More Magic Moments

July 28th, 2010

Mark became furious when his wife, Mindy, had an affair. “He’s a jerk!” Mark fumed. That “jerk” was doing the things for her that Mark used to do before they were married. Mr. Jerk gave Mindy the feelings of love and devotion that she had been missing from Mark. Mark was very much in love with his wife. Unfortunately the only time he showed her that side was when he was in the mood for sex. Even then it was nothing much but raw passion. He wasn’t able to save his marriage.

Mindy then went on to marry the “jerk” and was doomed to repeat the same patterns of neglect she had been in with Mark. Love Relationship Headquarters sees this same scenario over and over again. That’s why we have felt compelled to help people get on a different pathway in their lives.

Women want to be worshipped and adored outside the bedroom as well as within. Of course, she wants that inside the bedroom, too, but if she doesn’t get it “outside,” she doesn’t appreciate what she gets “inside.”

Women need to know they count. They want to know that they are more important than anything else going on in their husbands’ lives. It does not matter what it is – if something is placed before your women she will feel neglected.

Women need to know they count. That they’re more important to their husbands than other things in the men’s world. It does not matter what it is – if something is placed before your women she will feel neglected..

Wealth And Marriage – Do They Mix?

July 28th, 2010

If you want to get a buzz, read about Donald Trump, one of the most fascinating men in history who seems to have a penchant for not caring if he saves a marriage or not. The only marriage he has ever cared about is his marriage to his job. He cares about saving the true loves of his life – building, acquiring things, and accumulating riches. Brilliant in business, he has built a financial empire worth billions despite several bankruptcies.

It’s interesting to us, as marriage and relationship advisers to note that, whereas Trump has been immensely productive in buying and selling hotels, casinos, clubs and almost anything else you can name, he’s been a flop when it comes to producing a lasting marriage with a woman. He’s managed to sire a passel of kids, including at least one, at the time of this writing, with his latest wife who is 24 years younger than he; and he has more than a few grandchildren.

As we noted, his passion is business and making money – not making wives happy. He knows that his imbalanced passions are an issue: “I just know it’s very hard for them [his ex-wives] to compete because I do love what I do. I really love it.”

Sounds a little like talk show host, Larry King, doesn’t it? King has actually surpassed Donald Trump in numbers of wives. He’s on his 8th marriage that’s shaky at best according to latest reports. There is no evidence of his trying to save any of those marriages (although latest reports say he and his wife have decided to make a go of it). Trump, on the other hand, despite any other liaisons he’s had, is only on his 3rd legal hookup at the marital altar.

So, really, deep down; are these men happy? Well, think about it. Collectively, these two guys have had 9-10 divorces. I don’t think anyone would say that all those breakups were friendly. In fact, if we were bettors, we’d wager that none of them were. Was the money and the power worth all the pain the wives, and possibly the husbands suffered – the anger, hurt, and frustration that resulted because neither one of these men was willing to do what was necessary to save at least one marriage? We don’t think so. Have they hardened their hearts so much that they just don’t care? Even if their wives were the ones who dumped their husbands, the way the men have conducted their lives has begged for trouble.

Men (or women) like Trump and King may seem happy at any given moment (although to look at King’s face, you wonder if he’s ever happy about anything). But if The Donald was truly happy deep down inside, and were at peace with himself and God, why wouldn’t half a dozen successful hotels or casinos be enough? Success and wealth is supposed to offer you more time to enjoy your family and friends – enjoy the toys that wealth brings. That would also leave him time to concentrate on enjoying a loving, close marriage that he would do anything to preserve, and he’d still have some energy left over for a couple more hotels or resorts.

Why would King, who is at the top of his game as a TV talk show host, and given his abominable record as a husband, fool around with his wife’s sister instead of making his present marriage work? An even better question is what kind of example to these men think they are setting for their children and grandchildren?

I would imagine that peace is an elusive state of mind for these men. They are trying to still a restlessness inside by using the power of the money they possess to find lasting happiness and love. We cannot know another’s heart, but the Bible asks a pertinent question: What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? And, we might ask, what does it profit a man (or woman) if he becomes rich and loses the one he promised to love the rest of his life? We’d say: very little.

We have no idea what’s in their hearts, but a question in the Bible seems to ring loud and clear: What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? And, we might ask, what does it profit a man (or woman) if he becomes rich and loses the one he promised to love the rest of his life? We’d say: very little.

Although you aren’t The Donald, or probably don’t have the power and reach of The King, have you found yourself married to something else other than your husband or wife? It could be a job, your friends, sports, gambling or even alcohol that takes you away from your love and your family. It mean more to you than the one to whom you pledged your life? Before you say no, ask yourself this: How many times in the last month have I chosen to spend time at work [or whatever it is in your life], rather than being with my spouse? If the answer is regularly, then you are on your way to weakening or destroying your marriage, rather than saving it; even if, on the surface, everything seems fine.

If you or the one you love has chosen something else over your marriage, there is still hope. Your marriage can be saved! At Love Relationship Headquarters, there are answers. Your marriage not only can be rescued, but it can be a joyful, love-filled ongoing affair, whether you have money or not, that doesn’t need to end. We show you how to mend, keep, and enjoy your relationship with your husband or wife. The result? The type of happiness that everyone wants.

Stonewash Your Jeans Yourself

July 27th, 2010

Stonewashed jeans are the best. The way to make the basic blue jean is a closely-guarded secret. Cotton threads are dyed blue and woven together by supernatural flying animals that are half parakeet half leopard. Leopardkeets. Stonewashed jeans are regular jeans more mysterious counterpart. I believe that to make stone-washed jeans one must fill a large industrial washer with a combination of jeans and small stone-faced children. Once the dryer is turned on the children pound the jeans until they become soft and weathered.

OK… maybe not! I should do probably do some research. I like stonewashed jeans so very much, I have spent hours figuring out how it is done. First, you get some jeans. Jeans, for those that don’t know, are a type of pant made from denim. Denim is a rugged cotton twill textile, in which the weft passes under two or more warp threads. This weaving produces the familiar diagonal ribbing identifiable on the reverse of the fabric, which distinguishes denim from cotton duck. Jeans are often blue because denim itself is traditionally blue, but stonewashed jeans can be any color at all. Stonewashed jeans could be black or if you like showtunes and wine spritzers your jeans can be white.

Best I can tell, jeans are American as apple pie. But the cheapest jeans are made in China and Thailand so save yourself some money and buy your jeans in bulk from the poverty-stricken Asian country of your choice. You might find more info on buying jeans online.

After you get the jeans, they must be stonewashed. The hard part is finding and purchasing a big dryer with a cylindrical drum inside in which you can place the jeans and the stones. In fact, it would probably be more convenient to run jeans over with a car than to fill a dryer with rocks and jeans. How many people have a large dryer to ruin by putting stones in it? In contrast, many many people have a car. But if you ran over your jeans with a car repeatedly would you call them car-washed jeans? I digress.

This industrial stone-washing dryer will set you back about 6 or 7 thousand bucks. But hey – the more expensive the jeans, the better right? Once you have the big dryer to put the jeans and stone into, you then must get the stones. You can use pretty much any igneous or volcanic rock you want. Some people use pumice. I prefer to use a mix of corundum and emeralds but I’m fancy that way.

Once you place the jeans and the stones inside the dryer. As the cylinder inside the dryer spins, the tumbling stones ride up the paddles inside the drum and fall back down onto the jean fabric. The denim becomes beaten and weathered. Voila, you have Stonewashed jeans and are ready for that Van Halen.

College Campus Safety–Easy To Use!

July 24th, 2010

It was when I began college at South Dakota that I became worrisome about college campus safety. It was because all my relatives live in another state and this was the first time I was to live alone.

There was a briefing for us freshmen one time about the value of personal security tools specifically for those students who have to attend night classes. The speaker remarked that there have been incidents when criminals victimized students who were not from that state.

When I got back to my dorm, I called up my dad and relayed the speaker’s message. He said that he was in complete agreement and arranged to get me some pepper spray or maybe a stun gun.

I searched the Internet for personal security tools and found a multitude of devices that would be perfect for college campus safety. I finally decided on a personal alarm because of its versatility.

If I was just coming from a party or a late night study session, I wanted to have something on my person that could defend against those with untoward intentions. After a while, I started sharing this find with my friends, emphasizing the need for college campus safety.

A few months into my second semester, I witnessed another student being harassed by what looked like two armed men. I saw a guard off in the distance who I was sure I couldn’t reach in time.

I thought of setting off my personal alarm instead. The guard heard it and the would-be-criminals fled, not wanting a confrontation.

The girl who was being tormented earlier offered her thanks and queried after my personal alarm. I shared with her all I that I knew about personal security tools as we headed to the dormitories. I was happy to have had the presence of mind to protect the college campus safety then.

Self Defense Products

July 24th, 2010

I used to be ignorant about self defense products before my own brother had a scary experience. He was coming home late from a concert in Bristol and was taken by surprise by a man who wanted to rob him.

Pete told us the terrifying account of how he was held at knifepoint in an abandoned parking lot. Thinking only of preserving his life, he gave the robber his cash, his mp3 player and his mobile phone.

When he stumbled home, he appeared shell shocked and we were all immediately upset over his situation. He promised he wasn’t hurt but even after a few days had past, he would continually complain that he could have retained his stuff if only he had fought back or had defense weapons like a stun gun or pepper spray with him.

Being the older sibling, I was more concerned about how he could defend himself because of his slight frame. I quickly went online to look for more information about self defense products.

Together, we browsed through different products. I said that if the parking lot only had some hidden cameras, then maybe the authorities could have hunted the robber down. He added that a personal alarm could have scared the thief away.

Our mother overheard us talking and decided to order some self defense products the very next day. Aside from the conventional pepper spray that she got, she also purchased some safety lights that she thought could benefit us anytime we had to be out at night.

The harrowing incident that my brother went through persuaded me to always have someone escort me to and from work. But when it was impossible to catch someone available, it was a relief to have some self defense products on my person.

I want to never have to use them on anyone but if the situation ever arrives, I’m confident in my security.

Self Defense Products Specially Designed For Women–Easy To Use!

July 24th, 2010

Working a graveyard shift was the last item in my job list. I was in a dilemma while staring at the piece of paper from the HR department. I needed a job very badly but I did not want to be assigned on a night schedule. But three months of job hunting was taking a toll on me.

Because I needed a job desperately, I accepted the terms of the call center agent position. The shift started at midnight and ended the following day at noon. To protect ourselves, it was suggested that we brought along self-defense products specially designed for women since we had to report to work late at night.

The pepper spray that I had brought with me for a long time had never been used, but it was not useless at all. I knew that it was just there in my bag, and that knowledge made me feel secure.

A lady in my team successfully thwarted a mugger with her cell phone stun gun one night. She came in late and when asked why her blouse was dirty and her face scratched, she recounted how she crashed on a garbage pile while running away from her attacker.

That really frightened some of the ladies in my department who refused to bring self-defense products specially designed for women.

I suggested a travel safety alarm for an agent in her fifties who expressed anxiety over using any defensive gadget. It is one of the self-defense products specially designed for women that would help her if she is in trouble.

In addition to the safety alarm that I got for myself, the safety light proved to be so useful especially during brownouts that happened without warning.

The self-defense products specially designed for women that I owned were still with me several months after I got them. I purchased a couple of nanny cameras when I had to leave my three-year old son in the care of a babysitter while I worked overnight.

When it comes to hobbyists, some folks may never be quite as fanatical as automobile enthusiast. Cars are such a deeply valued aspect of modern culture that entire genres of community have grown up around them. One such group is collecting model scale cars.

These cars are exactly what they sound like, scaled won versions of their real world counterparts. The sizes do vary, but the craftsmanship in this little wonders is astounding in many cases.

Creating clubs for like minded individuals is always fun to do. Run some simple ads in the appropriate newspapers and simply set up a time to sit around and talk shop! You can work on the model cars together, give each other pointers and tips, and basically just show off your great collections.

Speaking of showing off, how about shows for enthusiasts? Like regular car shows, you can have judging for prizes, like best custom, best restoration, best paint, best detailing, and the list goes on. This would be a great and fun way to take the cars out on the road, from town to town. Best of all, you can do it in less space than a full sized sedan would take up!

Thinking about sharing tips and pointers, you could design an e-zine or a nice little mailer with these items in it. If it became popular enough you could sell subscriptions.

You can also use them for advertising collectibles for sale and trade, and for promoting the latest shows and club meetings.

Wireless Alarm Home Security System–Easy To Install!

July 22nd, 2010

I never dreamt I would be living in a huge ten-room house with an Olympic size swimming pool, gazebo, and six-car garage. No, it was not my house, but I was tasked to oversee its upkeep while my bachelor boss travelled abroad to take care of a multinational business.

With the Home Safe Wireless Home Security System in place, I always went to bed not worrying about security at all.

I was not satisfied with the presence of two ferocious-looking dogs to guard the vicinity and help me with security. My boss approved when I recommended that an alarm system be installed in his house.

The yellow pages did not really give me a good list of wireless alarm systems so I searched online. It is where I knew of Home Safe Wireless Home Security System and how it could safeguard homes.

It came with a wireless window or door sensor that worked within 250 feet. In addition, motion can be detected within eight yards. Its remote control is easy to use with the panic button to activate or deactivate the alarm.

I had the chance to test the wireless alarms unintentionally one night when I was locked out and had to force my upstairs bedroom window open to get in the house. As soon as my hand touched the window frame, the alarm rang out and I was truly stunned.

The alarm was still blaring loudly when I got a recorded call from my cell phone about the activated alarm in the house. That was an unexpected and unplanned test of how Home Safe Wireless Home Security System worked.

Asked if the home alarm system I bought was good, I told my employer that I had the first-hand experience of how effective it was. With the Home Safe Wireless Home Security System, I don’t care if the Dobermans get lazy.
