Hi. Hello. How are you today?
Your fine? Oh, all right, me too. Just honkey dory fine too.
Fine is a word to define a million thoughts. Fine should be a forbidden answers to the classic "how are you." My favorite is asking a person who looks really pissed off how they are doing and they respond in a brisk FINE. Warning, move away from this fine as quickly as possible.
I think woman have the entire "I'm fine" perfected. When hearing this from a woman friend, I've found you must pay attention to the tone, quickness or drawn out way of how she said it, and especially the look in her eye's. A slow fine, can say, I'm whooped tired and have a million things left to do today. A tense fine could mean she's ready to kill the next person who touches a nerve, and crisp high pitched fine can be translated as a fu*# off. I find great interest in translating everyone's fines. I heard 6 this morning at the office, it was fine fun.

By the way, I haven't sported any new journals I've found lately on my journal. This seems like a fine day to do such a thing. Just a couple, although I should list about 20 I've found lately~~~
Have you all missed the zany pages of Tilly over at Adventures of a desperately fat housewife ? If you haven't stopped by there, I highly recommend it. The woman has a knack for writing a story that you can't get enough of. I once commented that I didn't think screen writers could come up with better material then her real life escapades. I suggest everyone sponge up her writing now, before an editor discovers her and she's not allowed to write anymore for free.
Now, she's the well known in the world of Journals,but did you know Floralilia also has a journal that highlights certain paragraphs or sayings of other journals? succulent wisdom - juicyness from j-land It is a wonderful place to discover other journals and writers. I look forward to seeing highlighted journals and their wonderful words. I believe you can also recommend to her writings you've found. I've seen them and she calls them "Drive by's"
I've found this writers attention to detail, and musings of everything from the local neighborhood to the seven deadly sins interesting and thought provoking reading. It's good to read that which takes your mind in and tosses it around a bit and sits you back in your chair. Take a peek at Hadons words at The Hadonfield Myers Experience, if you haven't already found his popular pages.
Derek over at Celebration of My Exhistance is a new journal I've been following for a while. I love his pictures and his writings of memories and daily life. He's a good soul and you can feel it shining off his pages. He takes a peek into inner workings, outer workings and also gets a person thinking.

I've had better. I've had worse.
Could always be either.
Thanks for askin'! :P
I facilitated a "survivors" goup for many years. "Fine" had a quick translation - "Fxxxed up, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional". Members didn't pull the "fine" response too many times. Paulette
With Judi, her first answer is always... always "fine".... I just ignore the first answer and ask the question again. If I get "fine" again, I ask again, telling her that fine tells me nothing. It annoys her, but sometimes, if I am lucky, I get a real answer. (Judi's explanation, which I do understand, is that before this part of her life, no one wanted to hear any answer but "fine". We are doing things differently now.)
Peace, Virginia
I read all those journals you listed!
I recently discovered Tilly's, and I
just love it!

I have that problem. I say fine when i'm not. Its especially hard because, i'm no actor, and when i'm at work I can't say my foot aches or my wrist is killing me. My father once told me to say what I feel (when I was depressed), and I tried and it helped, but I have since reverted back to the old way because of my job.
guilty as charged............ :):):) judi
Yup, I do say "I'm fine" out of habit but it is so easy to tell if I am not because I wear my heart/emotions on my sleeves...
Thanks for recommending these fine journals. I'm off now to check them out.
I'm well... Thanks for asking.

I LOVED this Rebecca. A certain person I know used to be famous for "I'm fine" being one of nature's warning signs.....like a rattlesnake rattling, a dog baring its teeth, or a skunk cocking its tail back!
She shall remain unnamed as I have not heard that phrase in years and don't wish to resurrect it tonight:)

I'm not fine, doing alright though....
Thanks for the heads up on new journals, I never have much time to find them myself so I rely on the kind props from the pages I do visit.
