Husband's and Wife's diaries......
Wife's Diary:
Tonight, I thought Bob was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner.
I was shopping with my friends all day long; and I was a little late for our "date."
Conversation wasn't flowing, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late; but he made no comment on it.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 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 slightly, 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.
Husband's Diary:
Boat wouldn't start, can't figure it out.
Here's one from over a hundred years ago.
When you serve for over 35 years one learns lots of naughty rhymes
Our officer inspected the parade today
and he came up to me in his usual way
and said "That horse is too thin and it has a bad cough."
I said "You're too fat so you'd better f*ck off!"
And in Australia we were singing, “Do you know the way to Cam Ranh Bay?”
But then so many here never served and don’t know what military jargon means.

For true.
"Trust me gloves work"
savage, WIKKID savage![]()
(double well for chainsaw al)
So true....
And we have kevlar gloves, chaps, helmets, faceguards, etc in every shop building......and EVERYONE is trained to use them, always....... but it's that "I'll just make this one cut" that'll getcha'! This particular saw has such a long bar that you physically cannot touch yourself with it, it hits the ground before you can cut your foot.... so I just reached out..... didn't even think about derailing and flanging 4ft of fangs back around my own neck....
As Francis referred to "the lathe" in another thread...... I've worn gloves exactly ONE TIME when working on my lathe, I'd been digging in the steel pile around the shop, came in and I flipped the lathe on and reached out with a 4" hunk of sanding belt and got sucked in. I look down at my thumb right now and can still count 9 stitch scars.
But I still have a working thumb
Thank You Lord
