Father's Day Gift Idea: Swiss Army Knife and Watch

Image
Father's Day is fast approaching. For some reason it does not receive the attention of Mother's Day. Even so, it is important to honor our fathers and grandfathers. Here's the problem, what to get for dad? Mother's Day is easier: a card, flowers, chocolates, and jewelry. But fathers are harder to buy for. My sweetie asked me today what I wanted and I seriously couldn't think of anything. I have everything I need and most everything I want. I am so hard to buy for. Well, if you want to get some different ideas for dad, try The Swiss Army Knife store. They have lots of stuff for dads, even if knifes are not his thing. BTW: This is not a hint, I have a knife. I'll think of something.

When exposed to the sunlight, it produces Vitamin D. Skin also protects the body from damage and disease. It helps to cool the body when hot and warm the body when cold. Another important feature of skin is its ability to communicate: the cheeks flush red when a person is embarassed or excited, pales with ilness or fear, green with sea-sickeness. More to the point, the skin contains lots of nerve receptors. There are many different kinds of receptors. There are receptors for detecting mechanical stimulation, pain, heat, and location. Just as the types of nerve receptors varies, so does their density in the skin. Certain parts of the skin are more sensitive than others due to a higher number of nerve receptors per square inch. Of special note is that the hands and lips have a higher concentration of pleasure

Chivalry Originally uploaded by MontanaRaven . Blessed is the person who sees the need, recognizes the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer. --- William A. Ward Part of the power of marriage is the ability to help each other. As the years progress, we recognize the weaknesses, pressures, stresses and blindspots in our sweethearts. Once you see the need, seek to become the answer. Simple example: Your sweetie is busy with dishes, helping with homework, and trying to get ready for a meeting.

It sends a message of acceptance and warmth, of love and gratitude. Consider the following quotes: If you're not using your smile, you're like a man with a million dollars in the bank and no checkbook. Les Giblin A smile is a light in the window of the soul indicating that the heart is at home. Unknown A smile is different than the cheesy grin most kids put on their faces in order to have their picture taken. When you smile let it be a true smile. Do you remember Peter Pan? In order for the fairy dust to make you fly, you had to think a happy thought. The same is true for Harry Potter and casting his famous Patronus. It is also true for smiles. To really smile, remember a happy experience in your life. It doesn't need to be related to the person you are smiling at, just a time that makes you

Here's my homework

I asked her out with a bouquet of weeds. * Where did you go on your first date with your sweetie? What did you do? We never really dated, just hung out as friends. I guess the time I came back in town early and went and hid at her place so know one would know I was back would be our first "date". * At what age did you start dating? 17 as a senior in high school * How long did you and your sweetheart date before getting married? We never really dated but we did things socially for several months. * When did you know you were going to get married? This is terrible, but I don't remember. It just made sense. * What was the best date you ever went on? For our anniversary, when we were in Austin, we had dinner on a gondola on the lake. That was loads of fun. * What was the worst date ever? I had asked a gal to

Compliments are delightful
