1. Guys hate sluts.

3. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.

4. Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what they're gonna say so there aren't awkward pauses, but once he's on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes.

5. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.

6. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.

7. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're goin for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.

8. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.

9. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.

Desperate Americans Selling Nest Eggs, Life Insurance To Raise Cash

US consumers are strapped, and now that their personal ATM machines houses are depreciating, they're being forced to look elsewhere for cash to pay today's bills. The WSJ catalogs a handful of the increasingly popular products that have been rushed onto the market to address this need:

Life settlements. Sell the life insurance policy you've been making payments on for years for about 20% of the face value. The company that buys it will keep making the payments--and collect the full value when you die.

"Reverse mortgages." Take out another mortgage, but one that doesn't require monthly payments--only a bullet payment when you die or leave the house for a year.

401k loans. Pay interest on money you already have--but spend that money now instead of letting it compound for your retirement.

Lets Discuss CULTURE

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Culture (from the Latin cultura stemming from colere, meaning "to cultivate,")^[1] generally refers to patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that give such activities significance and importance. Cultures can be "understood as systems of symbols and meanings that even their creators contest, that lack fixed boundaries, that are constantly in flux, and that interact and compete with one another"^[2] Different definitions of "culture" reflect different theoretical bases for understanding, or criteria for evaluating, human activity.

anthropologists understand "culture" to refer not only to consumption goods, but to the general processes which produce such goods and give them meaning, and to the social relationships and practices in which such objects and processes become embedded. For them, culture thus includes art, science, as well as moral systems.

Deep-sea spider crab

This spider crab walks along the bottom of the deep oceans on long delicate legs. It searches for animals that don't move such as shellfish. The spider crab stabs its victim with its hollow tube-like mouth and sucks out the body contents.

Clip Source: www.gould.edu.au

Tripod fish

The tripod fish uses its long slender fins to feel for its prey. The fins work like the antennae on insects. The tripod fish faces into the current and waits for other fish to bump into its fins. Then 'snap', the meal is caught.

Clip Source: www.gould.edu.au

Prickly deep-sea angler fish

Nothing escapes the needle-sharp teeth of the angler fish. It even has teeth in its throat. The angler fish attracts other fish with a glowing lure dangling from its jaw. Once its prey is close, the angler fish's jaws can grab it.

Clip Source: www.gould.edu.au

Loosejaw

'Open wide, come inside.' Its large mouth gives this fish the best chance of snatching and eating anything it might bump into. The lower jaw of its mouth has no flesh. This allows the fish to close its mouth very quickly.

Clip Source: www.gould.edu.au

Spirula squid

The spirula squid's body contains a spiral shell in its back. This shell helps the squid move through the water with its head pointing down. The spirula squid is able to draw its head, arms and tentacles into its body. Sometimes you can find a spiral shell washed up on the beach.

Clip Source: www.gould.edu.au

Goblin Shark

This strange shark has a peak growing out from its forehead. Its teeth are set at an angle and are shaped for catching fish. The goblin shark moves slowly through the water. It grows to four metres long. Because this shark has never been seen alive, we know little about the way it lives.

I've learned that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. The same goes for true love.

I've learned that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I've learned that you can keep going long after you can't.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

Children Learn What They Live (1998)

by Dorothy Law Nolte (1924 - 2005)

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.
