wives....gotta love 'em

You might have seen this, but I find it sooo funny and TRUE!!!!

Words Women Use.. And What They Mean!


FINE

This is the word we use at the end of any argument that we feel we are right about but need to shut you up. NEVER use fine to describe how a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of those arguments.


FIVE MINUTES

This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so I feel that it's an even trade.

NOTHING

This means something and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with the word "Fine".

GO AHEAD (with raised eyebrows)

This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine".

GO AHEAD (normal eyebrows)

This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care". You will get a raised eyebrow "Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.

LOUD SIGH

This is not actually a word, but is still often a verbal statement very misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing".

SOFT SIGH

Again, not a word, but a verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" are one of the few things that some men actually understand. She is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe and she will stay content.

THAT'S OKAY

This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can say to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you retributions for what ever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and used in conjunction with a raised eyebrow "Go Ahead". At some point in the near future when she has plotted and planned, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.

PLEASE DO

This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance to tell the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay".

THANKS

A woman is thanking you. Do not faint, just say you're welcome.

THANKS A LOT

This is much different than "Thanks". A woman will say, "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have hurt her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh". Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh", as she will only tell you "Nothing".

 

25 Secrets of Endless Love

1. We remember the moments in life, not the days.

2. Face-to-face conversations don't work by phone.

3. Gifts are not a substitute for caring.

4. People are not yo-yos. Drop them, and they may not return.

5. When kids are ready to talk, be ready to listen.

6. An ounce of love outweighs a pound of promises.

7. You can prepare your children for life, but you can't live it for them.

8. Uncles and aunts are the parents who didn't give birth to you.

9. A strong marriage is the union of two staunch individualists.

10. Turning your back and walking away ends more than just a conversation.

11. Marrying for money is a high price to pay.

12. Yell at your children and get the same in return.

13. If you take things for granted, you won't have them for very long.

14. Caring should be demonstrated 365 days a year, not just on holidays.

15. A well-fed child can still be starved for affection.

16. The most important things a child can inherit are fond memories.

17. Sharing an hour of memories with an elder is often better than a week's worth of medicine.

18. The two greatest time savers are saying, "I don't know" and "I was wrong."

19. Watch your children grow, and they will teach you what you've taught them.

20. Never go to bed before settling an argument.

21. There's a difference between nurturing your children and smothering them.

22. Relationships are built on the little things.

23. If we give our children everything, we deprive them of aspirations.

24. Celebrate holidays as a family.

25. Never stop courting your spouse.

Helpful hint for men!!

Friends-known and unknown


 

I just feel the need to express my love for the world and its people....my hubby would say its hormones LOL....But seriously,though....I feel this world is lacking so much.... I sometimes feel helpless and overwhelmed by it all.....hubby is right ?You think? :-))))






We May Not Always Realize 

We may not always realize 
That every thing we do, 
Affects not only our lives 
But touches others, too! 

For a little bit of thoughtfulness 
That shows someone you care, 
Creates a ray of sunshine 
For both of you to share. 

Yes, every time you offer 
Someone a helping hand ... 
Every time you show a friend 
You care and understand ... 

Every time you have 
A kind and gentle word to give ... 
You help someone find beauty 
In this precious life we live. 

For happiness brings happiness 
And loving ways bring love; 
And Giving is the treasure 
That contentment is made of.
