 >> 1. HAVE DINNER READY: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a

 >> 2.PREPARE YOURSELF: Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed
 >> when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be
 >> fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a
 >> little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.

 >> 3.CLEAR AWAY CLUTTER: Make one last trip through the main part of the

 >> paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will
 >> feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift

 >> 4.PREPARE THE CHILDREN. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands

 >> playing the
 >>part.
 >>
 >> 5.MINIMIZE THE NOISE: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of
 >> washer, dryer, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be
 >> quiet. Greet him with a warm smile and kiss, letting him know you're
 >> glad to see him.
 >>
 >> 6.Some Don'ts: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't
 >> complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what
 >> he might have gone through that day.
 >>
 >> 7.MAKE HIM COMFORTABLE. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or
 >> suggest he lay down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for
 >> him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low,
 >> soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.
 >>
 >> 8.LISTEN TO HIM: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment
 >> of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.
 >>
 >> 9.MAKE THE EVENING HIS: Never complain if he does not take you out to
 >> dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead try to understand his
 >> world of strain and pressure and his need to be home and relax.
 >>
 >> 10.THE GOAL: try to make your home a place of peace and order where your

Severely Burned
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
A married couple were in a terrible accident where the woman's face
was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't
graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny.
So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin. However, the
only skin on his body the doctor felt was suitable would have to
come from his buttocks.
The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where
the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their
secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.
After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the
woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had
before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her
youthful beauty!
One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with
emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you
for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay
you."
"My darling," he replied, "think nothing of it. I get all the
thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."

**Conversation over dinner**
WOMAN: What would you do if I died? Would you get married again?
MAN: Definitely not!
WOMAN: Why not - don't you like being married?
MAN: Of course I do.
WOMAN: Then why wouldn't you remarry?
MAN: Okay, I'd get married again.
WOMAN: You would? (with a hurtful look on her face)
MAN: (makes audible groan)
WOMAN: Would you sleep with her in our bed?
MAN: Where else would we sleep?
WOMAN: Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her?
MAN: That would seem like the proper thing to do.
WOMAN: And would you let her use my golf clubs?
MAN: She can't use them; she's left-handed.
WOMAN: - - - silence - - -
MAN: Shit.


<< DOG PROPERTY LAWS
1. If I like it, it's mine.

5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I'm chewing something up, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it just looks like mine, it's mine.
8. If I saw it first, it's mine.
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it
automatically becomes mine.

HOW DOGS AND MEN ARE THE SAME:
1. Both take up too much space on the bed.
2. Both have irrational fears about vacuum cleaning.
3. Both mark their territory.
4. Neither tells you what's bothering them.
5. The smaller ones tend to be more nervous.
6. Neither do any dishes.
7. Both fart shamelessly.
8. Neither of them notices when you get your hair cut.
9. Both like dominance games.
10. Both are suspicious of the postman.
11. Neither understands what you see in cats.

HOW DOGS ARE BETTER THAN MEN:
1. Dogs do not have problems expressing affection in public.
2. Dogs miss you when you're gone.
3. Dogs feel guilty when they've done something wrong.
4. Dogs admit when they're jealous.
5. Dogs are very direct about wanting to go out.

as long as it's not a shoe.]
7. You can train a dog.
8. Dogs are easy to buy for.
9. The worst social disease you can get from dogs is fleas.

20 THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME 50 YEARS TO LEARN (by DAVE BARRY)

1.  The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.

2.  The one thing that unites all human beings,
regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status
or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside,
we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

3.  There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

4.  People who want to share their religious views with
you almost never want you to share yours with them.

5.  The main accomplishment of almost all organized
protests is to annoy people who are not in them.

6.  You should not confuse your career with your life.

7.  No matter what happens, somebody will find a way
to take it too seriously.

8.  When trouble arises and things look bad, there is
always one individual who perceives a solution and is
willing to take command.  Very often, that individual is
crazy.

9.  Nobody cares if you can't dance well.  Just get up and dance.

10.  Never lick a steak knife.

11.  Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie.

12.  Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill
and a laxative on the same night.

13.  You will never find anybody who can give you a clear
and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

14.  You should never say anything to a woman that even
remotely suggests you think she's pregnant unless you
can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

15.  There comes a time when you should stop expecting
other people to make a big deal about your birthday.
That time is age 11.

16.  If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why
the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve,
its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

17.  A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter,
is not a nice person.

18.  Your friends still love you, anyway.

19.  If you think the universe is big, you should see the source
code!

20.  And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its
glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use,
as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle

 > It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all
 > while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing

 >
 > It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way that is
 > only fun until someone loses an eye. It will rewrite your backup files,

 > will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in
 > dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the
 > forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows; it will also refill
