Just some husband and wife jokes....

A couple drove down a country road for several
miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion
had led to an argument and neither of them
wanted to concede their position.

As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and
pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"

"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."


---------------

A husband read an article to his wife about how
many words women use a day... 30,000 to a
man's 15,000.

The wife replied, "The reason has to be because
we have to repeat everything to men...

The husband then turned to his wife and asked,
"What?"


-------------

A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how
you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time."

The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God
made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;

God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!


-------------

Husband and wife were in the midst of a violent
quarrel, and hubby was losing his temper.

"Be careful," he said to his wife. "You will bring
out the beast in me."

"So what?" his wife shot back. "Who is afraid of
a mouse?"

Old Remedies - But Good Ones!

Did you know that...

Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns?

Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong Altoids peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.

Achy muscles from a bout of the flu? Mix 1 Tablespoon of horseradish in A 1/2 cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as a massage oil, for instant relief for aching muscles.

Sore Throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take
1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.

Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer. Just dissolve two tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms. Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost instantly -- even though the product has never been advertised for this use.

Eliminate puffiness under your eyes..... All you need is a dab of Preparation H, carefully rubbed into the skin, avoiding the eyes. The hemorrhoid ointment acts as a vasoconstrictor, relieving the swelling instantly.

Honey remedy for skin blemishes... Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place a band-aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin, sterile, and speeds healing. Works overnight.

Listerine therapy for toenail fungus... Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toe nails looking healthy again.

Easy eyeglass protection... To prevent the screws in eyeglasses from loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear nail polish to the threads of the screws before tightening them.

Coca-Cola cure for rust... Forget those expensive rust removers. Just saturate an abrasive sponge with Coca Cola and scrub the rust stain. The phosphoric acid in the coke is what gets the job done.

Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer... If menacing bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground instantly. KILLS ANTS TOO. JUST SPRAY ALONG THEIR TRAVEL ROUTE.

Smart splinter remover... just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue all over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue.

Hunt's tomato paste boil cure... cover the boil with Hunt's tomato paste as a compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and bring the boil to a head.

Balm for broken blisters... To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few drops of Listerine... a powerful antiseptic.

Heinz vinegar to heal bruises... Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and apply it to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the blueness and speeds up the healing process.

Kills fleas instantly. Dawn dish washing liquid does the trick. Add a few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly. Rinse well to avoid skin irritations. Goodbye fleas.

Rainy day cure for dog odor... Next time your dog comes in from the rain, simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer sheet, instantly making your dog smell springtime fresh.

About a week ago I took a poll asking "How did you meet the last woman that you dated?" 479 men responded (thanks again to those who did). The breakdown was as follows:

>>> 199 MET HER "WHILE OUT."

No surprises there, right?

Meeting a woman "while out" is such a broad, inclusive category (covering everything from work, school, bars, church, etc.) that it's bound to encompass a majority of the votes. It's not very often you meet a woman while staying in and watching TV so this category was a shoe in for the largest percentage of votes.

>>> 79 MET HER THROUGH A DATING SERVICE.

This is a little bit more surprising.

Notice how (relatively) few men met their last "date" through the heavily-marketed and often-used dating services (such as online dating and phone dating). These approaches have thier place, they are mildly effective and useful (though not so effective as marketers might have us believe).

But, I think there is something more effective, much cheaper, and a lot more fun...

>>> 129 MET HER THROUGH A FRIEND.

This is EXACTLY what I suspected (I'm not talking about friends setting each other up on blind dates).

What is the advice you always hear about meeting and picking up women from dating experts, your mom, and, even your buddies?

"If you want to meet women you have to go out and find them. Go to places where there are lots of women (like bars and nightclubs). When you find a woman, start up a conversation, get her number, and give her a call a few days later."

This is what we have pounded into our heads, this is what we tell ourselves we have to do, this is what we try to do.

But, lo and behold, sneaking in the backdoor completely unnoticed we have what proves to be one of the most effective ways to meet women:

THROUGH FRIENDS

Now, stick around and read the rest of this because I'm about to explain why this approach to meeting women is so far superior to every other strategy that you probably won't want to use anything else from now on. I'll also show you how you can use this strategy to (literally) exponentially increase the number of women you meet.

So, let's break this down real quick...

Men are meeting a disproportionately large number of dateable women through their friendswithout even consciously focusing on this approach as a "meet women and pick up chicks" method. What on earth is going on? Why is this so powerful?

I'm sure you've heard of the six degrees of separation. Supposedly, you are connected to anyone else in the US through about six other people. More or less, this just puts a number on the idea that together we all form a very close knit social network.

When you make a friend you open yourself up to all their friends. When you make friends with a friend of your friend... well, you get the idea. You can see how your social network multiplies with very little effort on your part. Statistically speaking, a lot of those new contacts (theoretically, half) are bound to be women.

This is all well and good but exposing yourself to lots of people doesn't necessarily guarantee success (just look at how much lower the numbers are for dating services that expose you to approximately THOUSANDS OF *SINGLE* WOMEN).

So, the magic doesn't lie in the numbers. The power, perhaps, but not the magic.

What truly makes this effective is the massive influence of a little thing called RAPPORT.

Quick marketing lesson...

Rapport is basically trust or a feeling of compatibility between people. Obviously, friends are friends for the simple fact that they have considerable rapport with one another. Corporations exploit this (ever heard of Tupperware parties?) and make BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars each year.

When a friend says to another friend "Hey, this Tupperware makes the coolest "Pfft" sound you ever heard and keeps my lettuce so fresh, so crisp, and so green... it's just fabulous. You've GOT to get you some."

That person is 10, no 100 times more likely to buy that Tupperware than if Kriss Cloninger III (director of Tupperware Corporation) got on the TV and said the exact same thing.

Stop drawing and painting figures the hard way!...

“At Last! You Can Draw People and Figures Perfectly In Any Position…Without a Model”

Long-Lost Manuscript Resurfaces With Over 1016 Detailed Illustrations Of the Bones, Face, Head, Torso, Legs, Hands, and Feet – Covering Every Aspect of Anatomy For the Artist

Dear Artist,

Let’s face it, drawing people and the human body is tough!

There’s no doubt, it’s probably the most difficult lesson for any artist to learn. Too often the study of anatomy is dull and boring so mastering the human figure isn’t even an option. Frankly, figure drawing is the only subject you can’t fake.

Of course, some people will tell you can do fine without an understanding of human anatomy. WRONG! Just take a look at their drawings and judge for yourself. Their ‘mushy-soft’ forms are an instant giveaway.

However, the big problem is most books on the subject are filled with boring description after description but not enough actual illustrations and clear drawings. You practically had to be a brain surgeon to figure it out.

Conversation Starters For First Dates

On first dates conversation can be uncomfortably slow at times. You don't know much about the person and you have no history with them so it can be difficult to find things to talk about. Add a little bit of nervousness and tension to the situation and things are downright awkward.

This article will give you a few ideas to help you start great conversations on a date with people that you may not know very well.

But first, it's important to understand a few things about socializing on dates.

People like to talk about themselves! Most of us would rather talk about our life than listen to someone else talk about theirs. There is nothing wrong with that, it's just human nature. With that in mind the conversation starters I give you later in this article purposely focus the conversation on the other person.

It's a good idea to keep all conversation positive--never bring up negative things like death. It's also wise to avoid controversial subjects like religion, politics, and abortion until you get to know the person better.

Try desperately to keep away from all "canned" conversations like, "So, what do you do?" or, "Where are you from?" This stuff is important to know later on (maybe the second or third date) but it makes you seem dull and unoriginal... not the kind of image you want to portray on the first date.

Here are some good conversation starters that focus the conversation on the other person:

>>> "Have any pets?"

This should start up a lively conversation because people LOVE their pets and LOVE talking about them even more. If they don't have any pets then just move on to something else. Or, you could ask, "Really? Why not?"

>>> "Where did you get that _______?"

Ask them about a specific piece of jewelry or clothing. This conversation starter works particularly well with a really unique piece of jewelry or clothing... something they might be interested in telling the story behind.

>>> "Have you ever ________?"

Ask about something that you are knowledgeable about or enjoy doing. This is a good way to find out if you have common ground. If they do have that interest in common with you then you will have plenty to talk about. If they don't have that interest then just say, "Oh, I see." They will ask, "Why do ask, have you?" Then answer honestly but don't brag and don't go on about it for too long--just move onto something else.

>>> "Do you like sports?"

Men AND women are passionate about sports and all enthusiasts enjoy talking about them. Who knows, you both may enjoy the same sport... why not buy tickets and go to a game for your next date?

>>> "Have you ever been to ________?"

Ask them if they have ever been to a local hotspot that you enjoy. Maybe it's a club, restaurant, or amusement park. If they HAVEN'T been there then this is a great way to get a second date... "You haven't been? You don't know what you are missing out on, we have GOT to go..."

All of these conversation starters are centered around topics that have the potential for interesting and exciting conversation.

Simplicity Brings Success


Oftentimes the deciding factor between success and failure is caused by something so simple, so easy that you overlook that critical difference that would have brought you victory.

It's like that time you spent an hour and a half looking for your car keys--you overturned every couch cushion and checked every dusty nook and cranny in your house only to find that they were the pocket of the jeans you wore yesterday!

If you had just checked the most likely location first you would have found them, instead, you unknowingly made things more complicated than they needed to be.

So it is with many things in life... particularly with women.

After hearing so much increasingly in depth and complex advice on getting women you may start to ignore the simple; glossing over it as "heard-that-before-information" or, worse, searching for that elusive phantom secret that will make everything click; magically transforming you into the stud you know you should be.

This is bad because the simple stuff usually makes the BIGGEST difference while the more complex and, admittedly, interesting stuff is more for fine tuning--it makes LESS of a difference to your "game."

In other words, you being successful at dating and attracting women has less to do with deep psychological analysis and understanding the evolution of the female mind (or any other such speculation and theory spouting) and MORE to do with all that "simple stuff" that you were so quick to skim over and ignore in the past.

Here are some simple solutions for success with women:

>>> SIMPLE SOLUTION # 1: Change your routine...

I can't tell you how many women I have met by simply doing something differently than I normally would.

Do you usually take the bus? Try walking. Like to eat at that one small Italian deli down the street for lunch? Try the one across town instead. Do you normally workout at night? Try going to the gym in the morning. Do you usually hang out with your two best friends on Saturday night and go play pool? Go out with different people to a different place. Do you generally stay in on Friday nights? Good heavens man… GO OUT!

A simple change in routine will put you in different situations where you will run into different women. You've heard it before (and I hate to be the one that says it again) but "If you always do the same thing you will always get the same results."

>>> SIMPLE SOLUTION # 2:Get a mantra...

I'm sure you've noticed that just hearing a short, powerful quote has motivated you to think about or do something that you normally wouldn't. For some people hearing one simple yet powerful sentence has provoked them to completely change their lives. At the very least, it can put things back into perspective for you.

Find a quote that sticks with you and really strikes your core and make it your mantra. Repeat it to yourself at critical moments when you feel your courage and motivation waning… like when you see a hot girl you know you should talk to but can't seem to muster the nerve!

Repeat it many times a day and make it your mantra. Here's mine:


"The measure of any man is in action"


A Greek philosopher said it (unfortunately I cannot remember his name anymore nor can I find it on the Internet. It starts with an "A" if anybody knows email me at brian@datestacker.com and I'll give you a free copy of my book).

>>> SIMPLE SOLUTION # 3: Think positive...

Good, I'm glad you are still with me. I was worried you would leave after seeing the title of this one… you've DEFINITELY heard that one before, huh?

So many times in your life you didn't meet that great new woman because your sour, pessimistic mind wouldn't let you-it talked you down until you had nothing to say and no idea what to do … you were too busy dwelling in negativity.

"What should I say? Oh, it doesn't matter, she's too far away now I'll never catch up."

"I wonder if she has a boyfriend? Oh yeah, it's probably that guy she's talking to."

"Why can't I meet any women? Life sucks."

It's thoughts like these that are ROBBING you of action that would lead you to positive results with women. Begin to think positive, optimistic thoughts and you won't have any room in your head for doubt, second-guessing, or nervousness.

Getting the Respect You Deserve


If a woman does not respect you she CANNOT feel attracted to you.

Respect is the foundation of attraction... it is absolutely necessary.

Trying to "get" respect is difficult. In fact, the harder you try to GET respect the more it eludes you. It's one of those many things in life where the harder you try the more likely you are to fail.

That shouldn't be discouraging. There ARE things you can do to gain the respect and admiration of others. BUT, in order to do that, you can't concentrate on "getting respect." Rather, must you concentrate on the SOLUTION. Or, in other words, the root of the problem.

Here are three "solutions" for you to focus on:

1.) Be completely congruent...

People (especially women) have an intuitive sense of whether or not you are being genuine. In fact, studies have shown that even when people are *sure* that they fooled someone into believing something that wasn't true... they DIDN'T; the other person knew they were being deceitful. We are all human lie detectors, we can sense when what is going on inside doesn't match up with what someone is trying to portray on the outside. People don't like and/or respect false fronts and fakeness. Instead, they are drawn to and respect people that are genuine, comfortable, and confident in their own skin.

2.) Be "suave"...

HOW we do any given thing in life is sometimes more important than WHAT we do. Interacting with women is no exception. Your body language trumps what you say. It doesn't matter what witty, ultra-cool lines you manage to eek out during a date, if you are as tense as a coiled spring and sheepish when you say them she will still view you as a sheepish, nervous, easily-intimidated little weakling.

Suave (adj.) - Smoothly agreeable and courteous.

NOT "agreeable" as in being a "yes-man." Rather, I think what dictionary.com is trying to say here is agreeable as in pleasant. Have you ever been around a pleasant person? Have you ever been around a SMOOTHLY pleasant person? These are the people that men and woman alike BOTH seek out and admire. I'd pay attention to what that "suave" person you know is doing right so that you can figure out what you are doing wrong.

3.) Don't ignore your opinions...

Have you ever noticed how interesting opinions are? When two people are debating surrounding people perk up and pay attention. The good thing is you don't even need to be having a heated debate... just stating your opinion on a subject will have the same effect.

Be Open to Life's Lessons
by Sandy Karn

Life is constantly giving us feedback. No matter what we do,
we will experience the results of our action. The feedback is unavoidable, however that does not mean we pay attention to it.

Significant life experiences are designed to teach us lessons about life and how to live it most fully and effectively. We attract many of these experiences because at some level we know which lessons we need to learn. If we fail to pay attention and learn the lesson, we will probably continue to attract similar experiences to repeat that lesson until we finally learn it.

If the feedback is negative, we need to resist the temptation to simply complain and blame the results on others. We need to carefully examine what we did to bring about the undesirable results. No matter what happens in our lives, we are in some way responsible. Being responsible is not the same as being wrong. It is simply accepting responsibility for being a part of the event, no matter what we did.

Now if the feedback is positive, that's great. However even in this case it is important to carefully examine the results in any significant incident. Do you know what brought about these results or did you just happen to stumble on an appropriate action? Have you identified all of the feedback including the subtle feelings and concerns that may get covered up by the desirable results?

It always helps to interpret life's feedback from a broad
viewing point rather than a narrow point of view. If you are on a street in the center of a major city surrounded by tall
buildings, your view of the city is clearly limited. Now take an elevator to the roof of the tallest building nearby. From this new viewing point you will be able to see more of the city. If you board a helicopter and rise further above the city, your view will continue to expand until eventually you will be able to see the entire city.

Your view from the sidewalk is not wrong. It is an accurate
view of that tiny part of the city. This is generally true of our viewing points. They are correct as far as they go; however they are significantly incomplete. We need to consider life's feedback from a broad viewing point to receive the entire message without rejecting parts of it out of hand.
