The first time that some friend tells you to try government as a solution to a problem it sounds like a good idea.

Maybe it will get your neighbor to act the way you want him to. Maybe it will give you an education, or health care.

It sneaks up on you, a little at a time at first. You think one government program won't hurt.

Government helps you and you don't have to pay for the help. A pretty good deal.

But one day it dawns on you: you're hooked. Whatever problem you face, from your not earning as much money as you'd like to the unesthetic design of your neighbor's house to your city's inability to attract an NFL franchise, you turn to government for help.

You're swamped in government programs and you've lost control of your life. You've become a government addict.

It's hard to kick the habit. Being responsible for your own actions is not always convenient. You'll have to make decisions for yourself. Sometimes they are going to be wrong.

Yet being free to choose rightly or wrongly — and to learn from your mistakes — is what being human is all about.

Once you've come clean, once you've broken the habit of turning to government for an answer, you realize that government is the problem, not the solution.

Government is a lie. It promises prosperity and a better standard of living. But it ends up taking from you, controlling you, dragging you down into a seedy underworld of bureaucracy, red tape, and corruption.

Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.

Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.

Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables.

During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.

Be happy to see him.

Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.

Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.

Don't greet him with complaints and problems.

Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.

Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.

Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.

Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

IN ORLANDO LAST WEEK, AT A CITGO STATION, REGULAR GAS WAS PRICED AT
$2.82 PER GALLON, AND NO CUSTOMERS.
HOWEVER, ACROSS THE STREET FUEL WAS SELLING FOR $2.85 PER GALLON AND ALL
PUMPS THERE HAD CARS WAITING TO FUEL UP.
What's going on? Word is getting around!!!!!


Read on: Have you noticed how the CITGO signs have disappeared in the
past 7-8 months? A very clever move by Chavez. But guess what,
"CITGO" IS CHANGING ITS NAME, too...This is serious, Americans,...make
sure you read this very carefully.

NEWS FLASH:
Chavez is NOW getting a Russian Weapons Factory built by Putin. The
RUSSIANS are building an AK-47 Kalashnikov Assault Rifle factory in
Venezuela , to give armament support to Communist Rebel groups
throughout the Americas .

Chavez NOW has IRANIANS operating his oil refineries in Venezuela for
him. It is likely only a matter of time, if not already, before Chavez
has Iranian built LONG RANGE missiles, with a variety of warhead types
aimed at: Guess Who?

CITGO is NOW in the process of Changing Its Name to "PETRO EXPRESS" due
to the loss of gasoline sales in the USA ...due to the recent publicity
of ownership by Chavez of Venezuela.

Every dollar you spend with ''CITGO" or "PETRO EXPRESS" gasoline will be
used against you, your basic human rights, and your freedoms. He will
start wars here in the Americas that will probably be the death of
millions.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT because Chavez is starting to feel the loss of
revenue from his holdings. HE OWNS "CITGO." This is a very important
move that everyone should be aware of.

ANNOUNCED JUST RECENTLY: "CITGO", BEING AWARE THAT SALES ARE DOWN DUE TO
U.S. CUSTOMERS NOT WANTING TO BUY FROM 'CITGO-CHAVEZ', HAVE STARTED TO
CHANGE THE NAME OF SOME OF THEIR STORES TO: 'PETRO EXPRESS'. DO NOT BUY
FROM "PETRO EXPRESS" EITHER!!! 'PETRO EXPRESS' IS ALSO 100% OWNED BY
"CHAVEZ."


BOTTOM LINE...
BOYCOTT "CITGO" & "PETRO EXPRESS" please!!
