Sarge, why did you go and delete your post? Since when a woman doesn't appreciate a compliment? I didn't reply because I didn't want to seem vain by replying to a compliment all the time.
Seriously, what you said was really, really sweet. We women need affirmations from time to time. You may joke and tease but when you compliment, you always say the nicest things. Sarge, don't ever regret when you give compliments.
