Good Summer

Well, I have been having a rather good and entertaining summer. So far, I have only had one comment that was in the negative. A man that I have known for many years who is a bit younger than me seen my nail polish and his eyes got real wide. After a couple of seconds he blurted out, "men don't wear nail polish". I just grinned at him and walked away. As I say there has been lots of unexpected positive comments. Generally I get the good responses from females (is that not an interesting word, female fe and male, hummmm).
Webster says:
Main Entry: 1fe·male
Pronunciation: \ˈfē-ˌmāl\
Function: adjective
Date: 14th century

1 a (1) : of, relating to, or being the sex that bears young or produces eggs (2) : pistillate b (1) : composed of members of the female sex (the female population) (2) : characteristic of girls or women (composed for female voices) (a female name)
2 : having some quality (as gentleness) associated with the female sex
3 : designed with a hollow or groove into which a corresponding male part fits

— fe·male·ness noun

There is however, that "male" part... They do not say where that came from, hummmmm...

Well, I know where it comes from:
The word female comes from the Latin femella, the diminutive form of femina, meaning "woman," which is not actually related to the word "male." In the late 14th century, the English spelling was altered so that the word paralleled the spelling of "male."

Most "females" the ones in definition 1 above, say things like, "oh, I like your polish, who did that for you"? I then get to say, I did it... We also compare handbags and shoes. It becomes lots of fun...
More later,
