Stop and think about who is coming to the party. For example, if everyone coming likes Nascar racing or if everyone likes wrestling there would be different adult party games that you could use for entertainment. Everyone loves a good party to celebrate and enjoy each other’s company.

You Met Over the Internet ? – You’re Kidding Me

Online dating or speed dating has been around for a while now, although a lot of people are aghast at the whole idea.

I have heard it referred to as a “meat market.” And in some cases, this may be all it means to some people – because that is all they want.

Online dating is a medium through which you meet members of the opposite sex for whatever reason. And “Yes” sex is included, if you want it to be.

Isn’t amazing how things get taken out of context! If you want sex and sleaze from an online dating website, I am sure you won’t have to look hard to find it.

Why do people join online dating websites? Could they be lonely? Could they actually be looking for a meaningful relationship? What is wrong with type chatting to members of the opposite sex on an online website? You are sitting in the comfort and safety of your own home, chatting initially to strangers. Strangers are people we have not yet met?

There are perverted people everywhere – you have only got to walk down the main street of any city at night – and you see them. You choose to ignore them and keep on walking. That is how it is on online dating websites. Sure you are going to get hit on by inappropriate people, and if you do, you have the right to shut them down – you can even block them from accessing you and your profile.

Online dating websites are safe, if you keep them safe. Never divulge your phone number or address to anybody you don’t feel comfortable with.

If you arrange to meet somebody over coffee – make sure you do it in a crowded place so that if there is something about this person you don’t like, and the same goes for the other person who may not like you – you can get up from the table, excuse yourself and leave. What have you lost?

On the other hand – “What could you gain?” – maybe your future partner.

What food is on the menu tonight?

What wines do you drink with what food?

It wasn’t too long ago that that particular question was easily answered.

If your meal is based on red meat you drink a red wine. If your meal is based on white meat – you drink a white wine.

It is all to do with conditioning your palette to enhance the flavor of the food you eat.

That sounds simple enough doesn’t it? To accompany a meal consisting of steak or lamb, you choose a red wine. To accompany a meal of pork, chicken or fish, you choose a white wine. So off you go to the liquor outlet and get confronted with innumerable red wines and innumerable white wines – which red or white wine, still or sparkling? Merlot or Claret? Moselle or a Chardonnay? The choices are endless or so it would seem.

If you are just buying a bottle of wine for yourself and/or partner to drink with your meal – depending on your age and taste in wines, the choice is going to be easy.

I am sure that everybody has their own unique favorite when it comes to wine, both in red and white and sparkling and still.

If you are the adventurous type and are willing to give anything a go, you are still going to purchase a wine that is very close in character to your preferred wine of choice. Maybe you would be prepared to purchase a sparkling wine instead of a still wine for a refreshing change.

Wine and wine drinking is synonymous with special events and celebrations.

So you have a very special occasion coming up where you would like to take along some good quality wine to share with your hosts, guests or friends.

Where do you start? You know your tastes in wine and if you are a very observant guest at any special function you can associate different wines with different people – to a point!

Where do you go from here? It is mind boggling when you think of all the wines that are now available on the market, which makes your choice so much harder. Do you purchase still wine or sparkling wine? How do you go middle-of-the-road where wine is concerned when everybody has their own individual taste?

Have you ever noticed at celebratory events that involve wine and wine drinking that, after partaking in a couple of glasses of wine and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, people will drink wine that is not necessarily their chosen blend.

If this special event is associated with a meal, maybe the meal will dictate the nature of the wine you take along and will assist you with your choice of either a white wine or a red wine. A dry wine or a sweet wine? The majority of women will partake in a glass of moselle – light to medium and fruity. Men on the other hand may prefer a bolder, dry tasting red wine or a milder, somewhat fruitier middle of the road red wine like Mateus.

Naturally, you are going to purchase a wine that both you and your partner enjoy, even if the embodiment of those particular wines are poles apart in themselves. Wine drinking is an individual thing – you are not going to please everyone, so you may as well please yourself.

Top Things Not To Do In Tornadoes

With this crazy weather, there have been lots of tornadoes in many parts of the world. It is important to consider your safety in tornadoes. This piece is written with humor and is not at all recommended that you actually follow these suggestions when tornadoes are around. Having said that; I hope that you enjoy this humor piece and feel free to add your own suggestions as well in the comment section.

My heartfelt prayers go out to people that have been in tornadoes or suffered from the damage of tornadoes. I hope that this humor piece does not offend anyone since tornadoes are a serious threat and very dangerous.

Top Things Not To Do In Tornadoes: Finish Making Your Drinks or Guzzle a Six Pack

When tornadoes are around, you really won’t have time to go to the bathroom. Don’t finish making your drinks or guzzle down the last six pack in the refrigerator.

Top Things Not To Do In Tornadoes: Wait to Put Clothes in the Dryer

Ok, you know that when tornadoes are around there is going to be a lot of dirt, grime and general filth. Wait until after the tornadoes pass to put your last load of clothes on the rinse cycle and then toss in the dryer. If you stand there waiting on the rinse cycle with tornadoes around you really are just wasting your time.

Top Things Not To Do In Tornadoes: Walk the Dog

One of the worst places for you or your dog during tornadoes is out in the open. If there are tornadoes in the area, it probably won’t matter much if your dog goes potty in the house. Besides, one of the safest places in many homes is the bathroom. You and your family pooch can both be in the bathroom and if he accidently goes it is a breeze to quickly clean up.

Top Things Not To Do In Tornadoes: Get on MySpace and Message All Your MySpace Friends

When the tornadoes are out of the area, then you can get on MySpace and tell all your MySpace friends how you survived a tornado. Most likely, your computer is near a window or in a very open room. Windows are very dangerous during tornadoes because of all the glass. Just text message your MySpace friends regular emails from your cell phone while you sit safely in a closet or bathroom in your home.

Top Reasons to Hate MySpace

As many of you know, MySpace is a social network site that millions of people view daily. There are teens, older people and possibly even aliens that have pages on MySpace. It is literally one of the largest social network sites on the Internet. So much so, that other people have built clones and renamed them with fancy names to try and gather the same type of attention and web traffic.

Top Reasons to Hate MySpace: Teen Ground

MySpace is filled with way too many teens. There are teen pictures, teen feuds, teen puppy love and more. Ewwww!

Top Reasons to Hate MySpace: Aliens are Hidden

You know that with all that stuff sitting there in cyber space that the aliens somewhere have to be picking it up. And with humans having so much fun on MySpace, then you know the logical conclusion! Aliens are on MySpace are obviously hiding and cloaking themselves as humans.

Top Reasons to Hate MySpace: Don’t Pay You

There are sites similar to MySpace that pay you to put up your profile page, read and answer your social email and even to do actions to each other. MySpace doesn’t pay you a dime! Shame on them for letting you have fun without payment.

Top Reasons to Hate MySpace: Too Many Options

Have you looked at all the options on MySpace? There are so many different ways you can customize it and make your little MySpace page that people are even writing tutorials on them! If you got to read a tutorial or instruction book, I don’t want to be a part of it. It’s no fun reading directions! Just ask my husband.

Top 5 Ways to Get Rid of a Friend

There are times in your life that a relationship needs to come to an end. You are no longer interested in dating someone or perhaps having a person as a friend. But instead of just telling them up front to get lost, why not try out some of these humor ideas? After all, you probably will not hurt anyone’s feelings using these.

Top Ways to Get Rid of a Friend #1: Stink them Out
Stop using toilet paper, deodorant, soap or even water and stink out your friend or person you are dating. They will probably gag and run for cover. The family dog might not like you either!

Top Ways to Get Rid of a Friend #2: Borrow Money from them Each Time You See Them
Even if it is only a few bucks, every time that you see the friend or go dating with them, borrow money. Of course you never pay it back and this will really irritate them. They’ll either start coming around you with an empty wallet or get out of your life.

Top Ways to Get Rid of a Friend #3: Charge Them for the Time Together
If you have to drive to meet the friend or date, charge them for gas. If they come to visit you, charge them for using the bathroom, for a glass of water and even for sharing the same air space that you do. Make sure you do this after borrowing a few bucks from them.

Top Ways to Get Rid of a Friend #4: Show Them Your Poo
After you use the bathroom at their house, show them your poo. Tell them what a great job you did and how proud you are that you just had to share this with them. Kids being potty trained do it, so why not repulse a friend and do this? If you’re out eating, ask them to come in the bathroom so you can show them your poo and fret that someone might have flushed it when you came back out to tell them.

Top Ways to Get Rid of a Friend #5: Pick Your Nose and Clip Your Nails
Pick your nose in front of them. You can just casually wipe it on them if you want. And of course, clip your nails with them and let the nail clippings fly all over the place.

MySpace is Turning into a Teen Playground

I have noticed that MySpace is turning into a teen playground. The more and more that I look around on MySpace, the more teens I see than any other group of people. Perhaps, I am looking in the wrong places? I think that it is discouraging that social networking sites are turning all to teens. What happened to talking to your teen friends on the phone? What happened to writing letters by hand?

Teens spend way too much time on MySpace. They have to comment on each other. They have to put up pictures. And look at all the horror stories you read in the news about teens and MySpace. These don't even account for all the other horrible events that happen probably by the minute on MySpace.

I let my teen talk some on MySpace but there is frustration that I am constantly monitoring the page and reviewing the picts and comments. I was absolutely shocked at some of the comments and suggestions that are made by teens on MySpace. I'm not any goody hoot person. I have been exposed to a lot. But the amount of profanity and sexual suggestions and flat out disgusting things that teens are putting up on MySpace really makes me wonder about the future of our country.
