I've said both myself. The reason I say "one" and the general you is to make sure the person whose post I am responding to knows I am not accusing them of something or targeting them specifically. So many people tend to take comments personally, (and sometimes as personal attacks), even when it's obvious they aren't meant that way.

Well, if you heard him say that I guess you could be reassured that he doesn't have another wife stashed somewhere.

Kind of the way I feel when I hear someone use the expression "vacay" for a vacation.

Referring to your "hubby" is annoying too.

See at 1:52 in why needing to move when compelled is essential - like saving the world or something.

Hey, that one stoned-out hippie in '67, who came up to me after my rappings, and said, "I can really get behind where you're coming from", with a serious grin, well, he, he was gee gee genius!

I know!
