Here's a question for those guys lurking out there (peers around, trying to 
see through the electronic fog).

So, we women know what the stereotype is for us, what is it for you?  If DH 
was awake, I'd ask him but he's still happily asleep.  Besides, I'd hear 
the redneck variation on the theme.  C'mon, guys, what's the mental image 
of the "ideal" guy that you live under.

Catherine who still needs a second cup of coffee.  (Way too much email and 
I'm three days behind on the main list....)
