This segment is titled "THE FASCINATING WOMANHOOD WAY TO WELCOME A MAN WHEN HE COMES HOME FROM WORK" GET YOUR WORK DONE: Plan your tasks with an eye of the clock. Finish or interrupt them an hour before he is expected. Your anguished cry, "Are you home already?" is not exactly a warm welcome. HAVE DINNER READY: Plan ahead, even the night before to have a delicious meal, on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed. PREPARE YOURSELF: Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. This will also make you happy to see him instead of too tired to care. Turn off the worry and be glad to be alive and grateful for the man who is going to walk in. While you are resting you can be thinking about your F.W. assignment and all you can do to make him happy and give his spirits a lift. When you arise, take care of your appearance. Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift. CLEAR AWAY THE CLUTTER: Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. in a bucket or wastebasket and put them in the back bedroom for sorting later. The run a dustcloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order and it will give you a lift too. Having the house in order is another way of letting him know that you care and have planned for this homecoming. PREPARE THE CHILDREN: Take just a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces (if they are small) comb their hair, and if necessary change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them the part. MINIMIZE ALL NOISE: Especially give heed to this if your husband has to join rush hour traffic. At the time of his arrival eliminate noise of washer, dryer, dishwasher or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet at the time of their father's arrival. Let them be a little noisy beforehand to get it out of their system. MORE TO COME TOMORROW.........CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS STUFF?

How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a little noose around your neck?" The reason for wearing ties is simple; ever since the demise of the cod-piece, the male of the species has worn a strip of cloth round his neck for the sole purpose of pointing out his dick to the female of the species. As for bow-ties . . . ========================================================================= ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 May 1994 22:14:58 -0400 From: Tim Rybak Subject: Offensive to Japanese Sorry if this offends anyone... An optometric surgeon was on a plane flight and was seated next to a Japanese man with the thickest glasses the surgeon had ever seen. Aware of the problems that can occur with extreme nearsightedness, the surgeon asked, "Have you ever had cateracts?" the Japanese man grinned and replied, "No, never have cataracts. Once have Rincorn Continenor though." ***Grins and ducts for cover*** -- ========================================================================= ------------------------------
