I love it! Since we don't go out much here in Norway I don't hear it much. Soon! Another code is when he tells me maybe I should go for a walk or a drive or something. A not so subtle code that says, "cool off!".Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11247080850550914860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-77004480500857156122010-10-02T16:49:47.455-07:002010-10-02T16:49:47.455-07:00I meant to comment on your superior tip of setting...I meant to comment on your superior tip of setting the table. It does make it look like you've got it all together. We fed the missionaries a few weeks ago and I set the table before they got there. Once they arrived and started asking what they could do, I could say, "Oh, just this, and this, and this, and this and I've got it all done. Don't worry about it!" Having the table set really did make it look like it was under control. <br /><br />(Maybe Chris should take note that if the table is set, that's probably code for, "I don't know what I'm doing tonight!" Especially since it's usually his job!)Deidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01181514421028402144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-44725933929860322082010-09-30T08:49:25.319-07:002010-09-30T08:49:25.319-07:00I like your "language" of codes between ...I like your "language" of codes between you and Calvin. He sounds like a very thoughtful husband. Only one thing wrong with him...he is not a lover of potato soup. The only thing I can think of right pertaining to "codes" is that I will ask Ned, when he is done farming for the day, if he brought in the daily newspaper. That means I want to do the crossword puzzle. Thank you for giving me something different to think about today: Codes in relationships.

This Idaho girl can make one mean potato soup!"<br /><br />Chris loves tamales, so he wouldn't be able to resist. I like that Calvin checks in with you; I think it's sweet. With weekly meal plans, I get a willing husband, ready to pitch in whenever I've had one of <i> those </i> days.Deidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01181514421028402144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-1336526467623786442010-09-29T21:50:56.881-07:002010-09-29T21:50:56.881-07:00The code I use just about every Sunday night: &quo...The code I use just about every Sunday night: "Do you want some popcorn?"
