Love & Hearbreak in 6 words (Read 264 times)

    During my run (see, I have a running connection) this afternoon, I listened to "Talk of the Nation." THe guests were from Smith magazine, where there's an online feature of folks writing in their 6 word memoirs on love and heartbreak. The concept comes from a Hemingway 6 word short story: "Baby shoes for sale. Never worn." Some of them were funny, some sad--I thought I'd share: "This could be love. You in?" "Even angry, toes touching in bed." " 'I love you' is not enough." "Tried men, tried women, love cats." "He stayed after Katrina. I couldn't." "Wanted a knight. Got Don Quixote." "We don't argue. He's just wrong." "It was love at third sight." "Love you. You're right. I'm sorry." No more psychos. Or Boy Scouts." grins, A

          Long-suffering Mrs. PBJ is always right.
            My wife loved the one: "Tried men, tried women, love cats" Hope that doesn't mean anything ! Shocked Never did like that darn cat Evil grin Hemingway is one of my favorites. Did he lose a baby ? or is there another meaning? Larry

              Loved the cat one. You know those stick people stickers that folks put on their cars to show how many family members they have? You know, a Dad figure, a Mom figure, three or four gender specific kids, a dog and cat? Kind of like a brag about how big their family is? Anyway I hate those things, but the other day I saw one on a small car, it was just a woman and a cat. That was her family. I thought it was great. "One love, two loves, no love" "I love you, now go away" "I love everyone I meet, almost" "Love for sale, cash only please"
