It can cut the companies out of profits.

I like puns because they represent the simple misunderstandings that can interfere so badly with our lives.
Two of my favorites

Double damn.

From the genetics point of view, the reason for our existence is to pass on our genes to future generations. Strands of viral genetic code have become permanently embedded within the genetic code of other organisms. This is the perfect genetic situation; the virus passes on its genetic code with no need for the virus to actually to exist.
This may seem to be a screwball idea, but it helps me make sense of relationships.
Time after time, generation after generation, women get tangled up with jerks while the nice guys complain that women aren’t interested in them.
It must be because the jerks are perceived at some level to be better mating material. Jerks must have the qualities that ensure their genes persist, thereby providing the best chance for the women’s genes to persist.
Both parties want the jerk to get a leg over.
Now if you could only bottle jerk pheromones.
is that they time out too quickly. Some good things are written and you can't resurrect them like you can with forums and polls.
The 20-year plan: to get really old. Does this change your thinking? Does it explain why so many people get divorced late in life?
Or is it failure to do these, which I found on the internet?
After losing a woman that I once loved, and a marriage of almost 37 years, here’s the advice I wish I would have had:
1) Never stop courting. Never stop dating. NEVER EVER take that woman for granted.
2) PROTECT YOUR OWN HEART. Just as you committed to being the protector of her heart, you must guard your own with the same vigilance. Love yourself fully, love the world openly.
3) FALL IN LOVE OVER and OVER and OVER again.
4) ALWAYS SEE THE BEST in her. Focus only on what you love.
5) IT’S NOT YOUR JOB TO CHANGE OR FIX HER… your job is to love her as she is with no expectation of her ever changing
6) TAKE FULL ACCOUNTABILITY for your own emotions: It’s not your wife’s job to make you happy, and she CAN’T make you sad. You are responsible for finding your own happiness.
7) NEVER BLAME your wife If YOU get frustrated or angry at her, it is only because it is triggering something inside of YOU. DON’T RUN-AWAY WHEN SHE’S UPSET. Stand present and strong and let her know you aren’t going anywhere. Listen to what she is really saying behind the words and emotion.
9) BE SILLY… don’t take yourself so damn seriously. Laugh. And make her laugh. Laughter makes everything else easier.
10) FILL HER SOUL EVERYDAY… learn her love languages and the specific ways that she feels important and validated and CHERISHED.
11) BE PRESENT. Give her not only your time, but your focus, your attention and your soul. Treat her as you would your most valuable client. She is.
12) BE WILLING TO TAKE HER SEXUALLY, to carry her away in the power of your masculine presence, to consume her and devour her with your strength, and to penetrate her to the deepest levels of her soul. Let her melt into her feminine softness as she knows she can trust you fully.
13) DON’T BE AN IDIOT…. And don’t be afraid of being one either. You will make mistakes and so will she.
14) GIVE HER SPACE… The woman is so good at giving and giving, and sometimes she will need to be reminded to take time to nurture herself.
15) BE VULNERABLE… you don’t have to have it all together. Be willing to share your fears and feelings, and quick to acknowledge your mistakes.
16) BE FULLY TRANSPARENT. If you want to have trust you must be willing to share EVERYTHING
17) NEVER STOP GROWING TOGETHER… The stagnant pond breeds malaria, the flowing stream is always fresh and cool.
18) DON’T WORRY ABOUT MONEY. Money is a game, find ways to work together as a team to win it. It never helps when teammates fight. Figure out ways to leverage both persons strength to win.
19) FORGIVE IMMEDIATELY and focus on the future rather than carrying weight from the past. Don’t let your history hold you hostage. FORGIVENESS IS FREEDOM.
20) ALWAYS CHOOSE LOVE.
In preparation to repatriate to Canada I went to the closet to find my snowshoes, and there they were.
Gone!
I was never attracted to the ritual of the daily shave, so I wore a beard for most of my life. The thing that has kept me clean shaven for the past year is the pursuit of the perfect shave.
Allow 1 hour.
Draw a bath with water as hot as you can take. Immerse and soak until you get bored. Soak your head periodically. Wash and rinse your hair. This activity allows time for the heat and moisture to soften your whiskers. Apply shaving cream, and wait as long as its stinging dryness will allow.
Taking a new razor blade, shave with the grain of the hair. This will cut the hair with a minimum of irritation. Use a hand mirror if you wish. After shaving, continue with the remainder of your bath adding more hot water as required.
Shave again when you are all nice and wrinkly clean. The pause between the first and second shaves allows your skin and hair to relax causing the longer hairs to protrude above skin level. The Reapply the shave cream and shave very carefully against the grain. Take care to feel around to find any hairs that you missed. Take your time doing this and you will be very happy with the result, and so will your significant other.
