bloke n. pron. "blowk" (English); "bloke" (the rest of us). The closest American equivalent is guy, and it is pretty close. A bloke is a joe public, a random punter - any old guy off the street. Where it differs from guy is that it can't apply to your friends. You can't walk up to a group of your mates and say "Hi blokes, what's up?", as they'd all peer at you as if you'd been reading some strange cross-channel dictionary. The most common usage of the word bloke is almost definitely in the phrase "some bloke in the pub".

Thanks for the definition, ya bloke. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the answers. I'm spoiled too, zoe. God was definately good to me. Never been with anyone but my wife and can't see how i could. The only thing i look into singles and see is the freedom of responsibility (probably not even true). No wife, no kid, no stinkin' cats (i hate her cats, i want a German Shephard).

We don't have any real marital problems (we've shared a bank account since we were old to enough to have bank accounts). And i'm always wrong Okay, not really. We compromise and i think we're both pretty mature for our age. (I work at a hearing center with all my co-workers being over 50. I see more eye to eye with them than i do with my twenty-something friends).

Now — with Bi-Polar brother — you will have your hands full. Is there an organization like the one I work at in your local area that can help?

Not sure. To be honest, i don't think he's bipolar. he and my wife were both adopted and he wasn't exactly taken care of (hence why he is with us). His younger biological brother still lives with their mom (adopted mom) and he's a spoiled brat. So Josh (my son/brother) sees that and...well you can imagine.

Anyway, when we got him he was on all kinds of medicines. Been a little over six months now and we've cut it in half. Hoping to get rid of it completely. But he sometimes asks questions like, "Why didn't mom want me," and , "If i was a better boy would she have kept me?"

Tears me up. I don't know how to answer it. Not allowed to say the truth, "Your moms a loser." I gotta keep dodging it. And he's not a bad kid. He's a little rambunctious (spelling) but what nine year old isn't?

Phew... I guess i needed to vent...

Yes, I suppose the freedom of responsibility to kids...but then again, EVERY responsible you do have, you have alone....silly things like taking out the trash, paying the mortgage, mowing the lawn (although I do like that)....

YOu have the privilege of sharing each other's burdens, never forget that....

As to venting...I can certainly understand that!! Friday afternoon keeping teenagers focused in class? especially those seniors who can only focus on "10 more classes!!"

True, true. I think of ecc. Not sure of the verse, i will find it and post it.

Can't imagine. Glad i only have one and not a class full.

Here it is

Ecc 4:11-12

"11Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strandsis not easily broken."

The pastor read that at my wedding. I love it.

If I ever decide to live out in the woods with a wife this will come in handy. Just kidding.

I've heard it said that one of the three strands is Jesus.

The 16 year olds are saying...what's a MacGyver?

[zoegirl]

And I would reply....

"Only the coolest TV show and character ever! He could take a piece of string, a paperclip, and some household cleaner and build a trap for the bad guys!"

These kids weren't even born in the 80s'!

But, Amazingly, the 80's are back....my students actually likes when I play my 80s CD;s during labs!
