Go ahead. Oh, the pressure. I'm most of the way through my pot sticker lunch. They were delicious. Safeway carries a brand called Heart Select. They're amazingly healthy. And just as delicious as the traditional ones. I recommend them. Oh. That's not what you were waiting for? I'm not sure how helpful I can be. When I use the expression, you guys, I don't intend any gender/sex. To me, the expression is like the Southern y'all, just the plural of you. I would be just as likely to address a group of women with that phrase as a mixed group or a group of men. I assume that's also the case with E. However. There was a gender/sex based discussion going on here concurrent with the continued discussion of E's question about the blonde. Sometimes when two discussions are going on concurrently, overtones from one slop over into the other. I was not following the menopause discussion contemporaneously so I don't think I'm in a position to assess whether or not a little bit of the menopause frame of mine slipped into E's choice of words in the blonde discussion or not. Probably not, but I suppose it is theoretically possible that it occurred subconsciously. Karen
