Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...wherever in the world you live! I hear you're a chocoholic too - I won't tell a soul! Chocolate is good for the body - and God's Word is good for the soul: "O taste and see that the Lord is good...(Psalm 34:8 KJV)." So please join me for a few moments of fun, food and inspiration - it's all calorie-free (believe that and I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge) and might even make your day!
"Say What You Mean...Mean What You Say!" Paul did - he told the plain, unvarnished, no-fudgin' truth - and it got him in trouble with the very ones to whom he had brought much joy. Happens in our world too - and is there any voice less understood than a woman's?
A bit - or byte - of Internet humor here that speaks for itself. I'm a woman married to a man so I guess that qualifies me to speak - chuckle - we're all guilty of fudging a little when it comes to saying what we really mean - so men, you're not off the hook either.
Enjoy a chuckle and please, this week, let's try to "say what we mean" and "mean what we say" - as Paul did - in Christian love, grace, and yes, even good humor! Any fudging we do better be with the chocolate itself - and a wonderful recipe links follow!!
FINE:
This is the word we use to end an argument. "Fine" means that the
argument
is over, we are right, you should shut 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 there 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.
OH:
This word followed by any statement is trouble. Example; "Oh, let me get
that." Or, "Oh, I talked to him about what you were doing last night."
If
she says, "Oh" before a statement, run, do not walk, to the nearest
exit.
She will tell you that she is "Fine" when she is done tossing your
clothes
out the window, but do not expect her to talk to you for at least 2
days.
"Oh" as the lead to a sentence usually signifies that you are caught in
a
lie. Do not try to lie more to get out of it, or you will get raised
eyebrows "Go ahead" followed by acts so unspeakable that I can't bring
myself to write about them.
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
deciding
on your punishment 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."
