What women want: A response to the merman or inverse-merman debate!

Some time ago, I posted a picture of a cute mermaid and an “inverse-mermaid” (basically, a fish with legs!). I asked guys, in case they happened to be on an inhabited island, which company would they prefer. The most interesting response was Bobby’s, who asked in return:

“But what if there is a MERMAN and INVERSE MERMAN and girls had to choose one of them. For curiosity purpose I would like to know what Woman have chosen?”

Good question! It really made me wonder, so to answer … read more

Many years ago, my ex-husband’s grandmother explained me how she could not understand why her grand-son in his teenager years was so infatuated with that girl… she reckoned in New Caledonia a woman will put a few drops of her menstrual blood in a man’s drink to make him fall in love. Ewww, that’s disgusting!

I remembered that story as I was listening to the radio. They were talking about celebrities weird fan gifts and Enrique Iglesias said he received a used tampon. My friend and I just looked at each other and just wondered why on earth would you do … read more

Do I hear Aye, Aye from the entire planet’s mass of persecuted parents? Why do teenagers have to be such a pain to live with in the first place? They are by far harder than your spouse, than your nosy neighbor and than your slave-driving boss.

You see, it’s paradoxical. When the proverbial stork initially delivers these “creatures”, otherwise fondly referred to as babies, they come with some level of management, but painful as it can be sometimes, it’s usually within your abilities if you stretch yourself.

The bird sang outside her window, waking her with the dawn. Mara rolled over and pulled the sheets over her eyes. Another day, another mad scrabble to make sense of her life. Her existence had been overtaken by some rather peculiar dreams. Mara was determined to put a stop to it, one way or the other.

You have no doubt been in a situation, as a woman, where you have an ill man in your hands. Nothing major, just a cold or flu or bad tummy. It’s amazing how these are treated as life threatening illnesses. If you want him to get better, my advice to you is to let him go through the entire cycle of whimpering, whining and groaning. Once he is done, he will be better, will get out of bed and life will be normal once again.

You have seen the annual flu. None of us goes for long without contracting one. You … read more

As a woman who wants to successfully relate with a man, whether your husband, boyfriend, brother, cousin, dad or even room-mate, you must know the no-go zones of males to make any success of the relationship.  There are some boundaries you don’t cross with men, and knowing these boundaries will go a big way in holding the peace:

1. TV

Whatever you do, his TV habits are out of bounds for you. If he wants to stare at the Sports Channel like a complete idiot all day and half the evening, please … read more

Female Prayer:

Before I lay me down to sleep ,
I pray for a man, who’s not a creep,
One who’s handsome, smart and strong,
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who’ll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he’s gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, won’t be annoyed
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.

This is a cool picture that my ex-husband received on his mobile phone and we immediately thought about the same thing: send it to our daughter dearest…

Once upon a time, a guy asked a beautiful girl “Will you marry me?”

The girl said “NO!”

We all have those little things that seemed to annoy the hell out of us… One thing that really bothers me when I go to the toilets is to find the toilet roll put up the wrong way!  My boyfriend does it, my kids do it, my ex-husband does it…  At first I thought it was because I am left handed and right handed people do not seem to have the same logic as me.

Thanks to the Internet, and for the people who have to argue with me about it, I finally found proof that I was right and someone … read more

Once applied, lipstick will never rub off -even while scuba diving.

It’s easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread.

All children, from an early age, develop obsessions. Little girls hang onto one favorite doll. Little boys may have a Superman or Spiderman toy that has to go everywhere with them.

Some toys are even common between the sexes; you’ll occasionally see a girl or a boy who won’t let go of Big Bird until they fall asleep. It’s interesting that some will push this obsession to puzzling degrees: a sick looking, threadbare baby blanket could make the difference between whether the household gets any sleep or not.
