This week I just had to share with you an article from the Ann Landers column. It's a very insightful article about life and how you should live it.
The article is called, "The Station" and was written by the late Robert J. Hastings:
Tucked away in our subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling
hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day, at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering - waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
"When we reach the station, that will be it!" we cry. "When I'm 18." "When I buy a new 45o SL Mercedes Benz!" "When I put the last kid through college." When I have paid off the mortgage!" "When I get a promotion." "When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!"
Sooner or later we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.
"Relish the moment" is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118:24 "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.
Are Long -Distance Relationships With Single Women Worth It?
Monday, December 06, 2010 | Dating Tips | 0 comments »Here are my experiences with long-distance relationships and why I prefer not to get involved in them:
1. Sooner or later, it's going to occur to the girls that she is missing out on a social life because of a spoken or implied commitment to you. She will subconsciously begin to resent you and trouble will follow.
2. You are probably passing up opportunities for involvement with other single women.
3. You are spending a fortune on phone bills and travel.
This invariably breeds aggravation, frustration, suspicion, anxiety and trouble. All this for a romance with less than favorable odds?
If you do become involved in a long-distance relationship with single women, then follow this advice:en
1. Don't forget. Your fidelity does not insure hers. Continue to pursue your social life and sex life. See other single women. Make yourself available.
2. The more intensity there is in the long-distance romance, the higher the likelihood it will burn out. Keep it casual and friendly. Friendships by mail can last a long time and who knows? Someday, circumstances may bring you together. It never hurts to keep your irons in the fire.
3. If necessary, pay her way to visit you. Never travel to where she lives. If you go to where she lives, you lose the home-court advantage. You are in unfamiliar territory around people you don't know, and you are being judged by her family and friends. It is a difficult situation to be in when you're trying to present your best side.
5 Dating Tips for Men When on a Dining Date
Saturday, December 04, 2010 | Dating Tips | 0 comments »1. If you are eating soup, please do not slurp your soup. This is bad manners and will turn off your date.
2. If you do talk on your cell phone (which is rude when on a date) do not talk loud. This will annoy your date and the other patrons in the restaurant.
3. Do not talk with your mouth full. This is gross and who wants to look at someone's food in their mouth.
4. Do not flirt with your waitress. This could make your date never want a second date with you.
5. If you bring a kid or kids with you on a date, do not let them run wild in the restaurant. This will disturb others and prevent them from enjoying their meal.
Try these opening lines guys:
“I’m writing a book on opening lines. Which ones would work on you?”
“You look like someone I would like to start a conversation with.”
“Excuse me, do you have a moment?”
“Do you know what the weather report is for this weekend cause I’m going to the beach. Would you like to come along?”
“I know you, I dreamed about you last night.”

When you are at nightclubs or bars look for women drinking mixed drinks through a straw. Why? Because women whether they are aware of it or not you can get a quicker buzz from their drink by sipping it through a straw. The air taken in when using a straw in a drink causes the alcohol to have a quicker effect.
