Folding a Fitted Sheet
This Technique yields a fitted sheet that will lie flat in the linen closet.
(Instrustions are for a right handed person; reverse them if your left handed)
With the sheet inside out, place one hand in each of two adjacent corners.
Bring your right hand to your left, and fold the corner on your right hand over the one in your left, so the corner on top is right side out. Next, reach down and pick up the corner that is adjacent to the one that was in your right hand (it wil be hanging in front), and the fold over the other two corners; this third corner will be inside out.
Bring the last corner up, and fold it over the others so it is right side out.
Lay the sheet on a flat surface and the shape as shown. Fold two edges in, so all the elastic is hidden.

Good Sex had great health benefits: So if you have a good sex (Meaning Better Quality and Quantity) life can lead to the following:
* You can look 7 – 12 Years younger
* Your Immune system is 33% stronger
* You can have a 50% decrease in heart disease
* You can have Less stress and Less Insomnia
* Sex is also a great pain reliever, Orgasms are great for relieving cramps and headaches.
One mistake couples make is that they think sex should happen naturally, Dr. Berman says. But that’s not always the case. “Especially if you’re in a long-term relationship, you’re always going through ebbs and flows physically, socially and environmentally,” she says. “You can’t expect everything to be working perfectly all the time. You’ve got to fine-tune things along the way.” Dr. Berman says couples need to keep gender differences in mind when striving for a good sex life. Men take an average of 5 to 10 minutes to reach orgasm, while women need about 15 to 20 minutes. “If men are a microwave oven, women are a slow-burning stove,” she says. “It’s a big difference.”
Over 60% of women fantasize about being dominated. Because its beyond your control and your being forced to surrender. Because most women have trouble letting go and relinquishing power. She came up with the idea of a “surrender date” Where your husband makes all the decisions and has all the control. He will decide what you wear, where you eat, Etc.
Also Start Kissing your Husband for 10 Seconds everyday, Instead of that standard quick peck. How can regular couples improve their own bedroom behavior? Dr. Berman says it starts with a kiss. “Kissing is so important and goes by the wayside so quickly,” she says. “Remember in the beginning of a relationship, you can’t stop making out with one another? Women, in particular, love that. It’s part of their erotic template —what turns them on.”Dr. Berman has a homework assignment to help couples get in the mood. “Start giving your partner a 10-second kiss at least once a day,” Dr. Berman says. “You’ll be surprised to see what a difference it makes and how long it feels compared to what you normally do.”Dr. Berman says the emphasis should be on kissing for the sake of kissing. “The only time that women get kissed in a long-term relationship is when it’s a prelude to sex. So you want to make it not about sex but just about kissing,” she says. “

I came across this book and found it utterly hilarious. Although it doesn’t come out till the end of October, It just might be this decades “The Rules.” So for those women out there who are just dying for a proposal… This book just might be for you.
What’s a gal to do when her man’s giving her everything she wants except a ring? This irreverent guide will help the marriage-ready woman evaluate the severity of her not-so-ready man’s excuses for delaying marriage and sharpen her abilities to dismantle them. With a funny but firm hand, Lori Uscher-Pines, who herself maneuvered for a ring from her now-husband, offers the reader serious tips for securing a marriage proposal from the excuse-ridden, free-milk-gulping man she loves.
Buying the Cow in the Age of Free Milk includes:
*How to know if it’s really time to push for a ring
*The difference between me excuses, you excuses and institution of marriage excuses
*The “severity” scale of common male excuses, and the associated tactics for changing his mind
*Behavior fouls not to make on the quest for a proposal
Pushing for a proposal is about female empowerment, and this must-have guide will help the reader take control of her personal life without giving up the romantic, “then-he-got-down-on-one-knee” moment she’s always imagined
