BEING A MOTHER...

BEING A MOTHER... After 17 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, 'I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.' * * * The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been alone for 20 years, but the demands of my work and my two boys had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. * * * That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. * * * 'What's wrong, aren't you well,' she asked? * * * My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. * * * 'I thought it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,' I responded. 'Just the two of us.' She thought about it for a moment, and then said, 'I would like that very much

To Be 6 Again

To Be 6 Again... A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her birthday. 'I'd like to be six again', she replied, still looking in the mirror. On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Roller Coaster, everything there was. Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.

Confessions of a CNO

I thought I had to choose between being a nurse and a performer. But I found a job that let me do all that and more. By Val Gokenbach As I connect with all of the wonderful nurses that I have had the privilege to work with over thirty-five years in administration, and ask them why they became nurses, the answers are inevitably similar. "I want to help people," "I wanted to be a nurse like my mom," "I want to feel valuable to the greater good or the community." My journey to nursing was not so altruistic. I must confess, I wanted to be a dancer, not a nurse. My goal was to live and dance professionally in New York City. A friend who was studying nursing convinced me that if I took a couple of years off from dancing to obtain my nursing degree, I could have a good job between shows and I wouldn't have to wait tables like other striving actresses and dancers. I thought her suggestion was a great idea, even though I felt that my place in life was to make people happy by entertaining them. But when I began working in the hospital as a nurse, my life was transformed.

How Self Defense For Women is Unique

By Joseph Then With all the self defense courses out there aimed at women, it's easy to wonder whether or not this focus on women is all just a marketing ploy. The truth is, though, the things women need to know about self defense do differ from what men need to know and it's not all about physical strength. Once you know how self defense for women is unique, you be better able to choose the right self defense course for you. Body language One of the major problems that trips women up when it comes to self defense is the tendency to look worried and fearful when in potentially dangerous places. Men tend to be better at bluffing even when they are afraid. Since attackers rely on body language to pick out someone weak enough for them to overcome, women you have learned to show strength despite fear are less likely to be attacked. Being "nice"

Ovarian Cervical Uterine Cancer By Sarfaraz Ali

Often dubbed as a silent killer it claims several lives per year is prevalent amongst women of all ages. Women who have had ancestors suffer from this very disease have a magnified risk of developing it. Being knowledgeable about the intensity of its various degrees is significant for the determination of the treatment options. Visibility of its symptoms is often misunderstood as the symptoms for some other less fatal diseases. Still some of the common symptoms that become visible at the initial stage include abdominal uneasiness that is supervened by bloating. Both these feelings intensify with the passage of time. Further an irregular urinary pattern despite the absence of an infection is one of the prime causes. Nausea and digestion problems also encompass along with inexplicable pain and inflation in the pelvic area.

Two-Way Mirrors!

How can you tell when you are in a room, restroom, motel etc. with a mirror or a 2-way glass? Here's how: I thought it was quite interesting! And I know in about 30 seconds you're going to do what I did and find the nearest mirror. Do you know how to determine if a mirror is 2-way or not? A POLICEWOMAN who travels all over the US and gives seminars and techniques for businesswomen passed this on. When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror (i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them)?
