Just Trust Me Honey
What Do Men Really Want?
Actually, it’s pretty simple, but most women have the hardest time understanding men. Deep inside the heart of every man is a secret wish to be trusted. How many times have men said to their wives, “If you would just trust me?”
It begins at birth when little boys are given a distinct physical advantage over little girls by having higher levels of testosterone. With testosterone comes the physical strength to defend themselves from danger or run away from a threat. Most little girls don’t have that ability. They don’t have the strength to defend themselves in a physical fight when they feel threatened.
Allow me to illustrate. Imagine someone told you that I was the meanest person they had ever met. For months, all you heard was how terrible I treated my family and friends.
Then one day you meet me, and during the course of our meeting, you begin to notice that I don’t seem to be as horrible as you have been led to believe. I actually appear to be rather pleasant.
A paradox has just been established. The kindness you have seen in me for the last few weeks does not match what you have heard about me. All the rumors of how mean I am begin to fade into darkness because of my consistent actions. Over time, what you see will replace most, if not all, of your concerns about my character.
Best Damn Grilled Chicken I Ever Ate
Place the chicken pieces in the bowl and rub the pieces evenly with the seasoning paste. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate 6 to 8 hours.
When ready to cook, light the coals or prepare the grill. Bring the chicken to room temperature.
Melt the butter. With a spoon, gently scrape as much of the seasoning paste as possible off of the chicken, combine it with any paste remaining in the bowl and stir it into the butter.
Place the large pieces of the chicken on the hottest spot on the grill and the smaller pieces on the less hot section and cook, turning the pieces and basting several times with the butter paste mixture, until done.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
Comments: This can also be prepared by broiling chicken pieces until brown crust forms, then baking in 300 oven till done.
Or rub a whole chicken with the paste and roast in 300 oven about three hours or until done.

6 Sex MIstakes Men Make
That's because -- after learning the facts of life -- most of us are left to figure out sex for ourselves. Guys tend to take a lot of cues from adult movies, and we all know how true-to-life those are. Experience may help, but many women can be shy when talking about what they like.
To help us with some sex tips, we asked two acclaimed sex educators, Tristan Taormino and Lou Paget, to tell us what they think are the most common sex mistakes men make with women.
Taormino is a prolific author, lecturer, and video producer.
Sex Mistake No.1: You Know What She Wants
Men often make assumptions about what a woman wants based upon what they've done with other women. But women aren't all the same.
"You develop a repertoire as you mature sexually, but you should never assume that what worked for the last person is going to work for this person," Taormino says.
That applies not only to sexual predilections, but also to relationships, she says. "There are women who can have no-strings-attached sex, and women who can get attached very easily, and then everyone in between."
Sex Mistake No. 2: You Have All She Needs
Some women can't have an orgasm with less than 3,000 rpm. No human tongue or fingers can generate that kind of vibration. But men typically think something is wrong if a woman needs a vibrator.
"If the only way that a woman can achieve orgasm is with a vibrator, she's not broken," Taormino says.
Think of a vibrator as your assistant, not your substitute. Many couples use vibrators together. "While you're doing one thing, or two things, the vibrator can be doing something else," Taormino says.
Sex Mistake No. 3: Sex Feels the Same for Men and Women
Paget says there tends to be a "huge disconnect" between men and women in the ways that sex feels good.
"When a man has intercourse with a woman, and his penis goes into her body, that sensation is so off the charts for most men, they cannot imagine that it isn't feeling the same way for her," Paget says. "It couldn't be further from the truth."
The inside of the vagina is probably less sensitive than the outer parts for most women. Also, deep thrusting may not feel so nice on the receiving end. If the penis is too long, "it feels like you're getting punched in the stomach," Paget says. "It makes you feel nauseous
Sex Mistake No. 4: You Know Your Way Around a Woman's Anatomy
Most guys know generally what a clitoris is and where to find it. That's not to say that they really understand it.
More than 30 years ago, at the start of the "sexual revolution," a best-selling book called the Joy of Sex got Americans hip to the orgasmic importance of the clitoris. But the belief that women must be able to orgasm from vaginal penetration stubbornly persists.
"I still get letters from people who say things like, my wife can't [orgasm] from intercourse unless she has clitoral stimulation -- please help," Taormino says. "I want to write back and say, 'OK, what's the problem?'"
"For the majority of women, it's not going to happen that way," Paget says.
Men also lack information about how to touch it and how sensitive it is, Taormino says.
A touch that's bliss for one woman may feel like nothing special, or may even be painful for someone else. Some prefer indirect stimulation.
How can you find out how she likes to be touched? Try asking her.
Sex Mistake No. 5: Wet = Turned On
Guys sometimes get hung up if a woman doesn't get slippery enough for easy penetration. Don't worry about it.
"I think there's a myth that if you're turned on, you're wet," Taormino says. Not necessarily.
Some women tend to get wetter than others, and how much natural lubrication a woman has can change from day to day. It varies by the phase of her menstrual cycle, and it's subject to influences like stress and medications.
Sex Mistake No. 6: Silence Is Golden
A lot of guys think they should be silent during sex, but unless you speak up, your partner has to guess what's doing it for you and what isn't.
If you're respectful about it, a woman who wants to please you will probably appreciate some directions.
"I'm not saying push her head in your lap," Taormino says. "I think that, 'this is how I like it,' is a very useful conversation to have."
Guys ,don't think for a minute that these are the only mistakes you make.They are fairly common mistakes made by many men. Every woman is an individual, with her own likes and dislikes. You have to learn from her, not your friends in the locker room. A condensed article, like this, on the internet can't tell you all you need to know either.' Good luck','good loving'.

Jenny and Bryan Masche and their 2-year-olds star on WE's reality show "Raising Sextuplets",premiered June 11th.They were asked why they're doing a show .They replied : we won't be able to document this journey[ourselves] and do it justice,says Jenny,34,.There was a little compensation,and they only film us 5/6 days out of a month. Adds Bryan,31, we have professional home movies and we're involved in them.It's the coolest thing.
Asked how they have dealt with the Jon and Kate Contro".....We're so sad for them,but it's been good for us to see so that we can set ground rules, Jenny says.We're not allowed to be a part for more than three days,adds Bryan.Our families help.There are a lot of people to put us in check if we start getting out of hand.
My take on this: Bryan and Jenny , I hope you have learned from Jon and Kate Gosselin,how quickly a little fame and fortune can ruin something very beautiful .You have gorgeous babies and we will enjoy them along with you...so be careful you two,we are watching.

"Cowboy Hits The Big Bucks"
Rancher Neal Wanless hits the lottery and vows to help his struggling hometown.June 8th was "Milk Monday" at Buche's grocery in Mission, S.Dak. ,and Neal Wanless got in on the sale: two gallons at $1.97 instead of $3.45 a gallon.Old habits must die hard,since, surely, he no longer needs to bargain hunt.Twelve days earlier the young rancher whose family home was repossessed in 2008,won the $232 million dollar lottery payout--one of the biggest undivided prizes ever."All right Neal" cheered deli worker Becky Bearshield as he passed her counter carrying his milk. The quiet 23-year old blushed and ,"Thank you Becky".
After waiting nine days to come forward(he will receive a lump sum payment of $88.5 million)Wanless didn't have many words to say at a June 5th press conference.. Wanless said he liked to think the Lord for this opportunity.I will not squander it ,he said.My family has been helped by the community, and I intend to repay it many times over.
Even here,in America's seventh poorest county,there is little envy directed at Wanless,who dropped out of Iowa State University in 2006 to work the family's 320-acre ranch.There's nobody who needs it more,says friend, Greg Assman.It's impossible to make a living on 320 acres..Still,Neal and his parents were trying. His parents owe nearly $2,500.00 in taxes and were selling scrap metal to make ends meet.Bearshields's father used to hire the Wanless to bale hay; once,Becky recalls,they needed money for Neal's graduation,my dad let him have all the hay and all the profit. Dispite his windfall, don't expect Neal to abandon ranch life. Not long ago he was riding a favorite horse, Eleanor, and told her,it'd be nice if we could go for a ride on a bigger ranch of our own. My take on this: It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Money and fame don't make the man.The man is made by the values and principals he was raised with.It seems like the Wanlesses did a good job. As I have said many times, the acorn don't fall far from the tree...But hey that's just me.[giggles]

6 Sex Mistakes That Women Make

It’s 2009 and still, many of us worry about ladylike behavior. We don’t want to appear pushy or come on too strong for fear of being labeled aggressive. According to Les Parrot, professor of psychology at Seattle Pacific University and author of a new book called Crazy Good Sex, failing to initiate sex is one of the biggest mistakes women make.
“Most guys feel like they are always the initiator and that sets up disequilibrium on the passion scale in the relationship,” he says. Generally, men want to be pursued by their partners just as much as women do.
"Holding onto outdated ideas about sex roles also inhibits satisfaction with our sexual relationships," says "Dr. Ruth," aka Ruth Westheimer, PhD, a psychosexual therapist, professor at New York University.
"Show your interest by taking the first step from time to time. Your partner will likely appreciate it, and you may find a new level of satisfaction in taking responsibility for your sexual experience."
Thinking about how you look during sex stops you from enjoying yourself and ruins your chances of achieving an orgasm.
“Don’t think about the fat on your belly or the makeup on your face,” advises Westheimer. “Concentrate on the pleasure of the act. You must give yourself permission to have an orgasm.”
“Men want their wives to abandon themselves in sex play, and that’s not likely if she is anxious about her physical concerns,” Parrott says.
“It’s amazing what men don’t notice if you’re enthusiastic, energetic, interested in them, and flexible minded.”
According to cultral anthropologist, Dr. Helen Fisher, there is an evolutionary explanation for the selective blindness men show to our physical flaws. For Darwinian reasons, says Fisher, men are (unconsciously, of course) looking for women who are able to bear healthy babies. For millions of years, survival of the species has depended upon it.
Westheimer believes we should all let go of old-fashioned notions, such as women are not sexual or that sex is just sex to men. “For some men, sex is a very important act. Don’t minimize it.”
The research, says Parrott, supports the idea that both men and women find sexual intimacy in the context of a committed relationship to be more satisfying
“Numerous research studies make it very clear that the people who have the best quality and most frequent sex are married couples. That says a lot about the inadequacies of ‘casual sex,” Parrot says.
In a study being conducted by Fisher and her colleagues of university students engaging in one-night stands, the numbers show that men are just as serious about sex and relationshipss as women. In fact, more than 50% of women and 52% of men who went into a one-night stand, according to Fisher, reported that they did so hoping to create a longer relationship. One-third of them actually did so. What’s the lesson?
“Never assume that a man is not romantic,” Fisher says. “Two huge mistakes in this culture are that women are not sexual and that men are not as romantic [as women].”
Sure, most teenage boys are ready and willing just about any time you ask, but not true for men. The pressures of everyday life -- family, work, bills -- can zap a man’s libido. This comes as a big surprise to many women, and often his lack of interest in sex is something we take personally.
“It comes as such a shock [to women] that they just don’t believe it,” Fisher says about the reaction many women have when their partner says they aren’t in the mood for sex. “They know themselves that they are not always interested in sex but they still love the man. But when they discover he doesn’t want to have sex, they think, ‘he doesn’t love me.’ Not true. He just doesn’t want to have sex.”
Sex Mistake #5: Not Giving Him Guidance
Talking very directly about sex, what we like and don’t like can make us feel uncomfortable, even with a partner we’ve been with for a long time and otherwise feel close to, says Parrott. But it’s the only way to achieve a satisfying sexual relationship.
“A woman must take responsibility for her sexual encounter,” says Westheimer. “No man can bring a woman to orgasm if she doesn’t take responsibility for her sexual experience. Even the best lover can’t know what she needs without her letting him know.”
The good news, according to Fisher, is that men very much want to please women.
“If you can tell them in a way that doesn’t kill their ego, they will appreciate it,” says Fisher. She advises women to sandwich what they don’t like in between five things they do, because he’s listening. “You won’t find out until the next time you’re in bed with him. But men do listen, particularly if you’re quite clear about it.”
Sex Mistake #6: Getting Upset When He Suggests Something New
After a couple has been together for a while, it’s natural to want to spice things up with a little variety. Just because your man wants to try something new doesn’t mean he’s unhappy with you or your sex life. In short: Don’t take it personally.
Still, it’s important that you tune into your comfort zone says Parrott.
“Nobody should ever feel obligated to do something they don’t want to do in the personal and intimate area of sexuality,” Parrott says. “If your man asks you about trying something that’s outside of your morals, make it clear that it’s off limits for you and explain why. Of course, do this in a loving way as best you can. If it is something that is not really a moral issue for you but you still don’t want to, again explain why. If it is a simply a startling request and you’re initially uneasy about it, try not to overreact. Instead, let him know you need some time to think about it.” It's hard to open yourself up to new things sexually sometimes. Don't be afraid girls. If you don't like it,don't do it again. But honey, you just might discover something you really like. What have you got to lose ,but perhaps a little dignity.
