Secret Language
After I got married I had to learn a whole new language. When my wife says, “I’ll be OK” – it really means I’m not OK right now, you really need to get away from me.” Extra cleaning means I’ve really messed up. There is so much in this new language that I don’t understand yet.
This secret language isn’t just between a husband and wife. In the early 90′s I was a director for a summer camp for the disabled. I found that they had a secret language that they just expected others to know. We attempted to teach them to help the non disabled community understand them.
I was so impressed with one man. He was a deaf man I worked with when I was in the Navy. He went out of his way to help others understand him. He taught them sign language.
I have 2 questions:
Do you have a secret language? What is it?
Do you help your spouse or those around you understand your communication?Interesting:
The USS New York has 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center.
To be commissioned in 2008
I find this interesting. Hydroden is always at an 45 degree angel from Oxygen.
Evidence that God 1st created Mickey Mouse. lolStudy backs dinosaur-bird relation theory
BOSTON (UPI) — U.S. scientists have sequenced DNA from a 68 million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex and found support for the theory that dinosaurs are related to birds.
Here’s my take on dinosaurs: First I don’t think animals and man is millions of years old. The earth? The creation account puts in in terms of thousands of years verses millions. Before the great flood the earth was tropical. Lizards don’t stop growing and since the earth was tropical the animals became huge.

Angle… lol Gotta watch that spell checker it’ll get ya every time. lol

LOL at Mickey!!
Definitely interesting… Have you told the world you don’t like coffee?
I wonder how 24 tons of steel are going to be used.
man I would have never guessed, I dont like (or drink) coffee either!
haha… that crazy mouse
I, too, will pray for her healing.

I am so impressed that they named the ship the USS New York.
La La La….
God’s designs are awesome.
When I draw that on the overhead (I teach physical science in high school) I show them Mickey Mouse, then I turn it over and show them how my grandmother looks when she’s pulling weeds. They get a huge kick out of it. It’s silly, but laughter keeps them interested.
PS: It’s her big rear and her little legs, not a frontal shot. Just in case you were wondering…
Haha!
Good one. Mickey Mouse…
Lol! That’s funny!
mickey mouse is cute!
You mean Walt Disney ripped off the idea of M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E?????
My secret language sometimes is silence. It means…. leave me alone for now.
Not as friendly as you thought I was, am I.
I like your lizard theory. It totally makes sense, biblically and scientifically.
LOL! Good post – gave me a smile when I needed it most! As for secret language – at the moment mine is the frying pan – lol!
I am sure I have a secret language of some sort. So secret, even I don’t know about it!
Here’s my take on the age of the earth. I’m a science teacher and cannot deny what I see in the evidence. However, we don’t know how long the “void” lasted. We don’t see gas, but it’s there. Maybe gas was in this void? Essentially every element had to start from hydrogen. If the gas was there for billions of years before God did anything with it, who would know? If He built the elements from stuff that was billions of years old, it would already seem old. Just as if I build a house from wood I take from an old barn. The wood is old, therefore my house will be made of old things. And if those things were tested, they would date test as old. If the earth is made from material that is billions of years old, then the things found in it and on it would test that way also. I’m ok with our earth being millions or billions of years old. I’m even ok with “big bang” because I know who lit the match.
PS: I don’t see my grandmother up there. LOL
Also, yes, I have a secret language. Apparently, I’m the only one who speaks it though. It’s about as useless as a lead balloon.
I try not to use a secret language… when you are the only female in the house, its useless… but somehow telling them staight out doesn’t work either… now if I could somehow fit it to the tune of something by metallica, they might learn the words… but I don’t know if they would understand them! LOL
One of the things they taught us in nursing school, is to pay close attention to tone of voice and body language because the words are the smaller part of the message. I tend to be a little stone faced monotone talker. Sometimes, I have to add expression to my voice for my kids to hear me. (That means I yell)
I think that’s way kewl about the U.S.S. New York, I had read about it. Only fitting, I think that they gave it that name. 9/11 changed my life. I got involved w/the Red Cross, and went and help in the recovery effort, and have stayed with them. God moved in my heart, I’ll tell ya~! Take care & God bless.
My secret language is kind of similar to yours with your wife…I think mine is more body language, though. If I’m slumped over on the couch not talking with a remote in my hand, then hubby knows to let me have my time. I start picking up stuff when I’m frustrated as well just to get my mind somewhere else. Also, a lot of irritated sighing means I need help with something. =) I have been trying to help in the decoding of the language just by saying, ‘I’m really grumpy right now so I apologize in advance for anything that I might do or say that will be rude or hurt your feelings.’ He does the same with me so it works out. =)
Saying Hi…
When I was 3 and my brother was 2, he would talk to me in baby language and I would tell my mother that “Gaga” (that was the name I had for him) wants an drink, or a cookie, etc… I don’t remember the language now though!!!
hi waz ^ it’s brittany
Interesting…….did you see I just posted on Dinosaurs-Birds in my last (Protected) post? I AGREE with your conclusion, BTW. Check out my post, the one about WYOMING……
secret language?
haha, I win for complexity in one. But in writing, I don’t usually use that language….it is with eyes, sounds, and movements.
As to the creation of the time, I believe it was much more than scholars of the Bible have agreed on. For quite a simple and overlooked reason as well.
If the universe were only 8,000 years old, then we would not be able to see the stars we do.
As you well know, a stars light can only travel one light year per year.
Thus it is fair to say that the farthest star we can see, however many lightyears that star is, is how old the universe is.
After a quick google, I came out with this (it’s a blog, if you really feel a distrust to it, google it yourself, but this is a fair estimate) “2.5 million light years – the distance to the Andromeda galaxy.”
Yeah I believe too that lizards of today were dinosaurs in the past…
I was in no way limiting where God placed the stars. That would be my stupidest point to a Christian ever made. I was limiting the space traveled by the light omitted by that same star.

RYC: It’s hard to single out a single story about 9/11, but the ones that touched me most were the ones who actually were on the street when it occurred, and in some cases, had to run for their lives. One man (a street vendor) slipped and fell and hurt his leg pretty badly, and then ended up having a stroke. I know all of those people (like the rest of the nation) will never forget the images of that day. I consider it an honor that I was able to go and help. Take care & God bless!
Actually, my boyfriend is working in Germany, which is why I’m going. Thanks for your prayers for my mom. Regarding Nigeria: Perhaps you could tell Rich that if he wants to make a positive impact there, and they have superstitions regarding puppets, don’t use puppets. You can’t teach a people group to disregard their supertitions that they’ve had for hundreds of years in one short-term mission trip. You’ll do a lot more damage then good. They will probably not even trust you or want to hear from you. Rather then attempt to change them, change your method to a way they’ll understand and/or identify with. Otherwise, you’re just weird white people with strange ideas. –I’m not trying to sound mean, I’m just passionate about Africa and Africans, having grown up there.
ryc : cast iron – that gives me an idea
lol!
Mickey Mouse! that’s so awesome. I will remember that.
I do take the bible literally and believe that the earth is young. It’s hard to imagine people walking alongside dinasours such as “Behemuth” without imagining about Jurassic Park.
my parents created some secret words when we were little, words that signaled “need to go to the bathroom and poop”, etc. It took us a while to unlearn those words and realize they’re not actually real whenever we’d mention them to other people and they wouldn’t understand.
