How does my character affect my life?

Character

Character really does count. The reason is simple: With character and integrity, you're going to do the right thing. And when you do the right thing, you have no guilt or regrets. With integrity you have nothing to fear because you have nothing to hide. Think about it for a moment. When you have taken both guilt and fear off your back, your are free to be the very best you can be, do the most you can do and have more of the good things that life has to offer.

Get your 5-A-Day by adding fruits and vegetables to salads, soups or casseroles. On sandwiches, try lettuce, pepper, tomato slices or even sliced eggplant in place of cheese. Eating fruit for snacks or in cereals can make it easy to obtain the servings you need.

How do I arouse her?

Have hair-raising sex

There's a reason she likes it when you notice her new haircut: Hair is one of the ways women express their sexuality. Here's how to help:
-When you kiss her, brush the hair away from her face or run your fingers through it. "It's one of the most forgotten erogenous zones, which is a shame," says Lonnie Barbach, Ph.D., author of 50 Ways to Please Your Lover.
-And as you rub her back, spend some time on her scalp. Treat it as if you were washing her hair-use your fingertips to make firm circular movements on her head and neck.
-If she has long hair, encourage her to take the top and drape and brush it across your face and body during sex. Return the favor later. Use your shorter hair on her inner thighs to leave her tingling.
-As your arousal increases, rub her head, stroke her hair, or even pull it gently — or emphatically — depending on what she likes.

What is a period?

First Period

A girl's first menstruation is called menarche. This is pronounced MEN-arc or MEN-arc-y. When a girl passes certain milestones in her development, but does not start having periods, this is called Primary Amenorrhea. This is pronounced A-men-or-rea or Ah-men-or-rea. The word primary is the part that means the girl has never had a period. The amenorrhea part means lack (a is Latin for none) of periods (menorrhea is Latin for "monthly flow"). This is to distinguish it from Secondary Amenorrhea, which is when a woman has had periods and then stops.

What about edges?

Cutting Edges

Cutting edges from display cabinets, columns, and protruding corners will cut and drain the energy of your employees and customers. In Diagram 2 notice how the energy of corner Cl directly intersects the position of the cash register, cutting the energy of both the employee makings the sale and the customer. The energy from corners C2 and C3 directly cut energy of everyone walking in the front door of the store. This cuts and drains energy of valued customers. The energies from C4 and C5 are cutting the fields of the customers as they shop. These are just a few examples of cutting edges in the store. Ideally every protruding corn should be cured." This includes corners from walls, cabinets, and columns. The more corners you treat, the more desirable the energy will be in the store. The "cures" are again very simple. Get out those red dots and place them on the corners. They need not be visible; you can place them near the floor or under a shelf covering or product.
