The Nothing Box

When you ask your Beloved what he is thinking about, nine times out of ten he will reply, “Nothing.” How can that be? A woman, with her busy brain, can’t believe he isn’t thinking of anything at all. I came across this clip which explains it all. Enjoy! Read More

Siamese Fighting Fish

Siamese fighting fish thrive in conditions that will kill most other fish. Because they breathe air directly, as well as obtaining oxygen through their gills like other fish, they can survive in a very small container of water. They don’t need a deep Read More

Man Time

After many years observing that strange species “Man” I have come to the conclusion that Man doesn’t have the same sense of time as “Woman”.   Man says: “I’ll call you soon.”  Woman thinks: “Great! He’s going to call me tonight.” Man calls Read More

Is There Any Blood?

When my children were small, the peace of the day was often shattered by screams of rage, pain or indignation. One or more of my brood would come running, with shrieks of anger, or tales of injustice, real or imaginary, beginning with those immortal words Read More

Never Say Never

Scenario One: There was a phrase your mother used when she was annoyed with you that you really hated. “I’ll give you something to cry about!” she used to say. You were NEVER going to say it to your own children. You get upset, and guess what pops out? Read More

Why I'd Like To Nuke MySpace

I’d like to nuke MySpace. And Facebook. And Match.Com and all its variations! Why? Because they have become yet another mechanism for people to torture themselves.   I’m always getting calls that go something like this:   He/she has still Read More

Why Vitamin C?

Did you know that most animals make their own Vitamin C? Human beings are amongst a very small group of animals that have to get their Vitamin C from dietary sources. Guinea pigs, fruit eating bats, the red vented bulbul bird, and primates are the only Read More

The Elephant in the Living Room

Alcoholism is often referred to as The Elephant in the Living Room. When one family member has a problem with alcohol, other family members tiptoe around it. There is this giant Problem in the house, but everyone tries to pretend that it is not there. Read More

The Scarcity Mentality

When you’re having money problems, it is important to watch your budget and be sensible about paying off debt. You can’t let money slip through your fingers and expect a financial miracle to happen. But it is equally important to avoid a “scarcity mentality” Read More

The Battle of the Bulge

When women embark on a weight loss program, it’s generally because they want to lose the fat tummy and the thunder thighs. That’s where the weight really shows. There’s a reason for that. The body is designed to store fat in the good times as a reserve Read More

DIY

Some of the negative behaviours that undermine relationships are “equal opportunity”. Both sexes are guilty of them. But DIY is a female failing, and begins very early on in a relationship. It starts like this. She has found the Perfect Man … BUT … and Read More

Is This You?

I was talking to a couple of the staff members at the gym the other day when a woman walked in. “Look, there’s Claire’s,” remarked one. “She must be between boyfriends again.” The other one grinned and agreed.   I glanced at the woman they were Read More

I decided to pull a card to see what the Tarot had to say about the upcoming Olympics. The card that I pulled was Death. So far we have seen the tragic stabbing of a relative of a US team member and the suicide of his assailant; terrorist bombings in Read More

"He Hates That Bitch"

I believe that our thoughts shape our lives. I am as careful with what I put into my mind as I am with the food I put into my body. I read good literature, listen to uplifting music, and avoid watching television programs that are negative or violent. Read More

Held Prisoner!

When a man kidnaps a woman and holds her prisoner it makes headlines. When a man hits his partner to keep her passive within a bad relationship it is also easy to recognize, and we have a lot of mechanisms to help such women. But there is another form Read More

Stop Killing Your Fish!

Very few people feed their fish correctly. They either feed them too much or too little. Yes, even in pet stores!   Too much is when you feed them more than they can eat at one time. The uneaten food rots in the water, turning it bad and making Read More
