Men vs. Women 23 Thaddeus Carlton says: (Hey, everyone, the best way to get “Men vs. Women” is to become My Friend. All my friends receive these articles as ‘bulletins’ every day). Now, back to business: Hold her! Whisper into her ear and say, “I love you!” Take her out to dinner. Get dressed up sometimes and take her dancing! Bring her flowers, candy, jewelry, new cars and cookies! Prepare an occasional meal for her (make her something she can appreciate, not that Spam and peanut butter concoction that you think is delicious!). Sing to her! Give her massages! Buy her clothing, shoes, maybe a summer home in the Swiss Alps…Go to the mall with her instead of watching an important sports event (make sure you let her know that you are sacrificing an exciting day in front of the TV because you’d rather be with her!). What, you say you don’t want to be with her in the place of watching sports? Tell her anyway, Bozo!!! As much as you lie to her already (you told her you were working late when you were really out playing poker with ‘the boys’,…You told her that that lipstick on your collar was from a cherry Danish that slipped out of your hand and slid down your neck),… you can tell her you would like to spend the day with her! It’s not going to kill you! You lie to her to have sex and that doesn’t kill you! Remember when you told her that the doctor prescribed sex to cure that rare disease you made up? You even showed her a prescription (as if she was a pharmacist!). Lying to her about wanting to spend some quality time with her will get you ‘layed’ easier than lying about your potentially terminal illness! Seriously, there are some things every man must do! Doing what your woman wants to do is your obligation (and since it does fall under ‘The Code Of Men’, which begins “Everything a man does for a woman must somehow result in sex!”, its OK! Look at all the people The President Of The United States must pay off politically or financially to get a bill passed? Meanwhile

Thank you, Mr. Jones for your humanitarian work. The world appreciates it.
Your New Orleans podcasts were quite sad, but such a personal view, from your armchair, and in your sweater, brought home a lot of what i was feeling about the people who lost everything.
I have a friend, who lived in New Orleans. I haven't heard from him since the hurricane. His phone is a constant busy signal.
I google earthed his address, and there is a vast expanse of nothing where his house used to be.
When i watched recent coverage of hurricane Dolly, they showed lots of little dots along the coast that represented all the oil rigs that are up again. They were put up within a month or two after the hurricane hit new orleans, and washed them away.
The commentator was glad and said we could all give a sigh of relief, the oil wells wouldn't be affected by hurricane Dolly.
I wish they had been destroyed. Those oil wells are responsible for the increased temperature of the oceans which have increased the strength, and frequency of the hurricanes hitting the gulf coast.
Well, oil wells don't build themselves, they are there because a lot of people don't care about anything, but their own freedom, especially their freedom to travel quickly, and cheaply.
After the war started, i didn't use my car for a year and a third, in protest of the oil wars.
I barely use it at all, now. I walk everywhere, and spend only $20 a month on gas, that is around 4 gallons in Los Angeles now.
Everyone complains about gas cutting into their wallets. I wish it was $25 a gallon. I think money is the only way to get some people to do anything at all.
Thanks for doing things for the world because you want to help, and not just because of the money.
