These were deeply funny. The colour chart is absolutely spot on, so to speak. When I have to do some painting and decorating, I can only visualise the usual spectrum, and think just brilliant white is pretty much perfect for most purposes. But when my missus starts to talk about "peach white" and "lemon kiss"...well, I just say "Order it and I will pick it up"...as the conversation has reached its conclusion :) :).

“‘Peach white’ and ‘lemon kiss’” lmao you’ve nailed the proper strategy and sound very much like my husband. 🤪 I’m so happy you enjoyed those. Still one of my most ‘liked’ posts.

How did you collect these memes? Each one is better than the previous. Well done and nicely curated. Thank you!

I lucked out on that. It was the first time doing memes and male vs female is a popular subject. I do an occasional meme post and I look them up at the time of the post. I’m ok now saying they’re more popular than my writing mostly because humor is a lost art. 🤭

I loved void fill and the one about making plans the most, but they’re all so funny. Thank you for the laughter!

Lol the memes were a huge success there are many meme posts if you’re ever feeling down and need a sigh. Lol. Whine Down Wednesday and Mansplaining (international man’s day) are funny too

I’m happy that you enjoyed it! I had mixed emotions at the time about memes being my most popular post ever but since then I’m simply rolling with it. People love comedy!

A very big LOL for these, Cori. hahaha. My wife is an artist. We have this running joke about her teaching me how to really see colours. But hey - we watch Titanic every couple of years and we both sob hopelessly at the end. As for "Meet Joe Black" - omg.

I'm sorry, but the men's emotions are too big

That one was so fun to do. I believe that comedy does more good for lifting spirits than most things.

Best string of memes in months. As the saying goes, don’t stop.

Thank you. Memes seem immensely popular but I think maybe my efforts will be best served erratically so as to keep people on their toes. Lol

This post transcended mores to create laughter. I’m amazed at the response but shouldn’t be because we ALL need to laugh way more! Thank you for commenting.

Thank you. This is by far my most popular post I’ve EVER published. People need laughter as their number one medicine. The two you picked were on my short list of favs too.
