Wow! And...10% goes to Lambda Legal. Such a deal!
Did you buy anything for a that special person?
No. My special person prefers Tiffany's, as she told me the other day when
we passed the local one.

We shopped at Tiffany's last year. My wife enjoys necklaces and
bracelets, and once or twice a year she considers it a treat to
acquire some upper-end costume piece selling for several hundred
dollars to maybe something just into four figures. She obviously has
humble tastes, or she would never have married me.....
""Are you nuts?" she replied. "That's going to cost more than either of
us would be comfortable spending. Yes, it's pretty but we need to be
find something closer to our nornal price range."

No offense, Chuckster, but you ought to stay away from "dialogue." I'll
bet dollars to donuts your wife doesn't speak so stiffly.- Hide quoted text -

You'd lose. Send me a dollar, I'll use to buy a cheap donut and spring
for my own coffee. While chowing down at Krispy Kreme, I'll
contemplate the nature of donuts in general. Donuts tend to be all
puffed up around the edges and are perhaps even slathered with
colorful frosting, but upon careful inspection, one typically
discovers there's no substance whatsoever in the middle. Somewhat like
a lot of criticisms. :-)

Are you saying Mrs. Chuck speaks the way you quoted her?
Hard to believe.- Hide quoted text -

She probably peppered it with some er's, um's, and etc. :-)
She reads a lot, and commands a good vocabulary. I don't consider her
speech unusually "stiff", but then again we have been married for
almost ever and she seems perfectly natural to me.

I'm not talking about "er's" and "um's." I just believe she is more
conversational than your quotes indicate. Betcha I am right.

Here's a thought.

Howzabout rewriting the dialogue the way you think it should sound and
let us see it? Not exactly on topic but it might be a fun mid-winter
excercise for all concerned.
