When it comes to love-making, we thought we’d seen it all.

We know people do it in showers and baths, on board tables or under them, horizontally or slightly perpendicular, and vertically flat against a brick wall or against something anchored to the ground. But in all this, the toe just didn’t figure.

Sure, we do seem to remember that guy who toasted a beauty of his time by drinking out of her slipper. But we didn’t really believe that it happened. Or if it did, we could only assume that the gallant had already had a few drinks before he came up with the idea.

But as queasy as we get thinking about using a slipper as a glass, the imagination boggles at the thought of a toe as a snack. After all, when we look at our shoes in the dark recesses of our wardrobe we know where those toes have been, and are not entirely reassured that they’re worth any attention at all, let alone the intimacy of a suck or two.

Yes, we have heard that toes, like other body appendages, are sensitive and can be as arousing as the more recognized erogenous zones. But we also know our feet. So long as we remember that the soles are like sandpaper, the nails as hard as a rhinoceros horn, and about as sweet smelling as a three or four day old fish, love-making and toes will never be an equation in our books.

We’ll nibble the ears, kiss the fingers, make a few detours down the length of the body, stopping well beyond the danger zone of the toes.

It has been said that the man who first ate an oyster must have been the bravest man on earth. The same must be said of the man or woman who first decided to try out the toes.

So if you consider yourself a hot lover, and have never tried out your partner’s toes, you’ve still a long way to go.

Halloween is just around the corner and preparations are in full swing all over the country.

Yards are being decorated with all the colors of fall, the scarecrows are coming out of the sheds and here and there we might already see huge spiders hanging. Resting in their cob webs hanging from trees in peoples front yards.

We all know what this mean. The scariest night of the year is almost here. The kids already know what they want. Pumpkins scarier than the neighbors Lanterns and costumes you would not even begin to dream of.

Wait a minute, isn’t that what Halloween night is all about? Candy, kids and costumes. It sure is, and guess what? A cool costume is a must, your kids will agree with that.

The question then is how you get away with getting them a cool costume for a reasonable price? Have you ever considered making them yourself? With some help and guidance it is not as hard as you think it is.

For kids, Halloween is all about costumes and pumpkins, even all the candy has to come second to this. Why not get a book with Halloween ideas and have your kids go thru it with you, that way they become a part of it all from the very beginning.

In other words, they will have a say in how their costumes, pumpkins and your Halloween decorations should be. Doing it yourself gives such a satisfaction.

The diamond ring you choose for your wedding should be everything that you feel your love to be ? unique, beautiful and durable. And while there are a huge variety of styles and ring settings available the core features of a truly beautiful diamond remain the same regardless of the style of diamond ring you pick to celebrate your wedding. You will hopefully wear this ring the rest of your life, so choose a style that seems timeless to you. The setting you choose is a matter of your own personal taste, but the diamond in your wedding ring should adhere to these important factors.

The characteristics of a beautiful diamond are known as the four Cs ? carat, color, clarity and cut. Regardless of the style of diamond wedding rings that you and your partner choose, these are factors that will apply.

The carat of your diamond refers to its weight ? simply put, the larger the diamond, the more valuable it becomes. While larger diamonds can be impressive, certain settings suit smaller carats better. Choose a carat that appeals most to you ? a large diamond may be valuable, but the most important factor is how valuable it is to you.

The color of a diamond also relates to its value ? the clearer the stone, the more valuable your diamond wedding ring.

The third factor is clarity ? once again, the more clear a diamond, the more valuable it becomes. Though few diamonds are perfect, the ones with less clouds or flaws are more rare, and thus more expensive to purchase.

The final factor is the diamond’s cut. The best cut will display the diamond’s brilliance to the best effect.

Your jeweller will be able to help you select a diamond that fits all these characteristics, but remember that each diamond is beautiful in its own right. Your diamond wedding rings are a symbol of your love, so choose the one that speaks to you.

Creating your online profile is a crucial step in online dating because your profile is YOU. People judge about you based on what is included in your profile and if your profile is not written properly, people will not be attracted to you, thus significantly limiting your choice of possible partners.

In a way, the preparation of your profile is similar to the preparation for a job interview. When you prepare for a job interview, you are usually thinking in terms of having the job not for a couple of months only, but for years. The same applies to a relationship ~ when you start a new relationship, you hope it will last for years.

Sometimes people do not pay enough attention to preparing and fine-tuning their profile. This attitude is common: “I am what I am, and I am not going to change just to make you like me!” Well, this is a wrong concept about your profile because your profile simply describes your best qualities and does not require changes in you personality or appearance. What is more ~ do not lie in your profile, because it will hardly do you a favor.

Pictures usually are included in the profile. But if you are concerned about your privacy, you may choose to skip the picture in the profile and send it later instead. This way your picture will not be visible for the whole world, but the people you have already established a contact with will have it.

Since you are not the first who is facing the challenge of writing a profile, you may wonder if there are any typical mistakes which people commonly make. Indeed there are! And knowing about them in advance will make it easy for you to avoid them.

One of the typical mistakes in writing a profile is that one is too modest. Modesty is nice and you are not supposed to be a braggart (which is also a common mistake in writing a profile) but it is you and nobody else who must say the facts about you.

Another typical mistake is the “hackneyed pitfall” - using clich~s in your profile. Since everybody is unique, even if your profile is not unique in the whole world, it must in any case be distinctive. Your profile should be original and in any case describe something you definitely have - your endearing qualities.

Even if one is not a bore in real life, his or her profile could be boring. This is also a common mistake and usually comes from indulging in too much detail, which makes the profile more difficult to read. Vagueness is also a pitfall you should try to avoid.

When I was a little girl, I remember my dad taking us for drives at night throughout our neighborhood to see the houses decorated for Christmas. There were some that had a simple wreath on the front door and some that looked like Santa’s Workshop on the front lawn.

I was always amazed at the beautiful lights, glistening snow, and holiday music. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I realized those beautiful displays took a lot more organizing, planning and money than I thought.

Whether you live in a cold or warm climate, you don’t have to break the bank in order to create a cozy and beautiful outdoor holiday display for your home. Here’s how.

Create a plan. You need to decide how much money you can comfortably spend. Many people wind up over-spending during the holidays, use credit cards and find they take on more debt than they should. August or September is a good time to start planning and it won’t take long. Many retail stores are beginning to announce pre-Christmas sales and this is the time to find bargains.

If you live in a closed community, check for rules and restrictions. This will save you any headaches later on if there are certain things not permitted.

Here are some things to think about when creating your plan.

To Theme or Not to Theme: Once you have determined your spending limit, next is to decide how creative to get. Do you want to create a theme on your front lawn such as Disney or Santa’s workshop or would you rather stay traditional with just some lights and perhaps just a reindeer.

Lights - How many front windows do you have and do you want lights on all of them? If you live in a 2-story house, don’t forget the second floor. Measure your windows, so you know how many strings or yardage of lights you will need. Equally important is to check for an outside electrical receptacle where you will be plugging them in.

Window candles - These are the electric or battery-operated lights that look like a glowing stick candle sitting in the window and create a nice, cozy effect. If you choose electric, make sure you have enough receptacles by each window to plug them in. If you choose battery-operated, you will need to have extra batteries on hand.

Front Door - Decorating your front door can be as elaborate as a gift box or as simple as hanging either a real or artificial wreath.

Lawn Ornaments - These can be anything from simple signs that say, “Santa, Stop Here” or “North Pole” to an entire village of animated characters re-creating Santa’s Workshop.

Roof - I am reminded of an episode from the TV show “Home Improvement”, where Tim literally fell through his roof when trying to re-create Santa’s sleigh and reindeer on his roof. Safety is always the first consideration. If you want to put holiday displays on your roof, you may be better off hiring a professional.

Once you have gone through this list and created your plan, start scouting the newspapers for sales at retail stores. Home improvement stores or discount stores will usually have an entire department established just for outdoor holiday decorations.

If you live in a cold-weather climate, putting up the lights and roof ornaments is best done before the snow and chilling temperatures arrive.

Plan early to stay within budget and you will have a great time decorating the outside of your home for the holidays.

An increasing popular choice for engagement and wedding rings is platinum. One of the rarest of the precious metals, it is strong and sturdy, with a subtle style that is the perfect accompaniment to any precious stone. It is the unique combination of simplicity and luster that have made the choice of a diamond engagement ring in platinum increasingly popular, as its wonderful sheen sets off the cut and brilliance of a diamond beautifully.

The popularity of diamond engagement rings in platinum is also due to that material’s eminent practicality. Platinum is extremely hardwearing and resistant to the scratches and other damage that gold rings are often prone to. Platinum doesn’t tarnish, and for those with sensitive skin, it is also hypoallergenic, making it comfortable to wear.

The sturdiness and durability of platinum make it a popular choice for men’s rings, but its simple understated beauty lends itself to diamond engagement rings also. Platinum is the perfect choice for those who prefer the look of white gold to yellow, and its durable nature makes it the perfect compliment to the enduring beauty of a diamond.

A diamond engagement ring in platinum combines beauty and durability in a unique package. The rarity of platinum compliments perfectly the uniqueness of each diamond, ensuring that a platinum diamond engagement ring will be a unique symbol as peerless as your love.

As we sit glued to the television set listening to all the gory details of yet another terrorist attack leaves us all in a state of shock. We all feel sad. We all feel that enough is enough. We all listen to how much the death toll is rising into the hundreds. We all wait in anticipation to hear of any survivors, then after a few days. We all forget

I recall years ago when the seat belt was introduced and how it was drummed into us each and every day, clunk click every trip. The nation was brainwashed into abiding by the new law imposed that was to save so many lives. Well I say make a stand and bring back brainwashing in the form of terrorist awareness, it may cause a lot of paranoia amongst a great many but it may also save a lot of misery suffering pain and most importantly lives.

Terrorists are like actors where they are well rehearsed in their role to kill. Drama classes pay off for terrorists in their preparation for slaughter.

A Massacre murderer is well trained to keep his or her composure and not to look suspicious. The question is how we can help the system in the fight against terrorism.

What signs do we have to look for to sniff out a walking time bomb, especially when these murderers have re enacted the role over and over again in portraying the look of innocence?

I am not sure if there are any signs to look out for where a professional is concerned, but we can help by being more observant

This can be done by being more aware of how serious terrorism really is, the next time you go shopping or take the tube to work or when taking the kiddies to school, watch what the person next to you is doing

If traveling on a bus even high in the sky make a little note of what your fellow passenger is wearing. Make an image diary in your head of what they look like, note little tell tale signs as in i.e. tattoos scars jewelry whatever. Take in enough information on that person so that should any circumstances arise on that day where police are involved and are looking for information, you may hold the key to conviction.

But remember not all suspicious looking characters are guilty and there are times you may well get paranoid by the person next to you. Do not panic keep calm then go and speak with someone if you feel there is need for concern.

I know this approach can cause paranoia among a lot of people but it also may save lives. CCTV can not do all the work alone

For instance, a well placed compliment can put her in a good frame of mind for accepting you. The best compliment is on something she would have put a lot of time and effort into. Something most guys would not even notice. Making this sort of compliment will set you apart from the pack. And, put you in her good graces. For example, say she has added highlights to her hair. Tell her how good it makes her look. You will want to do this calmly and with a playful attitude, be sure not to seem to needy or desperate. Make sure to say it like you mean it. If you don’t sound sincere, the compliment will be rendered useless and she will consider it false.

With pretty women you should try to avoid compliments on their looks. While I’m sure she may appreciate it, you can be sure every loser trying to get her attention is telling her the same thing. You on the other hand want to stand out. You want to be thought of as being different standing away from the pack. So when speaking with a pretty women be witty and funny. Make her laugh, then as she’s laughing tell her how beautiful her smile is. Look her right in the eyes and say “My you have such a beautiful smile!” Do not dwell on her smile or the compliment. Move on talking about something else. But, remember, only attempt this compliment after you’ve been witty and funny and you’ve made her smile. Also, know a bit about women’s fashion. Is she wearing something that’s ultra chic, is her jewelry really different. Find something about her that no other guy is going to notice.

Don’t compliment her every single time you see her, because you have nothing to say is not a time for a compliment. To provide the most power, compliments must be used sparingly and delivered sincerely.

Best of Luck! Marie Clare.

Kids today need Healthy Foods and Snacks more than ever. Poor diet, junk foods, lack of physical and mental activity, cause lazy , over weight children with poor concentration/social skills as well as poor learning skills.

Our website : www.preschoollearningonline.com provides an abundance of Healthy snack ideas, Fun activities, Art ideas, Craft Ideas, science experiments, games, coloring pages and more for Parents, single parents, and child care providers or students of this field.

Here are a Few Ideas for Your Kids:

HEALTHY SNACK IDEAS FOR KIDS:

Introducing healthy eating habits to your kids is very important. Especially these days where take-out and drive throughs are very popular. Eating healthy foods and snacks is a very important factor in all children’s physical and mental development. Here are some ideas for fresh, tasty, healthy snacks in mid-afternoon and other times of the day.

Things you will need:

• knife
• napkins
• celery
• cream cheese or peanut butter (or both)
• crackers
• olive slices
• raisins

Have chopped celery sticks on the table. Ask the children if they would like their celery filled with either cream cheese or peanut butter. If they don’t want any filling, don’t force it. Ask if they would like to decorate their cream cheese with olive slices or peanut butter with raisins.

Do the same as above with crackers. Great choices for crackers are Ritz, Breton, and/or Graham Crackers. Makes a Great, Healthy and Fun Snack for kids.

Have fresh juice, milk or water available to drink.

Circle Idea For Kids Using Balloons:

This Circle Idea should be implemented with children at least 3 years of age and up. Any children who are still in the stage of exploring sensory oraly need to be supervised with great caution. Balloons are serious choking hazards so please use caution when implementing the activities mentioned in this Circle Idea. It is a good idea to go over the safety issues with children so they understand the risks as well.

Opening Song: (sung to - Farmer in the Dell)

Hello to everyone, ( wave to children)

and how are you today?

We come to our circle time,

to laugh and sing and play.

And when you’re up you’re up, (hold hands in the air)

and when your down your down, ( place hands on floor)

and when your only half way up, (hold hands about chest level)

your neither up nor down. (throw your hands up and down quickly with words)

So roll your hands so slowly, (make fists with hands and roll about chest level like your punching a bag)

and roll your hands so fast, ( same action as above except fast)

give your hands a clap clap clap and fold them in your lap tap tap. (follow directions in this line)

Talk to the children about balloons and balloon safety. Ask open ended questions such as “Where have you seen balloons before?” “What different shapes and colours of balloons can you remember?” “Why or where do we use balloons?”

Have a bag of different shaped balloons with you. Blow up a balloon and talk about the shape and color of it. Ask, “What do you think will happen if I let it go?” ( let balloon go).

Blow up a different balloon and talk about the shape and colour of it. Ask “What do you think will happen if I pull the bottom blow whole tight and slowly let the air out?” (Make high pitch noise with balloon).

Then blow up a third balloon and talk about the shape and colour. Ask, “What do you think will happen if I hold the balloon and let the air come out by itself without touching the blow whole?” (Let the air out so it makes a low airy sound).

Have children stand up and sing The Balloon Song: (tune- Here We Go ‘Round The MulBerry Bush)

I’m a balloon can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you see, I’m a balloon can’t you see so please do not pop me. (float/dance around like balloons)

I can fly and dance around, dance around, dance around, I can fly and dance around (stop dancing and say) “OH NO! YOU POPPED ME!”

Have the children pretend the air is going out of them and fly around like the balloons at circle time that lost their air.

Now have all the children sit down in a circle again and hold hands.

Then sing the “End of CircleSong” (tune-Skip to my Lou)

Shake hands with friends ’cause it’s time to go, Shake hands with friends ’cause it’s time to go, Shake hands with friends ’cause it’s time to go…..We’ll see you again next time.
