    Well my daughter's boyfriend refered to them as his nono squares when she kicked him.....Lol and even though I do not have any physically I got bigger ones than a lot of men I have had the displeasure of coming into contact with....as far as weaker women....are there any? Lol Jk. But if you think about it. With child birth and every thing else the weakest woman is still stronger than the strongest man. What is it Ron White says? oh yeah...."If I ever had a period I would die! I would be running around saying my b**ls are bleedin my b**ls are bleedin" Or you can take it from the woman's perspective. Cant remember her name but she says you see men all the time that die from loss of blood in the ER heck I lost just that much in one day and still cleaned the house :biggrin_2559:

    LMAO....You are more than welcome! Which will be the reason why women even though we don't have any physically will always have bigger ones! Lol :biggrin_2559::biggrin_25525:

    (1) Styro cup, (2) ice cubes packed to the top, (3) your favorite soft drink, then sip it slowly and eat the ice cubes -- until you can safely and legally pull over and get some rest.

    Nibbling on ice and sipping a cold drink (non-alky of course) worked well for me until I could park and do what the law demands of you -- get plenty of rest and d**n the dispatcher.

    I did not read all of the responses here. My way of dealing with the situation was power naps.Pull into a rest area,set an alarm clock for a 15 minute nap.Lean over the wheel and doze off,when the alarm goes off I am pretty well refreshed,good for a couple of hundred more miles.This worked for me many times.

    Physically strong women are spooky!
    Mentally strong women are sexy!

    Still quite confused I looked up the word Women in the encyclopedia and became even more confused. But in the end I did find this somewhat enlightening poem and thought I would share.

    Strong Women

    A strong woman is a woman who is straining
    A strong woman is a woman standing
    on tiptoe and lifting a barbell
    while trying to sing "Boris Godunov."
    A strong woman is a woman at work
    cleaning out the cesspool of the ages,
    and while she shovels, she talks about
    how she doesn't mind crying, it opens
    the ducts of the eyes, and throwing up
    develops the stomach muscles, and
    she goes on shoveling with tears in her nose.
    A strong woman is a woman in whose head
    a voice is repeating, I told you so,
    ugly, bad girl, #####, nag, shrill, witch,
    ballbuster, nobody will ever love you back,
    why aren't you feminine, why aren't
    you soft, why aren't you quiet, why aren't you dead?
    A strong woman is a woman determined
    to do something others are determined
    not be done. She is pushing up on the bottom
    of a lead coffin lid. She is trying to raise
    a manhole cover with her head, she is trying
    to butt her way through a steel wall.
    Her head hurts. People waiting for the hole
    to be made say, hurry, you're so strong.
    A strong woman is a woman bleeding
    inside. A strong woman is a woman making
    herself strong every morning while her teeth
    loosen and her back throbs. Every baby,
    a tooth, midwives used to say, and now
    every battle a scar. A strong woman
    is a mass of scar tissue that aches
    when it rains and wounds that bleed
    when you bump them and memories that get up
    in the night and pace in boots to and fro.
    A strong woman is a woman who craves love
    like oxygen or she turns blue choking.
    A strong woman is a woman who loves
    strongly and weeps strongly and is strongly
    terrified and has strong needs. A strong woman is strong
    in words, in action, in connection, in feeling;
    she is not strong as a stone but as a wolf
    suckling her young. Strength is not in her, but she
    enacts it as the wind fills a sail.
    What comforts her is others loving
    her equally for the strength and for the weakness
    from which it issues, lightning from a cloud.
    Lightning stuns. In rain, the clouds disperse.
    Only water of connection remains,
    flowing through us. Strong is what we make
    each other. Until we are all strong together,
    a strong woman is a woman strongly afraid.
