Tom, I think it is a female thing... I know very few men who do that... In fact I cannot think of any off hand. I don't like it because I don't like answering the questions... I know it is why I shy away from making friends.... so, you think you would shut them down??? Make them stop asking? as a man, think about how you would (or should say it)... I'm asking because I'd like to try responding to people the way a man might.

I'd probably start off nice and say something like "that's far too personal" or "that's my personal business". If it continued or became embarrassing, I might elevate it to something like "you need to mind your own business" or more rude, "I'll send you a telegram if I want you to know." ;)

Thanks Tom.. :) not funny to me. :) I get really uncomfortable when I talk to people I'd like to be friends with because the questions just keep coming.. they want to know all about me. I want them to know enough to feel secure that I'm not a mass murderer or a criminal, and maybe talk about some of the things we have in common... other than that, I really don't like to tell people things. not unless I offer the info up.

Good to see you Yvie ~ you have been missed!:hug:

And you as well my dear sister Gail. Where's Dave? Hi Connie and Tom. Speaking of sharing personal things....it is common for us as Christians to be tempted to gossip under the pretense of asking specifics for prayer. When I was diagnosed with depression, I didn't attend church for months for ffear that someone would ask me was I had wrong with me. Some people are insistent even when you say "it's personal" but most will back off with that phrase.
I finally managed to face my fears and led the morning worship service with Alan this past Sunday. I simple said (from the pulpit) that I appreciate their continued prayers for a personal illness and the recovery is ongoing...no one pushed for more. It's good to be back in the house of the Lord with the family of God.
Have a blessed day folks!

I am off to bring my precious Penny for her beauty appointment. :D


On Sunday our washing machine died after 20+ years of service :eek:
Hubby is off work and nursing a cold virus, but when I return, he must help me prepare our cellar and old washing machine to be removed at the end of the week (for when the new one is delivered) ;)

God bless your upcoming trip Shirley :pray:

I hope you are all having a nice day ~ BBL :wave:
