Saying Farewell To Steve Jobs: Plus Quote From The Late Apple CEO

Dawg — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 20:14:00 +0000

We all, I believe, want to make a positive difference during our limited time on this earth. Okay, there are those who would destroy it, and generally take in a heart-beat but I’m not counting those. Some of us make hardly a noticeable difference except perhaps to those closer to us. Others make a huge difference. Steve Jobs (his last name is same as something he created for many) belongs in the latter group. He made a huge difference.

Just watching the man talk was inspiring by itself. From students to business people we all liked to “see” him give one of his talks. His energy was not that of the un-well person we all knew he was. He gave it all he had. He lived life to the fullest, and it had nothing to do with money which he had plenty of. There is still a lot we can learn from Steve. Here’s a quote from him:

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

- Steve Jobs

Mr. Jobs, you can never be replaced or duplicated. You set the bar high, where extremely few of us can reach. But that’s what great leaders do: they make others work to try to reach even greater heights. You are not among us, but your message and spirit are and will always be. Farewell, Steve.

Funny Things Kids Say About Dating, Love, And Marriage

Dawg — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 01:58:35 +0000

Okay, you know it already but I will say it anyway; kids say the darndest things. Below are some funny things kids say about dating, love, and relationships. Kids can and do speak up their minds so don't blame me if you don't like any of the stuff.

On What People Do On A First Date

"On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." (Mike, 9)

On Whether To Stay Single or Get Married

"It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them." (Anita, age 9)

"It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I'm just a kid. I don't need that kind of trouble." (Kenny, 7)

On Kissing

You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough bucks to buy her a big ring and her own VCR, cause she'll want to have videos of the wedding." (Jim, 10)

"It's never okay to kiss a boy. They always slobber all over you...That's why I stopped doing it." (Jean, 10)

"Never kiss in front of other people. It's a big embarrassing thing if anybody sees you. But if nobody sees you, I might be willing to try it with a handsome boy, but just for a few hours." (Kally, 9)

"I know one reason that kissing was created. It makes you feel warm all over, and they didn't always have electric heat or fireplaces or even stoves in their houses." (Gina, age 8 )

On Deciding Whom To Marry

"You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming." (Alan, age 10)

"No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with." (Kirsten, age 10)

On Making Love Of Marriage Last

"Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the garbage." (Randy, 8 )

"Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck." (Ricky, age 10)

"Don't forget your wife's name...That will mess up the love." (Roger, 8 )

"Spend most of your time loving instead of going to work." (Tom, 7)

"One of you should know how to write a check. Because, even if you have tons of love, there is still going to be a lot of bills." (Ava, 8 )

On The Proper Age To Get Married

"Eighty-four! Because at that age, you don't have to work anymore, and you can spend all your time loving each other in your bedroom." (Judy, 8 )

"Once I'm done with kindergarten, I'm going to find me a wife!" (Tom, 5)

On What Falling In Love Is Like

"Like an avalanche where you have to run for your life." (John, age 9)

"If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don't want to do it. It takes too long." (Glenn, age 7)

Troy Davis Put To Death On World Peace Day

Dawg — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 15:25:45 +0000

Whether you believe he was guilty or not is not the issue any more. Troy Davis is gone. He was declared dead at 11:08 p.m. ET on World Peace Day. The real issue now is, is it even remotely possible that an innocent person was killed by a judicial system that is far from perfect? Witness testimony, which it appears the conviction was mainly based upon, has been proven to be unreliable on one too many occasions. Remember, or have you heard, the story of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter?

You may ask, what does this have to do with dating or relationships (which is what this blog is about)? Well, Troy had people who loved him and so did the police officer whom he was accused of killing.

Just recently, Casey Anthony whom many believed was guilty of killing her own flesh and blood, little daughter Caylee, walked out not just free, but with celebrity status. That's the system for you.

Troy (I prefer to refer to him by first his name) maintained his innocence to the last second. He even asked the family of the murdered police officer to keep digging. And while I understand the family's pain and desire for closure, it is not really closure if an innocent person gets killed. What if it happens that one day the real killer is caught? Would that family be able to live with that?

What about the prosecution? Well, here are the words of a former prosecutor?

When I was a federal prosecutor, I had some sleepless nights. On a few occasions, it was after I had lost at trial; I would lie in bed and think of what I did wrong.

Other times, though, my sleepless hours came after I had won a trial or gotten what I wanted at sentencing. The haunting question was always the same: What if I was wrong? See original story

Couldn't have been said better. This may be the beginning of some major changes in capital punishment laws.

Online Dating Profile: Why You Can’t Get A Date

Dawg — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 02:46:52 +0000

Not having much luck in online dating? Your online dating profile may be the reason. It could also be how you respond to other's profiles. The two may not necessarily go hand-in-hand, but they are closely related. We have posted articles on how to write a good dating profile as well as how to respond to one right here on this blog. An article on CNN Tech goes further and offers examples on why you may not be getting dates online.

Your missive doesn't have to be Pulitzer-worthy, by any means -- although spell check really doesn't hurt -- but there's a whole passel of openers that will get you deleted from a digital dater's heart.
1). The generalizer
Example: hey, wuts up?
Why no one wants you: You're probably stupid. Or possibly illiterate. What's going on with you? Something cool? OK, tell him/her about that, instead. Nothing at all? Go out and cultivate a hobby of some sort, and then get back to us.
2). The autobiographer
Example: Hi! My name is Sandi! I moved to L.A. from Oklahoma a couple of months ago and, I have to say, I'm lovin' it! I just adore walking my 6-year-old Pomeranian, Marshmallow, along Venice Beach!
I'm currently working as a receptionist at a dentist's office, but when I'm not answering all those phones, I really enjoy kicking back with some Lilian Jackson Braun (that cat is SO SMART, solving all those mysteries). Oh! Did I mention I majored in Life Sciences in college and lost my virginity at age 27? Anyway, tell me about YOU!
Why no one wants you: Well, what else is there to find out? We kind of feel like we've already dated you, and we were bored the first time around.
You wouldn't sit down at a bar and tell someone your life story (that role is reserved for the old and deranged), so choose something you and the dude have in common and start with that. There's plenty of time later to run out of things to say.
3). The "eccentric"
Example: Holy Cheezburgers! You sure are a purty lady! I would love to take you down to the playground and push you on the swings! And then we can go to the zoo! Or to the ocean to build a giant sand castle by the sea!
I'll stomp on it and you'll be pissed, but you'll get over it because I'm just so gosh-darned charming. (I'll also be wearing a rather irresistible bow tie -- with a motor!) Write me back, sweet child o' mine -- that sure would be fine (that rhymed!).
Why no one wants you: We are afraid you will murder us in our sleep. Hey, it's great that you're a nonconformist who has his own trained tarantula circus, and any girl who's into well-behaved bugs is sure to dig you, but trying too hard to be interesting is just that: trying too hard. See the full article

There is another way that you can shoot yourself in the foot when dating online, that many don't even think about. I cannot tell better than the image below:

Yes, a carefully crafted online image can cause you to lose out when the date goes real-life. Sort of like executives avoiding social media as they know that spontaneity can be the arch-enemy of a carefully crafted public image. You can be careless in online dating and you can also be too careful.

Never Argue with a Woman (Joke)

Dawg — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 01:24:19 +0000

One morning, the husband returns the boat to their lakeside cottage after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out.

She motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up, and begins to read her book. The peace and solitude are magnificent.

Along comes a Fish and Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, 'Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?'

'Reading a book,' she replies, (thinking, 'Isn't that obvious?')

'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her.

'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading.'

'Yes, but I see you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.'

'If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,' says the woman.

'But I haven't even touched you,' says the Game Warden.

'That's true, but you have all the equipment... For all I know you could start at any moment.'

'Have a nice day ma'am,' and he left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

Are You Dating A Loser?

Dawg — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 23:10:00 +0000

Ladies, How To Tell You're Dating A Loser

The term "loser" is often misused. Like, one time I happened to be watching one of the reality dating shows on TV and this pretty-looking but apparently brainless girl says she considers a man who lives with a roommate a loser. I felt insulted. I have lived with roommates most of my (younger) adult life, not because I couldn't afford the full rent but because I like to save. But anyway, there are some real losers out there. Many a girl has at one time or other dated one of these, and it is not pretty. It is the definition of agony.

I found a very interesting and wonderfully written post about this. It talks about the red flags that will tell you that you're dating… well, a loser:

1 He demands sex on the first date. He asks you to "live a little" and experience heaven with him on the first date, and he'll be "very disappointed" since he "already booked the room". This, although you don't even know his middle name. And even after that first encounter, you hardly hear from him and when he does BBM, it's because he wants to ask when he can "stop by". Red flag!

2 He calls his mom more than he calls you... and she just happens to be the roommate he just can't imagine moving away from... and he's 45. It's always good when a guy shows concern about his mother's general well-being and keeps in touch, but it should not be a case where he is calling her more than he calls you or where he's living with her past middle age. If he still allows his mother to run his life, then chances are he is not ready for a committed relationship.

3 He primps with your stuff. If you find him in the bathroom shaving his legs or his armpits with your razor, or in your closet trying on your shoes; if you're sharing couch time on a Saturday night painting nails and sharing aloe vera pore-shrinking masks with him; if he knows more about your weave than you do, then hit the ground running.

4 He disses his ex. It doesn't matter how much his ex hurt him, if your current beau spends a lot of time dissing his ex, then he will have no problem dissing you too. Be extra careful of a man who refers to every single ex as "crazy" or a "stalker". Chances are, he was the problem! A gentleman speaks respectfully of others or not at all. Read the full article.

Have you ever dated a loser? We would love to hear from you. You can tell your story in the comments below.

Fat Women Dating Sites? Yes, They Do Exist

Joke: Husband and Wife Miscommunication Freaks Out Widow

Dawg — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 19:12:15 +0000

I couldn't help sharing yet another one from an internet friend. A lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address!!

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.

Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the e-mail.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston , a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack.

The widow decided to check her e-mail expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted.

The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: January _, _

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in.

I've seen that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P. S. Sure is freaking hot down here!!!!
