Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you." Thomas Jefferson, a Founding Father of the United States
A rather confident man walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance, and then casually looks at his watch for a moment. The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?" "No", he replies, "I just bought this stateof-the-art watch and I was just testing it."
The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?" "It uses alpha waves to telepathically talk to me," he explains. "What's it telling you now?" "Well, it says you're not wearing any panties..." The woman giggles and replies, "Well it must be broken then because I am wearing panties!" The man explains, "Damn thing must be an hour fast."

Gambling: What are HEALTH - One End to the Other the odds that you'll Try A Smile Researchers found smiling can reduce stress levels and lower the heart rate while performing difficult tasks. Writing in Psychological Science, the authors tell how they studied the effects of different types of smiling in difficult situations. Tara Kraft, of the University of Kansas, said: "Age old adages, such as 'grin and bear it' suggest that smiling is an important nonverbal indicator of happiness. Those who smiled after stressful tasks showed a decline in heart rate and faster recovery from stress." So folks, say “cheese”!
Say The Dog Did It? A team of physicians studying flatulence write that one of the most common places to pass gas is on airplanes. Seriously? Gas expands at higher altitudes, and just when you are elbow to elbow with 300 strangers. You can hold gas doctors say if it's only for a short time. It will give you time to move to a restroom or a more convenient place where there are fewer people to bomb. Holding gas over a longer time can cause bloating, indigestion, heartburn and even pain. The truth is that gas is a part of digestion and everyone releases a half to 2 pints a day on average. Whether you are aware of it or not, this gas will exit the body as you sleep or even cough or sneeze. If you have a serious flatulence issue, talk it over with your health care provider (or become self-employed and move out to the country). Excessive gassiness can be a symptom of irritable bowel syndrome and lactose intolerance and often results from eating foods like beans and cruciferous vegetables.

win?
Most Americans enjoy going to a casino or even to their local bar to have a cocktail and take a shot at hitting it big on the machines. Maybe you do too. Another option is gambling from the comfort of your home over the Internet. What are the chances you'll win? Thanks to public data detailing Internet gambling, a Wall Street Journal study provides some answers. The chances of being a winner on any day aren't too bad. Occasional gamblers won money on 30 percent of the days they wagered. But remember, continuing to gamble significantly lowers those odds. Just 11 percent of frequent players ended in the black over a two-year period. Want to know the real skinny? Most ended up putting less than $150 back into their pockets. Big losers of more than $5,000 outnumbered big winners of the same amount 128 to 1. Ouch! About 95 percent of heavy gamblers were big losers. They made the largest number of wagers over the two years and 95 percent of them lost money. Of the 4,222 customers analyzed in anonymous records, just 119 big losers provided half of the online casino's take and 10.8 percent provided 80 percent. To check the results, The Journal asked the University of Michigan and the University of Connecticut to analyze a private gambling database to which they have access. They checked 18,000 holders of loyalty cards at a Native American casino. The findings were very similar. So what’s the moral of the story? Play for fun folks and if you feel that you have a problem there’s always gamblersanonymous.org!

An Amazing Sniffer A blind man walks into a restaurant and sits down. The waiter, who is also the owner, walks up to the blind man and hands him a menu. "I’m sorry, sir, but I am blind and can’t read the menu. Just bring me a dirty fork from a previous customer. I’ll smell it and order from there."
608- 754-5600
You can build any future you want if you let yourself grow, have faith in your dreams or visions, and become open to new ideas. John F. Wasik, journalist, author and business consultant
A little confused, the owner walks over to the dirty dish pile and picks up a greasy fork. He returns to the blind man’s table and hands it to him. The blind man puts the fork to his nose and takes in a deep breath. "Ah, yes, that’s what I’ll have, meatloaf and mashed potatoes." Unbelievable, the owner thinks as he walks towards the kitchen. The cook happens to be the owner’s wife. He tells her what had just happened. The blind man eats his meal and leaves. Several days later, the blind man returns and the owner mistakenly brings him a menu again. "Sir, remember me? I’m the blind man." "I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize you. I’ll go get you a dirty fork." The owner retrieves a dirty fork and brings it to the blind man. After another deep breath, the blind man says, "That smells great. I’ll take the macaroni and cheese with broccoli." Walking away in disbelief, the owner thinks the blind man is screwing around with him and tells his wife that the next time the blind man comes in he’s going to test him. The blind man eats and leaves. He returns the following week, but this time the owner sees him coming and runs to the kitchen. He tells his wife, "Mary, rub this fork on your panties before I take it to the blind man." Mary complies and hands her husband the fork. As the blind man walks in and sits down, the owner is ready and waiting. "Good afternoon, sir, this time I remembered you and I already have the fork ready for you." The blind man puts the fork to his nose, takes a deep whiff, and says, "Hey I didn’t know that Mary worked here!" FACEBOOK.COM//WHATSUPXTRAMAGAZINE

Peter responds, “I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." The teacher replies, "That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table. And you Little Johnny are you able to use your intelligence for once and show us your good manners?" Johnny proudly answers, "I would say 'Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, who I hope you'll get to meet after supper.’”

JANUARY HOROSCOPE ARIES: Your creativity may push you in one direction while your common sense pushes you elsewhere. Options surround you and choices need to be made, so be careful. TAURUS: When you seem to be out of sorts with your coworkers, remember that they could be backing off instead of discussing matters with you. Shape up. GEMINI: Avoid focusing on strange news. Trying to get to the bottom of the misrepresentation is a waste of your time. Soon the right news, if there is any, will be told. CANCER: The stars predict that you will have a lucky year. That could be true, but you know where good luck actually comes from. It's the byproduct of hard work. LEO: Get your goals and thoughts organized for 2014. What you do now can affect your future. The connections you make can also inuence life-changing decisions. VIRGO: In 2014, life will proceed as you had imagined, but it may take longer than you expected. Be patient, honest and keep yourself at the highest level of integrity.

SCORPIO: The New Year is a good time to take stock of your health and what steps you can take to preserve it or improve it. Don't be too busy to save your own life. SAGITTARIUS: Yes! There's travel in your future. Could be in state, across the country or around the world, but it's time to create your plan or revisit one you already have. CAPRICORN: The year begins at a hectic pace, but you'll ďŹ nd new energy to deal with it. Changes at work can turn things around, giving you the motivation to move ahead. AQUARIUS: There's a sparkling sheen over your world with blue skies and all. You're also in a forgiving mood, or maybe it's just that you refuse to be bothered. PISCES: Even though you're busy at work, part of you is sailing a sea. If you let your mind visit there every so often, you're sure to make your deadline.
It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings. Ann Landers, was a famous personal advisor
"Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass." "Well then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the lawyer said. "But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree." "Bring them along," the lawyer replied. Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us also." The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!" "Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered. They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine. Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you." The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place; the grass is almost a foot high!"

The Negotiation
Weather Report
A married couple is travelling by car from California to New York.
New York, Hollywood, and Las Vegas perform here," the Manager says.
Being seniors, after almost eleven hours on the road, they were too tired to continue and decided to take a room. But, they only planned to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road.
"But we didn't go to any of those shows," the husband said.
When they checked out four hours later, the desk clerk handed them a bill for $350.00. The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He told the clerk although it's a nice hotel; the rooms certainly aren't worth $350.00 for four hours. Then the clerk tells him that $350.00 is the 'standard rate'. He insisted on speaking to the Manager.
"Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replied. No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, the husband replied, "But we didn't use it!" The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the husband gave up and agreed to pay. As he didn't have the check book, he asked his wife to write the check.
The Manager appears, listens to him, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that were available for us to use.
She did and gave it to the Manager.
"But we didn't use them," the husband said.
"That's correct. I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with me," she replied.
"Well, they are here, and you could have," explained the Manager. The Manager went on to explain that the couple could also have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. "We have the best entertainers from FACEBOOK.COM//WHATSUPXTRAMAGAZINE
The Manager is surprised when he looks at the check. "But ma'am, this is made out for only $50.00."
"But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager. "Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."

It was two o' clock in the morning and a husband and wife were asleep, when suddenly the phone rang. The husband picked up the phone and said, "Hello? ... How the heck do I know? What am I, the weather man?" and promptly slammed the phone down. His wife rolls over and asks, "Who was that?" The husband replies, I don't know. Some guy who wanted to know if the coast was clear."

La La’s Love Letters Dear LaLa, I am thinking about proposing to my girlfriend in the very near future and I was thinking about doing it over breakfast in bed. She said she has always fantasized about this, so I thought it might be a really romantic and personal proposal. My only problem is I’m not much of a cook and I don’t have a clue as to what to make. If you could have one meal in bed, what would it be? Maple Syrup
make some things she likes. Then, the icing on the cake is going to be the card. Within it, detail how awesome you think she is, and really impress her by pointing out her cute quirks and habits (again, showing that you’re paying attention).
Dear Maple, That’s really sweet that you are making your girlfriend’s dream a reality. Breakfast food is really easy to throw together, but even if you are a total mess-up and burn the meal, don’t worry about the food! As long as you prepared it with heart, she is going to be overjoyed that you did that for her. As for your question, I actually like to stand when I eat, but I suppose I could see myself cramming a sammich as an after-sex meal.
Dear Joe, Thanks! Well, because there can be lingerie without love.
By Lauren Strec
Dear LaLa, I’m sure you’ve gotten this question before, but I really need some advice. I’ve been dating my girlfriend for a year now and I have no idea what to get her for our anniversary! She is so awesome and I would like to give her something really special, but I don’t make a lot of money and I can’t afford much. I don’t want her to think I’m cheap, so help! Broke Brett Dear Brett, If you’ve been dating her for a year, she probably has an idea of your income, and I doubt she will think you’re a cheapskate if you throw together something small, but meaningful. Don’t discredit yourself: you can get really creative on a budget. Women love it when their man can “prove” that he is really into them by remembering things that they enjoyed. It shows that he’s been paying attention! So, all we have to do is tap into her interests. Get out a piece of paper, and starting thinking of all the activities that you have done over the past year. As you revisit each date, try to remember what you two talked about. Did she like a certain movie, was there something that made her laugh hysterically, or was there ever something that reminded her of her childhood? On the same piece of paper, also start writing basic “favorites:” color, song, band, movie, etc. And for what you can’t remember/know, find ways to ask her. Once you have everything in front of you, you will be able to match up some things to put together a package. Jump on eBay to find a DVDs, hit up the Dollar Store for her favorite color wrapping paper, or see if you can even
The Late Bloomer
A girl came skipping home from school one day. "Mommy, Mommy," she yelled, "we were counting today, and all the other kids could only count to four, but I counted to 10. See? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!" "Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde?" the girl said. "Yes, it's because you're blonde," said the mommy. The next day the girl came skipping home from school. "Mommy, Mommy," she yelled, "We were saying the alphabet today, and all the other kids could only say it to D, but I said it to G. See? A, B, C, D, E, F, G!"

Dear LaLa, I just wanted to start by saying I am a huge fan of your column. With that being said, I think I have a question that just might stump you LaLa! If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? Joe
Dear LaLa, I think my husband is going through some sort of a mid-life crisis. He mostly just wants to just lie around, drink beer and watch the golf channel. I of course feel like I have hit the prime of my life and no matter how sexy the lingerie or how charming I am he’s always turning me down. I love him to pieces and I’d never leave him, but I have needs! I’m ready to go find myself a young hottie on the side, but just the thought of it overwhelms me with guilt. Any ideas before I take the plunge? Julie Dear Julie, I don’t know if it is a mid-lie crisis… that just sounds like a typical dude to me! I read that you have made advances, but have you straight-out told him that you’re actually suffering? He may not know how intense your needs are, and it wouldn’t be fair to cheat on the guy if he didn’t understand how critical the situation is. This is what I would try, if I were in your position. Throw a couple beers and mugs in the freezer, and while he is watching golf, wait until his current beer is getting low. Then, pour a couple frosty brews (one for yourself-- tough it out of you don’t like beer), hand one to him and sit on the opposite end of the couch. If he asks any questions, keep your answers short and nonchalant until a commercial break. When that time comes, turn to him and say, “I have a serious problem, and I am hoping that you can help me. I think you have the best unit in the world, and I have been craving it like crazy lately. You’re the only person who can help me with this situation, so you’re going to have to bang me really soon.” Then slam your beer and walk away.

"Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mommy?" "Yes, it's because you're blonde." The next day the girl came skipping home from school. Mommy, Mommy," she yelled, "we were in gym class today, and when we showered, all the other girls had flat chests, but I have these!" And she lifted her tank top to reveal a pair of 36 Cs. "Very good," said her mother embarrassed. "Is it because I'm blonde, mommy?" "No Honey, it's because you're 24."

What’s Hot In Sports
The 2014 Winter Olympics: February 7-23 at Sochi, Russia Mikaela Shiffrin will be skiing into the spotlight. An 18-year old American girl is well-known in Austria and other European countries, but in the United States, and even in her hometown of Vail, Colorado, few people recognize Mikaela Shiffrin as the winner of the slalom world championship in Austria. In that country, world champion Alpine skiers are super stars.
when the 2026 Olympics roll around.
Two-time Olympic medalist Picabo Street thinks Shiffrin has as much ability to win in Sochi as Lindsey Vonn, the American favorite. And, she's young enough to be competing
In Shiffrin's second full season on the World Cup tour last year, she became the youngest slalom World Cup champion since 1983 and the first non-European to win four World Cup slalom races in one season, all while balancing a full load of homework. In June she graduated from Burke Mountain Academy, a boarding school in northern Vermont with a ski-racing focus. "She's a phenomenon," four-time Olympian Bode Miller says. "They don't come around very often, and when they do, it's a pleasure to watch. She doesn't get flustered. She performs consistently. Those are the people you want to bet on." In February, all Americans will have a chance to see her compete, so be sure to tune in!

Book Review
Great by Choice How to does your business survive in times of change and chaos? Can it achieve success when all around are burning to the ground? The answer is maybe. If it is possible, authors Jim Collins and Morten T. Hansen aim to steer you through it. The book is based on a dataset that ended in 2002, well before the 2008 meltdown and subsequent business turbulence. But, the lessons the authors present should apply to any condition of uncertainty and disruption. Among the questions they attempt to answer: How does a business thrive in uncertainty? The book takes on several truisms in business with surprising results. Is innovation always the key to success in turmoil? Not really, the authors say, pointing to 'scaled innovation' as more likely to succeed. Does a rapidly changing world and business environment require lightning fast decisions and turnaround? Not really. Go fast, get killed. Or Go fast when necessary and not get killed. Does radical change affecting a business market mean that you also must radically change to be successful? Not really. Successful business test cases showed that many successful businesses changed less than the world around them. Does pure good luck characterize success? Nope. The best companies have had lots of luck, good and bad. Key is to respond properly to good circumstances, or luck. The authors cite some very interesting business and life anecdotes and studies to support their many finding about success in chaos.
Great by Choice by Jim Collins and Morten T. Hansen, Harper, 304 pages.

The Lighter Side NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION NUMBER 1: QUIT SMOKING Two guys are standing in Times Square at New Years. The famed ball has just dropped heralding the beginning of a brand new year. First guy says, " Hey, can I bum a cigarette?" Second guy says, "Wait a minute! Didn't you just tell me you resolved to quit smoking?" First guy says, " I am keeping my resolution and I am in Stage One." 'What's that?" his friend asks. "I have quit buying."
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION NUMBER 2: LOSE WEIGHT A lady welcomes the New Year and dutifully makes her top resolution to lose weight. To do that, she decides she will be completely honest about what size she is now.
