Sneezes & Orgasms

Statistics show fewer people are getting colds due to taking preventative measures and being mindful of their health. 

However, some folks are complaining their allergies have worsened.

Did you know...

 a change in temperature can make you sneeze?

But then again, sometimes we seem to sneeze for no reason.

DID YOU KNOW...

 Sneezes, along with orgasms, are the only physiological responses that cannot be voluntarily stopped once they have started.

SEX AND COFFEE

 

A new study from The Netherlands suggests that having sex and drinking coffee can temporarily raise your risks of stroke or brain aneurysm. Why? Aneurysms are the result of the wall of an artery weakening, bulging, and, worst case- bursting. Seems a raise in blood pressure is the root cause. The advice: if you’ve had an aneurysm, avoid caffeine, and keep your sex low key.

BUT……

Sex is good for your heart, cutting your risk of heart attack and stroke in half when performed three times a week. Your also body burns off approximately 200 calories per “work out” thus helping with weight issues.

Coffee is good for your heart and head, if it’s black and drank in moderation that is. Only 2 calories per serving is a great way to get a jolt of energy in the morning. It’s also rich in antioxidants, and improves focus and concentration.

SO THE LESSON HERE IS….

DON’T DRINK COFFEE AND HAVE SEX.

#FlirtyFriday - Tantalizing Mouth

 

The mouth is perhaps the sexiest part of the body.  It is always visible but constantly changing.  Please enjoy these quotes I found for this week's Flirty Friday.

Smile... it's the second best thing to do with your lips.- Anonymous

Kissing is like drinking salted water: you drink and your thirst increases.- Chinese Proverb

Kissing is a means of getting two people so close together that they can't see anything wrong with each other. -Rene Yasenek

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves. - Albert Einstein

To me, there is no greater act of courage than being the one who kisses first.- Janeane Garofalo

Stolen kisses are always sweetest. - Leigh Hunt

In love, there is always one who kisses and one who offers the cheek. - French Proverb

I hope your day is as radiant as your smile.

I get the best feeling in the world when you say "Hi" or smile at me, because I know that even for a second that I've crossed your mind.

Did the sun just come out or did you just smile at me?

A Christmas Weekend Picnic

 Everyone is a kid at Christmastime, and I love when new holiday music comes out for the season that makes me have a little fun. Teens in the ‘80’s demanded our favorite bands put a modern spin on Holiday Classics. Over the years, we’ve enjoyed covers and originals from AC/DC, Twisted Sister, Type O Negative and Korn just to name a few. I’m excited since Covid, so many bands are really letting their creativity flow and Holiday tunes are included.

Being from Michigan, I love to promote my Mid-Western peeps and would like to spotlight a band from Minneapolis, MN. Friends who have caught them on the bar scene in the cities tell me they put on a hellava show and say the band is going places. Weekend Picnic released A Christmas Weekend Picnic EP, a must listen!

The EP opens with traditional Deck the Halls with jingle bells, a pause then BAM! Welcome to a heavier version of the classic holiday tune and more. Kinda like the Kool-Aid guy busting through a wall. Yeah, baby!

Weekend Picnic’s own tune, Wish List, is something of an ode to those who were kids in the 90’s and were creating their wish lists. If you were making your list then, you’ll recognize a lot of the lyrics. Listening to the tune will make you nostalgic for being a kid. Who says during the season, you can’t be a kid? Come on head bangers, admit there is always a kid inside of you and often comes out at concerts.

Thank God, they did a better version of “All I Want for Christmas”. I want to hijack every retail store and slip this one and Frosty into their Holiday Playlist. I’ll spend more time in shops. The darker sound in the reimagined Frosty the Snowman is F’ing awesome. I love the light-hearted tempo and vocals with sprinkling of the growls with a hint of dark guitar. Fun stuff!

Wrapping up with “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” shows a softer side of the band. Don’t let the word “soft” fool anyone. While classical music is played the focus is on the rich vocals of Ehren Thomas. While the musicians are the soft glow of a fire, Thomas’ voice will wrap around you like a blanket on a cold winter’s night. This tune is a perfect romantic moment!

Personally, I think this release is not only fun but also shows the diversity of the band. So grab your honey, a few holiday beverages and decorate the tree tonight. Feel like a kid again and end the evening with romance.

The EP is an example of the band's talent and humor. The videos that accompany some of the tunes are a hoot.  Watch on YouTube

Celebrating Love With Metallica

Romance doesn't need to be a dinner by candlelight or a romp in front of the fireplace. Romance can be loud and obnoxious. 

Metallica performed recently on Ford Field here in Michigan. Several couples purchased tickets as their anniversary gift to each other. It didn't matter they were surrounds by a kazillion people, they only had eyes for each other and the musicians on stage of course. 

Did you know the traditional gift for the 1st Anniversary is PAPER? Therefore concert tickets make a perfect gift (even if they are all digital now days.) Concert tickets make for a romantic stocking stuffer too.

#Thursday13 - Older Women Are Awesome

He was an amazing radio and television writer who was best known for his weekly broadcast "A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney", a part of the CBS News program 60 Minutes from 1978 to 2011. . I miss Andy Roony and his wit. Now that I'm over 50, I think I appreciate his humor more than I did before.

 

13 Quotes from Andy Rooney On Older Women 

1. Older Women Andy Rooney says, "As I grow in age, I value older women most of all. Here are just a few reasons why." 

 2. An older woman will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think. 

 3. An older woman knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 50 give a damn what you might think about her. 

 4. An older single woman usually has had her fill of "meaningful relationships" and commitment." The last thing she needs in her life is another dopey, clingy, whiny, dependent lover! 

 5. Older women are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. 

 6. Most older women cook well. They care about cleanliness and are generous with praise, often undeserved. 

 7. An older woman has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. 

 9. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Older women couldn't care less. 

 10. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to an older woman. They always know. 

11. An older woman looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women or drag queens. 

 12. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, an older woman is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Her libido's stronger, her fear of pregnancy gone. 13. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off you are a jerk if you are acting like one.

BONUS QUOTE: Yes, we praise older women for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coifed babe of 70 there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22 year old waitress.

Love, The Next Generation

As they grow, children look at their parents as an example of how balanced love is. 

Parents fight but they also make up.  Parents disagree but also respect each others opinions. Parents experience sadness and show how they comfort each other. Parents continue to have fun and laugh. Parents show their kids, that no matter how old they are, they can still be romantic. 

Being on vacation with our adult children has shown me that we've done a pretty good job setting an example of love for our boys. I've seen snippets of our romance in them.

My son and his wife of less than 2 weeks, enjoyed quiet time reading together. 

Son #2 and his love are the picture of silly romance, 

they have a lot of fun simply being together.

When you go on vacation with adult children, let the love flow. 

De-Stress With Sex...Or Not

Orgasm provides substantial release of tension, intimacy melts a lot of anxiety.

Nothing beats being wrapped in loving arms, it's the marriage of love and peace.

Pure relaxing bliss.

A study of Welshmen ages 45-59 showed those who had sex at least twice a week were less likely to die over a ten-year period than those who had sex less than once a month. Other studies revealed sex enhances your life, boosts the immune system, releases endorphins that can relieve pain. Some studies show regular sex can help you feel healthier, look younger and add years to your life.

Okay... so we know sex is good for you. 

But sometimes at the end of the day, it's hard to get in the mood.

Sex & orgasms don't have to be a part of the formula. Intimacy is the key. 

Intimacy can be simply cuddling, a long kiss or even a joke. Spend a minute being together. Laughing together is actually an intimate act. I often laugh until I cry and it ain't pretty, but hubby loves it. Laughter releases the same chemicals as sex. 

Have you ever had a super good laugh in bed after sex? 

If not... you gotta try it!
