For quite a while now, There have been words about pushing me into the “proverbial well“.
And I have begun to give some thought to it, lately.
Although not quite in the same sense.
My thoughts are more along the lines of “what if.. “;
You know, What if they find me a… What if I end up getting a… *GASP* …non-technical wife.

The mighty oceans of the world ran sere.
The flora had withered.
The cattle wallowed with no discernible source of sustenance.
The forests of the world seemed to have started a conflagration on their own.
With no end in sight, It seemed to be redolent of a ghastly holocaust.
The Earth people stared bewildered, at the merciless dilapidation.
There can only be one explanation. But it just made no sense.
None at all.
Sexism, Anyone?

I used to be a feminist.
I mean, who wouldn’t like women? 😉

It can happen, you know?!
I was perusing through Barron’s wordlists, as usual.
And an ordinary day just turned a little suckier as I encountered this –
I quote from Barron’s 23:2 [yeah, That’s wordlist 23, page 2 :P]
Husband(v) – Conserve, Spare, Save.
Husbandry(n) – Frugality, thrift.
