A woman, on meeting a psychologist at a party, made a pitch for some free professional advice. "What kind of toy would you suggest giving a little boy on his third birthday?" she asked.

"First I'd have to know more about the child," the psychologist hedged.

The woman took a deep breath. "He's very bright and quick-witted and exceptionally advanced for his age," she said. "He has good coordination, expresses himself very well..."

"Oh, I see," the psychologist said, "It's YOUR child!"




Why Valentines Day is Scary for Men



Dr. Gina Berreca in Psychology Today feels Valentines Day, the day for l-o-v-e, is as scary as Halloween. Especially for men... if you ask your man if he agrees with this, he'll tell you 'no'. Don't believe him:

For men, Valentine’s Day is filled horror. Is that really a surprise? They can’t win. For men, all they know is that they’re going to spend time searching for a way to spend money on who knows what for some woman who will, when she receives it, force that little tight smile, like a cat taking a poop, to indicate her insincere gratitude. He will fail. He has always failed. He’s like the guy Jack Nicolson played in “The Shining” who has always been at that hotel. This guy has always been in the endless aisle of greeting cards or in the lingerie area of a department store. He’s there until security removes him and he’s muttering “I think she likes mauve. But I don’t know what mauve is.”

The gift you can't wrap

Why do we stress out over gifts for Valentines Day when research shows men and women both prefer a "shared experience" rather than chocolate or roses? Here are 10 suggestions:

** Sing your heart out! Head to karaoke night and belt out some really cheesy ballads

** Feel the rush. Skydive! A shared harrowing experience, like something that gives you an adrenaline rush, creates mutual attraction.

** Roleplay. Pretend to be someone else and meet up in a hotel bar.

** Chill out. Bundle up and hit the slopes, start a snowball fight, or hold hands at a skating rink

** Spice up your life. Take a cooking class together. Chopping, dicing, kneading and baking will spice things up big time.

** Saddle up! Stay at a dude ranch and get your cowboy fantasy on. Ride on the open range and dine on delicious meals.

** Step out (with your baby). Sign up for some dance lessons and learn the samba or the heat of mambo.

** Spread the love. Do good for others by helping out at the local senior center or digging in at the community garden. Volunteering brings you closer together.

** Let yourself go. Get a couples massage, take a yoga class, or soak in a hot tub.

** Jump. Anything that gets you sweaty gives you an adrenaline rush...so head to a trampoline park.

Men are officially more romantic than women




A new survey found that almost all men, whether they like it or not, will celebrate Valentines Day. Not so much for women, though. 14.5% of men said they'll do nothing to celebrate Valentines Day tomorrow. For women it was 21.5%. The survey also showed that men were more likely to buy flowers, chocolates, arrange for dinner at a restaurant, or buy a nice gift.

The results of this survey are truly shocking... if you've been living on another planet away from human life the past 2,000 years.

Greatest story so far this year.





Jackson, Michigan. Linda Ackley went to Allegiance Hospital Friday morning thinking she had a hernia. By Friday night, she had given birth to a 10-pound baby.

Not just a baby, a 10 POUNDER!

It's an amazing story when you hear about the couple. Linda and Mike are high school sweethearts that have been married 24 years and thought they were unable to have kids. Not only that, Linda contracted a bacterial infection that put her in a week-long coma 2-years ago. Doctors thought she wouldn't pull through.

Their apartment, as you would suspect, is not ready for a newborn, so family and local businesses sprang in to action donating car seats and clothing.

Best quote comes from hubby Mike: “Some people have nine months to prepare. I had (15) hours."
