If you’re a guy and you can’t remember where you place your wallet, don’t worry, you’re just having a bout of anxiety perhaps or maybe getting older – no big deal.
But if you’re a guy and you can’t remember your wife’s birthday, either you have a serious problem with your wife or with your own mind. So, you could either go to a marriage counselor or a doctor, as the case maybe.
A new study showed that men are more likely than women to have problems with memory and other thinking skills, symptoms considered to be an early stage ...
If you’re a woman who’s a workaholic, get married. If you’re a man who’s lazy, get married, too.
Better yet, a lazy man should look for a workaholic woman to tie the knot with, and a workaholic woman should look for a lazy man? Oops, could that be realistic?
Well, a new study tends to support that. In precise terms, the study said having a husband creates an extra seven hours of housework each week for women while for men, getting married saves an hour of weekly chores.
“Men tend to work more outside the home, while women take on more ...
How could it still happen? How could people let it happen?
The recent news from Texas about hundreds of girls locked up in a compound where they were raped and kept as slaves by much older men belonging to a polygamist sect was indeed mind-blowing.
It’s good one of the girls finally had the courage to speak the unspeakable and reported the matter to the authorities who then raided the compound of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in San Angelo, Texas.
US authorities rescued more than 400 children, most of them girls, from the clutches of ...
After more than 10 years, Princess Diana may now rest in peace. Or would she?
Last Monday, April 7, 2008, a British inquest jury delivered a verdict of unlawful killing in the deaths of the Princess and her boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed in the August 31, 1997 Paris car crash, blaming the driving of their chauffeur Henri Paul, who was also killed, and chasing paparazzi photographers.
Later, Dodi’s father, the billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed declared that enough is enough as he announced that he was abandoning his decade-long legal battle over Princess Diana's fatal car crash, and accepting an inquest ...
To be rich, a guy has got to gamble. And to have the urge to gamble, the guy has got to have sex in his mind!
This was the finding of a recent brain-scan study by US scientists who sought to understand what’s going on in the minds of the world’s billionaires when they make risky financial gambles.
In the study, young men who were shown erotic pictures were found to develop a stronger desire to make large financial gamble than if they were shown a picture of something scary, such a snake, or something neutral, such as a stapler.
The ...
Okay, this stuff is for mature readers only. So if you’re a girl still playing with your dolls or teddy bears, you may want to skip this. But if you’re really curious…
For guys who feel they’ve let down their bed mates because they came too quickly, don’t despair. Sex therapists in the US have found out it doesn’t take long to satisfy a woman in bed. Their findings will be published in the May 2008 issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, according to an Associated Press report this week.
In the surveys they conducted, the sex therapists found ...
No, silly you, it’s not – yet – the end of the world. But it could be, soon enough, if you and the rest of humanity fail to heed the warning signs of global warming, the objective of the global movement called Earth Hour.
At least 371 cities, 26 of them major ones, around the world will turn off their lights for one hour beginning at 0900 GMT (that’s 8 p.m. Saturday if you’re in Manila) plunging millions of people into darkness to raise awareness about global warming.
Cities that have officially signed on for the event include Sydney (where ...
I got two moon stories here – both intriguing or silly, whichever way you look at it.
First, scientists have announced that they have discovered a moon on Saturn that appears to contain the basic ingredients for life -- warmth, water and organic chemicals.
The small Saturnian moon is called Enceladus where scientists reported seeing geysers at its south pole continuously shooting watery plumes some 500 miles off its icy surface into space last Wednesday, March 26, 2008.
The plumes were seen through the cameras of the Cassini spacecraft when it flew over the surface of Enceladus last March 12 as ...
Extramarital traffic jams everywhere
Mar 29 2008
Posted by Jay as Family Features, Featured Articles
Watching the news on TV or reading it from the papers in any given day, you would inevitably find a story about the extramarital affairs of this and that politician or celebrity.
Extramarital affairs are like traffic on rush hours – you can’t escape not seeing or not being with people who are doing it.
Indeed, faithful husbands and wives have become rarities. Their pictures and other mementoes could be displayed in a museum someday, with a caption that reads: “This is how mankind used to be.”
The scientists say this is not really something outa-this-world. They say only 3 percent ...

If you’re shelling out more money for food these days, don’t be too surprised – You’re not the only one whose pockets are bleeding from high food prices.
From Albania to Zimbabwe – and all countries in between in alphabetical order – consumers are complaining about rising food prices.
In the Philippines, for instance, rice has doubled in prices since last January and threatens to triple in the days ahead. The price tag of practically every edible item is skyrocketing – pork, beef, chicken, vegetables, fish.
The same is true with fuel prices of course. The only thing not rising in ...

Daryl of Dunder Mifflin
This news is a little sad for me because I am a huge fan of the TV sitcom “The Office”. I’ve been following this show for the past two years and have really admired all the characters. One of my personal favorites was Daryl, the Dunder Mifflin warehouseman whom Michael (the boss) always always try [...]-

Pack it well!
I’ve had my fair share of local and international travels. Everytime I “hit the road” I am always brought to “hit the wall” when the time comes to pack. I just couldn’t fit what I need to bring in a small suitcase. Really! My solution? Have the wife do the packing for me. I tell [...] Family Life
Avoiding Debt Triggers
While summer can be the fun-filled time of the year IT CAN also be a huge debt trap. Every year, Americans splurge on summer expenses like trips, hotels, summer clothing, gears, and gadgets. Oh and all those have-nots that people just “need” to make summer extra perfect.
Every mall will hand out “special deals” to hook [...]From the Editor
