Watch out for lies when online dating. There are certain things which people commonly lie about within their profile. The most common include: Height, weight, age, and occupation. Also be aware that people may embellish a little bit about themselves to make themselves sound better. For example, they may over exaggerate their travel experience, college education, etc… As mentioned before, even some pictures can’t be trusted. Some people use old photos of themselves because they looked better back then. Most important, be aware that some people lie about their relationship status. Married people have been known to state they are single on online dating sites.

Be careful about sharing your email As mentioned, most online dating sites allow you to use an anonymous internal communication system. Make sure you take full advantage of that. If you do start to feel comfortable with someone and would like to share an email address with them, don’t use your regular email address. Set up a free email address that you use strictly for your online dating activities. You can easily obtain one through yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc…

Be careful about sharing your personal information It’s easy to get sweptup and excited about the possibility of a new romance. However, the anonymous nature of online dating sites makes it just as (if not) more important than ever to protect your personal information. Don’t share your full name. Never give out the details of exactly where you work, or go to school. You can say something like “I work at a major downtown law firm.” If they ask, “Which one?” Just politely tell them you’d rather not say until you get to know them a little better. Most people will understand and respect your decision to not share. Don’t ever give out your address. Be very careful about giving out your telephone number. This is especially true of your cell phone number.

Don’t get too serious too fast It’s best to just keep things on the lighter side for a little while when you first meet someone from an online dating site. Keeping things friendly and light will help you to get to know the other person a lot better than just diving into a relationship.
Using an online dating service will help you to find your ideal person for a relationship. By using it to its full potential you won’t have to just “settle” for someone.Unfortunately, there are some people of questionable character in this world. You’re just as likely to meet someone who is up to no good at the gym, bar/club, or even at work as you are at an online dating site. The only difference with online dating sites is the level of anonymity that is provided for users. It’s a dual edge sword. It helps protect the innocent and allows those of dubious character to get away with a little more. These pitfalls and dangers weren’t mentioned to scare you. Online dating sites provide safe, fun, and exciting ways to meet people. Just keep these tips in mind and use common sense. The majority of people on online dating sites are legitimately searching for someone they can connect with, have fun with, and maybe even fall in love with. Maybe that special person they’re waiting for is you!

You know having a good sense of humor is the fruit of life, and this is especially true when it comes to picking up on a girl no matter where the location. Make them laugh, and I guarantee, that you are very close to getting their phone number and even to getting them to go out with you.

But, as we all know, making them laugh, is easier said than done. Precisely for those who find it difficult to come up with something funny to say, I am adding some funny anecdotes and wise cracks that you can memorize and then use in those situations where you need to get the girl in front of you to laugh.

1) The Prescription:
Did you hear of the lady, who walked into the pharmacist and asked for arsenic?
The man behind the counter asked in wonder, “What do you need that for?
The lady calmly replied,” to kill my husband.”
The pharmacist was taken aback,” Are you crazy? Do you want to get us both into jail? And, anyway, why do you want to kill him? Go to a counselor. Get help for your marriage.”
The lady paused and from her purse she removed a set of pictures of her husband and the wife of the pharmacist in some very creative postures.
The pharmacist looked at the snaps, put them down and smiled,” lady, why did you not tell me that you have a prescription?”

2) The Tip Book
A wife calls out to her husband, “Have you seen the book, 101 Tips to Live for More Than a Hundred Years?
The husband sheepishly replies, “I burnt it.”
“What?” the wife shouted out,” why?”
The husband whispered back,” Because your mother wanted to read it.”

3) Range of Food
Looking at his wife fry meat balls in all kinds of shapes and sizes, Tom tapped her on the shoulder, “Why?”
His wife turned,” Because you asked for a variety of food.”

4) Mushrooms
Tom was picking mushrooms from the forest floor with his wife, when she picked up one and showed it to Tom,” Is this for eating?”
Tom smiled,” Yes. As long as you do not cook it.”

5) Driving Around
Tom greeted his wife when she returned home,” So, my dear, how was your first time driving all alone?”
His wife smiled coyly, “Do you want to hear it from me or read about it in the papers?

6) Drama
A couple are watching a film in their local theater when the wife snuggles close to her husband and points to the screen,” Do you think that they will get married in the end?”
The husband sighs,” Yes. These movies always have bad endings.”

7) The Library
Tom visited the local library, walks up to the librarian and asks, “Do you know where I can find the book, the Supremacy of Men over Women?”
The librarian conducts a short search on the computer and looks up,” you will be able to find it in the science fiction.”

So you’ve got that old, worn out, ripped up recliner and your girlfriend or wife is pushing you to throw it out but it is hard because you have so much history with it plus it’s still really comfortable, what do you do? You could bow down like a little girly man and toss out the one true friend youever had they never judged you, was always there to support you during those tough times, and who always knew the right things to say…or you could give your old buddy a facelift and convince your significant other that rejuvenating the life of your chair is good for the environment and good for your soul and if she doesn’t let you keep it than she is no better than an Iraqi murdering, environment hating George W. Bush. Here’s a few tips to and tricks to turning your old chair into a newly improved pimp chair.

Fixing tears or holes in the chair upholstery is easy. All you need to do is go to your local shop and find the same fabric that will match the original color, or if you want to go really wild pick a different color that will also go with it, and then fix the patch or material with the proper adhesive or glue to fit. The fun of this is that you can be as creative as you want to be with the colors and styles, completely redoing the look of your chair to fit your proper pimp look and style.

The next trick to pimping out your chair is lighting—yes, that’s right, I said lighting. Pick out a set of fluorescent colored flashing hid lights or led rope lights or just find some old Christmas lights to wrap around your chair and bam, you done. You can even take it to the next level and add a modulator so that the lights flash really fast, really slow, or even fade in and out to really give it some effect. Your chair will be the centerpiece of the room, less of a chair and more of a flashing work of art.

Last but not least you need some storage. If you’ve got the space and the know-how, you can build your own little storage or even freezer compartment in the bottom of your chair that you could store drinks and food and keep cold with some ice. Besides that, you could just build a simple but effective cup holder into the arm rest, preferably one wide enough to fit a beer in a koozie. And with that you are set with your new pimp chair for laying around getting fat on a Sunday, or any day for that matter.

Hidden Video Cameras: Update

Video cameras were, for the longest time, the stuff of dreams. Super spies had them and master villains. Then, reality caught up with fiction. The problem was at first that they were very expensive and just about the only ones who could afford them were the police and the very rich. Now, hidden video cameras are inexpensive, produce an extremely clear image and are small enough to be hidden anywhere.

Security cameras have no match when it comes to proving your point. Whether you want video proof of someone’s pet doing something it shouldn’t, pictures of someone doing or saying something they shouldn’t or proof that someone near and dear to you is doing something with someone they shouldn’t be, a hidden video camera can prove invaluable. Nobody can argue with a video recoding.

The business environment is really tough right now. Profits are slim or not there at all. If you own your own business, you cannot afford employee theft. One well placed hidden security camera can end all that. An excellent example is someone I know. He owns a liquor store. A lot of stock was disappearing. Try as he might, he couldn’t find where it was all going and who was doing it. One day, he installed a hidden video camera in the exit sign above the rear door. That day, he caught the janitor taking some bottles out in a garbage bag. End of theft.

The hidden video cameras mentioned above are called dvr cameras. They are wireless and have their own on board memory which records to something called an sv card. They are motion activated. If animals or little kids might be around, you can program it to avoid movement in the lower quarter of the field of view. When you think you’ve got your prey imaged, you take the camera to your computer and download the memory.

What you’ve seen here is just the tip of the iceberg of what you can do with hidden video cameras.

Probably the greatest feature of these devices is that you don’t have to worry about placing them where a radio signal can get through to a central receiver of some sort like the first wireless devices that came out. Locate it, hide it, plug and play. Kids and pets can be programmed out.

The imagination runs wild at the prospects of where to hide them, doesn’t it? How about in wall clocks, alarm clocks, exit signs, light fixtures, coffee makers, water coolers or candy bar displays?

Warning! These hidden video cameras will not prevent a crime, just record one happening. To stop crime, use cameras that are highly visible. That’s the subject for another article.

Black players: The Secret World of Black pimps

Iceberg Slim is probably the best known and also the least known Superpimp of all time.

“Best known” because his autobiography “Pimp: The Story of My Life” was a surprise underground best-seller in the 1960s, when it sold in the millions, especially to a vast audience of black street hustlers. “Least known” because the talented, reclusive writer and self-confessed psychopath found redemption in later life as a doting father — who zealously protected his daughters from the kind of abuse he had routinely dished out to his own whores (ho’s). Repeated jail sentences, the last time in a “steel casket,” cured him of any further hunger for “The Life.”

Iceberg’s self-examination and incisive observations of the underdog ghetto culture that spawned him constitute a saga of American society’s underbelly, particularly during the 1930s and 1940s. His stories, told in accurate street language, influenced rap and hip-hop culture down to our own day. One lame rapper audaciously appropriated his name, and mainstream entertainers like Ice-T and Snoop Dog acknowledge him as the idol of their youthful “gangsta” years.

Now British author and editor Ian Whitaker has taken meticulous pains to track down the “lost” interviews with Iceberg from almost impossible-to-find magazines and newspapers, along with new interviews with those who knew him, including his daughter Misty. Richard Milner, co-author of the anthropological study “Black Players; The Secret World of Black Pimps,” contributes a new reminiscence of his contentious encounter with the King of Tricksters. Whitaker also reprints Milner’s original classic 1969 interview with Iceberg in full.

“The Lost Interviews” is an entertaining, fast-moving, and enlightening read. If you ever wondered about what goes on in the mind and the life of a warped genius who was “totally dedicated to pimping women,” here’s your opportunity to find out.
