Dating ... Love .... Marriage

I am Single and Dating again:( I hate being single, freedom is fun for a moment, but it is so much nicer to be with someone you really care about.

So many singles are looking for the BBD (Bigger Better Deal). The truth is there will always be the BBD. Some singles will try to read into things and make assumptions as to what their date is thinking, not a good idea. If you find a person who can be a good true friend and turns you on, stay with them, don't be afraid of the future, it may never come. Don't try and change them, work together to have a fun life. If your date spends almost all their free moments with you, don't sabotage your relationship by thinking your date is planning to cheat on you, just because he or she is nice to others. You will make your date self conscience about everyone he or she looks at or talks to. Be Confident. Confident is sexy! Don't let your past control you, release the mental baggage. Don't try to control the one you Love. Let them be.... the person you fell in Love with.

Make the BBD
If you Marry the right person, you can both achieve a much greater success. Marry the wrong person and your life will be a mess or.... for those of you who like drama a miserable hell>:-)

A Link to Better Health

A client of mine introduced me to this website, it is very interesting.

Since that landmark report from C. Everett Koop (and even before, depending on the circles you run in), Americans have been following one diet craze after another not only in an attempt to drop the excess baggage most of us are carrying around but also as a way to find our way back to good health. The result? We (as a country) are fatter than ever. And we're certainly no healthier.

The problem is that while diet is the key not only to slimness but also to overall health and well-being, it has to be a diet that properly balances our body chemistry. But each and every one of the diets Americans have tried— including not just the "average American diet" but also such supposedly healthful regimens as low-fat diets, the food pyramid, and vegetarianism—create wildly imbalanced body chemistry. Even if one way of eating does get rid of extra pounds (usually temporarily) or lower cholesterol levels or lessen digestive trouble for some people, it does not fulfill the promise of simple good health. We're so used to our modern medical machinery, in fact, that good health seems anything but simple. I'm here to tell you: It is simple.

Forget cholesterol counts. Forget calories and fat grams. Forget blood pressure, blood sugar, hormone levels, or any of the other markers of health you're used to at the doctor's office. It turns out that the single measurement most important to your health is the pH of your blood and tissues—how acidic or alkaline it is. Different areas of the body have different ideal pH levels, but blood pH is the most telling of all. Just as your body temperature is rigidly regulated, the blood must be kept in a very narrow pH range—mildly basic or alkaline. The body will go to great lengths to preserve that, including wreaking havoc on other tissues or systems.

The pH level of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. The entire metabolic process depends on an alkaline environment. Chronic overacidity corrodes body tissue, and if left unchecked will interrupt all cellular activities and functions, from the beating of your heart to the neural firing of your brain. In other words, overacidity interferes with life itself. It is at the root of all sickness and disease.

If that's not enough to get you interested in balancing your body pH naturally, nondestructively, keep this in mind: Overacidity is also what's keeping you fat.

How I found a cure to my Asthma

In the early nineties, I moved to Arizona for a year, after 6 months I had asthma. I needed to use an inhaler 3 times a day. I heard of alternative cures so I tried a Chiropractor in Arizona, it didn't work. I decided to move back to NYC after living in Arizona for a year. Six months later my Asthma was getting worse and my regular doctor wanted to put me on oral steroids. I chose not to be medicated. I hate to take medication; sometimes I feel it a Doctors way to cop out of finding the cause of your Dis-ease. Just take this drug. ( The pharmaceutical sales rep who gives the doctor all kinds of freebies said it would work. Why not... take a pill and call me when you get more sick.)I don't think so. How could I be healthy and then all of a sudden be so sick, my body should be able to repair itself unless there is something causing this Dis-ease. Two weeks later I was involved in a car accident, I went to a physical therapist, they put these electrical patches on my back which would make the muscles twitch till they got tired and I felt no pain. That is completely wrong and a very dumb thing to do. So I decided to try a chiropractor and I met Dr. Stephen Simonetti after two weeks my asthma was gone. He adjusted my back differently than the guy in Arizona. I would feel energized after my adjustments. He said there was a blockage in the communication between my Lungs and Brain causing the Dis-ease. So he cleared it up. I haven't used an inhaler for 10 years! Thank you Dr. Simonetti!

Beauty School Stories - The "Clics"

In Beauty School most of the students form these informal groups called "Clics". They section off like in that prison movie OZ. Which takes us to the Greek Clic, the only group that had a rich outcast. Her name was Effie she was loud, obnoxious, heavyset, black long hair pulled back in a tight braid; she basically reminded me of Costello (From that old TV show Abbott & Costello) She said her dad owned a Diner and when she got out of school he would buy her a salon. The other two students who I remember from that group were Paul, he was neat, slim, quite and in the closet at the time. And finally Ina, she was nice, friendly and attractive but when she pulled all her hair back a little scary (she would never pull her hair back). Guys would come to the school and compliment her derriere.

Beauty School Stories - The Students - Wanda

Wanda was one of the students who would call me El Muerto because I was so white, so unTan. Whenever I would walk by her and her friends they would always say something that I didn't understand and then one girl would translate. "Hey Peter, Wanda said she would like to take care of you in the bathroom, you don't have to do anything in return." Uhhh, no thanks, I'm O'k... "Hey Peter, you look sexy today." Uhhh, Thanks..bye... "Que Pasa Pedro Que Pasa"... Wanda was a tall, strong woman with very long hair, I would not feel comfortable being alone with her. One day I saw Wanda waiting in front of the school after school hours. She was waiting for the school director...of course... she needed to boost her grade to pass. The director would help many women boost their grades;-)

Pacific Coast Highway 1

Driving From San Francisco to LA was exciting. I never imagined how high and rugged the cliffs would be. It was like driving thru a dream land. This is an experience not to be missed; everyone should do this trip, but give yourself a few days to enjoy the ride. And don't forget to fill up your Gas tank! It was a 12hr drive.

EBAY LIVE!

Last week I went to Ebay Live! It was a great event and experience. This is my favorite company to invest in and do business with. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet the great staff and their fearless leader Meg Whitman the CEO of EBAY ( I told her to keep up the good work, since I plan on using my EBAY stock to fund my retirement ). I like all the new technology they introduced during this event. This company is so intune with their market that they actually listen to your suggestions and implement them! I will definitely be back to this event next year:-) We also met many nice interesting people, who love EBAY. Nice to meet you Bob Bull and Alice!

A Fun Short Cut by Peter Louis

Successful Investing

Saving is the Key to Successful Investing

Here is an example from my own recent personal budget. Last month, as I sat down to write a check for the cable bill, I stopped short. I hadn't watched cable TV in months, so how much did I really need it? I called my cable company and cancelled the service and then subscribed to netflix, the online movie rental service. Savings: $100 a month ($120 for cable minus 20 for netflix ). Month in and month out.

I'm sure you can find similar savings annuities in your life. I'm always looking at ways to save time( less bills, less filing and less check writing equals more time ) and cut some expenses, I am Changing my health insurance policy, and my brokerage services (where I've just consolidated and moved all my accounts to save monthly service fees and reduce all the incoming mail).

Of course, that $100 isn't saved yet. If it just gets commingled with the rest of the money in my checking account, I'm pretty sure I'll wind up spending it without even noticing it.

So, the next step is to make sure it goes automatically into an investment account. My company, has set up its payroll system for electronic direct deposit and I can allocate my paycheck among several accounts. To make sure the $100 really does get saved, I set up my electronic direct deposit to put the entire amount straight into an investing account. (If your employer doesn't offer you this alternative, you can set up an account with ShareBuilder.com that will take the money automatically out of your checking account each month.)

Putting that money into an investment account as quickly as possible is a key step. It's the start of the kind of positive feedback loop you need to build if you're to become a successful saver in a Spend! Spend! Spend! culture.

My method has a built-in positive re-enforcement mechanism: By setting up a dedicated investment vehicle, I can watch the savings increase every pay period. That activity, in turn, helps me feel that i will have a secure future and that puts a smile on my face.

I only invest in what I know and with the companies I do business with everyday. My current favorites are Ebay, IAC/InterActiveCorp, Yahoo, Google, Starbucks, Citibank, Coke, Microsoft, American Express.

Raw Food for Energy and Power

I work seven days a week at least 12 hours per day. When I was younger, I would have been too tired to work this kind of schedule. During a college course, I learned a little about eating right and realized what I had learned about eating at home and in school may be all wrong. After graduating and joining the work force I slowly began to change my diet and choose the correct food combinations, I included more vegetables less meat and my health and energy improved.

I would eat meats (or any type of protein) with vegetables or Pasta(Any type of Carbs) with vegetables. Never combine the two. Eat desert or fruits a couple of hours later as a seperate meal. Eliminate acid producing foods: no vinegar, no soda, less Orange juice, less wine, less beer. Eat melons seperate from any type of food. After several years my diet has evolved info a mostly raw food, vegetarian sometimes vegan diet.
For Breakfast I drink a smoothy.

The ingredients are as follows: half of a ten ounce bag of organic tropical fruit(mango, banana, strawberries, Papaya(has digestive enzymes), 2 scoops of "The Ultimate Meal" powder and 1/4 scoop of Nature's Way Alive!, a handful of organic wild blueberries and blackberries, one ounce Lily Of The Desert Aloe Vera Juice, Tbsp of eidon Liquid multimineral, a cup of Penta water.(I don't recommend soy milk for men).

Lunch
Any type of bean/lentil soup and a salad carrots, cucumbers, garbanzo beans, avocado, green peas, fresh articoke hearts and olive oil and lemon juice mixed in.

Dinner
a macrobiotic Plate with black beans, red beans, broccoli, spinach, guacamoli and rice. or Vegetarian sushi or sometimes fish.

This is just a basic guideline of what i eat and how my diet has evolved. Good luck on your journey to better health.
