I've been thinking this past week about how we think of friendships. Our culture has celebrated family and romantic relationships for a long time as the formulaic answer to happiness. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the phrase "we're just friends". Yes it is meant to distinguish between a romantic attachment rather than as a pejorative, but the qualifier "just" implies a lesser status.
Growing up I didn't have many friends. I actually didn't end up with any longterm friends until I got to high school. In my twenties I had intense friendships some which lasted and some that didn't. Having been a loner for most of my life I highly value friendship. It was in the past few years that I noticed that not everyone holds it in the same high honor. There is nothing like loneliness to make you appreciate good people except being around the wrong sort of people (which is its own sort of loneliness). I've had friendships end dramatically, and sometimes through fading and distance. Other friends I won't see for years and yet we still hold each other in our hearts. I've had friendships that have saved my life, others that have crushed my heart, Friendships have been my richest, deepest, and most enduring relationships. As such I am always up for making new friends. Every friend is its own adventure. So what's the deal with the "just" friends.
We live in a highly mobile culture. Families and individuals move around more than they did in generations past. It is rare for us to have a friend we've known since childhood. In some ways that explains why friendship hasn't gotten the respect it deserves. Neighborhoods have people coming and going every year, so getting to know people often takes more time than most of us have available. We have Facebook friends, and online forum friends, and sometimes we have never met. (Not to imply that you can't have meaningful online friends, but social support sometimes needs hugs). As we get older and start to get into romantic partnerships our friendships can dwindle particularly if our partners don't like the same sort of people we do. I've seen the scenario where a couple gets together and one of them will actively separate their partner them from their friends. I've seen where people after entering into a romantic relationship will simply forget they have friends unless that romance ends.
So where am I going with all this? Am I just ranting and complaining? I'll admit I am ranting just a bit. I just wonder if we've forgotten about the sheer joys of companionship. Having older relatives who have lived quite a long time it has struck me how important it is to keep friends and to keep making friends. We know ourselves through our relationships with others. In our families we often play a role that is very hard to change; we get to stretch our identities with friends. Friends are our traveling companions and you always want good companions for the road whether it be rough or easy going. What about you? Do you have your traveling companions? Do you value them and do they value you? Are you keeping the door open for new comers to your merry band? Do you make the time to connect with others? Has modern culture watered down your concept of friendship? What does it mean to you?
Peace and Blessings,

the fact that VK girls LOVE to be treated like dirt is well known to most people. i even dedicated an article on page 25 to elaborate this point. besides, if you don't treat them like dirt you won't have a chance with them anyways; they will ditch you and move on to a guy that is willing to treat them like dirt. the nicer you are, the less they will want to have sex with you, and the more they'll want to be your friend so they can take advantage of you.
i don't see why any reason why a guy has to feel guilty for using VK girls for sex. remember guys, for any given VK girl, before you come into her life, she had ALREADY victimized many, many naive, unsuspecting guys before you and she will probably do the same thing to you. the moment she realizes that the fish (you) has taken the bait, she will start taking advantage of you INSTANTLY. of course they won't ask you to give them money directly but they'll drop hints such as:
1) talk about how much they want this new $500 Nokia phone but can't afford it. they expect you to feel sorry for them and buy it for them.
2) whine non-stop about their beat up car which breaks down 10 times a month and hope you'll get tired of her whining and help her buy a new one with some of your money.
3) talk about how cheap her ex-boyfriends or ex-husbands were. she wants you to know she hates guys who don't spend lots and lots of money on her - suggesting that if you are not willing to spend money on her you won't have a chance with her.
4) talk about how much she hates eating at inexpensive restaurants.
5) talk about how her ex-boyfriends or ex-husbands or her daddy treated her like a princess, giving her anything she wanted.
you get the point. all of the above are said with one and one purpose alone: she wants you to spend MORE money on her.
if you have only a few dates with a VK girl and she starts talking about financial problems then it's time to plan your exit strategies. you bang her a few more times then RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN. if a girl truly likes you she will never tell you about her financial problems because a) she doesn't want you to worry, b) she doesn't want to make you feel obligated to help her and c) she would not take your money anyways.
therefore, it is IMPERATIVE that you dump VK girls before you develop an attachment to these women. by doing this, not only will you protect yourself, your pride, you wallet but you will also do humanity a favor - you are punishing the ho's for scamming your fellow VK men.


It was a casual Tuesday a few years back at a restaurant called “Sailors Return” in Stuart, FL. She was there with a girlfriend having dinner and drinks and he was there with a guy friend listening to live music.
I was talking to my girlfriend when I hear this super raspy loud voice from across the room, our eyes met and I turned my chair towards him to see what all the commotion was about, because if you know Ron, you know sometimes he’s causing a commotion with that voice. He had my attention. He came over to me to compliment my glasses and he was a little tongue tied and didn’t know what to say, a rare occurrence for him. We talked for hours and for a while it seemed like it was just the two of us in this packed restaurant. We were connected. We knew this meeting was no accident.
I was captured immediately by her eyes, so much so in fact I was speechless. But as we talked that night and grew together over time, I knew she was the one. The girl of my dreams and the woman to challenge and complete me.
We took our time growing our love story knowing how important joining our families together was for the both of us. A year ago with my parents blessing Ron proposed and we got engaged. We moved into a rental together with my teenaged loves while in the process of building our dream home, which we finally moved into this past August! Oh and we have 2 amazing additions to our family unit, Frankie and Benji, our spoiled Pomeranians.


Grecia es una de las regiones vitivinícolas más antiguas del...Read More
Love; a feeling as strong as it is tragic, something that moves us, makes us feel and, often, act. Some of the most fascinating stories in world history are rooted in these very strange reactions that are caused by what we call «love.»
We really love, love and that is why we have decided to present some of the most amazing mythological couples that made history and of course marked Greek culture and thought.
Eros and Psyque
Aphrodite was considered one of the most beautiful women, but there was competition. According to the myth, Psyche was such a beautiful woman that she provoked the jealousy of the goddess, so she decided to send her son, Eros, to shoot her an arrow that would make her fall in love with the ugliest man in the world. However, the god fell in love with her and took her to his palace, where he locked her up and visited her without ever revealing his identity.
Psyche decides to discover the true identity of her lover and this only enrages Eros making him leave her. She tries to earn her forgiveness but for this, the girl needs Aphrodite’s help. Psyche’s feats provoke the favor of the gods, even the very cruel Aphrodite herself, who grand her immortality, marrying her to Eros. The result of that union was a daughter, called Hedone, a spirit that represents sexual desire (hedone in modern Greek means sexual pleasure).
Zeus and Hera
The «kings» of immortals were a truly explosive couple. Zeus and Hera, in addition to husband and wife, were also brothers. We practically already know about this unstable relationship and the innumerable troubles of Zeus. Hera, with her strong personality, which was often dismissed simply as «jealous», used to hunt down and punish all the poor girls that Zeus fell in love with, causing numerous problems to mortals and immortals.
Hades and Persephone
A love story that begins on the wrong foot but ends in a great relationship. Persephone, the beautiful daughter of the goddess Demeter, fascinated the god of the underworld and brother of Zeus, Hades, who ended up kidnapping her to have her as his wife.
Her mother, frustrated with Hades and technically with all the gods, makes all of nature dry up in search of her daughter. This leads to an agreement that Persephone would spend six months with her mother on Olympus and the rest of the time with her husband.
This led to the creation of seasons, as Demeter was so happy to see his daughter that everything would flourish on earth.
As for the relationship between this pair of gods, let’s use the fairy tale, «Beauty and the Beast,» meaning a relationship that seemed strange and inappropriate at first and ended in a wonderful story.
Paris and Helen
A love story that caused a 10-year war and one of the greatest epic poems. Paris fell in love with Helen at first sight and decided to take her with him to Troy. This betrayal of her husband, Menelaus, is supposed to be the reason for the Trojan War between Achaeans and Trojans.
There are so many assumptions surrounding this relationship that it would take us quite a rhapsody, yet it’s safe to say that these two would be the symbol of impulsive love.
Ares and Aphrodite
Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus, but this was an arranged marriage, and she had always truly loved Ares (the god of war). Ares and Aphrodite started a mess, which they couldn’t stop even after being caught in the act and humiliated by Hephaestus. The beginning of this relationship seems a bit romantic, surpassing a marriage arranged in the name of true love, but it quickly dissolves. The two end up repeatedly cheating on each other, before punishing each other and their lovers, and then doing it again. A word? Obsession!
Clitemnestra and Agamemnon
And a bit of tragedy, the style that only Greeks can create. Clytemnestra, Spartan princess and sister of Helen of Troy, was married to Agamemnon, brother of Menelaus. Helena’s husband, Menelaus, asked his brother for his help in the Trojan war. He had to sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia, to the gods so that the Greek army could sail to Troy. King Agamemnon tricked her wife into sending her daughter to him, where she was later sacrificed (the goddess Artemis saved the Iphigenia but this is another Greek tragedy).
Clytemnestra could not forgive her husband and starts an affair with her cousin. When Agamemnon returned to Mycenae, the two lovers killed him along with Cassandra. However, this story does not only tell the revenge of Clytemnestra. Several years later, the queen of Mycenae with her lover, Aegisthus, is killed by her son Orestes, aided by her sister Electra to avenge the death of her father. Oh Mycenae, what drama!
Of course, there are more stories, many different versions that fascinate us and that we really want to tell you. Therefore, we promise you a second part very soon.

"Then some Pharisees came to him in order to test him. They asked, 'Is it lawful to divorce a wife for any cause?' He answered, 'Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.' They said to him, 'Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her?' Jesus said to them, 'Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hard hearts, but from the beginning it was not this way. Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another commits adultery.' The disciples said to him, 'If this is the case of a husband with a wife, it is better not to marry!' He said to them, 'Not everyone can accept this statement, except those to whom it has been given. for there are some eunuchs who were that way from birth, and some who were made eunuchs by others, and some who became eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this should accept it.'"
Being a man, I can assure you that the disciples' comment did not imply it is better to live a life of celibacy, but suggested that it would be better to just live with a woman rather than get married. But Jesus response was that unless you are a eunuch, any intimate relationship a man may have with a woman should be based on covenant. He left no room for the children of God to entertain casual, open-ended intimacy. If you desire a woman, then get married.
(1 Corinthians 7:2)
An intimate relationship is blessed by the marriage covenant instituted by God. Loose relations are selfish and uncommitted, affording the man and woman the ease of promiscuity and the convenience of leaving the relationship when things get tough. For the believer, marriage is trust, commitment, and perseverance that gain them the sanctification within the marriage. It is this symbolism that a believer is united to Christ, and without entering into this covenant, mere physically intimate relationships will have little, if any, reflection of the life of Christ in that relationship. Today, this does not appear to be the wisdom that the world is able to accept.
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. (Hebrews 13:4)


What men like about breasts but are afraid to tell you
Ever since the beginning of time men have had an obsession with women’s breasts, coming from a guys perspective, which is what this article is about and why men love women’s breasts, also called titties, mammaries, melons, cans, the list goes on and on.
While there are many men that consider the derrière or a nice ass, as men will put it, to be the best part of a woman’s body, I personally prefer a nice pair of breasts, after all, there is so much that can be said for a woman with nice boobs, not to mention the things that can be done with a nice rack.
This is not meant to be a grotesque article on female breasts but rather just some basic information on why men love them so much.
Breasts for pleasure
Breasts can be very nice and soft to touch, men are very visual and having a good romp in the sack with a nice pair of breasts is very fulfilling, the bigger they are the more they move and a little movement can boost a guy’s excitement.
The ability for a guy to softly caress his penis between a woman’s breasts can make a wonderful and erroneous experience for a guy, my wife being a D cup size loves this technique as she says it is as much fun for her as it is for me.
Cuddling at night
Having a nice pair of breasts can make it nice for snuggling and cuddling, especially when it’s cold outside. If you are one of those guys that loves to hug your pillow at night, give it up and try wrapping your arm around your gal and gently fondling her bosom.
Kissing a woman’s breasts can make things fun for both men and women, gently kissing and fondling a woman’s breasts can make for a sensual and arousing experience.
The final turn on is having your sexual encounter and having your gal gently fondle her breasts while making love, while some women may feel uncomfortable with this, try it and see the reaction you get from your male partner, most men will go absolutely nuts.
A soapy sensation
Another favorite for most guys is a nice shower or bath with your female partner, a nice scented bar of soap can do wonders, men love to caress and soap down your breasts. This can be a wonderful and comforting sensation for both of you, guys love to watch and touch while women like the gentle stroking and sensation this can provide, just remember to be gentle.
So ladies if you are wondering if there are any good reasons to firm up and increase your bust size a little, hopefully, the above will offer some encouragement and give you a better understanding of why guys love breasts so much.


Couples Therapy Melbourne
As a Couples’ therapists in Melbourne, we seek to work with you as a couple and individuals to improve your relationship. Seeing someone for help shows dedication in itself and a happy resolution is the aim of a relationship counsellor. Melbourne couples get the opportunity to talk openly in a safe environment to resolve underlying issues. Sometimes this involves working out together what has gone wrong, checking that both parties are committed to the relationship, and then teaching skills and tools to improve your relationship. The main aim is to heal past hurts, and focus on improving closeness and connection in the present/future.
On the odd occasion, separation may be the only option. In this case, we work on getting you both through the break-up, minimising emotional harm to one another, processing painful emotions (e.g., grief, loss, anger, sadness, and stress), and work together on issues like how to tell the children about what’s happening and why.
As relationship therapists, our job is to be more than a mediator. It is to take you through a process. To make sure we’re heading in the right direction we track our progress as we go. Couples counselling can take between 3 sessions and 16 sessions, depending on lots of factors (e.g., how long the problem have been there for, if you are in a major crisis, if there are complicating circumstances such as infidelity, personal mental illness, medical/physical conditions, etc).
We use an eclectic approach to relationship therapy in Melbourne depending on your couple’s style, including the following:
- Emotions Focussed Therapy (EFT): gets you to focus on the underlying core emotions, rather than the content of conflict. Helps for dealing with and healing past emotional hurts and resentments.
- John Gottman’s Evidenced-Based Principles for making happy relationships: gives you tools/skills for communication/conflict, improving intimacy and closeness.
- Overcoming sexual issues: such as lack of intimacy/desire, sexual pressure, incompatibility issues, problems with communication, etc. Sometimes individual therapy is needed at the same time.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: identifying mutual values to give common future goals, and ultimately direction in your relationship.
- Schema Therapy: identifies each person’s unique life-traps (we all have them!), which usually stem from childhood, and helps the couple to understand why they act the way they do towards one another (e.g., pushing each other’s buttons!)
The important thing to remember is that, as the research shows, the kind of treatment used is not as important as the relationship between you the couple and the couples’ counsellor in Melbourne. Considering relationship counselling in Melbourne is the first step towards a happier and healthier life. Please contact us for more information on sessions.

Funny how a woman can walk away from her child no questions asked, and
that people pour out the sympathy and support for the woman like she is
some sort of a victim, but for a man to walk away from a child he
becomes a deadbeat and is hunted down like a dog.
Ok, maybe not so funny… more pathetic I guess.


In 30 days I will be 41, and I plan to spend every day from this one to that one learning how to love me. I am at a point in my life where I can honestly say that I have spent the better part of my adult life not knowing how to love or be loved. I have to admit that as a child, I did not always observe healthy love. I saw a lot of hurt. And even now, I struggle with recognizing what healthy love looks like. With that being said, in many ways I have been just going through the motions. Now please understand that I do not say any of this to hurt anyone, I only say this to be honest with myself, and to say that over time, I have learned that people love others the way they want to love them–be it healthy or not. I saw this firsthand. And for many people, myself included, just being loved was enough. This used to be the case for me. But it isn’t quite that simple anymore.
Recently, I came across a quote about love from Iyanla Vanzant that resonated with me and made re-examine the complexities of loving and being loved, she said, “I always say you don’t get to tell people how to love you; you get to choose whether or not you want to participate in the way they love.” Her expression made so much sense to me. What if the way I’m being love isn’t good for me? What if it isn’t love at all? It was then that I realized that I have a choice in whether or not to accept the way others love me, but to do so, I first need to figure out how I need to be loved, and the best way to do that is to love myself.

Asked in 1999 what she would like to see written on her gravestone, Taylor replied: “Here lies Elizabeth. She hated being called Liz. But she lived.”
It’s this sense of humor that made me love her. She just seemed like a person who loved to laugh and have a damn good time!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIZABETH!!!

Woman, you are the love of my life
Woman, you are the love of my life. An album by Robin Dowling.
Please share it if you like it, or like me.
She has the kind of love that can stain your soul, make you beg not to have one, just to escape the spell she’s put you under. I’ve tried to break myself of her over and over, but it’s pointless. I’ve got more of her in my veins than blood.

Enjoy a fulfiling relationship with your kids and an impactful career
We spend decades learning how to do our job, yet we are never taught how to be good parents and balance work and parenting. We deserve better. Our kids deserve better.
As parents, our job is simple but not easy:
- To love our children unconditionally and show it to them.
- To be the person we want to model for them: happy and fulfilled.
We want to be extraordinary at both parenting and work. We don’t want to end up successful professionally but estranged from our kids.
Nor resentful because we sacrificed our dreams for their sake.


If you are looking for a way to spice up your relationship, then it might be time to try something different – Make Him Cuckold! This controversial sexual practice involves allowing a partner to experience sexual pleasure with a third party while their main partner watches. With an increasing number of people exploring this kink, now is the time to find out more about this daring experience.
Make Him Cuckold allows couples to explore their innermost desires and fantasies in a safe and consensual environment. It gives an opportunity for partners to open up and communicate openly about their expectations from the encounter. The man in the relationship gets to see first-hand his partner’s pleasure as she enjoys being intimately pleasured by someone else. This can also lead to increased trust levels between them, while at the same time empowering both parties in the relationship.
For guys who are considering trying out Make Him Cuckold with their girlfriends, it is important that both of them feel comfortable and secure with each other before going ahead. Taking the time to discuss boundaries, safety protocols, and expectations beforehand can ensure that both partners are on the same page during this adventure. This also allows them to build a lasting connection based on mutual understanding and respect for each other’s boundaries.
In addition to feeling secure within their own relationship, couples need to take extra measures when selecting someone else involved in Make Him Cuckold sessions. Couples should only choose someone they both feel comfortable with or have known previously; they can even form their own “Cuckold Club” with other couples if desired! Whatever choice they make, always ensure proper protection measures such as using condoms if engaging in intercourse and ensuring STD/STI tests have been taken prior are followed with any third party involved so that all partners remain safe during these adventurous encounters.
Finally, Make Him Cuckold can be a great sexual experiment for couples wanting something new and exciting in their bedroom routine. Nothing should lead us anywhere we don’t want to go though – coupled should speak openly about one another’s feelings once things get underway or decide before starting if there is a limit on activities performed by either side involved in this erotically charged three-way experience!


By and large, Americans practice a certain type of decision making in their marriages which we might call the equal partners model. The idea is that justice requires that the husband and wife each have one vote. In this model, decision making is easy when the husband and wife agree. When they disagree, they are expected to talk it over and arrive at an agreement. I submit that this model is a trap and should have a sign posted in front of it that says something like, “DANGER – BRIDGE OUT AHEAD.”
In the equal partners model, with two voting members, you either have unanimity or you have impasse. Marriages don’t function well under gridlock conditions. It isn’t really a viable option to forego deciding what’s for dinner, or whether to visit the in-laws this weekend. Something is going to be done, the question is what. That’s where the equal partners model sets husband against wife, as adversaries.
The theory is that husband and wife will talk things over and the right decision will reveal itself. Sometimes that does happen, like when one partner has crucial information the other lacks. One quick comment and the issue is resolved. But often there are disagreements based on judgment or preference. These kinds of disagreement do not resolve quickly by discussion.
This model pits husband and wife against each other like political rivals. Equal partner marriages function like a congress of two. Impasse means that each party takes up their own cause, arguing for their own side, hoping to persuade the other spouse and thus win the issue.
The equal partner model is an adversarial system in the same sense that the American legal system is adversarial. In our legal system, one person is the prosecutor and another person is the defense attorney. These two people are not enemies outside of the court room. They may even be good friends. But inside the court room, during this particular trial, they are adversaries. This system attempts to provide justice by having one person work as hard as possible for a conviction while another person works as hard as possible for an acquittal. In the equal partner marriage, you argue your own case, or you lose.
Ostensibly, differences of opinion, when they are not resolved by information sharing, or preordained areas of responsibility, are settled by who feels more deeply about it. This is thought to be the natural consequence of showing consideration for the other spouse. After all, there’s no sense in her enduring a crushing disappointment to save him from a mild inconvenience. But the seedy underbelly to this arrangement is that each person knows that they might get their own way if they just want it a little more. This turns differences of opinion into a dangerous game of relationship chicken. Each side is incentivized to escalate and exaggerate. Just a little more emotion might put you over the top, and then you win.
I’m convinced that spouses play these games more often than they know. The equal-partner model leads husbands and wives, as if by an invisible hand, into conflict and stress. The incentives drive behavior, and in this case they drive destructive behavior. Although we give lip service to partnership, the marriage instead becomes an ongoing negotiation, with each spouse representing their own interests. Such negotiation is not unity in any sense, and it is guaranteed not to feel like being partners.
It is also not a model that readily permits showing generosity to one’s spouse. If the facts require we implement his plan, she is not being giving to acknowledge it, she has been set straight. If her reasoning is solid and his is faulty, he isn’t being kind, he is just admitting he was wrong. Likewise, when he lets her have her way because it matters more to her, he isn’t being generous, but merely reasonable.
If there’s one thing sure to generate warm feelings towards your spouse, it’s the sense that you always receive your due, once you’ve proven it’s rightfully yours, beyond a reasonable doubt. Good grief.

Lets interact. (IF YOU WANT ADVICE, YOU MUST PUT YOUR AGE IN THE ASK).
So the CEO comes and says she has a funny story…There has been an Intellectual Property dispute with one of our subcontractors on one of the contracts I made. She tells me our Govt Contracts attorney found a kink in our prime contract and saw that it was fixed as I passed it down to our subcontractor. She said that the attorney was so relieved he recommended I get a raise LOL. A real attorney thinks I rock!! Excellent. Validation. I’m so happy.

Yes. I don’t see this as an accomplishment though.
That seems like a good choice. Your parents control your life. It’s not a diabolical plan against you, they’re simply responsible for you.
Build a good relationship with them. Be open and honest. Be a good daughter. Love and respect them. When your relationship with them is strong your sexuality will be only a small thing out of the whole daughter package.
So tonight I went to Trader Joe’s and I was completely willing to talk to a girl. I even practiced how to talk to a girl in my head…. no cute girls were there.
At least I was willing.
I could choose either option and it wouldn’t day anything about you at all.
You sound like a lovely wonderful person. You’ll find someone appropriate for you. You’ll probably find inappropriate people for you too lol.
I’ll have to take my own advice. :/

A hookup culture, also referred to as casual relationship, is one that accepts and promotes casual sexual relationships, including the introduction of friends to one another, one night stands, and even multiple one-night stands. While there are many benefits associated with being included in a casual relationship, there are also many drawbacks, and some people are not happy with their hookup experiences.
How To Generate Online While Doing This Long Recession
Hookups can be quite beneficial for people who wish to experience a different way of life, because they involve the socializing aspects of dating, but do not need a significant commitment from the other person. However, this doesn’t mean that a casual relationship is not quite as rewarding and fulfilling as a more serious relationship with a long-term commitment. It’s important to know that many casual relationships do end up in divorce, possibly because of lack of communication or the failure of both parties to find common ground. When looking for a long-term, committed relationship, make sure you choose wisely.
Hookups should be treated with caution. They don’t give the person involved much social or psychological satisfaction, and they do not build any real relationships, if any. Consequently, if you have opted to go out with a friend on a Saturday night and they request you to hook up, it might not be a good idea. It is better to meet and greet in the daytime rather than at night, or you might be wasting your time and theirs.
You can have fun with a hookup, but it’s okay to be careful of individuals who appear eager to have fun with anybody else. There are plenty of great hookups where individuals have a lot of fun and make each other feel great, but you should not get so carried away that you lose yourself in the excitement of it all. It’s better to consider a hookup like going to a party or some other event where everybody is having a good time, check this out online hookup sites free with a few exceptions.
If you are trying to determine whether a hookup is a good idea, don’t let anyone pressure you into doing anything you aren’t comfortable with. While hookups may have some benefits, it is never wise to jump right into a relationship too fast. The best way to judge whether a man or woman is the right match is to observe how they act and treat other people when they first meet. When they don’t seem interested in anyone else’s opinions and only need to spend their time with them, then they may not be someone you want to spend your life with. and relationship with.
If you’re going out with someone and you have never been with them earlier, make sure you know what they look for in a partner. The best way to judge this is to tell them who you would be attracted to if given another opportunity, and make sure you get that person. When you start dating someone, remember that you should give the individual room to be themselves. After all, that is how the world works.


Once upon a time… well you know the story right?
A girl met a boy and they live a happy life forever and ever on this world.
But let’s change the story a little bit, let’s change it … to my story.
This girls meets the boy and he shows her the moon and the stars, they will guide them to the happy life and they will live there forever and ever.
And we think “It isn’t real, this is too good to happen”.
Well I can tell you for sure that it is true, because this was what happened to me.
You know, when you find that person that can make you feel loved, special, safe and you know that you can trust everything to him/her
I’m not telling you that it is easy, sometimes things gets hard but it doesn’t mean too much because you two love each other and this is what matters.
Love always wins, I believe in that with my heart and my soul.
I am loved and being loved is so good, is so peaceful, makes you feel like you are Love!
So… this is for you, this is for the love of my life:
“Thank you for showing me the stars, the moon, love and the universe
I fall in love with you and we fall in love with the stars and the moon
They are our happy place, where we belong
I have no words to describe you, you shine more than stars
I love your smile, I love your laugh, I love the way you look at me
I love when you kiss my hand and take me photos
I love every detail of you
You are perfect! And you knowing it makes you more special yet!
You light me like the moon light the sky at night
We are one forever and we will shine forever
Our love is our reflex
When I’m with you it’s just us, the world doesn’t exist anymore
I feel in paradise
I’m the happiest girl on the universe
I couldn’t imagine the world without you
And when I remember when I fell in love with you I can´t stop smiling
My head always said to me “It is never going to happen, he will never look at you!”
But the truth is… my heart never lost hope, I remember perfectly the way I use to feel when I was with you at that time.
When someone said your name I smiled, when I saw you I smiled, when you smiled I smiled and when you looked at me my heart beat so fast!
Well, things have not changed much in those aspects.
I never told you that but… I always got jealous when I saw you or listen you talking with other girls, my head said to me “see he don’t like you that way! Wake up”
Maybe you didn’t like me that way at that time
But in secret I always thought that I was special for you
And guess what… I believe on that and I was right!
I never stop believing in love
I never stop believing that you and I will cross the universe and surpass everything for our love
I love you so much
I love every moment with you, every smile and every kiss
You make me feel special, happy and safe
Thanks for everything
I love you more and more and more every day
You are my world
The love of your life”
You are mine, I am yours
I got you, you got me
I reflect you, you reflect me
We are one
The world is our dream


Franchesca Olivia Napalit, RN, MSN
(Jose B. Lingad Memorial Regional Hospital)
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is considered as the most common nosocomial infection (Vincent, 2004) that frequently occurs in the intensive care unit (ICU) (Amin, 2009). VAP is usually associated with increased mortality, morbidity (Davis, 2006), prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay. Therefore, VAP is considered as an important determinant of outcome for critically ill patients (Melsen, et al., 2009) and nurses play a vital role in reducing the risks of VAP.
The purpose of this study was to describe and examine the relationships of the ICU nurses’ profile and their knowledge, adherence, and the barriers towards practicing evidence-based guidelines for VAP prevention.
Two multiple-choice instruments were adapted from the studies of Labeau et al., 2007, Jansson et al., 2013, and Ricart et al., 2003. Data was collected from 12 tertiary hospitals in Pampanga (n=145) through purposive sampling of ICU nurses, with a response rate of 94.77%. Pearson’s r and Point Biserial Correlations were used to determine the relationships of the variables in this study.
Results revealed that half of the respondents (50.34%) have acceptable scores (mean of >5) in the knowledge test. The overall self-reported adherence was 87.48%. The main self-reported barriers towards evidence-based guidelines were: “inadequate resources and disagreement with the results”, “the need for doctor’s orders” and “if guidelines are necessary”. A significant relationship with adherence was also found on the ICU nurses’ age and length of clinical practice. Additionally, knowledge has shown statistical relationships with adherence and working hours.


She's out of My League
An average guy who rates maybe a 5 begins dating a girl who is a strong 10 in the romantic, comedy She’s out of My League. Jay Baruchel plays a security man at an airport when a beautiful woman who is an event planner played by Alice Eve looses her cell phone and he is lucky enough to be the guy to return it to her. They begin dating but because his friends and family tell him that she is so much better looking then him he begins loosing confidence in himself and causing their relationship to suffer. Once the film starts you know exactly where it is going to go and how it’s going to arrive at the conclusion. We have seen some of these jokes before but for some reason everything work. Yes it’s hilarious with plenty of really funny one-liners and nice chemistry between the two leads. It also has a great supporting cast and I’m predicting this will be one of those sleeper hits. The other good news is all of the guys who are 5’s who see this will maybe feel confident they can go out with a 10. My wife told me this will not apply to me because I’m a 9 but I heard her tell somebody else it’s a good thing he can’t see himself in the mirror. (I’m sure she was trying to say I’m a 10 also) I haven’t seen a comedy this good since The Hangover and I’m giving it a B rating.
This movie has been given a R rating by the MPAA
Although I am blind, I can appreciate a good movie as well as sighted individuals.
I rely more on a good story line than special effects.


Walking into holy matrimony at the young age of nineteen, I had my fair share of doubts and misunderstandings. I had this fantasy of no less than a hybrid Mr. Darcy and Hugh Grant. The world of social media made me presume that my marriage would be full of selfies and hashtags. But it’s not like that.
It’s so much better.
The big day came and went in the blink of an eye and now six months later there is so much that I have learnt.
1. It’s difficult. It’s not easy to live with someone you hardly know. But with extra time and extra patience, it get’s a whole lot better. You become each other’s best friends and everything becomes easier when you have that one person to talk to about anything and everything.
2. Never assume! Assumptions are the death of happiness. Don’t assume that he isn’t trying or that he doesn’t care. Every man is different and his perception of love is different as well. I assure you, give them time and they will prove to be a soppier romantic than you and they may even surprise you with loving gestures.
3. Don’t rush things. You have your whole life together so take it easy. Enjoy the little moments together.
4. Be generous with words and gestures. Say “thank you”, “I’m sorry” or even “I love you” without hesitation. Spontaneous bursts of love are always confidence boosters.
5. Create something that only you two know, or a game that only you two know how to play. Create something unique just for the both of you.
6. Be each other’s support. This is the most important. Text messages and emails can always bring out other meanings rather than what we wish to portray – so don’t be irrational and judge, instead take a deep breath and support each other’s flaws and perfections.
In the end, when the whole world seems like a lonely place, your spouse will always be there. He or she is “your person” so, fight for them and always appreciate them.

In the business of the summer, I never recounted the content of my conversation in which I noted a striking connection between Christianity and sex. Actually, in retrospect, I should note that the connection is more between the Christian Life and sex than with Christianity per se.
The controlling metaphor that links the two is the recognition that while both are beneficial/pleasurable for the individual, the moment that it becomes "all about you," you miss the best of what they have to offer.
The Christian life and sex are ultimately 'other centered' activities...at least, in their best moments. Both can (and often are) pursued for personal or selfish reasons, but doing so misses out on the true and lasting benefits inherent in each. The more other-focued we become, the more we recognize that extravagent love stems not from our own pleasure/benefit, but in the recognition of the other as a worthy participant in the same.
Grace & Peace

Everyone wants salvation, and God Almighty wants a relationship with the child of God. However, few believers want a relationship with God. Many believers, many preachers, and many churches are thankful for salvation and eternal life, but these believers love self, the world, and other things more than God. Some believers will not spend the time abide and dwell in the presence of God. Pastor Garver's book, "Believer, Want God Again!" will provide challenge and instruction on how to walk with God.

The Wall Street Journal covered a 2022 study from the Journal of Marriage and Family that found the rate of first-time marriages for people in their 40s and 50s has risen by 75% for women and 45% for men. And while behavioral finance experts suggest having the “money talk” in a relationship no matter what your age, that conversation looks different when both you and your partner have each had decades to build separate financial lives.
CNBC Select spoke to Kevin Luchetta, a wealth management advisor at Northwestern Mutual, about what topics your talk should cover when preparing to walk down the aisle well into middle age.
1. Merging finances with significant assets
If you’re fortunate, making it to your 40s and 50s means having some expensive assets to your name. This naturally makes your money talk “more complicated from a financial standpoint because there are typically more financial assets,” compared to a typical younger couple.
You and your partner should not only share what each of you currently own, but also what new assets you want to share as a married couple — a home, for example — and how you plan to protect the value of everything. CNBC Select ranked Nationwide as the best homeowners insurance provider overall, which provides tons of ways to save money. And Chubb is a top pick for covering your home as well as high-value assets like fine art, fine wine or antiques.
When it comes to insuring jewelry like a new engagement or wedding ring, we ranked Jewelers Mutual® the overall best jewelry insurance company for offering no-deductible coverage at a low price. Its coverage also extends to routine maintenance like repairs related to normal wear and tear.
In addition to talking about current assets and liabilities, Luchetta adds that you’ll want to cover each other’s current income and spending habits. This is typical in a relationship at any age, but older couples may have significant expenses that aren’t as common for people in their early 20s, such as child support or alimony payments. Having this conversation will give you both a better idea of future cash flow needs.
2. Redo your roadmap for retirement
You’ve likely been thinking about and saving for retirement long before a later-in-life marriage, but you might need to make some major adjustments in both your planning and goals now that you’re taking on a partner. Make sure you’re both on the same page about where you two will live out your golden years and how you can make it a reality. This is also a great opportunity to talk about your risk tolerance with investing in general, and could even guide your decision as to how much you want to combine your finances (if at all).
Although you can’t combine retirement accounts with your spouse, you and your partner can name, or designate, the other as a beneficiary in your respective retirement accounts. This way, in the event of a death, the surviving spouse would inherit the account and could roll it into their own 401(k) or IRA. Given that retirement looms relatively close for you and your partner, you should make this decision soon.
3. Estate planning
At its most basic, estate planning means deciding what will happen to your assets when you die. Since your marriage will change the dynamics of both you and your partners’ families, you need to discuss what changes you need to make to your estate plan.
Luchetta suggests paying particular attention to how you want to incorporate life insurance into the mix.
“In many marriages I see [that happen] later in life, life insurance is used to equalize financial support, especially if one of the spouses has a lot more financial assets and a family from a previous relationship,” he says. In these instances, Luchetta says, typically this spouse would keep all or a majority of their current financial assets allocated to their existing child. Then they would set up a separate life insurance policy for their new spouse.
“This can be a simple way to provide financial security to a surviving new spouse, protect all parties involved and minimize disagreements or conflict between a new spouse and existing family members, especially if the new spouse is significantly younger,” he adds.
The best life insurance companies have top ratings from J.D. Power (for customer satisfaction) and AM Best (for financial strength). State Farm, for example, holds the highest customer satisfaction rating among individual life insurance providers — clocking an impressive score of 839 out of 1,000 in the J.D. Power 2022 U.S. Individual Life Insurance StudySM.
Whether you’ve been married before or you’re giving matrimony another go, tying the knot later in life means some financial matters are more pressing than if you and your spouse were younger. Prioritize speaking with your partner about the financial assets you both bring to the table, your retirement plan as an older couple and financial security for either of you in the case of a death.


fangirl challenge; (10/10) friendships » shawn and gus
"Burton Guster has been my best friend since we were five. And maybe, just maybe, if any of you can look yourselves in the mirror and know that you’ve been half as good a friend to someone else as Gus has been to me.. Well, you too can be considered great."
"I don’t blame you, Shawn. I want you to know that– that if I had a chance to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. You’re my best friend and we got to live out our childhood dreams. I don’t blame you, okay?"


A simple trick for you - "Sure" questions are the important thing to how one can speak soiled to your man.
You don't know what "yes" questions are? Don't worry, it's really easy.
Yes questions are simply questions that never have i ever questions dirty for virgins
yes or no solutions you can ask throughout sex, often pertaining to what the guy wants. That is it. Just ask him what he wants. Higher yet, give the impression that you simply're about to start to do something horny to him, and just ask him, "Sure?" It's simple, it is attractive, and it'll drive your man mad with sexual desire.
Some frequent ways of phrasing "yes" questions are things equivalent to merely "Sure?", "Is that this good?" "You want this?" "Do you prefer it when I do this?", and "Does this turn you on?" These are all wonderful "sure" type questions that may often elicit a powerfully erotic and passionate response from him. Guys are simple creatures, and it solely takes simple questions to constitute dirty discuss to him, especially in case you are asking them with a sultry look in your eyes and a horny tone in your voice.
Whereas guys may specific disdain for ladies who're dirty in their everyday lives, they LOVE it when their very own woman is dirty in bed, just for them. It's stated that each man needs a saint for a spouse and a whore for a lover, and you've got the prospect to be both. It's the right combination and he will take a look at you in an entire new, passion-crammed light. You will be sexier to him than ever before.
You too can use soiled talk in the reverse direction by getting him to ask yes questions to you. That is easy enough to do. Just express delight in something that he does to you, akin to supplying you with oral sex. When he goes down on you, moan somewhat so he'll know you prefer it, after which gasp out "Sure!" But don't do it too loudly at first. Just a simply low, groaning sounding "yes" shall be fine. This can spur him on, and he'll almost definitely ask you in the event you like what he's doing to you. You'll be able to then answer, "Yes." It is going to excite him just as much as doing it the opposite way around.
Really, relating to sex, all a guy desires to know is that you simply like what he is doing to you. Studying the best way to discuss soiled using "yes" questions is the proper technique to convey this with out getting too complicated or distracting together with your words. He will love it, and you will love the sex you're having together even more because of it. He'll change into the lover you all the time desired, and all because of the straightforward answer to a question..."Yes."


I'll love you forever,We hear how the boy grows and grows and still the mother manages to rock him and sing the song to him (she always makes sure he is asleep by peeking up over the side of his bed). It is not all sweetness and light—the boy drives her "CRAZY;" she wants "to sell him to the zoo;" and feels like she "is in a zoo." But she continues to find ways to rock him and sing to him until at the end of her life he does the same for her and then to his new born daughter.
I'll like you for always;
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.
I used the story to talk about God's abiding love for us and how God is a Mothering-Father. It is important to acknowledge all those in our lives who have mothered us: some of whom were men and others women; some were related to us by blood and others by love. God's abiding love is always there, even when we are not aware of it. We, who are nurtured by such love, are to pass it on. I ended by saying it is this abiding love that we, as Christians, have to offer to the world.

- Essie Manuel Rutledge
Sociologically speaking, marriage is the cornerstone of the traditional nuclear family. It is the basis for the formation of the family as an institution and as a group that contains both individuals and relationships: husband-wife, parent-child, and sibling-sibling. These relationships indicate bonds, connections, attachments, and obligations between individuals. The bonds and attachments are conjugal and consanguine, with the former based on husband-wife relationships and the latter on blood ties. But both relationships are intrinsically connected. Therefore, many of the responsibilities of the conjugal relationship are connected to the family.
Marriage in the United States is highly valued. More than 90 percent of Americans express a desire to marry at some point in their lives. This reflects the country’s Judeo-Christian ethic, which emphasizes marriage as a requirement for heterosexual sex and childbearing. But because of changing attitudes about sexuality and intimate relationships, neither sexuality nor childbearing is confined to marriage.

They will never run out of fun things to do together. However, when they do get together, they’re both devoted, comfortable, and passionate.

It was love and passion at first sight. An Aries woman is attracted to strength in men, but she also does not want a man who wants to control her in any way.

Aries are excellent parents who love their children unconditionally and don’t mind sacrificing they push their children to excel academically and want to make sure they know how to take care of themselves. You trust yourself more than you trust others, and this might come across as cocky, selfish, and cold. Have your physical symptoms, such as sores, wounds, or pain, impacted your lifestyle or mental outlook? As an Arian woman, parenting is something I look most forward to in life, next to having a lifelong partner to share my adventures with.
As a couple they prize freedom, good health, excitement, new things and experiences more than possessions.

God, the Devil, and Divorce: A Transformative Journey out of Emotional and Spiritual Divorce
"If you divorce, Satan wins!" declares Linda's latest counselor.
Wrestling with the prospect of leaving her husband of twenty-five years, Linda is caught between the conservative Christian view of divorce and what she believes God is telling her. Linda's story chronicles her journey of recovery and her ever-deepening faith in God.
I was drawn in by this positive and life-affirming story about a woman who finds herself and her strength as her marriage deteriorates. She fights for her marriage, her husband, and herself, battling unseen enemies. This is an engaging book about the struggle of knowing when to fight, and when to give up and make a new life for oneself.
—Susy Flory, New York Times bestselling author or co-author of over a dozen memoirs,
Linda's personal testimony of faith and integrity, despite going through divorce twice, will give hope to devout Christian women and men who've have despaired of finding a good mate. Anyone who has been deceived by a charming selfish spouse who presents themselves as godly but are chronically abusive, unfaithful, indifferent, or addicted will find comfort in Linda's journey. Her journal entries reveal God's hand of care and protection in her life, helping her see what was happening, helping her escape destructive situations, giving her clarity as she second-guessed her decisions, helping her establish boundaries, and eventually guiding her to a loving husband who truly loves the Lord and has good character. She explains the biblical basis behind her decisions, and encourages others not to give up on finding a loving partner.
—Gretchen Baskerville, author,The Life-Saving Divorce
In this compelling, readable, and highly relatable memoir, Linda M. Kurth takes us deep inside what could be so many American homes and reveals the pain, joy, and discovery of motherhood, womanhood, and sexuality. Looking at Christianity from both the inside and outside, Kurth writes honestly about how her faith supported her as well as the challenges she faced when the choices she made conflicted with some of her fellow Christian’s mores.
William Kenower, author of Fearless Writing: How to Create Boldly and Write with Confidence
A memoir [that] recounts a difficult marriage and a woman’s subsequent empowerment through faith… Kurth delves deep into the emotional state of her household, creating an admirable portrait of how toxic atmospheres have real mental and physical consequences… Intriguing is the author’s post-divorce evolution on the Christian dating scene. Surrounded by other “beautiful, intelligent women of God” affected by bad marriages, Kurth embraced a range of conservative and liberal schools of Christian thought that will surely speak to readers also questioning what they really want. While a distressing marriage takes center stage, this account offers refreshing takes on starting over.

What do women really look for when it comes to a serious partner? Forearms, apparently. Gals have turned to Reddit to reveal the qualities they want in a significant other and… Well, let’s just say they were ridiculously specific. You know how men just throw things out like “boobs and a*s”? Well, girls aren’t as curt. Read on below as women reveal the qualities they look for in a serious partner, according to Reddit.
“I want (and have) a man who knows how to behave properly around polite company, who is willing to be open and trusting with me in our private moments, and can diffuse a tense situation with light humor while not ignoring the situation at hand. OH and treats me respectfully like a equal partner.”
“I look for someone who has a certain kind of feeling around him. Someone who’s emotionally stable, but still shows emotions and everything. I also want someone I Cal talk to for hours and never lose interest in the conversation, along with any type of conversation is open. Someone with a sense of humor, and someone who gets that I mess up and I mean the best. I look for someone who’s a good Christian man and loves God over everyone else. Someone who is loyal to God will be loyal to you.”
“CONSISTENCY. I just want to date someone that is consistent in their behaviour towards me. Not just for a month and then does a complete 180 on me. Leaving me confused af.” Felt this before, anyone?
“Honesty. It’s surprising how often someone lacks honesty. Loyalty, morality, ambition, he has to be adventurous. I don’t mind a homebody. But I do mind someone who won’t ever go do anything, and has no desire to travel. Selfishness is an automatic no. I once had a guy tell me to pretend I don’t know him in public, after he was already my boyfriend. No. Then, there is, of course, the sense of humor bit, intelligence is important, hygiene is important.”
“Do you look like you care for yourself? Are you doing something interesting? How do you treat animals? People? Your parents? What are your hobbies? Political stance? How about vaccinations? Do you like the beach? Do you use cologne I like or stuff that makes my nose sear? It’s not about if you’re nice. Nice is default. You’re supposed to be nice. What ELSE is there?”
“Someone who knows what they want and is on top of their sh*t. A man with direction and drive. He needs to know how to be in a healthy relationship because I don’t, and he needs to be patient as I learn. Someone open-minded that won’t judge me for my past and will accept me for me as much as I accept him. Intelligence (not just booksmarts) and nerdiness are a must. Be social but not feed off social interaction because some days I’d rather stay home and play video games. And most of all he has to be family and animal friendly and love board/card games.”
“Quite a few things I suppose: -mutual attraction -respect -doesn’t seem like they’ll pressure me for sex -easy to converse with -interested in me, my family, and my life -Willing to talk about their family and life and stuff. I think that’s a good start.”
“Very slow to anger, someone who is laid back but still hilarious. Life of the party kind of guy, ya know? Someone who will not fight with me but have arguments, where we sit and talk through our issues, not scream at each other. Someone with a somewhat normal family, can’t have too much crazy. And I’m not gonna lie, I’m shallow. He’s gotta look good :D”
“my old neighbour always told me the three most important things to go for in a partner: kindness (especially to animals), intelligence, and a good sense of humour. so i try to base potential boyfriends off that plus my own personality preferences.”
“Is he capable of being independent? Is he kind to his mom, children and animals? Is he hygienic? Is there something that excites and motivates him (hobbies, job etc.)? Is he respectful and supportive? Does he like fart jokes? All answers should be yes.”
“I look for a guy who treats me like a person, not a potential girlfriend. As in, our conversation is geared towards getting to know each other or chatting about common interests, not a series of seemingly-charming yet passively-mysogenist compliments aimed at getting into my pants 1 or 3 or 5 dates down the line.
And he has to be a real person too, f*ck. Don’t just front about how much money you make or your volunteer stint in Cambodia. Admit a fear. Describe a goal. Tell me about a time you felt proud of yourself, or ashamed. And ask me those questions, and listen. And if I don’t give you my number, don’t call me a cocktease. Would you do that to a friend? To your brother?
Be real. Treat me like I’m real. Because that’s the path to a real relationship.”
“Honest communication and sexual compatability. You have to be willing to bring up topics even if they are sometimes uncomfortable as well as to listen in order for a relationship to grow. And sexual compatability is huuuge. I refuse to waste my time with a guy who doesn’t enjoy sex as much as I do.”
“I don’t care much about looks, physically I just would like to see that they take care of themselves, as that’s attractive and can be a reflection of how they view themselves. As far as personality/behavior.. I love it when I am talking to a guy and I get the feeling he is genuinely interested in what I’m saying, making eye contact and smiling- makes me melt inside! I also love it when they are down for anything- an adventure, or just a night in with netflix and video games. Oh and I love it when they have a big appetite. I love to cook. Must love cuddles, and dogs.”
“Height and/or forearms.” Another added: “I like my forearms when they’re being naughty. Like he’s got a nice button up on with a tie and maybe a vest. But he rolls those sleeves up and hello forearms. What are you doing out, you sneaky things? Absolutely delicious that way.”
“Based on looks alone I would say… Eyes, smile, face in general then overall physique. I don’t particularly care about nicely shaped wrists but if a man has nice hands that is however a plus. As far as personality/behavior.. A good sense of humor and confidence (NOT to be confused with cockiness) are definitely appreciated.”


Know something? The Lord loves you. Deuteronomy 7:8.
God loves you simply because He chooses to. Get this - it is not based on who or what you are. His love for you is because of who He is. He loves you when you don't feel loveable. He loves you when no one else seems to. Others will abandon you, divorce you, hurt you - but God loves you. Always has. Always will. That is who He is.
This is His promise: "I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself." Jeremiah 31:3.
What this means is that He has an endless love for us that we can draw from anytime. He is waiting. Allow Him to love you.
