Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation was not flowing so I suggested 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 was not 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 behaviour I don't know why he didn't say, "I love u 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 am almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.  My life is a disaster.





Motorcycle won't start.......can't figure out why.

A judge working a double-homicide case tells the defendant, “You’re charged with beating your wife to death with a hammer.”

“You bastard!” yells a voice from the back of the courtroom.

“You’re also charged with killing your mother-in-law with a hammer,” says the judge.

“Bastard!” the same person yells.

The judge addresses the man sitting in the back of the courtroom.“Sir, one more outburst and I’ll charge you with contempt.”

“I’m sorry, Your Honor,” says the man. “But I’ve been this bastard’s neighbor for 10 years, and every time I asked to borrow a hammer, he said he didn’t have one.”

Well now...here is something I never knew before, and now that I know it, I feel like sharing it with my more intelligent friends on PJ, in the hope they, too, will feel edified. Is not history more fun when you know something about it?

Before the battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers.
Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the draw the renowned English longbow and they would be incapable of fighting in future.

This famous English longbow was made of native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "Plucking the Yew" or "Pluck Yew".

Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving the middle fingers at the defeated French saying " See, we can still Pluck Yew"!

Since " Pluck Yew" is difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative "F", and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one finger salute.

It is also because of the pleasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird".  It is still an appropriate salute to the French today.

And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing. [/color][/size][/b]

Japanese researchers have invented a speech-jamming gadget that painlessly forces people into silence.

Kazutaka Kurihara of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, and Koji Tsukada of Ochanomizu University, developed a portable "SpeechJammer" gun that can silence people more than 30 meters away.

The device works by recording its target's speech then firing their words back at them with a 0.2-second delay, which affects the brain's cognitive processes and causes speakers to stutter before silencing them completely.

Describing the device in a research paper published Feb. 28 at arXiv.org, Kurihara and Tsukada wrote, "In general, human speech is jammed by giving back to the speakers their own utterances at a delay of a few hundred milliseconds. This effect can disturb people without any physical discomfort, and disappears immediately by stopping speaking."

They found that the device works better on people who were reading aloud than engaged in "spontaneous speech" and it cannot stop people making meaningless sounds, such as "ahhh," that are uttered over a long time period.

Kurihara and Tsukada suggested the speech-jamming gun could be used to hush noisy speakers in public libraries or to silence people in group discussions who interrupt other people's speeches.

"There are still many cases in which the negative aspects of speech become a barrier to the peaceful resolution of conflicts," the authors said.
