joke of the day

An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night.

The man replies, "I am on my way to attend a lecture about gambling, hookers, alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking, and staying out late."

The officer then asks, "Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?"

The man replies, "My wife."

The Magic Love Number: 14

Forget love at first sight... you don't really get love until the 14th sight.   A new survey found we wait around 14 dates before dropping the "L" word to each other.  When you figure 2-dates per week, then the first "I love you" should come within 7-weeks.  

• First kiss:  Two dates (or one week in)
• Sex for the first time: Four dates (two weeks)
• Introduced to their friends: Six dates (3-weeks)
• Introduced to their parents: 12 dates (6-weeks)
• Move in with each other: 60 dates (30 weeks)

Is there anything more unattractive than a needy dude?  Here are the warning signs from the stir

2. The relationship is based on his terms
3. He constantly needs to know you love him
4. He demands you block all your exes from Facebook
5. He wants to go through your phone and read your text messages
6. He wants your email account information
7. He's slowly isolating you from your friends
8. You realize HE has no friends.  Instead he spends every waking moment in contact with you
9. He tags along on girl's night
10. He never stops talking about the future with you

 

phones/Facebook:  Okay, there's a difference between needy and smothering - and most of those sound like smothering.  Where is that line for you?

30 Things You Should Know by 30

MSN asked their Facebook followers to help them with a list of the 30 things every woman should know by the time she hits 30...and guess what?  30 is NOT the new 20.  30 is when life really kicks in...

1.  That when he doesn't call back, it's not because he didn't get the message

2. That there's a difference between love and lust.

3. That sometimes sleeping in (and sleeping alone) is the ultimate luxury.

5. How to get ready to go out in less than 20 minutes.

6. That the dishes can wait. (But not forever.)

7. That time really does move faster as you get older.

8. How to prepare at least one dish that doesn't require a microwave

9. How to dine out alone—and truly enjoy it.

10. How to change your oil. (Or just the fact that your oil needs changing.)

11. How to live without a credit card.

12. How to ask for a raise

13. How to respond if you don't get one

14. How to make the most of your vacation days.

15. How to sign up for a cell-phone plan/pick a data package/buy a car without getting fleeced.

16. What a retirement plan is, and how to make sure you're setting aside enough.

17. Your drink of choice

18. Your alcohol limit

19. That sometimes nothing feels as good as being carded.

20. How to tell a couple good, non-dirty jokes. (You never know when you'll need an icebreaker.)

21. That a good friend will forgive you if you forget her birthday

22. How to put someone else first.

23. How to agree to disagree—and really mean it.

24. That your family baggage is too heavy to keep carrying around.

25. That staying out of the sun really is the best anti-aging advice

26. That certain fashion trends aren't worth trying… ever. (Harem pants, we're looking at you.)

27. That you're either a person who can wear bangs, or you're not.

28. That making timelines for your life is generally a waste of time

29. That changing your mind doesn't mean you're inconsistent: It just means you're smart enough to know that our views and opinions evolve.

30. That someone will always be prettier or younger or smarter or more successful. But no one else will ever be quite the same combination of those things that you are.

That's it today, guys.  The blog looks a little naked today, I know, but I had to drive across the state yesterday for a funeral.  Didn't have much time to get everything together.  Have a great day!
