TEN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN
We all know that women are just different from men. But exactly how different are they?
Here are some specific differences between men and women ...

1. There are many advantages of being a woman. The most important difference might be that they live about five years longer on average.

2. A big advantage of being a man is that you earn more. According to some estimates, full-time female employees earn 17% less than men. Over a lifetime, this works out to more than $500,0000 dollars.

3. According to a "retail psychologist," men and women who go shopping together as a couple can usually do so for 72 minutes before they start to fight. The man will have had enough by then -- but
4, Women talk almost three times as much as men. Women speak an average of 20,000 words each day -- and males just 7,000. "Women have an eight-lane superhighway for processing emotion," explained Dr. Luann Brizendine, the author of the study, "while men have a small country road."

5. 84% of women say that, when it comes to buying products to help them stay young, money is no object. The average woman spends $1,000 each year on gyms, creams, and treatments.

6. On average, women start to worry about wrinkles, gray hair, and crow's feet at the age of 28.

7. Seven percent of guys have lied about the size of their package in order to tempt someone to sleep with them. Guys are three times more likely than women to lie about their "vital statistics," with just 2% of females lying about their bra size.

8. Men are more likely to remember their first car than who they first kissed. Forty percent of guys surveyed remembered the license plate of their first vehicle -- and 25% had even given it a name.

9. Men are more likely to believe in love at first sight than women. The average man claims to have fallen in love 2.9 times -- and the average woman just 2.2 times.

10. Both men and women lie about how many people they've slept with. As you would guess, women underestimate the number and men pad the numbers. On average, Americans have about 9 sex partners in their lives. Men claim that they've gone to bed with 13 women -- and women claim only 7.


Watch this video and "laugh your abs off!!" That's right, Laughing you abs of is a new exercise craze. I don't know about my abs but I was laughing my posterior off!







Kerry Beard and her Laugh Away team are quite serious about the health benefits of laughing. They have created a series of exercise DVDs based on the benefits of laughter. Their goal is to provide the opposite experience of a grunting, unhappy exerciser slogging away the gym and to replace it with a laughter-filled daily workout regimen that gives both a mental and physical boost.

TUESDAY

Anyone thinking of swiping an Obama/Biden '08 sign from a front lawn of this Portland, Oregon home might want to consider this: The world may be watching.

ENTERTINMENT GOSSIPY STUFF:

Miley Cyrus is all over the news with reports she's going "diva" on the set of Hanna Montana.

Yesterday. Miley Cyrus was shooting down reports on TMZ.Com that she has bragged that she will get fired from her hit Disney Channel series, "Hannah Montana."
Miley tells People Magazine she is fully committed to the show!

Today there are rumors that her and co-star, Emily Osment who plays Hannah's BFFs on the show are fueding. The Chicago Sun-Times, quoting a produce from the Hannah Montana show, "It's become increasingly clear Miley has become jealous of Emily's rising profile and popularity."

Oh the drama!

Weekend observation-

I did nothing this weekend!

Politics...

I am tired of the political commercial in which the candidates are throwing insults at their opponent. I don't really care how many special interest people are working on the candidates campaign, how many cars they own or what board they sat on with what crook!

Please, just tell me what you agenda is and how you're going to implement said plan. Don't just give me a laundry list of promises, i want them to tell me how there promises will work!


Alright, this lady not all that bright, guess she's never seen a semi being pulled by a tow truck!

Reminds me of the certain "lite haired" women driver who pulled up next to a salt truck and told the driver that he was losing his load. (Watch this video and the joke might make more since.)

Since were in the middle of this financial crisis, here are some some money fact that will make you smile! Click on the link to Read the entire list, these are my favorite.

65% of Americans would live on a deserted island all by themselves for an entire year for $1,000,000.

92% of us would rather be rich than find the love of our lives.
Women have very fixed ideas on how much they are willing to spend on a bra. 38.3% of women won’t spend $30 for a bra. 28.4% won’t spend $50. 10% would pay as much as $75. And, only 3.5% would shell out $100. But, you know what? Almost 20% of women say they would pay almost anything for a bra. This is because they consider (and I guess so do a few men) that the contents of what those bras are encasing is of extremely high-value.

This one’s going to blow your mind: 83% of Americans still pay with checks instead of credit cards!

That reminds me, did you hear about the women who helped make her husband a millionaire? He was a billionaire before they were married!

StudyLogic interviewed 1,500 people on behalf of Sheraton Hotels & Resorts as part of its first Global Out-of-Office Day (G.O.O.D.), which was held Monday.

the concept is that professionals no longer need to be at the office to be highly productive. The question is, is that necessarily a good thing? So Sheraton asked StudyLogic to produce a work/life balance study and here are the results;

WEEKEND OBSERVATIONS:

If you've ever been to Cleveland Browns stadium, the Rock hall, science center you've seen the giant wind turbine that sits in front of the science center. during the big windstorm yesterday, it was shut down. I would think that would be a prime time to store up electricity but I guess high winds are to dangerous for "wind turbines!"

Here's one article about the use of wind as our eclectic source. according to this article even with these turbines you will still need a power plant as a back up and we will have to pay for both!

"If MTV makes a mess in the forest and no one is around to see it, is it really a mess?"


In case you missed it, Tina Fey was on SNL impersonating Alaska Governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate, sarah Palin.

A dog specially trained to call 911 when his owner suffers seizures grabbed the phone and whimpered for help when the dispatcher answered.

The German Sheppard named Buddy is owned by Joe Stalnaker, whom due to a military accident is prone to seizures.

Want to lose weight? Shed your clothes and eat a naked lunch!

STUFF I FOUND INTERESTING:

MICHAEL PHELPS MANIA CONTINUES...NOW IN VEGAS!





Phelps was at the VMA's, he will host SNL and if you check out the attached link you will see that he has every women throwing themselves at him...LUCKY DUDE!







Did you know there was a thing called the McDonalds war theory? I didn't till today!

No country with a McDonald's outlet, the theory contends, has ever gone to war with another.

Thomas Friedman, invented the theory in 1996, when said people in McDonald's countries "don't like to fight wars. They like to wait in line for burgers."

So, McDonald's does control the world!!

Welcome to Monday!

It's MONDAY!

WEEKEND OBSERVATIONS:

I'm glad the football season has started...I seem to nap the best during football games, especially the way the Browns played yesterday.

Was it just me or was it nice to have a cooler, rainy weekend? TO me it was a relaxing change.

I'm tired of seeing Lebron James wearing a YANKEE's hat! Not only was he wearing a Yankee's hat at Cleveland Browns stadium he was also wearing a Coyboy's shirts and before the start of the Browns V. Cowboys games, he spent his time with the Cowboys!

Lebron is so self centered and non-caring about the fans of Cleveland. YUCK!!

YOUR MUSICAL TASTE DEFINES YOUR PERSONALITY.

jazz and classical music fans are creative with good self-esteem.

Country and western fans were found to be hardworking and shy; rap fans are outgoing.

Those who like soul music can take heart as the research concluded they are creative, outgoing, gentle, at ease with themselves and have a high self-esteem.

VMA's-

Didn't match the hype.

The host, Russel Brand was a dofus!

He and Jordin sparks got into a verbal tiff over "promise rings." Brand was making comments about the Jonas Brother wearing promise rings and Jordan Sparks took exception to the comments. Before introducing T.I, Sparks said, "It's not a bad thing to wear a promise ring."

I know I was out of my element when during the pre-party one of the female host, talking about another females dress said she has a "Dress Crush!" YUCK!

What body part in mention most in songs? The EYE's have it!

The eyes are most frequently mentioned body part with the exceptions of hip hop, which places a firm emphasis on the posterior.

23.64 percent of hip hop songs refer to the behind, while 11.83 percent of rock songs talk about eyes.

I like both genre's of music there for I have my eye's on the posterior!

While talking with friends about a pesky mouse that keeps escaping the traps, one spoke up and said to use VODKA to catch a mouse. Have you ever hear of such a thing?

She said the mouse will mistake it for water, drink some then get drunk and disoriented. (huh)

She say it works on Gerbils...

There are all kinds of lines here about getting a mouse drunk...

I picked a girl to be VP. NOt bad, clever check it out yourself.

See more funny videos at Funny or Die

VMA's are Sunday on MTV. Bitney Spears will open the show, Kanye West who once swore off anything that has to do with the VMA's, will close the show.
Expect performances from Jonas Brothers, Kid Rock and for the first time since having her baby Christina Aguliera will take the stage.

Celebs who appear on the VMA's will receive a $15,000 gift bag which will include glittering jewelry, one-of-a-kind fashions, high-tech gizmos, all-inclusive vacation packages and more cosmetic products than anyone would use in two lifetime.

The difference between us and them...we'd be happy with a $50.00 gas card and a t-shirt!

JUST GIVE ME SOME PEACE AND QUITE!

The average person only gets 63 minutes of peace and quiet a day, a new study claims

Television, radio, the Internet, and telephones intrude so much on our day that the average person has just over an hour free from "media noise".

One in three adults do not even have an hour of rest while at home and more than one-in-five (22 per cent) have 30 minutes or less, according to findings from media researchers M-Lab.

Married men, divide that 63-min by 10 and subtract 6.

Really, we spend 63-min a day in the bathroom? It's the only place I find peace and quite

TELEVISIONS MOST FAMOUS LINES.

This year's 60th Annual Emmy Awards broadcast on Sept. 21 will feature "TV's most famous lines."

Familiar faces like William Shatner and Ricky Gervais are scheduled to deliver the classic verbiage, be it from Happy Days ("Sit on it!"), The Waltons ("Good night, John Boy") or Star Trek ("Live long, and prosper").

Here are the ones I can remember. Post a comment and help me add to the list.

AYY-The Fonz on "Happy Days"

Nanu-Nanu- Mork "Mork and Mindy"

Newman- Jerry Seinfield.

WEDNESDAY ALREADY!

Alabama "FAT TAX"

Beginning in 2010, Alabama, which has the second highest obesity rate in the country, will start charging all of its employees an extra $25 per month for health insurance. (Currently, single workers pay nothing; family plans cost $180 a month.)
But there's a way to avoid the fee: Get a check-up at an in-office "wellness center," where nurses will check for diabetes and hypertension and measure blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose levels and Body Mass Index (BMI).

According to one Alabama state official, obese people cost $1,748 more in health care per year on average than their skinnier counterparts.

Here are some other ideas...

Sick Days:We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Personal Days:Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year.They are called Saturdays & Sundays.

Lunch Break:* Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy.* Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get balanced meal to maintain their average figure.* Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.


WHO ARE THE BIGGEST TELEVISION NERDS?

Ralph "Mouth" and Potsie from Happy Days.

There is an Internet rumor that Michael Jackson and former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson have been hooking up in Malibu.

"Say it aint so!"

There is already a website dedicated to VP candidate Sarah Palin being well a VP-ILF!

Is summer over?

WEEKEND OBSERVATION:

I hear a lot about childhood obesity... maybe its because we adults have a little weight issues ourselves.

I have no clue how to handle myself around women! (and I'm man enough to admit that.)

MINUTIA...

wonder why it's so hard to swat a fly? (It's a slow day unless you want politics and sports.)

According to US researchers, at the mere hint of a threat, the fly adjust their preflight stance to flee in the opposite direction, ensuring a clean getaway.
These movements are made very rapidly, within about 200 milliseconds,

Here's how it works. In response to a threat from the front, the fly moves its middle legs forward, leans back and raises its back legs for a backward takeoff. If the threat is from the side, the fly leans the other way before takeoff.

Now we can all sleep better!

Jesus on a moth...(again, slow day.)

How true is this?? Or as my son would say, "true that."
