How To Impress Girls - Or Maybe Not

Somewhere around the summer between my 5th and 6ths grade years at EV Cain Elementary School a girl named Rhonda moved from Grass Valley to Auburn, and there was something about her that fascinated me. I saw her sometimes during the summer, going to the show with other girls, or shopping downtown with her Mother. She was intriguing to me for some reason. I can't think of that reason now, but I wanted to meet her, or to do something, anything, so she would notice me. Once I saw her at the town park up by the Recreation Field, and since I was a fast runner in those days, I thought I might show her how swift I was, and thereby impress her with my speed. I had just seen a Superman movie, and was impressed with the whole idea of speed, and thought she might be too. She was sitting on the lawn with a couple other girls I knew, and I wished that they would go away so I could impress her without them saying something like 'that's only Duane,' or some other dumb thing girls said back in those days.
I waited for probably a half-hour or more for my opportunity. Her friends didn't budge. But I spotted a beagle running lickity-split in her general direction, and I thought, 'if she sees me running faster than that dog, she'll really be impressed with me!' So I took out at an angle, until I was about parallel with the dog, and we zoomed side by side within a few feet of the girls and on to wherever the dog was headed. Before I got out of earshot I heard her ask 'who is the dumb kid with the cute dog?' My heart sank, but my feet ran on. The dog seemed to know where he was going, but I didn't and within seconds I found myself sliding on my back across a freshly watered section of lawn. As I slid to a stop, the dog turned back, gave me a curious look, and licked my face as if to say, 'Are you OK?' I couldn't bear looking back to see if Rhonda was watching, but I heard the girls giggling, so I was sure she saw the entire show.
Later that same summer I was walking on the sidewalk in front of the Auburn Post Office where my Dad worked, when I spotted her coming out of the Post Office lobby. She looked so pretty in her curly, bouncy hair, pink blouse and pedal pushers, that again I felt the surge of desire coming over me to impress her. I spotted a magnificent Schwinn bicycle parked by the curb; a bike far more expensive than I could ever hope to own, and since I was just a few feet from it at the time, I kind of casually stepped over to it and put one hand on the handle bars, like I was just resting after a long ride through the foothills of the Sierras. To my great surprise, she DID notice me, and in fact walked directly toward me. When she was no more than a foot away from me she asked, 'OK, what are you doing with my bike?'
I mumbled something about being sorry I had mistaken her bike for mine, and she mumbled something with the word 'stupid' in it, and that was the end of that. She never did notice me after that, and I guess it's just as well. I understand she went on to become a very successful waitress in old town Auburn.
Now that I've been married for more years than I care to mention, I've given up the idea of trying to impress her. Oh, when I'm back in town and drive by the Cozy Spot Cafe where she works, I'm always tempted to go in and somehow let her know that the boy she scorned grew up to be a writer. But about the time I start to pull in, my mind goes back to my first two attempts at impressing her, and I visualize myself telling her about all the books I have written, and in my mind, she responds by sarcastically asking if I write about dogs and stolen bikes, and so I change my mind, and drive on.
Of course, I knew lots of other girls as I was growing up, and I suppose I had a normal amount of curiosity about them that any young guy had. Roy Poindexter, a 5th grader, told a bunch of us 4th grade boys that the way to tell the difference between boys and girls was to tape a small mirror to the toe of one shoe, then walk casually up to a girl and engage her in conversation, and simply place the foot with the mirror on it between the girl's feet. Then while she was talking, we would simply glance down and get a glimpse of whatever was hiding under her skirt.
Roy spoke with the suave confidence of one who had done it many times. In retrospect, I remember his Mom was a manager of women's undergarments at J.C. Penny's, so he probably honed his craft by practicing on the mannequins after hours. Despite his bragging, I have serious reservations as to whether he ever tried it on a real, live girl, who would have to be both blind and stupid to stand still for such an obvious ploy.
But Billy Roberts believed him, and announced that he was going to try it the next day at school. Instead of the scenario turning out the way Roy predicted, the moment Billy walked on the playground Wanda Johannson spotted the mirror, and yelled at him across the basketball court 'Hey Billy! What's that on your shoe?'
So that was the end of that experiment.
And with a few notable exceptions, up until about the 7th grade girls were those 'other things' that we boys had no interest in and no use for, unless it was to check the spelling of some word or to double check on our homework assignment. We knew girls were different, but we didn't give much thought to how they differed, except that they threw a baseball funny and used two hands to shoot a basketball (even a lay up!), and they ran 'like girls'.
Except Linda Polameri.
She threw a ball the right way, ran like a boy, and nobody would have bet against her in a fair fight. The reason I know that is because she once got very angry with me in class after I beat her in a class election, and challenged me to a fight afterward. (Election of class officers was held twice a year, as I recall, and students pretty much voted by sex; the girls voted for whatever girl was running, and the boys voted for whatever boy was running. The only reason I ran was because no other boy wanted to run.) By last period, the entire class had heard about the fight, taken sides, and some were even making bets. I guess what bothered me the most was that even the boys who were rooting for me in the fight were betting against me. Even my best friend, Jack Stephens, who was as small as I was, only plumper, had bet his entire Friday's lunch money against me.
Fortunately for me, Mr. Ryan got wind of the fight, too, and appeared after school behind the Quonset hut; the very spot previously appointed for the fight. When the other kids saw him, they retreated awkwardly, and made their way toward the playground and on home. Linda seemed disappointed that the scheduled fight had been cancelled, but left with the others, not wanting to get in trouble with Mr. Ryan, a fair but tough teacher who had been a career officer in the Marines before he became a teacher. When everyone was gone, I crawled out from under the Quonset hut where I had been hiding, and skipped home, celebrating my reprieve.
Luckily, Linda didn't hold a grudge, and the next day at school she asked me if I wanted to shake and make up.
I did.
So we did.
And that was the inauspicious start of my first romance. Any girl who would shake and make up, to say nothing of running and throwing right, was worth my attention. It started out slowly, by a quick meeting of our eyes during history class, then sending notes back and forth during social studies, and climaxing in my request to change seats with John Towers so I could sit next to her. That was fine with John, who was tired of passing our notes back and forth by now. That was the first time in my entire life that I had ever knowingly and willingly taken a seat next to a girl, and surprisingly, it felt kind of good, in an embarrassing sort of way.
She liked me for approximately the same reasons, I suspect. I ran fast, threw a baseball like I knew what I was doing, and was pretty fair at the one-handed set shot. Then too, I was a boy, and it was a novelty for a boy to pay that much attention to a girl at 11 years of age.
That spring was wonderful. Seeing Linda every day at school; overhearing other girls whisper about us 'going together' in the cloakroom; and seeing a newfound admiration in the eyes of some of my male friends. I used to lie awake at night and dream of Linda and I both making the Yankees; she at shortstop and me in centerfield, winking at each other between plays. I always out hit her in my daydreams, probably to make up for the fact that she always out hit me in real 7th grade baseball games. It just didn't seem right for her to be THAT good. And we were tied for stolen bases, too, in my daydreams, right up to the last game of the season, when I stole 5 bases in one inning, breaking Ty Cobb's record (of course that was long before Maury Wills, Ricky Henderson, etc.) and putting me 1 ahead of Linda, who only stole 4 bases that same inning.
Our 7th grade formal dance was in late May, and Linda looked forward to it excitedly, talking a great deal about it, and hinting that she would dance only with me. I was greatly flattered on the one hand, and worried on the other since I didn't know how to dance.
I needn't have worried, however.
A kid named Chip Bonanno from New Jersey moved to Auburn three days before the dance. He was handsome, looked much older than the rest of us boys, had big biceps which he showed off in cut-off T-shirts, and spoke with not only a voice which had already changed to bass, but also with the smooth sophistication of a city boy who knew all about cars, girls, and the ways of the world. Linda and every other girl in the 7th grade fell in love with him instantly, and since Linda was the only girl in the 7th grade with a boyfriend, she was the one he chose.
She danced every dance with Chip at the formal, and as far as I knew, did not distinguish me from the furniture. I was crushed, of course, and spent most of my time looking as sad as possible, in hopes that she would notice me and feel sorry for me and leave Chip and come back to me.
It didn't work. She never looked.

Dealing with a Break Up Without Breaking Dow

Because we invest so much intimacy into our romantic relationships, going through a breakup can seem on par with experiencing the death of a loved one or close friend. Often the most painful aspect is that we don’t really know what to think; there is a fluctuating mixture of hatred, love, pain, thoughts of revenge, acceptance, and then pain again, etc. We long to be embedded in the great moments again, wondering how we got from there to here and if we are capable of getting there again. Our minds may start to play tricks on us as we personalize everything in agonizing detail rather than looking at the situation realistically.
Realistically, people break up every day because the fact that we’re all different is what makes life so interesting. Realistically, there are several billion people in the world, and at least several thousand to choose from that you could find compatibility with. Turning inward with the irrational belief that there is one person for you is very unrealistic, and thankfully so.
Here are a few more important points to keep in mind as you work your way through the break up:
 
 
Don’t do yourself the disservice of wasting your mental energy and spiritual powers on petty thoughts of resentment, jealousy, hatred or revenge. At the same time, don’t deny that there is pain; just see it for what it is - a desire for warmth, a desire to feel inspired, and a desire to be in love with the world. Take the time you have to really realize that these states of mind do not require somebody else’s participation.

Cell Phones Offer Navigation - Who Knew One

Not only do I have a cell phone, but I can now use this phone to find my destination point, services, and restaurants. I, and many others, have needed a restroom when they are out and about. Unfortunately you can’t possibly always know where to find a clean, decent restroom that you’d want to use.
Now Verizon has a new application called Vindigo City Guide. You can open the application, enter your city or zip code and you get a list of nearby public restrooms. Not only do you get this list, but you get directions to all of them and descriptions of the facilities.
Of course, you must pay for this privilege. The cost is $2.99 a month plus taxes and fees. Also, you must be in a major metropolitan area for the list to work. Philadelphia and New York are contained in the data base but, Atlantic City is not included. The guide really only works in the city. Rural areas are not listed at all.
The restaurant guide provides cuisine and reviews, as well as, directions. The service directory lists mechanics and hair stylists.
While mapquest is quite useful when you are at a computer, I find this and the GPS technology to be the best ‘new technology’ around. I can always use driving directions. I hate getting lost. Since I am and many others carry a cell phone regularly, we can just ask our phone and get the answer.

The Perfect Become Series Male Brazilian Wax

A male Brazilian wax requires the removal of all cheap hair extensions in the buttocks, butt crack, nut sack, penis shaft and genital area, leaving a obtaining strip (or other shapes : such as a

triangle) at the front.

Men Brazilian Waxing - The fundamentals



* The client will need to entirely undress from the waist down, such as removing his underwear.

- Ideally, moist wipes will be left for the client for you to freshen up before the wax, plus a towel provided for the client to pay for himself.

* The client need to lie down flat on his / her stomach, so the therapist will start with his buttock area.

- Disposable vinyl gloves needs to be worn by the therapist for those male intimate waxing treatment options and disposable spatulas used each and every time the spatula is

dipped back into the wax pot. Following these types of processes will eliminate the distribute of any bacteria or disease through 'double-dipping'.

* A combination of classic strip wax and new-generation non-strip wax should be used for a Brazil male wax. Strip feel will be used on larger regions such as the buttocks, and

non-strip polish on more intimate locations. Non-strip wax is kinder compared to conventional strip wax since it sticks to the hair, certainly not the skin and is thus well

suited for particularly sensitive areas. This doesn't 'pull' as other waxes might, thereby minimising client discomfort, and yes it causes less breakages and injury to the curly brazilian hair

which in turn reduces the risk of ingrown hairs.

Male B razil Waxing - The Treatment

1 . Sanitise the entire area to be shined up on this side (buttock cheekbones and crack) with a 100 % cotton pad and suitable detoxification solution to remove any system

lotion, dirt or moisture.

* Apply a thin covering of a suitable, light-textured oil about the area to be waxed, at the.g. on the buttock face and between the crack. This may create a barrier between the

pores and skin and the wax, reducing the quantity of skin cells removed and causing less irritation as well as trauma to the skin. As well as pulling less on the skin (that

hurts the client) it also implies that the waxed area is not left sticky.

* Bare any excess oil having a tissue. Too much oil on the area will be counterproductive and will stop the wax from adhering.

* Using conventional reel wax, apply to the butt with a clean disposable spatula in the direction of the hair growth and staying away from the crack area.

* Remove using good-quality paper or fabric strips, pulling the skin taut and pulling the particular strip off in the opposite direction to which the wax was employed. As always

when removing feel, work quickly and solidly as any indecision or slowness at this point will result in the client some discomfort. Quickly afterwards, firmly place your give

the area which has been waxed, having it for a second or perhaps two. Applying pressure on this region will take away any quick client discomfort or biting.

* Once all locks has been removed from both bottom, the client should use the hands to pull the buttock cheeks apart, exposing the butt fracture. If he prefers along with the

therapist feels comfortable, the consumer can instead either kneel on all fours or kneel forward on their shins for this part of the remedy.

* Using a new non reusable medium-sized spatula, apply several thin strip of non-strip wax to the fracture area in the direction of the hair expansion. The wax strip should not

be a longer than 4cm long, an inch broad and around 2mm thick. Following the wax strip, you'll want to create a thicker 'lip' of around 4mm thick. This lip forms any handle

which you can easily hold on to in order to pull the feel off in the absence of a document or fabric strip.

- Wait for the first wax deprive to set. This should take will no longer than 20 seconds in the event the wax was applied to the right consistency and is not too solid.
* Holding the lip of the wax strip using one hand and pulling the surrounding skin taut with all the other hand, pull the wax off the skin in the other way of thebrazilian hair extensions growth,

working rapidly and firmly as always. Utilize pressure to the area for a second with your free hand for you to minimise any stinging.

1 . Once all the hair has become removed from the buttock and crack area, apply a tiny amount of after-wax gel mixed with oil towards the waxed area to nourish, ease and

moisturise the skin.

* Turn the client over and duplicate the cleansing process to sanitise the area around the perineum, scrotum, penis base and pubic area. Apply a thin layer of ideal oil to the

entire method to be waxed, blotting off any excess oil with a tissue.

* Ask the client to support his penis to the left. Flex the client's right leg in a right angle place and allow the thigh to relax.

* Still using the non-strip feel, apply the wax to the ball sack in several lines ensuring that each and every strip is no longer than 4cm lengthy, an inch wide and all around

2mm thick, apart from the end from the strip which should be 4mm thick. Pieces should start at the knee crease where it satisfies the scrotum and direct into the centre of the

nut sack.

* When the first feel strip is set, holding the actual lip of the first polish strip with one side and pulling the surrounding epidermis taut with the other hand, move the wax

off the skin color in the opposite direction of the hair regrowth, working quickly and securely. Any indecision or slowness here from the therapist will cause the client several

discomfort. Repeat the process until all of the hairs on the first part of the scrotum are taken out.

* Ask the client to carry his penis to the complete opposite side and change the position regarding his legs so that the first leg is straight along with relaxed and the second

leg is bent out at the right angle, allowing the actual thigh to relax. Repeat the process of the scrotum waxing on the left hand side.

* Once the hairs are generally removed from both sides of the ball sack, ask the client to flex both legs out in to a right angle with the his / her feet touching, forming a new

frogs legs position.

* Inquire the client to hold both sides with the scrotum and pull the idea upwards, so as to stretch the skin in the middle. This allows the middle part of the scrotum to be

waxed with similar method as when wax the sides of the scrotum.

- Once complete, check on the whole scrotum area making sure the whole area has been wax. Tweeze out any stray fur with a sharp pair of tweezers to pick up hairs that are good

enough to be removed but not good enough to be waxed out.

To wax the penis canal, the client must stretch their penis with his hands. This enables you to wax around the shaft of your penis in small sections applying the wax upwards in

the direction of the hair growth and pulling away from in the opposite direction.

* Finally, the front of the pubic bone tissue can be waxed. Starting in whichever side is easiest and using a medium-sized spatula, a thin coating of non-strip wax (no longer

than 8cm long) should be applied in the actual direction of the hair growth and also removed in the usual method. This process should be continued since far inwards as the

client desires to take the wax, and then recurring on the other side. The end result will be a 'landing strip' to the client's desired width, or even he prefers, another design

such as a triangle. Any run away hairs should be tweezed out.

*A small amount of after-wax gel mixed with oil can now be applied to the whole waxed method to soothe and nourish the skin.

Male Brazilian Waxing - Aftercare

* Allow One day for the follicles to completely shut and return to normal. Local 'red dots' where the skin has been wax are completely normal. This happens simply because each

hair has its own blood flow and when the hair is removed from the root the blood supply rushes up to the surface. These reddish dots should slowly clear as the body cools lower

after the wax, although this might take slightly longer for consumers with sensitive skin.

Fake tans, massages, extreme heat treatments (e.g. very hot baths or showers, bathhouses, steam rooms), swimming, tanning (including sun beds or any other exposure to UV light)

or tight clothing should be prevented for 24-48 hours. It is also preferable to try and avoid exercise every day and night as a build-up of sweat on view hair follicles could

cause unsightly places. Do not scratch or effect the area with unwashed fingers.

* Starting from 48 hours as soon as the wax, moisturise and exfoliate your waxed area regularly to scale back the risk of ingrown hairs, making use of suitable products that are

not as well heavily fragranced. If virtually any irritation has occurred, antiseptic cream can help. Dead marine salt used as bath tub salts can also help prevent disease as can

anti-bacterial shower gels. Relaxing lotions and gels, especially those containing products such as tea-tree gas, aloe vera and witch-hazel can also relieve irritation.
