Wow, This On-Line Dating Really Works…
Copyright 2006 George Siegal
Everybody is doing it, so I figured why not give this on-line dating a try. It seemed better than shopping at Costco and Sams Club, bulk dating.
After a bad marriage it was a great way to meet people. Sure there were some scary characters, people loaded up with problems or those that showed up looking nothing like their photo. I dated a few women who must have been in the witness protection program and were using their on-line picture as a disguise to throw people off.
On one date I showed up and the woman was a good 50 pounds heavier than her profile. This isn't fat bashing, but if you check petite on your profile description that's a bit misleading.
Another had an on-line shot of herself with long flowing hair. She showed up on the date with hair in a bun so tight it had to hurt. Not that there's anything wrong with tight buns, but it wouldn't be a hairdo I would pick.
One lady checked on her profile ?non-smoker?. There should be a category for on-line dating forms that has two options: non-smoker when sober, heavy smoker after a drink or two.
But it wasn't a total waste of time, because I ended up meeting the woman I'm going to spend the rest of my life with. When I came across her photo and profile there was something about it that said to me ?I need to contact this woman?. The first few times I tried contacting her she ignored me, maybe it was the photo of me in my prison fatigues, or the fact I had kids from a previous marriage, or that we lived in different cities. Nobody ever called me a quitter so I kept at it, and one day I slipped through the firewall and we ended up talking on-line, and the rest as someone once said is history.
There are a couple of lessons to be learned here. One, on-line dating is a great way to meet people. Two, well maybe there's just one lesson to be learned. At any rate, I ended up meeting someone I would probably never have run in to at the supermarket or a bar, and I'm very happy. In fact we are expecting a child in December.
On-line dating had its ups and downs, but in the end worked out great...

5 Ways To Turn A Nightmare Relationship Into A Dream Come True
Copyright 2006 Gil Bryan
Is your relationship the type of relationship that you dreamed it would be?
You know, the way you dreamed it would be back when you were 5, 10, 13, before all the heartaches, frustrations and disappointments?
Or is your relationship journey turning into a stream of nightmare reruns?
It's strange how life has a way of turning our dreams into nightmares; that is if we let it.
But I'm here to tell you that you don't have to let go of your dream.
Here are 5 Ways To Turn A Nightmare Relationship Into A Dream Come True:
1. Make a Decision
Don't wallow in self-pity. Don't play the 'woe is me' game. God 'ain't' having it! No matter how bleak your romantic life is or how alone you may feel in your current situation, you have to remember that you are just one decision away from changing your life, your future, your destiny.
So do it today, do it now!
Think about this... you have lived your life for some 25, 35, 45 years or more. You have been through a lot of things and yet still you rise! Which means that what you're going through now is just another notch on your belt to your road to success.
2. Get up
So you've fallen. And maybe you've fallen for the wrong person; over and over again. So what! This is your life! You have to enjoy the process of learning from your good choices and your bad choices.
But just remember in the words of Les Brown, "If you fall, land on your back. Because if you can look up you can get up!"
3. Become the little kid again
Play! Play! Play! Don't ever stop playing. Life is too short to stop playing. Laugh like a child. Play like a child! And by all means BELIEVE like a child? 'for such is the kingdom of God'.
There will be those that will come to try and wipe the smile off your face. Don't spend your energy on these types of people. They are unhappy with themselves and want other people to be unhappy, too. Just recognize people like that and when you come in contact with them do step 4.
4. Run
Run as far away as you can from the dream stealers. This could be your so-called 'best friend', your family members, or even your spouse. I don't care who they are. If you know in your heart, and they have omitted it with their mouth, that they don't want to see you happy, you better run.
Or, would you rather face the other alternative. That is, stay and let them enslave you to their life of misery. And little by little allow them to snuff the flower of your life away? I didn't think so. So run!
5. Be Thankful
You presented your heart to the one(s) that swore they loved you. They took it, they crushed it and left you in despair. But remember, from the crushing of the world's most beautiful roses are derived the aromas of many of the world's most expensive perfumes.
So just thank them. For without their help you may have never arrived to the place of wisdom and knowledge that you are at now.

Are You Considering A Vasectomy?
There's no doubting that a vasectomy is one of the most effective methods of birth control available. However, because its effects can be permanent, you and your partner really need to consider whether you are ready to take this step and ask yourselves if you are sure that children aren't going to be a part of your relationship at any point. It's true that vasectomy reversals can and are performed regularly these days; but they are expensive and there's no guarantee that the patient will ever regain his fertility.
Despite the success rate of the vasectomy, it is not impossible that you could still end up fathering a child. Firstly, your surgeon should make you aware of the fact that you are still able to father children after undergoing your vasectomy for a few months. Throughout this period, your doctor will continue to examine you to see if you still continue to have viable sperm. You will have to continue to use an alternative form of birth control during this time.
The other scenario is if the vasa deferentia actually grows back and makes it possible for your sperm to reach your penis once again. This is known to happen, though it is very rare. The likelihood of it occurring is believed to be something around 1 in a 1000.
Whilst a vasectomy is an effective method of birth control, it's important that you realize that it can't and won't protect you from any sexually transmitted diseases. If you want some protection from sexually transmitted diseases then you will still have to use a condom. However, if you and your partner enjoy a monogamous relationship, then you and your partner can begin to enjoy unprotected sex without having to worry about pregnancy.
A vasectomy isn't for everyone and is certainly a big step. But as long as you and your partner are sure that children aren't to play a part in your future together or if pregnancy is dangerous for your partner because of a medical condition then a vasectomy could be the perfect solution for you and your partner.
