"People who have what they want are fond of telling people who haven't what they want that they really don't want it." - Ogden Nash

Kirstie Alley does the math

Honda announced they’re going to discontinue the Element. They do this periodically.

The sportscaster said every time you see him, Cam Newton is flashing "that million dollar smile." Interesting choice of words in this case.
But hey, if the kid can help out the AZ Cards, fast on their way to a #1 draft pic, who really cares about a little extortion?

Tomorrow is our first official congregational meeting at Pathway. We're just shy of our third birthday but we didn't have a constitution & bylaws until a couple of months ago. At the beginning of the meeting we'll accept our first members - a total of 24 adults. Nice!

We'll spend the rest of the second hour (adult class) working on our list of commandments for resolving marital conflicts. We have three so far:
  • No violence! against persons or things.
  • No profanity or vulgar language
  • No "never," "always," etc.
What commandments would you add to our growing list?

Jack does NOT like the vacuum. Freaks him out.

Busy day tomorrow, with extra stuff in the morning and getting ready for my Seattle trip in the afternoon. Now...I'm done for the day.

A rule we made for ourselves is if one of us comes to the other with an issue/problem, that's the only thing that can be discussed at that time. The person being confronted can't say, "Yeah, well, what about when YOU do...!" LOL Actually, we haven't had to use that in years, but for awhile it was really helpful.

Something else I had to learn was if he's trying to tell me something in a tense moment, to let him finish. Don't jump in and cut him off with my next "point". It seems simple, but it made a big difference. It slows things down, so we can have a discussion instead of an argument.

Good one, Sue.

I read (somewhere) that when a couple starts keeping score, then they're no longer on the same team. And nobody wins.
