What Every Woman Should Have & Know

[Mouse]

Love to take credit for this, but these words of wisdom were sent to me by a female friend

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE:

1. One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to. And one who reminds you
of how far you've come.

2. Enough money within your control to move out and rent a place on your
own, even if you never want or need to.

3. Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to
see you in an hour.

4. A purse, a suitcase and an umbrella you're not ashamed to be seen
carrying.

5. A youth you're content to move beyond.

6. A past juicy enough that you're looking forward to re-telling it in your
old age.

7. The realization that you are actually going to have an old age and some
money set aside to help fund it.

8. A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black lace bra.

9. One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry.

10. A good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your
family.

11. Eight matching plates, wineglasses with stems and a recipe for a meal
that will make your guests feel honored.

12. A resume that is not even the slightest bit padded.

13. A feeling of control over your destiny.

14. A skin care regime, an exercise routine and a plan for dealing with
those few other facets of life that don't get better after 30.

15. A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying relationship and all
those other facets of life that do get better.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW:

1. How to fall in love without losing yourself.

2. How you feel about having kids.

3. How to quit a job, break up with a man and confront a friend without
ruining the friendship.

4. When to try harder and when to walk away.

5. How to kiss a man in a way that communicates your feelings without saying
a word.

7. How to ask for what you want in a way that makes it most likely you'll
get it.

8. That you can't change the length of your calves, the width of your hips
or the nature of your parents.

9. That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it's over.

10. What you would and wouldn't do for love or more.

11. How to live alone, even if you don't like it.

12. Who you can trust, who you can't, and why you shouldn't take it
personally.

13. Where to go -- be it your best friend's kitchen table or a charming inn
hidden in the woods- when your soul needs soothing.

14. What you can and can't accomplish in a day, a month and a year.

15. Why they say life begins at 30.

Positive things about men and women!

Are you tired of the battle between the sexes? Men and women are different. There's no question about it. But instead of focusing on the negative qualities of men and women, why not celebrate the positive qualities?

Let's start with the Ladies:

Women are compassionate, and loving, and caring.
Women cry when they are happy.
Women are always doing little things to show they care.
They will stop at nothing to get what they think is best for their children
(best school, best prom dress, best dentist)
Women have the ability to keep smiling when they are so tired they can hardly stand up.
They know how to turn a simple meal into an occasion.
Women know how to get the most for their money
They know how to comfort a sick friend.
Women bring joy and laughter to the world.
They know how to entertain children for hours on end!
They are honest and loyal.
Women have a will of iron under that soft exterior.
They will go the extra mile to help a friend in need.
Women are easily brought to tears by injustice.
They know how to make a man feel like a king.
Women make the world a much happier place to live.

Now, for the Men:

Men are good at moving heavy things and killing spiders.


No, I don't believe that's all men are good for.. but it's funny anyway!

understand everything,
then I regain consciousness.

Sorry Moni,

I can't do that. Once the wagons are circled you NEVER break ranks!

It's all for the common good.
