WHAT OPRAH WINFREY HAD TO SAY ABOUT MEN

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.

If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.

Stop making excuses for a man and his behaviour.

Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.

Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.

Slower is better.

Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.

If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't 'be friends'. A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.

Don't settle.

If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is

Don't stay because you think 'it will get better'

You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.

The only person you can control in a relationship is you.

Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women.

He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?

Always have your own set of friends separate from his.

Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.

Never let a man know everything.* He will use it against you later.

You cannot change a man's behaviour.* Change comes from within.

Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...

Even if he has more education or in a better job.

Do not make him into a quasi-god.

He is a man, nothing more nothing less.

Never let a man define who you are.

Never borrow someone else's man.

A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.

All men are NOT dogs.

You should not be the one doing all the bending...

Compromise is two way street.

You need time to heal between relationships...

There is nothing cute about baggage...

Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship

You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...

A relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...

Look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.

Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.

Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted

Never move into his mother's house. Never co-sign for a man.

Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.*

Keep him in your radar but get to know others.

Scared of being alone is what makes a lot of women stay in relationships that are abusive or hurtful: Dr. Phil

You should know that:

You're the best thing that could ever happen to anyone and if a man mistreats you, he'll miss out on a good thing. If he was attracted to you in the 1st place, just know that he's not the only one.

They're all watching you, so you have a lot of choices.

Make the right one.

Ladies take care of your own hearts....

Share this with other women and men (just so they know)...

You'll make someone smile, another rethink her choices, and another woman prepare.

Learn the 9 Words Women Use

2009-04-08T14:40:33.000-00:00

9 WORDS WOMEN USE

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' ..... that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a "women's way" of saying f--- you!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Are there any other words that should be added???

Is Dora the Explorer's Tween Makeover Too Grown Up?

2009-03-09T15:51:43.000-00:00

The world's most famous Latina pre-schooler is about to unveil a whole new look, and many moms are not thrilled about it.

Dora the Explorer creator Nickelodeon and Barbie-maker Mattel recently announced plans to launch Dora Explorer Girls, a tween-friendly line of Dora dolls that will appeal to girls ages five and up. Though the new dolls won't be revealed until September, Nickelodeon teased the public with this silhouette image of the new Dora, who looks much daintier than her younger self and is sporting long locks and what appears to be a miniskirt.

Needless to say, parents are already speaking out against the makeover. CNN's Carol Costello reports that worried moms have petitioned Nickelodeon to change their plans, expressing concerns that the new Dora will be too "sexualized" and "boy-crazy" like Barbie and Bratz dolls. But Leigh Anne Brodsky, Nickelodeon's head of Product Development, is trying to assuade those fears: "The reason for this doll line is to offer an alternative to moms who wants their girls to stay little girls a little longer."

Costello, who has seen the new Dora doll with her own eyes, shared her impression with viewers: "I would not say she's sexy or sexualized, but she is attractive. She's a cute doll, but she's not wearing like a little miniskirt or anything like that. And her hair is not as flowing as it was in that silhouette. She's wearing a tunic with leggings and platform heels."

What's your first impression of Dora's new look?

Watch the full CNN clip below and tell us what you think.

Celeb Fashion Trends & Statements

Generation Y attitudes, behavior, and skills are acquired through socialization, such as family, peers, school, and the mass media . Media choices including television, (which has been considered the modern babysitter), the internet, and magazines have form into a great diversity of lifestyle choices for this generation

As to the details that define the growth of the 21^st century

BAD GRAMMER

Before the internet or computers, people actually had to write things out, type it on a typewritter. Now there’s a new futuristic language that has transformed our communication- its like a decoding a message!

Not AcceptableSpelling “your” as “ur” and “to” as “2″ .

Would the grammar and rules of spelling disappear in the coming years?

GOOGLE IT

There are those born in the 1980s that can not remember when was the last time they went to the library or even opened an encyclopedia. Thanks to Google.com a popular search engine that has answered many of our concerns, research, and questions.

Would there be a need for libraries?

TEXTING

Texting has become the newest and fastest tool to communication without having to say much. It had made communication too easy and is ruining interpersonal skills. It’s like talking in bullet points.

Keeping a conversation on the phone in the 21st century is like pulling teeth. Impersonal flirting via text and Facebook wall posts has made it easier for people to interact other than pass on the notes in class or having secret admirers.

Can we say "TEXTUALLY ACTIVE SOCIETY"?

BLACKBERRY

Which supports push e-mail, mobile telephone, text messaging, internet faxing, web browsing and other wireless information services as well as a multi-touch interface - including PDA applications (address book, calendar, to-do lists, etc.) as well as telephone capabilities on newer models, the BlackBerry is primarily known for its ability to send and receive e-mail wherever it can access a wireless network of certain cellular phone carriers. Best known for "crackberry"- addiction.

Are they an addiction?

FACEBOOK

Users can join free-access social networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with other people. People can also add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves.

Look me up in Facebook! Tag me!

I-Phone

An internet-connected multimedia smart phone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. with a flush multi-touch screen and a minimal hardware interface. The device does not have a physical keyboard, so a virtual keyboard is rendered on the touch screen instead. The I -Phone functions as a camera phone (including text messaging and visual voicemail), a portable media player (equivalent to an iPod), and Internet client (with email, web browsing, and local Wi-Fi connectivity).

YouTube

A video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips- including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content. Video blogging and short original videos have become a new trend. Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals, although media corporations including CBS and the BBC and other organizations offer some of their material via the site.

Didn't see it? Just Youtube it!

The Bachelor: After the Final Rose

2009-03-03T14:03:35.000-00:00

After the Final Rose Recap

For the first time the reality ‘Hook Up’ TV show tries to make things more interesting by introducing this season of "The Bachelor" with a modern twist.

The ‘Bachelor’ Jason Mesnick is a single dad.

After meeting 25 amazing women on the show; all in which have the potential to be a happy wife and mom. Jason broke it down to two women.

Melissa and Molly (M &M)

Keep in mind that Jason Mesnick, whose heart was broken by DeAnna Pappas at the end of "The Bachelorette 4”. Made an interesting turn, his decision of controversy made the show more emotionally draining by breaking two hearts.

Earlier in the show, he rejected Molly. Decided to proposal to Melissa then dumps her on national television- wanting to run back to Molly.

The one he let go before.

So now Melissa is upset and gives him a piece of her mind. Love it!

GO MELISSA…and Molly comes back into the spotlight like nothing happened and is happily smooching with Jason.

Bye- Bye Melissa…Molly be prepared…

My advice: Wish for the best, Prepare for the worst.

To me this “Bachelor” has some issues to resolve.

Recap:

· He can’t decide what he wants.

· Apparently Melissa is prefect, but he is just not that into her.

· He mentioned that things are different, starts having doubts, and it shows that he can’t fight to save what he has with Melissa.

· Why didn’t he just let her go…instead of hurting her in the future. He should know how that feels he was dumped last season

It doesn’t seem to make sense.

Unless then of course, these are things reality TV shows do to increase ratings.

More issues, more drama, more viewers.
