Husband Duties February 19, 2005 10:56 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeAs a husband, it is my duty to find creative ways to bring a frown to my wife’s face daily. If I were to fail to make her frown I’d be a boyfriend not a husband.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeAnd when I said “went” I mean there wasn’t anything on my floors for me to cleanup! She did this yesterday or the day before also. That is not to say that she has quit using the training pads inside. She is still having accidents but I view this as major progress. As a bonus she has picked two very specific spots in the yard.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI post this to give my daughter something to sing that doesn’t involve peanut butter and jelly or badgers. Of course, this is to make her squish her face up and say, “huh?”

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeThe gentle buzz of snoring is among the most annoying sounds known to woman. Especially when it happens shortly after a passionate encounter.
Ah! Such nice words!
…men aren’t entirely to blame…there are scientific reasons why men feel tired after sex.
And the science?
‘The blood rush after climax depletes the muscles of energy-producing glycogen, leaving men feeling physically drained.
‘Because they have more muscle mass than women, men become tired after sex and this subsequently leads to them feeling sleepy.’
And now stats…
80% of men said they felt more relaxed and were able to drift off without any problems after making love, compared with 46% of women.
Ok. That’s 54% of women that have bad lovers because men if you are doing your job right that number would be higher! Where should women have sex?
Men in Birmingham managed on average to stay awake for just three to four minutes. In Glasgow and Liverpool, men claimed to take up to 20 minutes before falling asleep.
Now for the advise the article offers to stay awake…
‘Try I Feel Good by James Brown, Elvis Presley’s A Little Less Conversation or Britney Spears’s Toxic.’…videotape their lovemaking sessions – so they have something to watch afterwards…
And finally, a somewhat comforting statistic for half the male population…
48 per cent of men had actually fallen asleep during the act itself. A mere 11 per cent of women admitted being guilty of this.
A New Day! February 18, 2005 4:08 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeThis Morning
I did a computer repair for a business in town. I’m really enjoying the computer repair business despite the frustration sometimes accompanied with it.
I had a very pleasant business lunch.
Now I settle in to program.
Of course, it’s a gorgeous day outside. Wish I could take the dog to the dog park and get the kids outside.

The box has apparently predicted the 9/11 attacks four hours before they happened and the tsunami 24 hours before it happened as well as many other world events.
DEEP in the basement of a dusty university library in Edinburgh lies a small black box, roughly the size of two cigarette packets side by side, that churns out random numbers in an endless stream.
The box is being used as evidence to support the concept of a global consciousness.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeThis past Saturday the kids each received a Valentine’s card from my folks with a $5 bill in each one. Even two year old Amy got a $5 bill. She was so thrilled with it that she ran up on her house and sat there smiling at it as she held it stretched between her two hands. I asked her to give it to me for safe keeping and she didn’t complain. A few minutes later Cathy saw her walking down the hall with tears streaming down her face as she wimpered over and over “he took it.” I quickly returned it.
When I thought it had been forgotten I gave it to Cathy for safe keeping. This morning Amy sat on her house with her Valentine’s Day card and said, “I lost my dollar.”

From the mouths of babes February 16, 2005 9:59 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeSince the cat is not declawed apparently we have spoken to Amy a little too much about being careful. Now when she wants to pet the kitty she turns to us with a big smile on her face and says cheerfully “I be nice. I be gentle.” and waits for approval before petting.
