Welcome to my blog, or should I say to the ramblings of an old man. I doubt that my ramblings are of much value, but at least I have an opportunity to share them.  So, please be kind and humor me. If nothing else of value stands out in these thoughts, I hope that you at least sense the value I place on a daily walk with the Lord.  That walk is what has provided me with motivation and a sense of purpose throughout my lifetime.  My prayer is that you, too, are experiencing this direction and joy in daily living which is available to everyone who puts his trust in Christ.  So, thanks again for joining me.  Please don't go without leaving some comments here so I can get to know you better as our paths intersect today in this blog.

Guy Talk


I often here husbands and wives say that they don't understand what their spouse is saying or even more importantly, thinking.  I recently found a "Men's Thesaurus" that tries to explain what men mean.  So maybe this will help your marriage, if you need help.  1.  "IT'S A GUY THING"  Translated: "There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical."  2. "CAN I HELP WITH DINNER?" Translated: "Why isn't it already on the table?"    3. "IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO EXPLAIN" Translated: "I have no idea how it works."   4. "TAKE A BREAK, HONEY. YOU'RE WORKING TOO HARD." Translated: "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner."   5. "THAT'S INTERESTING, DEAR." Translated: "Are you still talking?"   6. "YOU KNOW HOW BAD MY MEMORY IS." Translated: "I remember the theme song to 'F Troop,' the address of the first girl I ever kissed, and the vehicle identification number of every car I've ever owned... but I forgot your birthday."   7. "OH, DON'T FUSS -- I JUST CUT MYSELF. IT'S NO BIG DEAL." Translated: "I have actually severed a limb but will bleed to death before I admit that I'm hurt."   8. "HEY, I'VE GOT MY REASONS FOR WHAT I'M DOING." Translated: "And I sure hope I think of some pretty soon."   9. "I CAN'T FIND IT." Translated: "It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless."   10. "WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME?" Translated: "What did you catch me at?"   11. "I HEARD YOU." Translated: "I haven't the foggiest clue what you just said and am hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you don't spend the next three days yelling at me."   12. "YOU KNOW I COULD NEVER LOVE ANYONE ELSE." Translated: "I am used to the way you yell at me and realize it could be worse."   13. "YOU LOOK TERRIFIC." Translated: "Oh, please don't try on one more outfit. I'm starving."   14. "I'M NOT LOST. I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE." Translated: "No one will ever see us alive again."    15. "WE SHARE THE HOUSEWORK." Translated: "I make the messes; she cleans them up."    16. "UH HUH," "SURE, HONEY," OR "YES, DEAR"  Translated: Absolutely nothing. It's a conditioned response.
