How did I miss this one? Is this the opposite recipe for the stepford wife? Imagine, being stripped down and having our secrets for manipulating men broken down to a scientific emotional level (is that even possible). Must have been a man that did this and he must have a lot of time on his hands. Let's give him a 'honeydo' list. <P>Too funny!!!!! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>L. <P>

James 3,<BR> <BR>Dear Brother's, Don't be too eager to tell others their faults, for we all make many mistakes; and when we teachers of religon, who should know better, do wrong, our punishment will be greater than it would be for others.<P>I love the bible cause it has so many helpful words of encouragement.

CHANGE/CHOICE <BR>===================================================<BR>"Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except <BR>human beings. How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it <BR>possibly can. Human beings, on the other hand, have been <BR>given the dignity of choice. You can choose to be all or <BR>you can choose to be less. Why not stretch up to the full <BR>measure of the challenge and see what all you can do?" -- <BR>Jim Rohn <P>"For many people, change is more threatening than <BR>challenging. They see it as the destroyer of what is <BR>familiar and comfortable rather than the creator of what is <BR>new and exciting." -- Nido Qubein<P>"Something must die in order to grow - your old habits, <BR>your old self image, your old thinking, your old life - <BR>must be weeded out for the seeds of success to grow." -- <BR>Doug Firebaugh

Got this in an email.. I thought it was cute and has some maybe a little merit [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>The Secrets of a Woman’s Language<BR> (The Key Words and Their Meanings)<P>1. FINE<BR>This is the word a woman uses at the end of any argument that she feels she is right about but needs to shut you up. NEVER use “fine” to describe how a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of those arguments.<P>2. FIVE MINUTES<BR>This is equivalent to one half an hour. It is also equivalent to the five minutes that your football/hockey or whatever game is going to last before you take out the trash, so she feels that it's an even trade.<P>3. NOTHING<BR>This means something and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with the word "Fine".<P>4. GO AHEAD (c/w Raised Eyebrows)<BR>This is a dare. This one that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and eventually cause an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with the word "Fine".<P>5. GO AHEAD (w/out raised eyebrows)<BR>This means, "I give up” or, “Do what you want because I don't care." You will, however, get a Raised Eyebrow "Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing", and a "Five Minute" argument ending with "Fine".<P>6. LOUD SIGH<BR>This is not actually a word, of course, but often is a verbal cue misunderstood by men. The "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you're an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing there having a "Five Minute" argument with you over "Nothing".<P>7. SOFT SIGH<BR>This is one of the few sounds that some men actually understand. This means that she is content. Your best bet is not to move or breathe. Just stay clear.<P>8. OH<BR>This word followed by any statement is trouble. E.G. - "Oh, let me get that", which actually means that you are obviously incapable and incompetent and cannot possibly complete the task to her particular standard. Or, "Oh, I already talked to the cable guy", which means that she has inadvertently blown the cover on your secret extra outlets and black box. Worse yet is, "Oh, I talked to him about what you did last night.”<P>------------------<BR>Semper,<P>Husband2You<BR>*****<BR>Don't make me promises <BR>Baby you never did know how to keep them well <BR>I've had the rest of you <BR>Now I want the best of you <BR>It's time for show and tell<P>'All or Nothing' O-Town
