Is Love Blind?

You’ve probably seen a friend or family member get involved with someone who is obviously not the right person for them. We may have been in a relationship with the one person we probably had no reason being involved with. Why? 
It starts with an L and ends with an E or it could end with a T. Lust led to love and love can be blind. Simple.

How many times has someone tried to warn you about a man who you later find out to be a dog with a capital D? Sometimes our own intuition kicks in and warns us that he is not the one, but we ignore our internal radar and fall for the handsome face or buff body.

Here are a few sure signs you need to run away (regardless if he’s heterosexual, bisexual or just came out of the closet gay):

1. If your man is constantly getting checked out by gay men, run the other way.
2. If your man stays in the mirror more than you do, you might want to think again and run the other way.
3. If your man uses vaseline on his lips, you got it–run the other way.
4. If your man stops pleasing you sexually, don’t stand for it–run the other way.
5. If your family and friends tell you something just ain’t right about him–listen–they can see something you can’t–run the other way.

Okay, I think you get the point. To PROTECT your heart AND your HEALTH, you must take off the blinders and see the man for who and what he is.

Love might be blind, but that doesn’t mean you have to be.

Lori’s 13 Trick or Treat Don’ts

1) DON’T send your kid out to knock on doors until you’ve first taught him/her proper Halloween etiquette. “Give me some candy!” and “Is that all you’ve got?” are not acceptable substitutes for “Trick or treat! and Thank you.”

2) If you’re 13 years old or older and you’re thinking about knocking on my door and asking for candy . . . DON’T . . . unless you’re looking to be embarrassed or have the police called on your behind.

3) If you’re thinking about letting little Ashley dress up like Peaches the stripper or Kitty the call girl, and calling it a costume . . . DON’T! That mess is SO NOT cute.

4) If you forget to buy candy, DON’T try to substitute those stale mints and those dried up sticks of gum that have been sitting in the bottom of your purse or in that dusty bowl in the living room forever. That’s just nasty . . . and trifling.

5) If you’re one of those anti-sugar freaks, DON’T pass out toothbrushes and dental floss–sheesh, just turn out the lights and keep your durn door shut.

6) DON’T send your child up to my house clutching one of those big, green, 30-gallon sized trash bags, unless he/she is pretending to be a sanitation worker. It’s Halloween folks, not garbage pick-up day.

7) If you’re sitting in the house in your drawers, getting your drank on, when the door bell rings, do us all a favor and just DON’T answer it.

The Most Depressing Jobs – Is Yours on the List

Check this out. People in the Arts/Entertainment field are supposedly in the top 5 depressing jobs. Hmm. Is it because we put our hearts into our work and when folks tear the work down, the person might feel like they are being torn down in the process. We have to realize that its the piece of work that’s getting criticized. Folks don’t really know you–the person behind the work, so we have to learn how to seperate ourselves from the work. Is it easy? No, but it’s something that must be done or risk being part of the statistics.

I definately agree with #2 because tell me, when was the last time you went to Mickey D’s and the person giving you your food seemed happy to be there…only time they seemed happy is if they are on their phone talking to somebody when they should be getting you your food.

Prenupts – For or Against?

Prenuptial agreements are not just for the rich. If you have property such as a home, possibility of inheriting property, own your own business, help put a spouse through school, or a spouse helps put you through school, etc. a prenupt might be something you would want to consider. A prenupt protects both parties involved.

Women these days are making just as much (if not more) money than men, so getting a prenupt before marriage isn’t just something to benefit the man anymore. Grant it, the mention of “prenupt” might make a man or woman run away. Especially if they feel that the mere idea of one is a sign that the relationship isn’t as solid as it should be or that the party requesting the other person to sign one doesn’t believe “in their love” enough. A prenupt isn’t personal, it’s business. It’s a way to protect yourself. In the ideal world, “Until death do us part” would be true 100 percent of the time, but unfortunately divorce does happen–especially if relationships are based on false pretenses.

Do you believe in prenupts? What if you are the one with the money or potential to make a lot of money? Should it be the deciding factor on whether or not you marry?

Love at First Sight

How to seduce anyone. Do you believe in love at first sight? In the book, My Invisible Husband, Nikki is immediately attracted to Byron even though she wouldn’t admit it. Some would say, it was love at first sight.

I’ve seen surveys that both men and women believe there is “love at first sight” and in fact, I asked this question to a few males and out of the males asked, 95 percent agreed that “love at first sight” exists.

I’m a romantic and would love to meet a man and him and I instantly fall in love like in the movies or some of the romance stories I write. But it has yet to happen to me. I have been in “lust at first sight.”

Have you ever experienced “love at first sight?” If so, are you still with that love or did it fizzle because it was more “lust” at first sight instead?
