhh. My man loves when I cook for him, but then (without asking) helps clean up the dishes afterwards–he doesn’t just leave it for me. I love that. But perhaps the best is just when we’re cuddling…he’ll roll onto his side while I’m lying on my back and touch my face gently, play with my hair, and just _look_ at me with amazing love in his eyes. Oooh, yeah. I love this man. * * * I used to think the world was against me. Now I know better. Some of the smaller countries are neutral.

Well, currently playing the field, but a former SO had this voice to die for. When he said one specific word, it sent me spinning…just that bit of accent and how he said it… wow!! * * * I opened the door, and look who I found. Damn I’m good ---

Last night I melted. After being in sick bay for a week, I was sitting brainless infront of this computer ( is there any other way but to sit like that?) and our son ( in his crib) started sputtering. I went in to rub his back to coax him back to sleep and my husband rose out of bed, staggered down the hall and pulled my sleeve and wordlessly told me to leave the situation to him. That and he fixed the alternator in our car for just the cost of the broken part AND (this is a biggie) did not have any parts left over. One day I fully expect to have an engine being held together with duct tape and a bobby pin. Flowers are nice, candy is fine, but I take a man that knows how to use his tools (wink wink) any time. (Ohhh, Hallmark look out…) ---

I like getting letters literally sealed with a kiss (i.e. a lipstick smooch on the envelope flap). Makes personal letters all that more personal. ---

My husband is a man of few words, but every so often he just pulls me in close to him and says “come here”…then hugs me and says “I love you”. Right out of nowhere. Once, while slow dancing at a Christmas party, he pulled back to look into my face and said “My God, I love you”. ## Both incidents made me into jello. DAMN! Love is like popsicles…you get too much you get to high. Not enough and you’re gonna die… [Click here for some GOOD news for a change](http://www.binghamtonpress.com/binghamtonnews/local/Sanews5.html)[Zettecity](http://www.angelfire.com/ny3/zettecity/index.html) ---

Anything random and unecessary. If he gives me a hug or says “I love you” for no reason. If he sends me an e-mail that isn’t a response to something I sent him and isn’t some information that I need. Just anything that shows he was thinking about me when he didn’t have to be. * * * Cessandra Why sex is better than religion: No need to rest on Sundays! ---

We have a Sonicare toothbrush. There are two heads and one motor unit. Whenever my hubby’s done, he ALWAYS puts my toothbrush head back on the unit and I do the same for him. Kinda makes you all _mushy_ don’t it? 🙂 * * * Leslie Irish Evans [http://leslie.scrappy.net](http://leslie.scrappy.net) ---

voguevixen – I hope to God you are kidding… but if not: Great sex is about great communication. If you aren’t getting it, you aren’t giving it. Tell him what you like, ask him what he likes. Be specific. Show him. Encourage him. Draw him a picture if you have to… * * * Best! Byz ---
