What Women Want

After much Joking with Female and Male Friends on Face book,I have Decided to write this Blog.While Researching this Topic,I found that Women Want Hundreds of Things.So I Narrowed Down our Wants to the very Basics.Let’s Take a Look.Shall We?

1.Cute Shoes and Yummy Chocolates.  Ideas for Romantic Gifts.

2.Pampering.  Princess on a Pedestal Theory.

3.Self-Confidence.  Sexy and Favored by Both Sexes.

4.Chemistry (Attraction).  Makes you do things you wouldn’t tell your Mother. Stimulated by Smells(Scents)and Sounds. “Love Potion #9”,Candles,Music,Accents,etc…

5.Passion and Pleasure.  Enough Fireworks and Sweat that the Neighbors are Sick with Jealousy. Tingles and Toe-Curling.

6.Love (To be Loved or Feel Loved).  Roller Coaster Ride. To be “Swept off your Feet”,To be “Weak in the Knees”.”Falling in Love” is one of Life’s Greatest Pleasures. A person “In Love” may truly see their “Object of Desire”(My Fav.Song) more Beautiful than Everyone else in the World. “Love is Blind”.

7.Romance.  Love Letters,Flowers,Gifts,Moonlight Strolls,Pet Names,Piggyback Rides to Bed,Hand Holding,Hugs and Kisses,Teasing,Cuddling,Pillow Talk,Bubble Baths for 2,Sitting in His Lap,Saying “I Love You”,etc…

8.Adoration (To be Adored).  To Adore Someone means you Overwhelming Positively Respond to that Person. It means you Beam when they Enter the Room.You Smile Involuntarily when you are with them or when you Think of them.

9.Honesty.  Never Lie,Mislead,or Sugar Coat the Truth.Just Tell It Like It Is,Even if it Hurts.

10.Humor.  Enlivens a Relationship better than any other Single Characteristic.Making a Fool of yourself shows you’re Human and makes you Highly Favored.”Sometimes you Feel like a Nut,Sometimes you Don’t”.

11.Communication.  Key to a Healthy and Long Lasting Relationship.Overcomes Obstacles.No Need for Games or Manipulation.Sharing Personal Problems,Concerns,and Feelings is “Relationship Building”.It may sound like Complaining or a Cry for Rescue,but it is Neither.Body Language and Tone of Voice “Speak Volumes”.Tip:Small Pupils alert the other Person you aren’t Really Listening.

12.Safety and Security.  A Hero who is Loyal,Faithful,and a Protector of the Heart.No User and Abuser.

13.Companionship(Sharing Time Together).  Who wants to be Lonely when they are in a Relationship?You can be Lonely when you’re Single.Be “Sought After”  for your Company.If your Company is not Often Desired,find someone else who will give you the Attention you Deserve and Crave.”Plenty of Fish in the Sea”.

14.Partnership.  Someone who will Shoulder Half the Responsibility of whatever Chore or Challenge you are up against.Someone who will “Chip In” and do their Share.

15.Commitment.  Promise of a Future through the “Good Times” and the “Bad Times”.  When the going gets Tough and Rough- For the “Long Haul”.

Although,Women know what they want(The Fairytale)they Feel Men with these Qualities don’t Exist or are All Taken.Women want a Man who is “Crazy about Them”. If you Think you won’t Find 1,Think Again!! Your Prince is out there!!

Fifty Goofy Godfather Facts

Add New Post ‹ Bubbleighblues’s Blog — WordPress

I’ve come to Realize that Most Men Love Gangster Movies,with Godfather Movies being in First Place.Since, I don’t Watch Rated R Movies,I can’t say, I have a Clue about the “HYPE.” I do have some Ideas-Violence,Sex and Profanity.Instead of the Gruesome Grit and Gore I thought we would look at the Funny Fiction and Facts.So put your “Coppola” on and let’s head in that Direction.

1.Almost every scene where someone Dies,in The Godfather Movies, there are Oranges or Orange in the Scene.An Orange Suit,some Orange Juice,an Ad for Orange Juice,or just Plain Ordinary Oranges.

Beat the Boredom in a Fun and Frugal Way

The Kids are finally out for the Summer and Already Complaining.I wonder do you hear this at your home during Summer Vacation or is it just mine that is echoing this year after year? “Mommy I’m Bored…There’s Nothing Fun To Do”. When my Boys were smaller and started this Complaining they Mistakenly left out the word FUN. As I’m sure some of you have done,I gave them something to do! They have long since learned to always add the word FUN in their Complaining.I have been Blessed to be the Home to visit during Summer Break.All my Boy’s Friends and Family want to come here. So I never have to Worry about my Boys being away from Home.I do,on the other hand,have to Worry about having A LOT of kids to entertain on a LITTLE amount of money.This year I have Decided to Beat the Boredom in a Fun and Frugal Way. I have put together a List of Activities my Kids can do all Summer long, only costing me a LITTLE or NO money at all.

1. Swimming.This is our Idea of Summer Fun.We are Blessed enough to live in an Apartment Complex that has a Pool. Sadly, Our Pool was closed until just recently for Repairs.So we have had to rely on other Options to Swim Inexpensively.We have went to Family Holiday Pool Parties, The Recreation Public Pool(which did cost a small Amount), A Water Slide Birthday Party(which all you are out for a Family Fun day is the Price of a Gift)and The Free Splash Pad in our City.

2. Play Ground or Park.Both of these are Fun and Free.If you have Older Kids then make sure you plan Activities to Entertain them also.Examples: Horse Basketball,Relay Races,Tug of War,Dodge Ball,Obstacle Course,Kick the Kan,and many other Age appropriate Games.

3. Scavenger Hunts and Nature Hunts are Fun for all Ages.

4.Sidewalk Show. Give each Kid some Chalk and a Spot of their own(on the Drive-way or Sidewalk) to Create their Drawing.Then have a SIDEWALK SHOW for anyone who comes over to Visit.

5. Marble Mania. Use chalk to draw a large Circle on the Sidewalk or Driveway and Start a Marbles Game that will last all day.

6. Kite Flying. Is always Fun for the Whole Family.You can purchase Kites at your Local Dollar Tree Store.

7. Dino Dig. This is a Great Game for all ages. Simply bury a Toy Dinosaur somewhere on your Property(shallow enough to be dug up by hand)and pass out Clues to the Dig Site.If you make the Clues Hard enough the kids may Play for Hours.

8.Clothes Line Art.Use your Clothes Line if you have one or make a Temporary one if not. Have your Kids Draw a Picture on Sketch Paper with Colored Pencils and hang it on Display for the Neighbors.

9.Toilet Tag. If you get tagged you become a Toilet.Squat with your hand extended like a Flusher.You have to be FLUSHED to be set free. Believe it or not this will even have your Teenagers playing Tag again.

10. Bubble Bananza. Fill a small kiddie pool with Dish Liquid Soap and Water.Then give each Kid a Big Wand to Blow Bubbles.

I can always use more Activities for Summer Fun(just as I’m sure you can)if you have any to Share.Let’s All Have a Fun-Filled Summer.

The Joke’s On You !!

I always want to start my Reader’s Week off with Giggles.So here’s to your week.I Hope you find Laughter in all the Lunacy!

Since God is Watching Us the least we can do is be Entertaining!

Going to Church doesn’t make you a Christian anymore than standing in a Garage makes you a Car.

Was it the Bible that said Knowledge is Power,and Power Corrupts. So study hard and be Evil?

A Diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to Hell in such a way that you will be looking forward to the Trip.

I should have known it wasn’t going to work out with my Ex-Husband and Me.I’m a Virgo and He’s Satan.

Jesus Loves You,but everyone else can’t Stand you.

Children seldom Misquote You.In Fact,In Sunday School they usually Repeat Word for Word what you Shouldn’t have said.

DejaVu- When you think you’re doing something you’ve Done Before.It’s because God thought it was so Funny,he had to Rewind it for his Friends.

Why didn’t Noah Swat those two Mosquitoes?

How do you get Holy Water? You Boil the Hell out of it.

While having never Invented a Sin,I Seem to be trying to Perfect several of them.

A Proverb is a Short Sentence based on Long Experience.

People read their Bibles more the Older they Get.They are Cramming for their Final.

667- The Neighbor of the Beast.

Lord, Give me Patience and Please give it to me Now!!

Only Dead fish go with the Flow(Don’t Conform,Be Transformed).

Atheist National Holiday-April Fools Day.

Funny how a Dollar can look so Big when you take it to Church,and so Small when you take it to the Store.

God said,”Money is the Root of All Evil”.For more Information send $10 to me.

I don’t Believe in Miracles.I Rely on Them.

If God had Intended Man to Smoke,He would have Set Him on Fire before Hell.

Have A Safe,Satisfying,and Silly Week. Please feel free to leave me any Jokes that make you and Hopefully Others Laugh!!

Do you want to hear a Joke?… Barack Obama

Although I make jokes about Barack Obama I am just trying to Laugh rather than Cry.Everything I stand for or believe in, Obama is Against and is Destroying.If your not a Christian or Conservative Republican you may disagree.I know so many of my friends and family elected him with the Hope of a Better Future and I Seriously hope their Expectations are met.On the behalf of my concerns Obama began to Prove them Valid after only three days in office and still going Strong!Before I get started I want to Relate a Phrase I ran across many times while Researching different Obama Issues.This phrase was used by Democrats as well as Republicans.As a woman who is not very Political(I just know what I believe)I am Stumped by this Comment.The phrase I kept running across was “Obama is one of the most Dangerous Presidents ever to hold Office in this Country”.If you can Explain this Statement for me I would Really Appreciate your Help. I came up with about 20 Issues with Obama that made me Embarassed to call him my President. So here we go…

1.Nothing is more Important than Enforcing the Constitution of the United States of America.So my Biggest Problem with Obama to start with is Why is he above Answering to his people?Many people are still waiting for a Real Hard Copy of Obama’s Birth Certificate to Prove to us he is even Eligible to be our President.

2.Obama had a Rabid, Racist Spiritual Advisor on his Campaign.

3.Obama gave the British Prime Minister 25 DVD’s that don’t work in Europe.

4.Obama made a Joke about the Special Olympics on the Tonight Show.

5.Obama bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.

6.Obama put forth at least three Candidates for Ambassador to the Vatican that were Pro-Choice.The Holy See rejected them all.

7.During a Speech at Georgetown, Obama asked the University to cover up All Signs and Symbols for Jesus.

8.Obama did not Adopt his Dog from a Shelter.Even though Michelle Obama had announced on Entertainment Tonight that the Family would “Adopt a Rescue Dog”.

9.On Earth Day,Obama took 2 Flights on Air Force One and 4 on Marine One burning more than 9,000 gallons of Fuel.

10.Obama gave the Queen of England an Ipod full of his own Speeches,and Michelle broke Protocol and Put her Arm around the Queen.

11.Obama enrolled his Daughters in a D.C. Private School but decided not to admit any New Students to the D.C. Voucher Program.The Program allows Low-Income Children to attend Private Schools.

12.Obama said he loved his two little girls and would teach them Right from Wrong,but “If one of them makes a Mistake… Why should she be Punished with a Child?” A child is a Gift from God never a Punishment!!

13.When in school in Indonesia Obama’s Religion was listed as Islam.He was a Muslim in his Youth and still may be a Closet Muslim.

14.Obama used the Sermon on the Mount to Defend Gay Rights.

15.Obama congratulated Homosexual Activists for “Getting Married”at a San Francisco Democratic Gay Event.

16.Obama sent a Memo to Law Enforcement Departments Nationwide saying Homeland Security had identified the Greatest Terrorist Threat to National Security.It was Conservative ,White Veterans.

17.Obama is Rumored to have Chicago Mob Connections.Maybe this is the Reason for the Dangerous Comment.

18.When off Script or without his Teleprompter the Unifying Obama who has impressed so many people Vanishes and is Replaced by a Babbling,Angry Liberal.

19.Obama wasted no time in Reversing Policies on Abortion and Stem-Cell Research.Now whether it goes against all I Believe in or not my Tax Dollars will fund these Issues.

20.Obama is known for his Threats and Insults To and About Republicans.He warned Republicans on Capitol Hill that they needed to quit listening to Radio King Rush Limbaugh if they wanted to get along with Democrats and the New Administration.Obama to Rep.Peter Defazio after he Voted against the Stimulus Bill-“Don’t Think We’re Not keeping Score,Brother”.While Michelle has Established a Reputation for Controversial Statements.For Example,using “Whitey”to Describe White People.Saying,”For the First Time in my Adult Lifetime,I’m Proud of my Country”.Being Overheard saying,”I want to Rip his(Bill Clinton)eyes out.Kidding”.

I Encourage any Comments you may have For or Against Obama. I will Continue to Pray for him and his Administration!!

Top 10 Myths or Misconceptions of My ChildHood

I grew up during the “Because I Said So” Era. No matter what I was told to do I was Expected to do it with no Questioning.When I became a Parent I Vowed to never say “Because I Said So” and to always have an Explanation for my Instructions.I came to the conclusion when I had my first child that if i wanted him to show me Respect(which I’m Big On)then I in turn had to do the same for him.So as my Boys can attest to, I have NEVER said “Because I Said So” in all 15 yrs of  Parenting.If I have to tell them” No” I will give them the Why to go with my Decision.Furthermore, If I Instruct them to do something I will tell them Why and they are Allowed a short Period of Questioning at which time if nothing has changed they are expected to start the Task Immediately.I am not a Perfect Parent and Have Never Met One ( that I know of yet) but working as a Team with my Boys has made Parenting a bit easier. I would like to take this time to tell you my All Time Favorite Myths or Misconceptions I was raised to believe were Fact.I Truly Believe that this in most cases wasn’t done on Purpose but rather from a lack of Knowledge .Well shall we Begin with the Most Recent Myth my Boys and I uncovered the Facts On…

1. The Daddy Long Legs Spider is Harmless to Humans because it’s Fangs can’t Penetrate Human Skin.This is False.They can Pierce Human Skin,However,The Toxicity of their Venom has just a weak Effect. My boys and I are Spiderman Fans but not Spider Fans.I was always taught that these Spiders were Harmless and killed other Spiders till not long ago when my Boys and I had to cross that Information Gap.Which is what got me to thinking about all the other Myths we have Researched over the years.

2.Children are read to until the age they are able to read for themselves at which time they already have preconceived Notions in their heads.So it took me a long time to Realize that the fruit Adam and Eve ate was not really an Apple.When I began to teach my Boys from the Bible I made sure to clear up this Myth.I even went so far as to tell them there were many Theories on what kinda fruit it was and the only Opinion I had was I was sure it wasn’t a Fig.Because after eating the fruit and their eyes were opened to their Sin they covered themselves with Fig Leaves and as someone whose gotten in Trouble before myself I’m guessing they didn’t go back for leaves off that Tree once they were feeling Shame.

3. The 3 Wise Men came on Camels from far away to visit Jesus on the Day of his Birth.This is Inaccurate on many Levels.First we don’t know it was three.We just Assume it was because Three Gifts were Described.We don’t know if they walked or rode Camels.But the most Misleading part of Jesus’ B-day(Christmas)is We always see the Shepherds and Wise Men there visiting Baby Jesus in the Manger.The Wise Men did not arrive till Jesus was around 2yrs old and living in a Home. Oh well we still include the Wise Men in our Manger Scene.The Christmas Story just wouldn’t be the same without them.

Now let’s cover some of my All Time Favorites that Puzzled me during my Childhood. As a Parent, I wanted to have the Right Answers when Instructing my own Children.

4. “Eye Strain” or Vision Deterioration is caused from Reading in Dim Light or Sitting close to the T.V. or playing Video Games for long periods of time.My oldest has had trouble with his vision from an early age and wears glasses.My middle child was born with an unformed Eye Duct which finally formed just days before he was scheduled for Surgery.So I really began to Research this Area when they both became Video Game Addicts.Also they are big readers and T.V. Watchers.I consulted their Eye Doctor before I made the Fictional Statement  I heard growing up-“Don’t sit so Close to that T.V. you will ruin your Eyesight”.I was Informed that no matter how close they sit to the T.V. or how many Books they Read or Video Games they played it would not deteriorate their Vision. Whew!!

5. Snapping,Cracking,or Popping(however you refer to it)Ones Knuckles Causes Arthritis.I have Always Done this and have been waiting on my Arthritis to set in for years.This is one they actually had me believing.I even went so far when my Oldest child(who has a habit of it also)started doing this as to tell him I thought it caused Arthritis.So our next visit to the Doctor we asked and was told that was not True. Another Whew!!

6. Sugar causes Hyper Activity in Children. This one was an easy one for me not to fall for as a mother of two ADHD boys. I didn’t need Doctors or books or the Internet to prove this Myth False. I did talk to the Doctor and Research it but only so I could convince people my boys were not Hyper because of their Sugar Intake.Most Reports say this is All in the Parent’s Heads(I hear them say all the time that their children are wired up on Sugar)and I agree.I watch my children and can never tell a difference when they drink Soda or eat Candy.On the other hand they can eat or drink something with Red Dye in it and it’s like they are on a Suicide Mission.

7. A Disproportionate Amount of Heat is Lost Through the Head. You remember growing up and being told,”It’s cold out there don’t forget your Toboggan or you’ll get sick”. I still make my 4yr old get his every time, but in my Defense, it’s because of Ear Infections.

8. Prolonged Exposure to Cold Weather,Rain,Snow,or other Winter Conditions Increases the Likelihood of Catching a Cold. I know this Myth has been disproved but as a Mother of Boys with Allergies and Asthma I’m Hanging on to this One .We collect these Christian Stand-Up Comedy Dvds(Bananas) and one of the Comedians,Bob Stromberg, addresses this subject.He does a skit about how no matter what he was doing (when he was growing up) his Mother was convinced it would cause Pneumonia.

9. Humans can catch Warts from  Toads.This has never caused a problem because as much as little girls want to marry a Prince I wasn’t Kissing or even Touching a Toad.Even though I now know the Bumps on a Toad aren’t Warts it still ain’t Happening. I am Tempted to tell this one to the Boys so they will never ask for a Pet Toad.

10. Eating Carrots(Vitamin A)Improves the Eyesight of a Person already in Possession of Healthy Vision and Improves Night Vision.We have a Pet Bunny named Puff the Magic Rabbit and we feed him Carrots for his Treat.So my youngest decided to try one to see what’s the Hype.He immediately spit it out and said he was NEVER eating one of those again.I guess the Myth that Spinach will give you(Popeye)Strength will not work on my Boys either. LOL

Write me with any Myths or Misconceptions you know!! I always want to Learn and Grow as a Parent.
