Silence

Post by Oswego John »

The silence on the forum today is deafening. Desperate solutions for desperate situations.

HIS AND HER DIARY FOR THE SAME DAY
(see if this could apply to you)

HER DIARY

Tonight I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it.

Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed , but he didn't say much. I asked him what was wrong; he said "Nothing". I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said that he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it.

On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled lightly and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior. I don't know why he didn't say "I love you, too". When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent.

Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he was distracted and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep, I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.

HIS DIARY

Boat wouldn't start, can't figure out why.

Showed it to my lovely precious spouse.
She blamed it on the guy saying "That's Typical! he should have said honey I have a problem with the boat"
Can't win, no way.
Thanks OJ for a clear insight into human nature.

The difference between men and women

Post by SeaBelle »

"The difference between men and women is that, if given the choice between saving the life of an infant or catching a fly ball, a woman will automatically choose to save the infant, without even considering if there's a man on base."

From "Dave Barry on Baseball" (1996)

There are old sailors and bold sailors, but there are no old, bold sailors.

Reef early and often. It's easier to shake out a reef when one is bored than it is to tuck one in when one is scared.

When your only tool is a hammer, all your problems look like nails.
