    Is This the Perfect Woman?

    Here is one man’s idea of the perfect woman (as outlined in a letter to Elle Magazine‘s E. Jean).

    Does this ideal woman exist, or is she just a myth?

    She must be . . .

    Out-of-this-world intelligent and passionate

    Extremely independent with eclectic and diverse interests

    Not needy, high-maintenance, jealous, or requiring constant attention

    Supersexual and sexually adventurous

    Multiorgasmic via vaginal sex

    On the Pill

    5’7″ to 6’1″

    Gorgeous

    Ambitious

    Loves big dogs

    Happy!

    Healthy!

    Nice!

    In her 20s

    Very thin (but not because she’s starving herself or has food issues — I want someone who will be thin her entire life)

    Atheist, agnostic, or not religious

    Does not want kids in the next five years

    Plays tennis very well

    Helicopter skis

    Is dying to learn how to kiteboard

    Plays video games (maybe I am asking for a bit much here :))

    Anyone who aspires to be a housewife is automatically eliminated

  • Jeep Super Bowl Commercial: America Will Be Whole Again

    Spread the love

    Our Nation's Heroes

    Here is another Super Bowl commercial from the 2013 game. Jeep and USO offers a really neat video tribute to our military heroes.

     

     

    Here is the text of this Super Bowl commercial:

    We wait. We hope. We pray. Until you’re home again. – Oprah Winfrey

    There will be a seat left open, a light left on, a favorite dinner waiting, a warm bed made.

    There will be walks to take, swings to push, and baths to give.

    On your block, at the school, in your church, because in your home in our hearts, you’ve been lived.

    You’ve been needed. You’ve been cried for, prayed for.

    You’ve been the reason we push on.

    Half the battle was just knowing that this is half the battle.

    Because when you’re home, we are more than a family. We are a nation that is whole again.

    Super Bowl Commercial 2013: So God Made a Farmer

    Videos can be infographics. Listen in to this great TV ad for Ram Trucks narrated by Paul Harvey and aired first at the 2013 Super Bowl.

     

     

    Here is the text for this ad:

    And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, “I need a caretaker.” So God made a farmer.

    God said, “I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper, then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board.” So God made a farmer.

    God said, “I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a newborn colt and watch it die, then dry his eyes and say, ‘Maybe next year.’ I need somebody who can shape an ax handle from a persimmon sprout, shoe a horse with a hunk of car tire, who can make a harness out of hay wire, feed sacks and shoe scraps. Who planting time and harvest season will finish his 40-hour week by Tuesday noon and then, paining from tractor back, put in another 72 hours.” So God made a farmer.

    God said, “I need somebody strong enough to clear trees and heave bales, yet gentle enough to yean lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink-comb pullets. Who will stop his mower for an hour to splint the leg of a meadowlark.” So God made a farmer.

    It had to be somebody who’d plow deep and straight and not cut corners. Somebody to seed, weed, feed, breed, and brake, and disk, and plow, and plant, and tie the fleece, and strain the milk. Somebody who’d bale a family together with the soft, strong bonds of sharing, who would laugh, and then sigh, and then reply with smiling eyes when his son says that he wants to spend his life doing what Dad does. So God made a farmer.

  • J P Reynolds: 10 Things I Learned About Weddings

    Spread the love

    J P Reynolds on Weddings

    The greatest gift parents can give their children are the words: This is your wedding, so whatever you want is fine with us.

    There is no one correct way to celebrate your wedding.

    A groom needs to do more than just show up.

    No 2-year-old should ever have to walk down a long aisle by herself.

    The money you spend on a wedding coordinator is the best money you’ll spend on your wedding.

    Brides who are myopically obsessed about the perfect wedding don’t really enjoy their wedding day.

    You don’t have to believe in God to have a ceremony that is warm, gracious, & inviting.

    It’s possible to create a ceremony that honors different cultures and traditions.

    Your wedding is a gift to your family and friends.

    Couples that try not to cry during the ceremony make some very odd faces.

    By J P Reynolds, author of Ever Thine, Ever Mine, Ever Ours: Choosing the Right Words for Your Vows.
