Why ?
I've read so many articles over the years about Women living at least 8 years longer then Men ,and I don't like it ,or understand it. It just isn't fair. I can't really reason it out in my mind. I know Women are more likely to see the Doctor than Men are,but married men get tormented by their wives to see the Doctor whether they want to or not. (at least my husband is ) Why do you think there is such a huge gap in the life expectancy of women vs men,and how can we change it.

What about hugging another male? A. If he’s your father and at least one of you has a fatal disease. B. If you’re performing the Heimlich maneuver. (And even in this case, you should repeatedly shout: "I am just dislodging food trapped in this male’s trachea! I am not in any way aroused!" C. If you’re a professional baseball player and a teammate hits a home run to win the World Series, you may hug him provided that: 1. He is legally within the base path, 2.

One leisurely Sunday afternoon the two of you are taking it easy-you’re watching a football game; she’s reading the papers-when she suddenly, out of the clear blue sky, tells you that she thinks she really loves you, but she can no longer bear the uncertainty of not knowing where your relationship is going. She says she’s not asking whether you want to get married; only whether you believe that you have some kind of future together. What do you say? A. That you sincerely believe the two of you do have a future, but you don’t want to rush it. B. That although you also have strong feelings for her, you cannot honestly say that you’ll be ready anytime soon to make a lasting commitment, and you don’t want to hurt her by holding out false hope. C. That you cannot believe the Jets called a draw play on third and seventeen. 8.

How do you tell her? A. You take her to a nice restaurant and tell her after dinner. B. You take her for a walk on a moonlit beach, and you say her name, and when she turns to you, with the sea breeze blowing her hair and the stars in her eyes, you tell her. C. Tell her what? 9.

A real guy checks the garbage regularly in case somebody-and we are not naming names, but this would be his wife-is quietly trying to discard his underwear, which she is frankly jealous of, because the guy seems to have a more intimate relationship with it than with her. 11.

He was being tested. B. He wanted them to really appreciate the Promised Land when they finally got there. C. He refused to ask for directions. 12. What is the human race’s single greatest achievement? A. Democracy. B. Religion. C. Remote control. How to Score... Give yourself one point for every time you picked answer "C." A real guy would score at least 10 on this test. Give yourself a bonus 5 points for knowing the Alzheimer’s joke.

Unborn Baby grabs surgeons hand
Unborn baby grabs surgeons ~ Awesome! ~ A picture began circulating in November. It should be 'The Picture of the Year,' or perhaps, 'Picture of the Decade.’ It won't be. In fact, unless you obtained a copy of the US paper which published it, you probably would never have seen it. The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta . She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville , he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb. During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr. Bruner completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger. Dr. Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile. The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the picture, 'Hand of Hope.’ The text explaining the picture begins, 'The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life.' Little Samuel's mother said they 'wept for days' when they saw the picture. She said, 'the photo reminds us pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a little person.’ Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful. Now see the actual picture, and it is awesome...incredible... and hey, pass it on. The world needs to see this one!

Opinion on the Starbucks situation.
I think it is pathetic that some one would order a hot drink then complain about it. You know the drink is hot, it says caution all over the cup, not to mention it is tea. Tea has always been served hotter than coffee, it has to steep. And as far as the settlement amount, I will blow my head off if that SOB gets more than a few grand. I am a disabled ex electrician of 18 years, and I was used and abused by every company I worked for. As soon as I got hurt, work comp basically screws you and laws protect the companys not the employees. If you get hurt on the job in Colorado, you might as well kiss your dreams and asspirations of life out the window. I have a back that is so messed up and it is all from work, and all I have ever received for multiple injuries combined is about $32,000 bucks, and keep in mind these injuries are permanent and have altered my life permanently for the rest of my life. I am only 37, I have multiple disc problems in my lumbar, and constant pain that hurts me all day, dics degeneration in the rest of my back due to the injuries. I am forever screwed, I can't take care of my family like I would normaly be able to, and these are major set backs, I only wish I had a thired degree burn all over my chest, at least it would go away!!!! Try staying in constant REAL pain all day and all night all the time and you have no money because you have been screwed by liers and scam artists that work for insurance companies that come up with crafty ways of screwing you. I say this guy is a whiney **bleep** complainer and is a gold digger. Give that kind of money to some one who needs it, some one that is losing their house as a direct result of the accident. Poor baby, get back in your car and cry.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My accidents all related to work and a care accident shortly after comp let me go (still in very poor condition and not fixed at all). I just can't believe one would ask for so much money for such a minor injury. My injury has me on morphine, xanax, valium, and I have been on all this crap for over a year. One lie from my boss to his comp carrier and BLAM your done for. So this guy gets a "Grow a set and be a man, whimp". Your a gold digger and so shall you make you bed so shall you sleep in it. GO STARBUCKS FOR ALLOWING OPEN CARRY OF HAND GUNS AND RESPECTING THE HARD WORKING LAW ABIDING CITIZENS THAT ARE SIMPLY EXERCISING A RIGHT WE HAVE HAD SINCE THE BEGINNING OF OUR NATION. Get a good lawyer Starbucks and tell that guy to stuff it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so tired of whiners!
It seems my life is full to the brim with whiners, you know the "poor me" type. I am finding that I just walk away from them now. Probably not the most empathetic thing to do. If they aren't whiners then it seems they are "know-it-alls". YUCK! Say, this does sound like whining doesn't it? LOL

Citi late payment – what should I do and what is coming next?
Hi all, I just noticed about 10 minutes ago that my citi credit card payment was due on Friday. I just made a payment but it will be processed Monday. This is my first time in my life having done a late payment, and I am afraid what is coming next. This card still carries a balance (a few thousand dollars) and I cannot pay it done in full. I have another citi card which carries a balance. 1. Are they going to apply default APR to my card? 2. Does the late payment affect my other citi credit card or ones from other issuers? 3. Is it better to call citi to ask for a one-time courtesy? Thank you for your help.

Should I ask for a CLI?
For the 1st time in my life, I am in the 700 club thanks to all your advice. The things helping my score is that I have no inquiries, but the things hurting it is my utilization. I have a closed Bank of America card that I owe $2250 on. It has a $2500 limit I have a $500 sears (Citi) card that I owe $0 on I have a $1000 Home Depot (Citi) card that I owe $200 on. I have had the $500 Sears card for 5 years now and never asked for an increase and never been late. Do you think it will help or hurt my score to ask for a CLI? They will only do a hard pull??? Thank you in advance for your help.
