Talk is cheap

ok, so i have a friend that i have written about on here before. he's the lawyer, really wants to be with me, but he's long distance and i just don't have the feelings. so, we're talking again. his birthday is coming up and i invited him to come and visit. well, he said he would not come if i didn't say straight out that i wanted to see him. ummm, hello, duh. i just invited you. this is one of the things that gets to me. if i am inviting you to come and visit, doesn't that mean that i want to see you? yes, it does (for those of you that need the clarification).

ok, i can honestly say that i understand what he was trying to do. i know that he wanted to hear me say that i wanted to see him. i understand that, but how many times do i have to tell him that i am not the kind of person that verbalizes her feelings all the time? i am not a talker. i am a shower. i believe talk is cheap and if all you can do is talk than you don't really have a lot going for you, do you?

so, i indulged him. i said, "i want to see you." i still don't know if he is coming, but at least i put a smile on his face. ;)

Of course talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words, however sometimes the combination is necessary. My husband is not verbal like that but sometimes I need to hear it.

co-signing with b-nice. my baby rarely says what I usually need to hear. so i have to prompt him. And i find that he was thinking it... just thought i knew already.

but then again, i'm a glutton for attention... so that could be it too.

Actually, I think you verbalize your feelings too much. You think you do but you don't and he doesn't want to interupt you. But then again, maybe not.

Wah-hoooo!

Most of us were born with 2 ears and 1 mouth so we should listen twice as much as we speak. But seriously...

Every day is a half day, thats why, with 2 ears, we listen as much as we speak.

This reminds me of an old joke...

A horse walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "hay", why the long face?

Re-Wahoo! 2X!

2 fish were swimming in a lake until one runs into a concrete wall. The other looked at him and said "Dam!"

Sorry - wasn't sure I was clear enough in my prior posts.

I know its 513 years after Columbus "claims" he discovered america but not sure if that fell on a monday back then or if Federal holidays existed. He was pretty disrespectful to the locals so we don't have a lot to whine about.

Wa-hoo!!!!

More satisfying than an Atkins luncheon
