A very rational preference--provided he can can carry you to the bedroom when you need to be carried...

Well, yeah.

I must have accumulated some good karma lately. I had been fostering a rescue cat--mentioned it on the House thread--and a woman came by to see it. Nice young woman, just finishing up at seminary and scheduled to have a nice parsonage out in the boonies. She will be taking the cat when the parsonage is ready. Meanwhile, I get to enjoy it for a while. Anyway, as it turned out, the woman's aunt and uncle had lost their home over the previous weekend to a fire. They and their pets escaped with only their lives. When she came by, I had clothes piled up all over the living room. I was packaging them up for the Salvation Army. One thing lead to another and it turned out that my discards were just her aunt's size, so we lugged enough clothing out to her car to keep her aunt clothed for the rest of her life.

The very next day, I found in a closet something that I had been looking for for a year--my favorite exercise music--Tina Turner's Simply the Best. I had looked and looked and looked. I couldn't just replace it because it's hard to find casettes these days. I work out in the pool with my casette player in a waterproof pouch designed for just that. The pouch is not big enough for a CD player. Alas, I had been relegated to exercising without Tina. But now I have her back.

Yes, there is a tie in with the subject of your post. <g> Here are the lyrics from my favorite track from that tape.

"What You Get Is What You See"

SOME BOYS GOT THE LOOK OF THE GREEK ADONIS
SOME BOYS TRY TALK YOU OFF YOUR FEET
SOME BOYS THINK THEY`RE GODS GIFT TO WOMEN
SOME BOYS THINK THEY`RE SWEET ENOUGH TO EAT

TRY TO CHANGE THE HABIT OF A LIFETIME
DON`T EVEN TRY
`COS WHEN YOU CUT DOWN DEEPER THAN THE ICING
YOU REALISE

[CHORUS]
WHAT YOU GET IS WHAT YOU SEE
AIN`T NOTHING MORE TO IT
AND IF YOU WANNA LOVE A WOMAN LIKE ME
IT TAKES A MAN TO DO IT
IF WHAT YOU GET IS WHAT YOU SEE
WHEN I DON`T WANT YOUR KIND OF LOVE

SOME GUYS GOT LIPS THAT YOU CAN`T HELP KISSING
SOME GUYS GOTTA SMILE THAT YOU CAN`T RESIST
SOME GUYS GOTTA BUILD A REPUTATION
THEY JUST WANNA ADD YOU TO THE LIST

YOU GOTTA LOT OF PHYSICAL ATTRACTION
I CAN`T DENY
BUT CAN YOU GUARANTEE ME SATISFACTION
WELL I`M STILL WAITING, WAITING, WAITING, WAITING, WAITING

[CHORUS]

SO LET ME SEE YOUR CARDS ON THE TABLE
BEFORE I BUY
I ALWAYS READ THE WRITING ON THE LABEL
SO GIVE ME REASON TO BELIVE THERE`S MORE TO YOU
THAN MEETS THE EYE

[CHORUS]

THERE`S NOTHING MORE TO IT
IT TAKES A MAN, TAKES A MAN
I DON`T WANT YOUR KIND OF LOVE
THERE`S NOTHING MORE TO IT
