Well, she went out and bragged to all her friends anyway, so I might as well spill my guts here for all you dudes that have no clue what to do for that someone special in your life.

First off, you have to truly love your wife / girlfriend to make this work.

Forget about all the bullshit you see advertised on the Internet, TV and the radio — for you guys that are sex-starved, all the flowers, jewelry and candy in the world is not going to help you get lucky.

There is a jewelry commercial airing on TV that promises you “give and you shall receive” almost like your wife is some sort of prostitute, in that if you give her a gift of diamonds, she will put out to you. I certainly don’t want to be a pimp, and for sure don’t want a wife that puts out for some shiny rocks. What if some dude shows up with shinier rocks — does that mean she will put out for him also?

This is what I did to make her melt like butter and brag about you to all her friends and family:

The prep:

– Buy a bottle of champagne — don’t buy the real cheap crap – but you don’t have to spend a fortune — you can get a decent bottle for about fifteen to twenty dollars.

*****– Make chocolate covered strawberries — this is important, make them yourself — it’s not that hard – here’s how:

Buy a dozen strawberries.

Buy some semi-sweet chocolate morsels — in the baking aisle.

Wax paper

That’s all you need.

Important: Wash strawberries and drain on paper towels. It’s imperative that the strawberries be absolutely dry when dipping in chocolate. Just a drop of water will ruin the bunch.

Forget all the hookey about saucepans and double boilers — this works just as well for what you are doing — you don’t want them professional looking, you want her to know that you made them yourself.

Dump an overflowing handful of chocolate into a microwavable bowl – cook on high for one minute at a time, stirring between minutes until the chocolate is creamy smooth.

Dunk and dip strawberries and place on wax paper — put in fridge and let cool — that’s it!*****

Next prep:

Pick out a romantic spot that you can take her to later that evening — be it the beach, mountains, or anything with a secluded evening view.

Go to that spot beforehand and scrape in the snow or sand something like “I Love you XXXXXXX” – make sure it is personal.

Tell her to be ready to go out with you at five PM and to dress casual.

Pack your cooler with the champagne, strawberries and champagne glasses and pre-load into car.

At the appointed hour, drive to your spot, watch the sunset (or whatever), break out the goodies and then later go for a walk and “find” your secret message.

Guys, it’s not that complicated — she will love this!

Don’t ruin your tough-guy image – tell her not to tell anyone.

Pass this along — who did you help today?

At first glance, it might seem that he is just a fat f**k, but after looking at him closely, you’ll find that his stomach is seriously distended and hard, not like typical belly fat. Upon admission to the emergency room, the on-duty nurse asked Walter and his daughter Keri who brought him there if his stomach was always like this. After replying that this was the normal swollen state, the nurse incredulously asked — “Like this??”

Well it turns out, Walter has a form of Crohn’s disease known as Ileitis.
Naturally, after a barrage of tests and procedures the doctors prescribed drugs for controlling the symptoms. No mention whatsoever about lifestyle changes that would help his condition.

Being married to his sister for twenty plus years, I’ve known Walter for a long time. Walter loves to drink alcohol to excess and by the looks of him you can tell that the man has never eaten a vegetable in his life — Walter is a junk food junkie. The doctors didn’t even ask him about his nutritional habits and what kind of diet he should follow to minimize recurrent episodes of pain and suffering from Ileitis.

Because I love Walter and I want to help him, I did an exhaustive search on the subject.

This is what I found:

Oftentimes, the generic diagnosis of colitis, ileitis, or inflamed or bloated intestines are due to insulin resistance or IR.

Here is a list of some complaints of people with IR Sometimes these occur immediately following a high carb meal or on a regular basis. These symptoms may also be related to other problems.

Frequent tiredness, low blood sugar, intestinal bloating, increased fat storage, increased weight, high triglycerides and blood pressure and depression.

Knowing Walter the way I do, I know he suffers all of these symptoms except for the low blood sugar, which I have no clue about.

The cure for IR is to drastically lower you carbohydrate intake and eat plenty of proteins and eat the right kind of fats (olive oil, coconut oil and fish), get plenty of exercise (30 to 60 minutes of walking four to five days a week), stay hydrated with clean water — many if not all of these symptoms will simply disappear.

Insulin Resistance is also prevalent in persons that abuse alcohol and other drugs including smoking and caffeine.

With the stress of IR eliminated, the body is finally able to correct many of its own problems. It is possible, that so many of these symptoms can be found in someone who tolerates carbohydrates.

Drastically cutting back on carb intake, includes of course all the usual suspects such as cakes and cookies, but also pastas, grains (including the oft-cited “healthy” 100% grains) and some fruits.

Search your local library for Corrinne Netzer’s book “The Complete Book of Food Counts” and Dr. D’Adamo’s book “Eat Right For Your Type.”

You’ll be glad you did.

With all the crap going on in the world today, it is easy to forget that we are all in this together — this thing we call life and our lives is sadly becoming all about “me.” But it’s not your fault. We are taught the “me” philosophy by our parents, sometimes pathetic teachers, the biased mainstream media and society.

I’m guilty too.

But it is time to start working together and helping each other out because times are tough and things are going to get harder before they get any easier. I think most people genuinely like to help each other, but often times are afraid, discouraged, intimidated and encouraged not to give a helping hand to someone in need.

Think about yesterday, or last week or last month. Think about when you were confronted with a small, or not so small of a problem — and you wished that there would be someone you could ask for help.

Wish is a very passive word — I hate it when I hear someone use the words “I wish”; as if what they are about to wish for will materialize out of thin air.

Don’t say “I wish someone would help me” — I need help! – right now.

Or if you want to offer help — I want to help!
