I have the joy of working with a lot of women. I have some great co-workers who are funny, interesting, intelligent and insightful. And I'm not just saying that because today I accused them of kicking me around. It is a fact.
A second fact, women talk about everything. If you've ever thought for a moment that we don't, you are deluded. If we do it, we'll talk about it: sex, marriage, child birth -- all up for grabs.
Today one of my co-workers was talking to another employee about health, mammograms and breast cancer. She was recommending a mammogram every year to everyone, especially to her daughters who were in their 50s.
We were startled by that. Her children were in their 50s. I've known this lovely lady for 12 years, but it never dawns on me that she is so much older. She has such an engaging and winsome personality.
"You'll never guess how long I've been married," she said.
"How long?," we dutifully replied.
"55 years to the same man. Isn't that disgusting!?"
We howled with laughter, because yes, it is kinda disgusting!

I want to be just as disgusting! She is my roll model!
Don't worry, sister, you're on your way!
I can see being married to a few different men for over fifty years....but just one man. Ewwee gross.
