First Date Advice

Couples First Date

Source: Bing.com

Introduction:

You have secured your first date now what? You're probably asking yourself. Questions like what should I wear? Where should we go? If you have already met your date and both agreed to go out on a date this means you're both interested so relax? If you never met your date the possibility is always there that your date may not meet your expectations or you won't meet their expectations. Never solely judge a person by their looks. If your date doesn't look cute or pretty try to make the best of the date regardless. Never dart out the back door! You wouldn't want someone to do that to you. Be a friend! Besides your date may feel like darting out the back door also. The next question is what to talk about now that you're on your date and what not to talk about?

Conversation Should Be a Two Way Street

Neither one of you should dominate the conversation, but instead take turns sharing. How much personal information you share will probably vary depending on first impressions, body language and gut instincts. Talking about family and friends is usually a good direction to take the conversation.

Keep Conversation Neutral on First Date

Work is a neutral subject. You can talk about your last promotion and what your goals and dreams to succeed. Just be careful not to let work dominate your whole conversation after all you're not there to talk about your job. Beware of dates that keep mentioning their work. You do not want to start a relationship with someone who cares more about the job than life its self. You will never fit into their schedule. You will always be put on the back burner. Talk about interests, hobbies and ideas of fun you may discover either a sense of compatibility or none at all. Either way, this is a plus to find out early on in the game.

Likes/Dislikes

This makes for good conversation you could talk about your favorite movies. You can talk about the types of foods you like or dislike. You can talk about volunteer work that you do to help others or help animals. You can talk about events you went to such as concerts. Just try to keep the conversation neutral and positive.

Politics and Religion No No on First Date

Never talk about debate able subjects like religion or politics on a first date. The conversation can take a wrong curve. You could jeopardize a great friendship or ruin your opportunity to get to know your date.

Either Way the Date Turns Out

Never go out on a date with the expectation that you're going to hit it off right away. The purpose of dating is to determine whether or not to take the relationship to the next level. If the relationship doesn't advance to the next level at least you gained a friend.

Grass Seed

Introduction:

Before Spreading your grass seed rake your lawn to remove dead grass also pull up weeds. In the "evening only" water the ground for a half hour. Stop watering wait 15 or 20 minutes to allow water to absorb into the ground. Then Spread your seeds by throwing them way up in the air this is most effective no need to use a spreader besides the natural way is always the best way. There are two reasons why you should do this project in the evening. The birds will see you throwing the seeds. Birds that have been fed by humans relate when they see a human throwing seed as food. The ground puts out heat so the dampness and the heat will cause the seeds to germinate quicker.

Fescue Grass Seed

This grass seed is the best in the worst of conditions. This grass thrives in the winter no matter how cold it gets, does great under trees. Most types of grass do not do well in shaded areas but Fescue thrives in shaded areas. Save on watering this type of grass does better in drier conditions.

Canada Green Grass Seed

The Canada grass seed is great for lawns that have bare spots or just needs thickening. Just rake out the dead grass and sprinkle seeds wherever you desire to thicken your lawn.

Oregon Grass Seed

The Oregon grass seed is best for very large properties like farming or very large lots. The Oregon goes a lot further and it's cost effective.


Zoysia Grass Seed


The Zoysia grass seed is best planted in warm climate conditions. This type of grass seed spreads quickly. The Zoysia grass seed is hard to find it is often sold in sprigs.

Rye Grass Seed

Rye grass mixes well with your existing grass. Pull up any weeds then give your grass a good raking then throw handfuls of seeds high up in the air to ensure your seeds spread evenly. (Do not throw seeds against the wind) unless you don't mind getting seeds all over you.

Ways to Please Your Partner

Introduction:

When couples that like to please each other their relationship are unbreakable. Both parties equally should be on the receiving end not just you or just your partner. Someone has to get the ball rolling! Why not you? It's easy for a relationship to go stale when it's the "same old same old" so get up and get the romance ball rolling. 

Rub Your Partners Feet 

Rubbing your partner's feet will bring back circulation which will re-leave any burning from standing and walking all day. Rubbing your partner's feet helps take the days stress away. Massaging the feet also help to promote better health. 

Give Your Partner a Nice Neck Rub 

Helps loosen tight musicals and removes knots in the musicals. You also remove that burning feeling from putting stress on your neck. A good neck rub will send tingles up the scalp this releases endorphins that help them to relax and help them sleep. 

Take on some of Your Partners Responsibilities

It is always nice to come home and find out what you have been putting off has been already done or what you do everyday is already done. Why not do this for your partner? 

Plan a Fun and Alone Night With Your Partner

Do something fun and crazy. Get a little freaky! Make your partner laugh. Have a beverage to loosen up offer your partner a beverage. Turn the music on and dance around be flirty. Light up some candles talk about what got you with your partner in the first place. Have some laughs.

Let Your Partner Decide on a Plan 

If your partner wants to go out go or if they prefer to stay home for the evening whip up something to munch on. Find a good movie. Snuggle up to each other show each other comfort. Be close to each other without sexual pressure.

Final Thoughts

If you feel your partner is avoiding "making love"with you do not use any of these ideas with any kind of sexual advances. If this is the case you might want to talk to your partner after you have tried a few times to have a fun day or evening.

There could be issues your not aware of and your partner hasn't discussed with you for fear that you will be mad or fear that they may hurt your feelings

Questions Men Don't Want to Hear

Introduction:

Question women should never ask a man especially if in a new relationship.

"Are You Attracted to Other Women?"

Of course he's attracted to other women. Ask yourself this question. Are other men attracted to me? Ask yourself this question. How many men do I think is attractive? Do you have a favorite star that you tell your friends you would sleep with if you had the chance? What if someone approached you and said if I gave you a million dollars would you sleep with me for one night? Honestly I would be pretty tempted!.

"What Are You Thinking?" (Usually Asked In Bed.)

How many times has someone asked you what are you thinking about as soon as they asked the question your mind goes blank? Just because he's not thinking about you at the moment doesn't mean he don't care you or whatever answer your hoping to hear. You more then likely will not get an honest answer because you caught the person off guard. You made them lose there train of thought so they just make something up they thank you want to hear.

"What Happen In Your Past Relationships?"

This question is really none of your business. If your partner wants you to know they will tell you on there own. Usually if you're in a relationship long enough if you share about you past relationships your man probably will share about his past relationships. In the beginning of the relationship I would avoid this question.

"Do You Enjoy Being With Your Friends More Than Being With Me?"

I have heard women make the comment to there friends. I think he rather be with his friends instead of me. This question is a sign that you're obsessed and want constant attention. These kinds of question and insecurities are signs of an unhealthy relationship. Men are not meant to be around women all the time. They need to have interactions with other men just the same as women need to socialize with other women.

"Where Do You Think Our Relationship Is Going?"

If you're asking this question the relationship isn't getting to the next level fast enough for you. In a new relationship you should never ask questions like that because that will make getting to the next level something you won't have to worry about because there will be no relationship.



Final Thoughts

Whether your male or female asking questions similar to those in this list seem cute at first but can get annoying after a while. Your partner will question your trust of them and your insecurities.

All about Demonic Dreams

Fear terror eye (Photo credit: @Doug88888)

Introduction:

Find out the truth about dreams. Find out what your dreams mean. Find out what may be causing you to have bad dreams.

Dream Dictionary

When you research a dream it is important to remember and write down details of your dreams even if it seems not important. Especially if something in your dream is out of the ordinary like for instance in your dream you're caring a red purse and you don't like the color red so that would be something to research.

Night Terrors

Night terrors are when your fearful dreams seem so real it seems that the events in your dreams are really happening. People who suffer with night terrors often sleepwalk. Find out the symptoms of night terrors.

Signs of Demonic Possession

Night Terrors (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

A demon in the first season episode "Phantom Traveler". The appearance of demons has since evolved throughout the series. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Torment can come in many forms such as dreams and taunting evil thoughts. These thoughts will taunt until you do something about them such as give in to the thoughts or voices. These overwhelming thoughts or feelings can cause a person to do things they normally wouldn't due in order to stop the torment. Warning: If you or someone else is possibly demon posse your thoughts and dreams of torment will get far worse. If you think you or someone else is posse by demons you will have to seek out spiritual help. Someone with the gift of casting out demons not just a priest or preacher if you make an attempt to remove the demon or demons they can and will come back seven fold. You might be suffering from demon attacks. Just because you believe in God or Jesus does not mean you can not get posse. Remember Satan believes in God and he fears Jesus. Satan lives in the church he attacks and deceives even the strongest believers in the church.

How Demons Act

Learn more about demons and how they act and how demons deceive people. Make no mistake demons do exist. I recommend that you do your own research. Satan and his demons will do everything to make you believe that they do not exist. If you are posses you might have thoughts like this is stupid demons don't really exists. While you're researching this subject you may feel nauseated sick to your stomach. Feel uncomfortable has feelings that you're doing something wrong.

Theophostics Better Known As Inner Healing

I recommend theophostics because it worked for me. I heard voices I became suicidal I had taunting nightmares. I believed God had it in for me hated me. I started suffering from fears I never had. I felt totally lost and nothing was going right in my life. I had feelings of hopelessness. I totally lost my faith which led me into rebelling against God which made me susceptible to demon possession. If you need help you can contact these people and they can find someone in your area to talk to you. Always remember people have their own options on every subject don't let negative option steer or scare you away.

Question and Answers Before Hip Replacement Surgery

The Right Hip Bone

 Introduction:

Find out what you can expect from hip surgery.  How long until recovery?  The different type of artificial hips and which type that has been proven to be the best for you and your circumstances.(Photo Illustrations}

Who Should Have Hip Replacement Surgery?

Good candidates for a hip replacement are people who have great health. If you're in great health you will recover quickly. 

When pain in your hips causes you to be unable to achieve everyday activities today, a person's overall health and activity level are more important than age in predicting a hip replacement's success. 

Before advanced joint deterioration occurs you should have a hip replacement people tend to recover more easily and have better outcomes.

What Are Alternatives to Hip Replacement?

Before considering a total hip replacement, your doctor may try other methods of treatment, such as exercise, walking aids, and medication. 

Exerciser strengthens the muscles around the hip joint. Walking aids such as canes and walkers will ease some of the stress from damaged hips and help you to avoid or delay surgery. For hip pain without inflammation, doctors usually recommend the analgesic medication acetminophen.

For hip pain with inflammation, treatment usually consists of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs such as aspirin and ibuprofen. When neither NSAIDs nor analgesics are enough to relieve pain, doctors sometimes recommend combining the two or stronger analgesic medication such as tramadol or a product containing both acetaminophen and a narcotic analgesic such as codeine may be to control pain.

Using capsaicin and methylsalicylate may provide additional relief. Some people find that the nutritional supplement combination of glucosamine and chondroitin helps ease pain. In a small number of cases, doctors may prescribe corticosteroid medications, such as prednisone or cortisone, if NSAIDs do not relieve pain.

Corticosteroids reduce joint inflammation and are frequently used to treat rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Because corticosteroids alter the bodies natural hormone production, which is essential for the body to function, you should not stop taking them suddenly, and you should follow the doctor's instructions for discontinuing treatment.

Sometimes, corticosteroids are injected into the hip joint. A joint lubricant such as hyaluronan may also be injected into the hip joint to relieve pain.

What Does Hip Replacement Surgery Involve?

Traditional hip replacement surgery, lasts about 1 to 2 hours, the surgeon makes a 6" to 8" incision on the side of the hip cutting through the muscles then the doctor removes the diseased bone tissue and cartilage from the hip joint, while leaving the healthy parts of the joint intact. 

Then the surgeon replaces the head of the femur and acetabulum with new, artificial parts. Today, some surgeons have begun performing what is called a minimally invasive, or mini-incision, hip replacement, which requires smaller incisions and a shorter recovery time than traditional hip replacement. 

Candidates for this type of surgery are usually age 50 or younger, of normal weight and healthier than candidates for traditional surgery. Joint resurfacing is also being used.

Regardless of whether you have traditional or minimally invasive surgery, the parts used to replace the joint are the same. They come in two varieties: cemented and uncemented.

Is a Cemented or Uncemented Prosthesis Better?

Cemented replacements are more frequently used for older, less active people and people with weak bones, such as those who have osteoporosis, while uncemented replacements are more frequently used for younger, more active people.

What Can Be Expected Immediately After Surgery?

You will be allowable limited movement immediately after hip replacement surgery. Pillows are usually used to brace the hip in the correct position. You may receive fluids through an intravenously to replace fluids lost during surgery.

Tube located near the incision to drain fluid, and a type of tube called a catheter may be used to drain urine until you are able to use the bathroom. The doctor will prescribe medicine for pain or discomfort.

Day after your hip surgery the therapists exercises your hip to improve recovery.
One or two days after surgery, you will sit on the edge of the bed, stand, and even walk with assistance.
While you are still in the hospital, a physical therapist may teach you exercises to strengthen your hip.

Problem Teenagers

Introduction:

This is my personnel opinion on dealing with teens and young adults. Now day's teens are often left to fend for themselves while parents make a living. Being a lone in the home leaves the teen to make bad choices. Choices that cause them to wined up in juvenile care.

Before the Age 15

The law should be if a teenager gets in trouble three times before age fifteen with the law that teenager cannot get a drivers license until they either prove to the court that they have earned the privilege to drive by doing community service, volunteer work, and get a letter from there parents and teachers that there behavior has changed. Otherwise the teenager should not be aloud to drive until they are eighteen.

Quitting School

The law should never allow teenagers to quit school. The law should support a teenager if they have to take care of a parent by sending a teacher to the teenager house or the teenager becomes disabled and not able to go to school.

School to Home

Teenagers who continue to be in trouble with the law and loses the privilege to drive that have an "I don't care attitude" should have to go striate home not be allowed to wonder the streets they should be put on house arrest.

Automatically Drafted

If a teenager keeps breaking the law they should be drafted into the service. Obviously the teenager is out of control at home. Either the teenager has no respect for there parents or parents didn't do a good job teaching there teenager respect. I believe a parent should be able to speak to a judge and request that there teenager goes to some sort of camp if there teenager has a discipline problem or the law will automatically draft the problem teenager if they continue to break the law.

Abuse from a Teenager

No parent should ever have to put up with abuse from a teenager. The teenager should be held until the next day to talk to a judge. If the judge finds the teenager abusive they should be sent either in a boot camp or drafted to serve four years in the service.

Homeless Survival Tips

Homelessness can be unexpected or expected you might even choose to be homeless because of going into hiding. I will share my story of being homeless and offer some tips to survive being homeless.

I might have survived being homeless but I wish I new what I know now! When I was homeless I went hungry many of nights didn't know how I was going to get my next meal. The challenges I faced was very real and I had to stay focused and think ahead before I made any decisions.

Introduction:

Most people suffer from insomnia from time to time or can't sleep once in awhile that is normal but if you have trouble sleeping for weeks at a time here is some possible reason for your sleepless nights.

Medications

Use of certain medications can cause you to have problems sleeping. Check all your medicine if any of your medicine says that one of the side effects is Insomnia get your doctor to change your medicine.

Sleeping Drug Dependency

Hypnotic-Dependent Sleep Disorder: This sleeping disorder comes usually from prolong use of sleeping pills. Usually when you become dependent on sleeping pills your body builds up a tolerance to the sleeping pill. 

Once your body gets that tolerance is as though you never took a sleeping pill so then you have to take another pretty soon you're taking a dangerous amount of sleeping pills and the end result is death.

Physical Discomfort

It could mean you need a new bed but this physical discomfort could be caused by something that is not so obvious. Bowels are a possible reason for a discomfort that you have that you can't explain. 

If you're not emptying your bowels often enough this will cause you to toss and turn at night sometimes even while you're asleep. 

You should be emptying your bowels twice a day. You can also have other underlying health issues. You should visit your doctor if you still have problems sleeping.

Worry

Lying in bed worrying what happens because of certain events in your life is not in your control. You might have a problem that can't be fixed until the next day. 

Maybe you are projecting how things are going to pan out if that's the case you need to stop projecting because nothing ever turns out to be the way you projected it to be.

Anxiety or Stress

What if you don't have stress and anxiety in your life anymore? At least not like you did before! Example of what I mean: I was a caretaker for 10 years each year became more stressful. I couldn't sleep because I was dwelling on what happened that day or what's going to happen the next day. 

I took my frustration and anger with all the rest of my problems to bed with me. She passed away a year ago. I though my stress and anxiety would just disappear it did for a few weeks. Then all of a sudden I found myself having anxiety and a sudden fear of death. 

I couldn't sleep to save my life or I slept way too much. I found myself feeling the same frustrations and anger that I did when she was alive. Even now I find myself feeling all these feelings and it's been a year but with time the problem has become more controllable. 

My point is you may not think you have stress or anxiety but you may be being triggered by a past event this can cause sleeping problems.

Stupid Mistakes Boat Owners Make

Introduction

Watch a funny video of boating and fishing blooper’s. If your a boater or a fishermen you could probably relate that is why this article is so great. Don't forget to watch the video fishing and boating blooper’s.

You might find this hilarious but boating mishaps are not so funny when it happens to you. Being a boat owner has its challenges as your about to see as you read on. I have seen so called expert boaters make these dumb mistakes.

Cleaning the Boat (Don't Go Away That's Not the Dumb Part)

Yea were going out on the boat everyone is excited. Oh the boat is a little dusty and I wouldn't want the girls to see that so I'll hose the boat down real quick. Oh the boat is holding water I forgot to pull the plug out. No problem now I got to rinse my foot prints out and finish rinsing the rest of the boat. The phone rings the girls are on there way! Quick hurry up and find my sexy swimming trunks. OK girls we are on are way to put the boat in the water. OK someone direct me into the water. At this time no one notices the boat is filling up with water. The boat owner realizes the boat is slipping on the boat ramp. He tries frantically to stop the boat from going further into the water. Finally the boat stops the owner gets out of his vehicle to realize his boat is underwater worse yet his back seat in his vehicles is underwater.

Taking a Swim

Yea let's all get naked and take a dip! Now everybody is out of the boat it's a nice com day why anchor the boat? Everyone is having a blast then someone had enough so they want to get back on the boat. No ladder no problem this is a bass boat it looks easy enough to get in right? Wrong! Just because a boat appear to be low enough in the water does not mean it will be easy to get back on board the boat. Never rely on a anchor ever even if it seem secure. Never jump off the boat without having a ladder mounted to the boat. Always no matter how safe things appear always keep at least one person aboard the boat. Things can and will go wrong right when your most vulnerable.

Make Sure Your Equipment Is Secured Properly on Your Boat

I know you men you think you got the best boat on the water. You maybe surprised of the things that can go wrong when you don't check your boat equipment. Also while your at it why not make sure your fishing pole is up to par. This video will make your boat and your fishing trip a success.

How to Make the Best Out of Your Fishing Trip

Here is a few quick tips to keep in mind while you're fishing. Never fish under trees. Pay very close attention to what you are doing. Do not lose your temper. Best tip of all respect the outdoors.

Safety First

Remember to clip yourself so that the boat automatically shuts off if you happen to fall out of the boat. Ware your safe jacket. Ware your sunglasses to keep the sun out of your eyes and the bugs from flying in your eyes and hopefully will see each other on the next boat trip.
