The lady folk are about moments... feelings... and emotions and whether it be birthdays, thansgiving, christmas, or the annual vacation they busy themselves from occasion to occasion year in and year out attempting to capture moments... recreate feelings and moments of the past and create new ones that we can all work to reproduce annually for the rest of our lives.

Sorry to be so frank about it all but I've put a lot of thought into it and that's pretty much what it boils down to.

This is why your question is going to fall largely down these lines... Women... No. Men... Yes.
Yep. That's about it. I love it......the family, doing for them, trying to re-create "the feeling" - - it is all about that. Then, deep down there is always a disappointment or let down and usually, for me, it's because now I'm single.
