My attention is immediately focused on the plate and then on my wife’s smile. "How does that look dear," my wife asks. "If it’s free, it look’s great." I answered back. My wife sits down at the table across from me and takes my hands in hers, "don’t worry dear, things will get better, just have faith."

"Boy, aren’t we just little Mary Sunshine today, and what is wrong with my uniform?" "Nothing I guess, it’s just the way the day is turning out, I had such high hopes for a job today, to get back to work, at this point I would be willing to take anything."

My smile even broader I look at her, "now you know the meaning of multi-tasking." "Finish your lunch and get out of here I got a lot to do this afternoon." My wife laughs. As I finish my lunch I get up and my wife follows me to the door, I give her a quick kiss on the cheek and ask, "how much of a tip should I leave?" My wife laughs and swats me playfully on the shoulder. "Just leave, I’ve got things to do." She smiles at me as I walk through the door, "and don’t forget the chores on the to-do list, clean the house and do any left over dishes from this morning." "Yes, dear," I smile a little sarcastically. As I get into my car I realize that I have been reduced to a house husband. Thank you twenty first century, working wives and house husbands.

A father inquires whether his boy can construe Homer, if he understands Horace, and can taste Virgil; but how seldom does he ask, or examine, or think whether he can restrain his passions,—whether he is grateful, generous, humane, compassionate, just and benevolent. —Lady Hervey. The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think than what to think,—rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men. —Beattie. Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company, and reflection must finish him. —Locke. A boy is better unborn than untaught. —Gascoigne. Knowledge does not comprise all which is contained in the large term of education. The feelings are to be disciplined, the passions are to be restrained; true and worthy motives are to be inspired; a profound religious feeling is to be instilled, and pure morality inculcated under all circumstances. All this is comprised in education.

Tips on How to Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back - A Little Sneaky But It Works! If you’re anything like me, then you’ve probably had a good handful of boyfriends that turned out to be true flops before you found that one man that really put an everlasting smile on your face.

For example, if you cheated, the cheating wasn’t the core problem; the core problem was what leads you to want to cheat. It’s absolutely vital that you identify what the problem is, and then create a plan on how to beat that problem.
