Hot Tuesday Debate

Posted by shanibooks at 04:32 AM on May 26, 2009

Browsing the internet tonight, I came across a debate about women's behaviors (discussion about Steve Harvey's book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man): 

 

"As far as relationships with friends, I don't place a lot of value on that because friends come and go, but what is wrong with 1950s advice? Nowadays, women try so hard to be too independent. Take a look at the women to men ratio and ask yourself why that is. For one, men definitely have the upper hand and can have their choice of ladies. I know this to be especially true, since I have witnessed the sharing of a man by two professional independent women. Both cognizant they were sharing, but just chose to accept that situation."

 

Do you Agree or Disagree that some women's independence is the reason they can not have healthy relationships?  Click here to take Online Survey

I guess it's possible that being "too independent" could be a reason one cannot have healthy relationships; however, I think it's sad that the opposite sex can be so needy that they are intimidated by a woman's level of independence. Personally, I find it an honorable trait and a turn on. Why is it that when you're not independent enough, you're "clingy" and when you're too independent you're "too independent"? It's like you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Sighhh...

This might be a bit off-topic but I believe there are a lot of smokers here on www.shanibooks.com. I decided to find a good vendor of e-cigarettes. I'm done with paying so much for normal smokes.A friend recommended

G Smoke
According to their website this is how they described their product:
"Green Smoke offers supreme Electronic cigarettes with disposable cartridges that compose of the highest smoke volume in the industry. With a collection of flavors and nicotine levels, Green Smoke's? patented product offers convenience and exhibit performance that is unmatched.

I'm thinking of buying them. Anyone else have experience with this e-cigarette?

The French gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d'Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow's milk in place of sheep's milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.
