By Rod Cortez “I want a girlfriend” is a phrase I read and hear a lot. I also have men ask me “how do I get a girlfriend?”. My usual response is “why do you want one so badly?” Somehow, somewhere some men have been conditioned to think that their lives would be more meaningful if they had a girlfriend. “But I feel like such a freak if I don’t have one,” says Jeremy, a 22 year old college Senior. “Most of my friends have one. I feel like a loser.” I hear this from men of all ages and backgrounds. The problem here I see is two-fold: first, that men who say these kinds of things do not have the different skillsets they need in order to secure a date virtually anytime. Secondly, there is an inherent problem in thinking that one NEEDS to have a girlfriend in order to feel more complete, popular, or whatever other reason you can think of. Happiness and fulfillment should come from INSIDE first and then having a partner, a girlfriend, or a romantic interest should be the icing on the cake. So if you are one of these men that feels and believes he has to have a girlfriend, that’s a big red flag that you are using that as a crutch. A crutch for what, you might ask. It’s a crutch for not facing the REAL, deeper issue(s) that drive that false belief that you have to have a girlfriend. Men who want a girlfriend are coming from a place of weakness, not power. When a man desperately wants a partner it makes him act and behave in a needy and desperate way. Women pick this up even before you approach them. They can see it in your posture, your eyes, the way you move your arms, and other aspects of your body language. Then when you talk they can hear it in your voice and where you place your hands. You shouldn’t “want” a girlfriend or “need” a girlfriend. You should choose to have one when you meet a woman that fits your criteria, won’t play silly games with you, and compliments your life, not impedes it. Men typically want a girlfriend for the wrong reasons. Men should “choose” to have a girlfriend, not “need” one because they are sucuumbing to social pressure or a feeling of insecurity or lonliness. There are times in my life where I did not have a girlfriend for several years. That did not mean that I did not date. I went out on plenty of dates, but I never called any of them my girlfriend. I’ve had women tell me after a few months that they wanted to move in with me and when I told them “no”, they gave me an ultimatum. Either take the relationship to the next level or she would end it. I would always end it right there on the spot. The fact is that my self-esteem and confidence are so high that I don’t “need” a woman to originate my happiness. I think of my life as dessert and that any woman who wants to join me is simply the whip cream and strawberry on top. I realize that sounds a bit corny, but it’s a very accurate metaphor. I’m not saying that having a girlfriend is a bad thing. In fact, it’s a good thing when it is done for the right reasons. So how does a man make himself more attractive? The list is nearly endless, but here are a few pointers that men need to seriously think about: 1. Physical Appearance And Hygiene - I used to worry about my height because I didn’t think I was tall enough to date tall, attractive women. That was a huge waste of time and energy. I finally realized that I needed to focus on what I could control, such as my weight, my muscle tone, the way I ate, using only one spray of cologne (instead of half the bottle), the whiteness of my teeth, my hairstyle, etc. 2. Confidence - I’m talking about natural confidence that oozes from within, not the phony “I’m-such-a-bad-boy” confidence that immature men think is “cool”. If you don’t have it now there’s only one way to get it: taking action; not just any action, but action that forces you outside of your comfort zone so that you actually grow. Think about it, if you have approach anxiety, you’ll never overcome it if you don’t approach. Remember the Rule of 25, which states you should eventually approach no less than 25 women per week until you can talk to any woman, any time, and any where. 3. Have A Life - Studies have shown that desireable men have active, social lives. Let’s face it, when a woman knows that other women desire you, your social value skyrockets. One way to increase your own social value is to have hobbies and interests. If you couple this with a growing social network, you will naturally find yourself a very busy person with plenty of social events and opportunities to meet new faces. I can go to any major city in the world and within 90 days I can build a social network of new faces and friends that would take an average man a lifetime to build. If you remained focused there’s very little you can accomplish. Do you still want a girlfriend? Or do you feel like you still need one? It’s very important that you take a look inside yourself to find the answer. You should never “need” a girlfriend. You should reach a point in your life where you “choose” to have a girlfriend on your terms. And that makes all the difference in the world.

By Livia Tiba The benefits of salt therapy (also called Halotherapy) or speleotherapy are well known and documented in Europe. Halotherapy uses dry aerosol micro particles of salt and minerals to treat respiratory diseases and seeks to replicate the conditions of speleotherapy, a treatment that has been practiced in old salt mines of Eastern Europe since the early 19th century. This salt therapy being very well known for its beneficial effects, a Romanian inventor put his mind at work and developed a device that is able to reproduce a speleotherapy micro environment in your home in an affordable and convenient way. Internationally recognized, with Gold and Silver medal at “Salon International des Inventions”, Geneva and “World Exhibition of Innovation, Research and New Technology”, Brussels This Romanian invention brings new hopes in the natural treatment of chronic respiratory diseases. The inventor thought this device as an air salinizer that uses forced ionization of the indoor air by salt sublimation creating a micro climate of dry aerosol salt therapy in your living space. He used a natural process of salt crystallization to obtain salt micro crystals under 5m in diameter, invisible to human eyes, being able to penetrate deep into the lung. The device uses only natural salt from within the mountain of salt, untreated or touched by the human processing technology. Based on clinical studies, the inhaled saline has bactericide, mucokinetic, hydrophilic, anti inflammatory properties, reducing inflammation in the whole respiratory tract, absorbing edema from the mucosa lining the airway passages leading to widening of the airway passages, restoring the normal transport of mucus and unclog blockages in the bronchi and bronchioles leading to rapid elimination of the residual tar and foreign allergens, all of these in a natural process. Edema of the nasal mucosa and the oropharynx and soft palate, causing nasal obstruction and snoring is diminished, leading to widening of the airway passage in the nose and the tubes of the sinuses and improving the sinuses drainage and reducing snoring. In the auditory tube, edema of the Eustachian tube causing ear infection, is also diminished, leading to widening of the airway passages, better drainage and better aeration behind the tympanic membrane. The salt therapy was found to have beneficial effects in the treatment of: *Asthma and Chronic Bronchitis *COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) *Allergic Rhinopathy or Hay Fever *Cystic Fibrosis *Sinusitis *Ear Infections *Smoking Cough *Various acute or chronic respiratory disease *Reduce snoring and activates better sleep by clearing the airway passages in oropharyngeal region *Increased resistance to Cold & Flu by opening and clearing the nasal airway and improving the drainage of the sinuses *Humidifies the bronchial secretions reducing broncho-spasm and facilitating elimination of the smoke residual tar, phlegm expel and other allergens *Improves the quality of the indoor air by eliminating the dust, cigarette smoke, bad odours, mould and mites, having bactericide reduction properties. The salt therapy is a natural method of therapy and does not involve any risk and is finally adapted to the living space. However, this is NOT a substitute for medical treatment and should only be used as an adjuvant helping to improve the quality of patients’ life, reducing the antibiotics and corticoids or steroids intake, reducing the rate of annual hospitalizations and decrease the frequency of respiratory diseases attacks.

By David Ben-Ariel The Two Witnesses of Revelation 11. Who are these two prophets? What do they have to say? Why are they called the two witnesses? How will their message be proclaimed? And is there any special significance to the fact that they’re headquartered in Jerusalem? God’s Church has often wondered about these things, but we ALL need to know the answers to these vital questions, especially since the two witnesses will soon make their debut upon the world stage! Even as the United Europe is being raised up before our very eyes, just as Herbert W. Armstrong said it would, isn’t it reasonable that God is raising up the two witnesses who will testify against it? And even as God’s Church is approaching the end of their great commission (Herbert W. Armstrong took the gospel around the world, the Church must warn the world), isn’t it only reasonable that the two witnesses should be beginning theirs? (John 3:30). Didn’t Isaiah foresee this very event when he prophesied of the “night when no man can work,” but assures us of two whom God would simultaneously raise up to impart their light? (Isaiah 60:1-2). It appears that the full power and glory of Elijah’s office isn’t to be fulfilled until AFTER God’s Church has been removed to “her place” and a double portion of God’s Spirit is transferred to our successor - the two witnesses! (Revelation 12:14; 2 Kings 2:9). God states that He shall station watchmen in Jerusalem. Why? For the purpose of comforting His captive Church and Israelite people. How will they be comforted? By the ASSURANCE that our God will come and save us and avenge us of our enemies (Isaiah 62:6-7; 40:1; 35:3-4)! The specific commission and anointing of the two witnesses is clearly recorded in Isaiah 61:1-2. Remember your Roots Malachi 4:5-6 further reveals that they are to PREPARE THE NATION of Israel for the Coming of our King, by a baptism of repentance that will prepare them to receive the Holy Spirit (which is to be poured out at Christ’s return). That national preparation is only possible if Israel’s heart is turned back to the heart of our fathers (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob), and then, in turn, our hearts must be turned back to the GOD of our fathers and His TRUE religion. Presently there’s a “generation gap” between the fathers and us because the true religion demands obedience to the Law of God. Abraham recognizes only the obedient as his legal heirs (Genesis 18:19; John 8:39; Galatians 3:29). And since we’re a rebellious nation and people (Isaiah 30:9), Abraham refuses to acknowledge us (Isaiah 63:16; Hosea 5:7; 6:7). If Israel dares to reject this necessary “family reunion” that would direct us to our Heavenly Father, God will be forced to destroy all rebellious life from off the face of the earth. Why? Because Israel is God’s national firstborn and the law demands death to stubborn sons (Deuteronomy 21:18-21; Malachi 4:6)! God realizes that if Israel can’t be saved, then no nation can. The continued existence of Israel is vital to the survival of ALL nations, because Israel is the national salt as the Church of God is the spiritual salt! David Ben-Ariel, a Christian-Zionist writer and author of Beyond Babylon: Europe’s Rise and Fall, shares a special focus on the Middle East and great interest in Jerusalem, reflected in hard-hitting articles that help others improve their understanding of that troubled region.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Peter_Taylor]Peter Taylor Being a tenant, I was facing a problem in availing the loan. I have always been refused loans by various lenders only for a reason that I didnt have my own property. Unsecured tenant loan showed a faith on me. It is a kind of blessing for me, other tenants and the people who are facing problem in availing loan just because of the reason for not owing a property. Now taking a loan is no longer a dream. Unsecured tenant loan enables us to get loan though we are not a property owner. Unsecured tenant loan is just a form of unsecured personal loan. Nowadays the market is full of lenders who provide unsecured tenant loan at your convenience and that suits your budget. Unsecured tenant loan are sanctioned and approved quickly as they do not involve any asset valuation. The person to avail unsecured tenant loan has to furnish some details such as his identification, proof of residency and his source of income to the lender. Apart from all banks and building institution, the online lenders also provide this loan. Online lenders just ask you for certain details in the application form and if they find you eligible for the loan, they get back to you within few hours. In addition to speedy applications of online tenant loans, one of the benefits is that the borrower can apply for loan from the home itself and at anytime. Now almost every lender uses electronic fund transfer, so the borrower can receive the money within few hours of getting loan approved. Unsecured tenant loan are much safer than any other loan as your property is not involved. The person can use the unsecured tenant loan for consolidation of his debts, for his home improvements, financing his car and paying off its previous debts or any purpose. The people with bad credit history, such as with arrears, bankruptcy can also apply for such loans without any hassle. But the person should always remember that the good credit history is always a positive score in availing a loan. The good credit score helps the person to borrow on easy terms. One of the shortcomings of such loans is that the interest rate is charged higher than any other secured loan. As the borrower is borrowing money without collateral, to compensate the risk, he charges higher rate of interest. As no property is involved, the borrower should not think that the lender could not liquidate his asset when he misses any of his payments. It is correct that he cannot liquidate the asset but he has the right to take the borrower to the court in case of any miss payment. Therefore, the person should consider his ability to pay back before going for a loan. Peter Taylor is a senior financial analyst at Best Tenant Loans with an acumen for finance and insurance.

By Susan Russo “A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory.” -Arthur Golden How many times have you said, “I’ll never meet anyone that I love like him/her? She’s/he’s my soul mate; It’s too hard to meetgood people; I hate the bar scene; I’ll never meet anyone unless theyknock on my door.” And the list goes on. Because your heart is so wrapped up in whatever their name is; youcan’t see that there’s a future out there waiting for you. You are sofocused on looking through your rear-view mirror that you can’tsee where you are going. Sure you miss them. They were the latest and the greatest. But,think back to the time in your life that you thought you wouldnever get over the last guy/girl and lo and behold; you met someone new. You’re right about one thing; you will never meet anyone as longas you hold onto the belief that you won’t. We attract what we think about all day. If the only thing on yourmind is how bad you feel, how you loved what you had and howyou will never meet anyone else. Then guess what? You’re right! On the other hand, you need to begin to realize that even thoughyour relationship is over; doesn’t mean that your life is over. Thisparticular chapter in your life may be gone, but now you can begin to tell a story with new characters, a new beginning and with someonewho actually wants to be in the story. Sometimes things just don’t work out the way we’d like. As much aswe don’t want to believe it or accept it; until you start to processthis reality; you will continue to live in the past. Thinking about whatwas and what could’ve been is a waste of time. Seriously,what good does it do you? What’s the point? Close the door on that chapter in your life and you give yourselfthe opportunity to meet someone new. The more open you are toit, the more likely you will attract it into your life. So, when you aresitting there thinking that you will never meet anyone else, just remember, we create our experiences by what we continually tellourselves. Change your thinking and you’ll change your life! Thinking that you will never meet anyone again is exactly what youwill experience. The likelihood of you living on this earth for the restof your life and believing that you will never meet anyone again is;well, ludicrous. You just never know, when you least expect it; there they are. But, you have to be open to it and in order to do that; you have tochange your perspective and change what you tell yourself about the situation. Face the facts. Begin to put it behind you and you will be closer to gettingwhat you want from life. Wanting something that isn’t working or hurts youjust doesn’t make sense. Who really wants to hold onto pain? Choose to believe in your future again and simply know that you havethe power to control what you tell yourself about anything. You canactually change your life by choosing what you think about. Start to focus on what you want; not on what you don’t want; and before you know it; you’ll meet someone new.

By Joseph Perrello The theology of the Apostle Paul emphasizes that mankind possesses the vestiges of an instinctive awareness of God, an innate realization that humanity owes an obligation to Him; an awareness that has been incorporated within man at creation. Moreover, the Apostle writes in chapter one of his letter to the Romans, since earliest times, men were able to discern God’s existence and eternal power by the things He created. Though aware of these things, they refused to retain the true knowledge of God in their minds or admit their obligation to Him, preferring instead, to invent ridicules ideas of what God was like and how they should serve Him. Mankind deliberately refused to acknowledge God as He really is, Paul wrote. They knew the reality about Him, but refused to worship Him in truth. Because they chose to believe lies, God released them to their own corrupt devices. He permitted humanity to reap the results of its own reprobate thinking. Men created and worshiped their own gods; gods made to resemble birds, animals, snakes and humans; the things God has created. As a result, Paul stated, at the Judgment Day, when men stand before God, they will have no valid excuse for not having followed the truth, since they once knew it and deliberately chose not to follow it. I. Men find it impossible to divest themselves of the need to worship something. The awareness of the spiritual realm is universally innate in humanity; it always has been a part of the human psyche. While some do not recognize its lesser manifestations, the need to worship is a part of us all. In his book, “Primitive Religions,” published in 1891, Professor G.T. Bettany recorded that, though some tribes may be without a higher sense of religion, few, if any, do not believe in spiritual beings of some kind. Charles Darwin in his “Descent of Man,” (vol i; p. 143) also noted this tendency in the human race. He wrote, “If . . . we include in the term ‘religion’ the belief in unseen or spiritual agencies . . . this belief seems to be universal with the less civilized races.” The animist’s fear that spiritual beings inhabit natural objects and must be appeased, the dread that the spirits of the dead must be worshiped to prevent them from harming the living, the worship of the spirits in the powers of nature, the belief of totemism that certain animals and plants must be respected to refrain them from injuring humans, the rituals of sorcery, shamanism, witchcraft and numerous other formulas, are religious practices utilized by primitives seeking to control the gods before whom they feel a sense of guilt. These practices bear witness that even remote tribes possess vestiges of an awareness of the existence of God, and sense that mankind has offended Him; and therefore an obligation is due Him. True, this perception of a deity whom men have offended is corrupted, but it is nevertheless real. The physician Luke dramatically illustrated the deep-rooted, intrinsic fear in the human psyche that the gods are displeased with men and must be appeased, during his travels with the Apostle Paul. While in Athens, he and the Apostle noticed idols everywhere. An altar bearing the plaintive inscription, To the unknown god, especially caught their attention. The Athenians feared that, in their ignorance, they might have neglected to appease a god unknown to them. In an effort to diminish the risks of incurring his wrath - should such a god exist they fashioned an altar. No doubt suitable ritual practices were concocted. It was a pathetic attempt to control the unknown god and bend him to their will, though the Athenians never could be sure they had succeeded. The account is a typical example of the insecurity felt by those who have not learned the revealed nature of the true God. It is precisely this lack of understanding that generates profound terror in them. Men do not know God, but have a deep-rooted sense of guilt toward Him, so they fear Him.In their fear they attempt to manipulate Him.*****II.”A formula is something that worked once, and keeps trying to do it again.” (Henry S. Haskins; “Family Word Finder,” Readers Digest, page 322.) Since the beginning of the apostasy, men have invented practices by which they endeavor to place human restrictions on God. Our society has fallen heir to this propensity in our race. As a result, the field of religion in our generation has become a hotbed of religious formulas that endeavor to shrink God to human proportions. Whole cults have proliferated around such formulas. In Christianity, denominations have split over them. In the past few generations, such tactics have devastated the American church. Originally, with humanity’s rejection of truth in the infancy of our race, the practice of mankinds need to worship took simple forms the adoration of idols, animals, potentates, sun, moon, and planets, et cetera, endeavoring to control or manipulate these gods, by inventing religious formulas for that purpose. Although this rudimentary idolatry is still practiced in some communities, among “civilized” peoples, the modern endeavor to control the true God manifests a more sophisticated expression. Until descending into disgrace, several televangelist pervaded the screen with their name-it-and-claim-it ballyhoos, which is nothing more than the proclamation that men can control God and bend Him to their will by simply naming their desires and claiming it already accomplished. By their doing this, God supposedly was compelled to grant these desires. However, God is not an infinite vending machine; we cannot insert a claimed desire, say we believe it to be accomplished, and out pops that which we claimed. Neither will God consent to being controlled by men formulas not withstanding. “Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. (Romans 5:1-2). This is the only “formula” necessary for a right relationship with the true God. -30- Josprel (Joseph Perrello) josprel@verison.net Josprel is an ordained minister who resides in Western New York - just across the Niagara River from Canada.

By Darrell Feltmate Wood turners as a group tend to be people who appreciate the out of doors, whether it be to walk in the woods as pure enjoyment of nature or a search for the wood that makes a treasure yet to be seen. Such a turn of enjoyment also tends to make the turner of wood into a person who appreciates a summer garden with its blooms and foliage of myriad colors. How then, might one integrate the two? Wood has long had its place in the garden. The earliest tools were made of wood whether the handle or blade of a shovel or trowel. Many gardens are edged with wood either in the form of rounds from a trunk, boards laid as brick or the more modern railroad tie given new life as garden surround. The fascination with raised bed gardening in recent times has only added to the use of week as border and edging. Moreover, who could forget the fascination of peering through the wooden pickets of the old fence into the forbidden world of the neighbor’s garden when one was merely a lad or lass, thinking of the first strawberry of the season? Even for something as simple a planting tool, the wood turner may step forward. These days a trowel of metal and plastic is the norm while only a few short years ago a gardener would have used a wooden dibber, sometimes called a dibble, to get the seeds and bulbs in place. Certainly no English gardener would be found without one. There are still a few places where one can purchase a dibber, and organic gardeners have become once again champions of these simple tools of wood, but for the turner they are a simple project and can be made to fit one’s hand. A piece of suitable wood such as maple or ash is placed on the lathe and turned round. A handle of about four inches is turned at one end and then the other is given an elegant curve to a blunt point. For the purposes of later planting, particularly of bulbs, a series of rings is etched along the curve with the pint of a skew, about an inch apart. These serve as depth gages to ensure that seeds and bulbs are planted to the correct depth. Usually a dibber is used in well prepared garden soil. Either it is used to lightly scratch a line for planting small seeds or inserted a bit deeper for the large ones. It is at bulb planting it excels. For a bulb to be planted three inches deep as for instance in the case of a gladioli, the dibber is plunged to a depth of four inches as indicated by its depth lines. This allows for later infilling of the hole by a bit of dirt and leaving the three inch depth required by the bulb. In fact the hole tends to fill up with earth, especially in good, well tilled ground, and this discourages many who do not know the trick to a dibber to conclude that it is no good. In fact, it is merely necessary to insert the tool and rotate it in a small circle to the circumference of the bulb to leave the proper hole with lightly packed earth on the sides. A bulb is inserted into the hole and the dibber plunged immediately beside it and rocked back and forth. As the dibber is removed it backfills over the bulb and leaves a hole for watering that will gradually be filled with earth from the gentle erosion of the summer rains. As one uses a dibber in the garden from the hand of the wood turner it is not hard to realize that we have joined the ranks of gardeners from yesteryear in carefully planting for the future.

By N. Johnson After the miracle diet drug, Fen Phen, was introduced in the early 90s, nearly 6.5 million people consumed the drug. The reason for such a large consumption was the immediate weight loss associated with the drug. However, after ties between Fen Phen and the fatal Primary Pulmonary Hypertension were established, American Home Products removed the drug from the market in mid September of 97. While Fen Phen supporters did not want to believe the horrible side effects that would befall some, they soon came to the realization that the drug was quite harmful. Soon after Fen Phen was pulled from American shelves, evidence implicating AHP of withholding serious knowledge of the harmful side effects the drug would cause came to light. Since millions of people had taken the diet drug Fen Phen, a large percentage of these people were experiencing drastic side effects, and in some cases even death. Many people say they would pay any price to lose weight. However, death was not the price they wanted to pay. A large number of the lawsuits filed in state court were filed because of the different effects Fen Phen caused on peoples health. The people filing suit were seeking some type of compensation for the rising medical bills they were incurring. In late 1997, every single federal Fen Phen case was transferred to the United States District Court. This event started a series of nationwide Fen Phen settlements. In mid-November of 99, preliminary approval was given to the settlement class. In order to find that the agreement reached in the settlement was fair, the district court held a hearing. In August of 2000, the settlement agreement was awarded approval. Thus creating the American Home Products Settlement Trust. After attempts to overturn the courts ruling, the AHP gave in to the settlement. If you are a patient who has suffered from PPH (Primary Pulmonary Hypertension) caused by the diet drug Fen Phen, then you should know that you are not part of the settlement agreement with AHP. All Primary Pulmonary Hypertension patients are required to file independent lawsuits to make any legal claim.

By R.L. Morgan A friend of mine is convinced that smell has a lot to do with dating attraction. He believes people exude a human pheromone of sorts, functioning as an attractant of the opposite sex. But since pheromone receptors have not yet been found in humans, what scent does attract us? Some women believe perfume is an attractant, so they slather themselves with it. They dont realize that most men abhor being with a woman who reeks, no matter how expensive the perfume. (Men can go overboard with cologne as well.) In the 1992 film Scent of a Woman Al Pacinos blind character is drawn to the woman he wants to tango with by her smell. This was so powerful, it became the title of the movie. Ive always thought a whiff of a subtle fragrance was appealing. The idea is to emit an alluring aroma that entices my date to get nearer. Once at the end of a first date, my dining companion and I hugged goodbye. When we disengaged, I noticed his eyes were closed and he took a deep whiff. I love how you smell, he whispered. Ive wondered what scents that would be irresistible wafting toward my dates nose. My ex loved vanilla, so Id raid the kitchen cabinet and dab a bit behind my ears when I wanted to drive him crazy. Now Ive come upon a different universally drool-inducing smell that gets most everyones attention. But I cant find it in toilet water form. What is it? Fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies. When you pass a Mrs. Fields store, doesnt the smell which is purposefully fanned into the corridors beckon you, just as the Sirens to Odysseus? Dont you want to stop and buy, or at the minimum, just enjoy the smell? Most people do. So why doesnt someone package that smell? It would ensure youd be followed by men and probably some women like a fish monger is trailed by cats. Then you wouldnt have to worry about going to singles bars, speed dating, or online dating sites. Youd have a parade of men following you and you could merely pick and choose from among the masses. Of course, you may have trouble shaking the ones you reject. You dont want to encourage stalkers just because your scent is irresistible. Maybe you could carry a skunk scent aerosol can to spray behind the man/men youve chosen, to separate them from the riff raff. So, Ill let you know when Ive developed eau de chocolate chip cookie. Im sure youll want to buy it by the gallon. (Epilogue: I was at a conference a few days after I posted this and discussed this concept with a male flirt buddy. He said hed definitely be driven crazy by eau de chocolate chip cookie. Serendipitously, a few minutes later the afternoon break refreshments arrived chocolate chip cookies. I took one over to him and rubbed it clearly on my neck. He took the bait and started nibbling away on my neck, not the cookie!) R.L.

By Sue And Chuck DeFiore It amazes me, how often during a week, I hear “It’s not my fault, it’s not my responsibility”. It seems that in today’s society no one wants to take responsibility for anything. Parents don’t or won’t take the responsibility of how their children turn out. It’s the daycare’s fault, the school’s fault, the college’s fault, the cop’s fault, … you get the picture. As far as children go today, newsflash parents, “It is your fault.” They are your children, not the daycare’s or the schools. It is your responsibility to be sure that they get to school, that they learn in school, and what they do after school. That means paying attention to what your children are doing. Taking an interest in the homework they have, and if they don’t have any, giving them some. Monitoring what kind of music they listen to, what they watch on television, what kind of movies they watch, and the video games they play. Teaching them the difference between reality and imaginary ideas, people and things. Television and video games are not baby-sitters, and neither is the school system. Your children are your responsibility, and in all honesty if you don’t have the time to spend with your children, then don’t have them. I fully realize that both parents have to work today because of the cost of things. However, there are parents raising children who are aware of what their children are doing, spend time with them, and instill in them ethics, morals and values so that their children can become productive adults. Unfortunately, these parents appear to be few and far between. Teachers, your job is to teach our children. The crying about class size doesn’t cut it. When I attended school we had a minimum of 30 students in most classes, and teachers taught and we all passed our Regents exams before graduating high school. Unfortunately, while I was in college I could see the writing on the wall already regarding our education system. Those who were going into teaching only had to pass/fail classes such as psychology, sociology, and learning theory classes; and they couldn’t even do that. Our education system has gone downhill since the mid 70’s. Yes, there are still some good teachers out there, those in their 40’s and up. However, we have teachers today that can’t read and write, so how can we expect them to teach our children to do so. Some of the teachers today are afraid of being tested on a yearly basis, and many of them should be, because they would not pass. The standards for testing today are a joke. I would love to give a Regents Exam test from a high school in the 50’s, 60’s, and even early 70’s. Both the students and the teachers today wouldn’t pass. I know I am making a lot of people angry, and you should be. The fault lies with our educational system. It has disintegrated over the years. Too many other factors have come into play in our school system. This is something that should not have happened. In order to get good teachers, children and parents have to respect them, and unfortunately today that is not the case. When I was attending school, we respected our teachers and our principals. Suspension was a punishment and an embarrassment, both to ourselves and our parents. Teachers were allowed to reprimand students. They didn’t have to worry about student rights, students self esteem, etc. When we start respecting our teachers again, let them teach and not worry about being politically correct, and pay them a salary they can live on we will get the better educated to teach our children. In addition, parents look at teachers as their baby-sitters, and expect them not only to educate their child but to help raise them. Parents you have a responsibility to your child and to the teacher. You have to respect the teacher and support them, not fight them. So many of the problems today both with parenting and teaching is the way society and government put handcuffs on both. Parents can’t even hit their children today without the threat of being a child abuser and being carted off the jail, court or worse. Discipline is not abuse, and I believe that discipline is sorely needed. I am not advocating child abuse, however, you cannot reason with a 2 year old sticking their finger in a wall socket. A firm no, with a slight slap of the hand works wonders. I am amazed at what children get away with today. However, they get away with these things, because parents let them. Over the years we’ve let government, vocal parental groups, legislators and the legal system dictate how we raise our children. Why? Because then we can use the mantra, “It’s not my fault, it’s not my responsibility”. People today are to quick to abdicate responsibility to everyone but themselves. One of the biggest problems are all the frivolous lawsuits out there. Children taking their parents to court. Parents suing companies because of hot coffee, a hot pickle. These cases get too much attention and unbelievably juries that give out awards. The media perpetuates many of the problems today. By focusing so much attention on the people that do harm to others, more individuals out there figure if they want attention they need to do the same. This becomes a vicious cycle, and teaches our children the wrong way to accomplish things. So, how do we fix it. We all take responsibility for our actions. We don’t abdicate our responsibility. We admit we are human, we make mistakes, and move forward from there. Try and I mean really try not to make the same mistakes over and over. But most important of all, take the responsibility for your own screw ups and don’t put the blame on anyone else.
