My Hair, Your Heart

0 comments

"Oh my hair!
It looks awful."
She gives him an earful
The sound is quite dreadful
The matter painfully trivial
Yet the incessant mention of it
Makes the experience eventful
Oh dear, one's looks
How truly important are they?
The need to be attractive
To get the attention of a man
Or allure as many men as possible
To keep a man however
Is such impossible?
Perhaps if you apply a few simple rules
Don't let men play the fool
Perhaps not if you date correctly
Eliminate those who think merely sexually
Consider they who are men of honor
Upholding integrity and commitment
Hold to love more than lust
Endure difficulties and don't quit
Someone who doesn't dread
A family visit
The simplicity of life
One capable of resolving conflict
And not excessively causing strife
Oh to find such a man
Wouldn't your mother be proud
A man of financial means
Even father would cheer loud
Nevertheless beyond the dating game
Once there is mutual interest
And you near closer to an engagement
You will be on your best behavior
Hiding all your flaws and peculiarities
That might drive him away
God forbid lest your true self be seen
And then you he might inwardly demean
Of course there are days you too
Want to inwardly scream
Yet you harness yourself
Being lady like for sure
It's all about dating and the lure
The chess game until matrimony
One false move and he's mated
You know him well, the guy you once dated
He who you upheld in high esteem
Respected privately and publicly
Now however that you are married
All of these qualities you've seemingly buried
Instead you focus on other essentials
Such as hair, nails, outings with the girls
Designer clothes, shopping whirls
Spending all his money
Before he earns it
Any counsel she spurns it
As for his love, she yearns for it
But her wishes need to be met too
Giving him at home things to do
Sometimes unloading all the kids on him too
Ah yes, such apparently is marriage
You know the song with the baby carriage
Just one simple word of advice
Grown up sophisticated one
Looks may have attracted him
Yet it's intangibles that makes him run
Dating too has its wholesome fun
Once married however
Its heart over hair
Care over dare
Thanks over complaints
Nurturing over nagging
Tenderness over teasing
Listening over lecturing
Sensitivity over seduction
Silence over defiance
Patience over power
Lest the love you worked so hard for
Suddenly go sour.
Let not familiarity and disrespect
Your love devour.

Ok, its not exactly flattering to be called a whore, but who cares when youre making money, right?

Before you send me hate mail or report me to the local authorities, let me explain myself a bit further.

The term that Im referring to is myspace whore. If you havent heard it than I really do apologize for exposing you to such an inappropriate phrase, but if you know anything about Myspace.com, then you know that that quote is thrown around like tator tots in a food fight. However, the definition of myspace whore isnt as bad as it sounds. Basically, it refers to a member who has an enormous list of friends most of whom he or she has no personal relation with. In other words it means someone who likes to network with as many people as they can. Whether it be for their own reasons or what were going to be talking about...to make money.

You see, unless youve been living under a rock for the past couple of years, you probably know that Myspace has become the supernova of online social networking sites. Boasting an 80 million registered user database, Myspace has surpassed Google, MSN and AOL with its 38.4 million U.S. visitors this past year.

So what does that all mean to the internet marketer...everything!

Imagine advertising your product or an affiliates product to 80 million potential customers. Imagine breaking that 80 million down by demographic region, age, sex, ethnic background, relationship status, hair color...get the picture. I dont know of many other places that can produce such a huge number of targeted traffic for absolutely zero dollars, and there are plenty of channels by which to advertise.

Like I said before, not bad for a website that can generate all that traffic for free!

I think the toughest part of your endeavor is going to be

Creating your own hand dyed yarn isn't difficult and can be fun. With a little practice, you'll making yarn that is beautiful and unique. Here's a recipe using grape juice. With wool get a dusty-rose color, on cotton you'll get soft lavender.

The following yarn dye is made from frozen juice which you can buy at your local supermarket. You'll also need some salt.

First off you should select your yarn that is to be hand dyed. Different fibers take dye differently. All-wool yarn, like Lion Wool, takes on color much more easily than other fibers. Cotton takes on very subtle, pastel shades when hand dyed. In fact, you'll find that using the same dye on a wool fiber and a cotton fiber can produce fibers of differing colors.

All the equipment you need to dye yarn is in the kitchen. Until quite recently hand dyeing yarn was a quite common activity in most kitchens. The following items are what you'll need.

1. One good knife and chopping board.
2. Stainless steel or enamel pots. Don't use those coated with anti-stick materials.
3. A stove - of course.
4. A timer - not an egg timer but something that lasts a period of time; a clock will suffice.
5. You need tongs or spoons to handle the yarn. If you doing more than one color at a time you should use different utensils.
6. You need a clothes horse or somewhere else to allow your yarn to dry.
7. Takes notes. If you make a color you like you'll want to repeat it; detailed notes about quantities and timing will help you to repeat the process.

Making the grape juice dye

This quantity is enough to make 2 skeins of wool or cotton: 2 large cans of frozen grape juice; you can use fresh grape; 4 tbsp salt; 4 cans water.

Bring the above to the boil, stirring occasionally.

Bundle the yarn for dying into a hank. It should be looped loosely so that the dye will be able to circulate freely but also needs to be secured so it does not tangle; you don't want to be spending a lot of time untangling it when it's wet. Bundling is particularly important for wool yarn, which will felt together if allowed to move during dying. Here is how to make the bundles:

Wind the yarn into a large loop. You can do this on a swift; by wrapping it around the back of a chair; by wrapping it around your forearm from your fingers; under your elbow and back up again.

Secure the wound yarn by tying it loosely in two places using short sections.

If your pot is small, double the loop, twisting it into a smaller circle and securing it with two more short pieces of yarn.

You help to spread the dye evenly but first dampening the yarn.

Carefully put the yarn in to the dye bath.

Cook the yarn for 1 hour. If the liquid evaporates below the height of the yarn you can add more water.

Test the color by taking a small section and rinsing it. If you like the color you can remove the yarn or else leave it longer to take on more color.

After one hour, remove the yarn from the bath and rinse it in cool water. Rinse the yarn until the water runs clear. Do NOT throw away the dye bath until the yarn has dried completely and you know you are satisfied with the color. Find out whether your yarn is color-fast by rinsing with soap as well as water. It's better to find out now before you've made the yarn into something.

Wring out the yarn.

Cut the second set of ties on the yarn, but leave the first ones in so that the yarn is in a big loop. When dying wool, put it back on the swift or chair or whatever you used when you first wound it. Rewind the yarn into a ball and then rewind it back into its loop. This will help to unfelt some of the strands that may have felted together slightly. It's much easier to unfelt yarn when it's damp.

Hang up the yarn to dry naturally.

There are many causes of erectile dysfunction (or impotence). 20 years ago the majority of impotent men were suffering from psychological problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and anger. Only a minority of men had a physical cause fro their impotence. There was no drug based treatments available so doctors concentrated on the psychological.

The whole pattern of impotence has changed enormously in the last 20 years. Nowadays the main causes of impotence are physical illnesses. The big three are diabetes, heart disease and obesity. For instance men suffering from diabetes have getting on for a 50% chance of suffering from impotence. Bearing in mind there are over a million diabetes sufferers in the UK thats a potentially large problem.

Having a lousy job, big mortgage and long hours wasnt and isnt an aid to a great sex life. Those problems still remain today but have been joined and to some extent overwhelmed by physical worries. So are drugs such as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra the best answer?

The anti impotence drugs Viagra, Cialis & Levitra work by increasing blood flow into the penis, which leads to an erection. They block a chemical in your body called phosphodiesterase type 5(PDE5). This relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow through them. This leads to an erection. Theres no doubt drugs are the quickest way to bypass erectile difficulties. Most men taking anti impotence drugs get an erection and can perform again.

However if the main problem is obesity perhaps losing weight might be a better thing to do. It is of course not a quick fix like drugs are. In the long term however it may do more good as obesity is linked with many problems such as heart disease, increased risk of cancers, sleeping problems and a general lack of energy.

There are of course other possible treatments such as a vacuum pump and ring. The vacuum created draws blood into the penis and causes an erection. The ring is applied at the base of the penis to maintain it. It probably doesnt help foreplay if there is a 10 minute pause to fit the pump and use it.

On balance for most men, the anti impotence drugs Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are the best treatment. However partners mustnt be forgotten. As the saying goes it takes two to tango. How is your partner feeling? What do they think? What do they want? Its easy to be selfish and focus on yourself. Finally dont forget its not how big it is thats important, its how you use it! Sex is a shared experience.
