RE: question for the guys

The woman that you have interest in may have a bad history or experience with men.

She can either have been hurt badly in her past relationships or she may have seen how her friends have been cheated on.

She may also have seen how men boost about their capabilities in getting women on bed and ditching them right after that.

Therefore it is natural that before she commits into a relationship with you, she will want to know if you are trustworthy so that she will not get hurt.

In this case, her distrust in men will urge her to have the idea of playing hard to get with you.

A woman who has gone through such bad times and experiences in relationship tends to hold back more than anyone else. She may be trying her very best to overcome her own insecurity and fear by testing your intentions or commitment in this courtship.

Only when all her fears and doubts are gone, she will then be able to face and start a future relationship with you. Therefore what you need to do is to assist her in getting over her past and look forward for a new relationship with you.

RE: dreams/nightmares

Solving problems isn't what most of us will associate with nightmares, but some believe that these nightly frights are signals about things that are wrong, or need facing up to. Although dreams can be intense and often include emotions of anxiety and fear, a bad dream becomes a nightmare when, because of the intensity of emotions, we wake up.

Nightmares are often long or elaborate and can be reoccurring. Alcoholics and drug addicts, and people who have experienced trauma, are more likely to have recurrent nightmares.

RE: did you know

The most common use of gelatin is for its thermally reversible gelling properties with water, for example, the production of table jellies. Gelatin is also used in aspic to add flavour to meat products while on gelling it also provides a pleasing shiny appearance to the product. In some cases gelling is known as its "water absorbing property": For example, in canned hams, gelatin can be added to the can before cooking. On cooking the exudate from the meat is absorbed by the gelatin and appears as a gel when the can is opened.

In confectionery, gelatin is used as the gelling binder in gummy products, wine gums etc. In the manufacture of these products gelatin is combined with sugar and glucose syrups. Incompatibility between gelatin and glucose syrup can occur (13) and is a function of the concentration of glucose polymers containing more than 2 glucose units, contained in the syrup. Competition between gelatin and glucose polymers for water in low water content products can result in, at worst, precipitation of the gelatin and at best a marked loss in gelling properties or hardness of the product. It is also known that different gelatins with similar properties in water, can have very different properties in confectionery formulations.

RE: astrological signs

I admit it. It’s one of the things I make sure to look at when I’m scrolling through someone’s online dating profile. It’s not the first thing I look for — photos, height, and the way they describe themselves come first — but yes, I do take note of a person’s astrological sign. I don’t live by my daily horoscope and I wouldn’t entirely discount someone with an incompatible sign if I liked everything else about them. But I do take a look.

RE: arranged marriage,yes or not?

An arranged marriage is a form of marriage, which is arranged by the parents of the couple being married. These marriages can also be arranged based on recommendations of friends and family. This form of marriage is also convenient for those who have been unable to find a suitable match on their own. Some parents may consider the choice of the children before making or accepting a proposal, while some may impose their choices on their children. The modern arranged marriages are informally arranged. The parents compile all the personal details of their child that includes hobbies, interests, educational and family background and a photograph. This information is supplied to marriage bureaus or is sent in response to matrimonial ads. A meeting is arranged between the couple and in most cases, courting is also permitted. Arranged marriages are quite common in several countries such as India, Afghanistan, Japan, Iraq, and Iran. Instances of arranged marriages are also found frequently in North America that has varied cultures.

The latest trend in arranged marriages is selecting a suitable spouse through the Internet. Individuals submit their profile on various matrimonial websites to find an appropriate match. They may get in touch with that person on the phone or through email to develop a cordial relationship.

Arranged marriage is a convenient form of marriage as it is based on religious, educational, and financial compatibility. Parents are usually happy as the marriage bears their seal of approval. Many parents arrange a marriage as a business strategy to grow and expand their business. Property matters can be a very influential factor in arranged marriages. However, these marriages may fail as the relationship is need based and most people have accepted this option only because they failed in love or were unable to find the love of their life on their own.

Statistics suggest that the divorce rate in arranged marriages is comparatively low. There are several instances of couples that have madly fallen in love with each other after they had an arranged marriage.

RE: Do you agree that "love is only a feeling"?

The majority of people confuse love with attraction of the opposite gender. But what they ignore is that attraction is not love and love is definitely not attraction.

Love is not attraction between to people, love is eternal friendship between two people. Love is not made, it is born. Love grows with time, not when you kiss someone and it magically appears.

Love means sacrifice, patience, comprehension. It is an effort of bonding. Attraction is attraction and love is love. The first is animal magnetism and the second, a rational choice.

Love is what you have for your mother, father, sister, brother, and other family members. Love is not a feeling, love is a decision. Love comes with strong feelings, but love it self is not a feeling.

You can love a friend (woman or man, boy or girl), a neighbor, a pet or God in the exact same way.

This is because love, in its general terms, means sacrifice for one another, and not chemistry for one another.

Love cannot be considered a feeling because if were, it would not last. No relationship on earth would survive on feelings because feelings fade with time whether we accept that or not.

A good example of this is the following:

Two couples get married, they "love" each other because they are bonded by attraction. Time passes by, the couple get older and the "love" starts to disappear because they don't find each other attractive any more.

This is the inevitable truth:

Sooner or later, when a husband and wife reach an older age, the attraction will fade and the only thing left will be the decision they have made of spending the rest of their lives with each other.

RE: How to handle criticism?

Criticism is a powerful and dangerous destroyer of not only relationships, but also in making people feel inferior. Feelings of unworthiness, shame, and guilt, are all dangerous emotions often created in us when we are criticized. You need to learn how to respond to this style of poor communication so it doesn't destroy your relationships and doesn't make you feel inferior.

The primary factors of the conditioning aspect that determines whether you become inferior or rise above the circumstance is your attitude towards criticism and failure. Don't forget that there is the creative imagination aspect which is a more powerful influence towards feeling inferior; yet criticism and failure are the powerful influences within the conditioning aspect.

When you feel criticism is a signal of your unworthiness then it begins to stimulate inferiority, shame, and failure. Don't take criticism personally and think you are a failure. If criticism is justly deserved then use it as feedback to adjust your course of action as it guides you back on the path of not feeling inferior.

There is a lot more you can learn about inferiority and criticism to improve how you handle difficult situations and increasing your feelings of self-worth so I encourage you to continue learning about this topic. Overcoming inferiority and having great communication is possible if you work at it.

RE: What is your greatest fear?

The fear of Success is much greater than the fear of failure.

There is no such thing as failure, just results.

Everyone gets undesirable results everyday.

The fear of failure is a phobia. A phobia is a false fear.

It does not exist. People create phobias to avoid success.

Procrastination is the fear of success!

Our greatest fear is who we are!

The reason the fear of success is greater, is because when you are successful in any endeavor, you are more responsible to take care of who you are.

You greatest challenge is to take care of who you are.

It's easy to play it safe.

I don't have to take care of who I am as much, when I play it safe

Your gift is who you are. What you do with who you are is your gift back. You are expected to take very good care of your gift at all times.

Problems are just opportunities to re-focus on taking better care of who you are.
Go for it!

RE: The way to a man's heart is through his stomach -your opinion?

It's long been said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Most of us realize that's really not the case at all. If you want to melt a man's heart you have to present him much more than a well cooked, delicious meal. You have to know what appeals directly to him and what you can do that will make him weak in the knees at the very thought of you.

One of the first things you must do if you want to melt a man's heart is find out all you can about him. Listen intently when he's talking and keep him engaged in conversation. Be interested in what he's saying and ask him leading questions. Men love a woman who seems genuinely interested in them. Don't put on a show and pretend to be hanging on his every word. Instead, use every opportunity you can to discover something new about him.

RE: Good bye thread

My friend to you I bid goodbye
To the friendship that brought me sky
The year has been swell
As if coming from a wishing well
But as all things do
I have to bid adieu
How it pains me to
But there's nothing I can do
Thank you for the memories
The laughter and the tears
They'll linger in my heart
As if we never part
If by chance we meet again
May it be full of blessings in the rain
Yet for now all that I can say
Is to God for you I'll pray..

Elderly Patient

A 90-year-old man said to his doctor, "I've never felt better. I have an 18-year old bride who is pregnant with my child. What do you think about that?"

The doctor considered his question for a minute and then said, "I have an elderly friend who is a hunter and never misses a season. One day when he was going out in a bit of a hurry, he accidentally picked up his umbrella instead of his gun. When he got to the Creek, he saw a rabbit sitting beside the stream. He raised his umbrella and went, 'bang, bang' and the rabbit fell dead. What do you think of that?"

The 90-year-old said, "I'd say somebody else killed that rabbit."

The doctor replied, "My point exactly."

Drunk Again

A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink. Why of course, comes the reply.

The first man then asks: Where are you from?

I'm from Ireland, replies the second man.

The first man responds: You don't say, I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland.

Of Course, replies the second man.


Curious, the first man then asks:"Where in Ireland are you from?

Dublin, comes the reply.

I can't believe it, says the first man."I'm from Dublin too! Let's have another drink to Dublin.

Of course, replies the second man.

Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks: What school did you go to?

Saint Mary's, replies the second man. I graduated in 62.

This is unbelievable! the first man says. I went to Saint Mary's and I graduated in '62, too!

About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. What's been going on? he asks the bartender.

Nothing much, replies the bartender. The O'Malley twins are drunk again.

Stop dwelling on the negative and do something different.

Life’s too short to dwell on things
that pull and tear on your heart strings
so park those thoughts that make you worry
and create new goals to which you’ll hurry.

Make your list of things to do
that always seemed not part of you
make yourself explore unknowns
write down your thoughts dig up those bones

Take a step toward things that scare you
Show who’s boss while mind prepares to
overcome what seems unrealistic
before you lose it and go ballistic

Do something different every day
and watch as life shows new path ways
Life’s too short to dwell on things
that pull and tear on your heart strings

Benefits Of Yoga In Holistic Health And Well-being

As much as yoga is becoming a popular trend, it is actually not newly developed technique. Yoga is a spiritual practice which began in India thousands of years ago. Yet through the millennia, the benefits of yoga have been retained. The benefits of yoga have been from then until now, and many people can attest to its efficacy. The Western world was initially reluctant to acknowledge yoga. But as time went on, scientific evidence supported its benefits. Yoga is in fact comparable to a holistic system of medicine. The practice is spiritual in essence and it focuses to attribute total control over the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of a person.

This
holistic health practice
is actually a form of traditional therapy. It has been developed purely based on the observations and principles of the constitution of the total being. Many people connote yoga to exercise alone. But the practice is more than that- it is a complete package for attaining holistic and total well-being. Within the science of this holistic technique are postures called the asanas. Meditation and breathing techniques termed as the pranayama are among its principles as well. As for the benefits, they are largely dependent of which kind of technique is practiced. The different forms of yoga include the Karma, Raja, Mantra, Kundalini, Bhakti, Laya, Jnana and Hata yoga.

Irrespective of the kind of technique, though, its benefits in stress relief and management have been substantiated by modern medicine. Indeed, yoga is more than an exercise with all its multifaceted benefits. Among its physiological benefits is the enhancement of all the major functional systems of the body. The excretory system, the endocrine system, the respiratory, musculoskeletal, nervous and cardiovascular systems are boosted and fortified. Bodily balance and coordination are promoted as well. Major fatal diseases are warded off as cathecholamine, glucose and LDL cholesterol levels are regulated. Through constant practice, the resilience of the body in general is triggered.

Through the varied stretching asanas, the weight of a person is balanced without losing its strength. A
balanced mind and body
can be attained through the techniques. Among them are effortless movements or normalized static movement. Yoga is a means for natural health and healing as well-being is attained without strenuous exercise or taking of supplements. As for the psychological benefits, they are an appealing factor of this holistic health measure. Mood related disorders such as anxiety and panic attacks and even depression can be controlled and alleviated. An added advantage is the enhancement of personal abilities such as concentration, memory and learning skills in general.

And yet there is more. Socially, a person is more able to adapt to circumstances and their interpersonal skills are improved. More pronouncing are the spiritual benefits of yoga. Peace of mind becomes achievable with self-realization and the attainment of a
higher consciousness
. One can gain command over thought and breathing which all the more makes the practice a welcome means for holistic well-being. And holistic well-being is by all means a crucial factor in making living of good quality and worthwhile.

Giving Up Smoking Is Always Worth It

Aiming to be a better and healthier person is always worth it. When it comes to this, you’ve got to strive to live healthily. Eat the right foods and exercise regularly which are the pillars of good health. Bad habits should also be done away with, like for instance, smoking. Smoking is among the deadliest habits you can ever engage in. You might even be aware yourself of the
dangers of smoking
just like most smokers are. You could be considering giving up smoking, but you don’t know where to start. But giving up smoking is a health measure that you have to do.

You’d spare yourself from a host of health problems if you do. You’d even be saving your life as the habit would actually shorten your life span. The first thing that you have to do is motivate yourself. Think that giving up smoking is something that you want to do and not only something that you need to do. Think that you don’t want to suffer from cancer, heart disease and stroke. Say to yourself that you want to live longer and enjoy life with your loved ones. And now imagine what it would be like if you would suffer from cancer.
Think of the misery you’d go through having to suffer from ill health. All the trouble it would cost you, ranging from the expenses to the inconveniences. Wouldn’t it be better if you are healthy? Where you enjoy energy and vitality as you don’t put in
toxic elements
into your body? Healthy almost always equates to being happy. You not only look good, but more importantly you feel good. And so you can enjoy life better. You could fight stressors head on and you wouldn’t be laden with the negative energy of ill-health. Think of all these worthwhile reasons why you should quit smoking.

Seeing Health And Fitness In A Better Light

Healthy living is better and happier living. With good health, a person has energy and vitality which gives him zest for living. Being optimistic often goes with being healthy, too. After all, health and fitness is all encompassing- that of the mind, body and spirit. So
choosing to be healthy
is wise and beneficial in more ways than one can imagine. How is it for a person to be optimally healthy? One may initially think that being fit and healthy entails much hard work. Primarily it does- one has to practice control and take action. In your case, when the words “becoming healthy” comes into mind, you might picture yourself working out for hours on end, forcing yourself to exercise.

Then you see an image of you starving or depriving yourself of foods that you love to eat. As a result, “becoming healthy” has become unappealing for you, and even a dreaded scenario. The problem here lies not in the means of getting fit and healthy, but rather on your attitude. If you have initially conceived in your mind that engaging in a health and fitness program is forced labor, chances are you will have difficulty in attaining your goal. So shift your perspective and be optimistic about health and fitness in general. Take it easy and look at the brighter side.
