Wife and I were talking after a fairly long day of work and without thinking I said to her that I've noticed that after 45 or 50 in a grocery store you don't seem to notice another person coming from the left or right (no peripheral vision) and was wondering if she noticed. With a serious kind of smirk she looked at me and said, don't give a shit. Now this is coming from the most easiest going, mild manor girl I know. Well who am I to question the wisdom of a women? Just one question, was it me? :eek:

They don't check out all the other women like a man does. We have to use our Puerperal vision or theirs hell to pay. Just speaking from experience.

I notice everything when I shop or go anywhere. My wife does also but that is probably because of our profession prior to retirement.

That reminded me of an experience my wife and I had with our grandson. I had a regular cab pickup, so the three of us were packed in, grandson in his booster seat. He was 3 at the time. We ran into town for a trailer load of mulch from a local landscape company.

We were stopped at a red light in a residential area. Pretty gal was jogging up the sidewalk coming towards us. Grandson leans forward so he could see past granny and check out the lady :p:D

Course both of us couldn't resist and pounced on that situation. I had to ask him what he was so interested in. Wife's sitting there laughing. Grandson turned three shades of red :D:D

Most people now or so busy looking at their phones they don't know what's around them.

Funny.....
both wives I had:eek::p:) were both lookers.......
IN MALL - look for 4 or 5 hours, come back home....ONE bag.....

me ...my looking consists of .....well, like 12 full minutes, then I am done!:D

It ought to be a law, EVERY store has a couch and tv .....lol!:D

I did make the mistake of going shopping with #2 ......I sat in front of a tv watching two football teams that I would n e v e r watch at home, and my my time passed! She came back and I said I need to watch till halftime.....she said - O HELL no!:eek:

why is it the woman asks "which one DO you like?" and you study the situation for a second ....and pick, and SHE picks the other???? I know - dont ask stupid questions! :)
