The subject line reads: "Offer - Books: Relationship Mending". The books in question are two written by Dr. Phil, and one written by Harley or Farley or something. I wrote the post very clean - titles, hardcover with dust jackets, that kind of thing. That evening I got a couple responses from women that are interested (I have yet to have anyone come by to pick the books up). As I checked the following morning I saw a response from a male e-mailer. I opened this reply to read, "Did they work?"
I do believe this is a reasonable and well thought out response. The books are being given away free, wouldn't you wonder?
I replied, "Too funny. I wondered if someone would ask. The friend that gave them to me appears very happy. I am happily single. We'll have to take her word for it."
His reply this morning, " I figured you'd think I was funny or I was a jerk. I use the old fashioned relationship repair kit so now she's pregnant. Her mother even recently moved in with us."
I thought about replying that maybe he should have given the books a try first. Somehow that seems a moot point. MarlaJ will be stopping by tonight for the books. I hope she's not pregnant.
**Edit: Marla came by. No, she's not pregnant. :) **
I'm all for free stuff, but I wish I didn't have quite so much of it left from when Chris and Emily lived here :-)
ReplyDeleteAren't relationships supposed to get feeble and die...? Hmmm.
Sorry Doug, the concensus is that relationships are supposed to deepen and grow stronger. Unlike chairs.
ReplyDeleteA good relationship will grow stronger and deepen. Good post. I'll check freecycle. There is also a section of free stuff in Craigslist.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas,
