Fox and Friends on how to land a husband (circa 1955).

Fox is at it again ladies, giving us women advice on how to land (and keep) a husband (since all we are good for is being a man's slave).

On a recent Fox and Friends, a book called: "Single Man, Married Man" was showcased. The book attempts to help women keep their man's interest, since it takes a lot to "hold a man's attention" (I'm pretty sure breasts do a good job at keeping a man interested).

Anyways, the folks over at Fox decided to read a few of the recommendations on how to "float your guy's boat:"
1. "No matter where a woman is in her life, she should always be able to cater to her man's needs."
Oh absolutely! Because all we are good for is catering to an overgrown man-child's needs. It's not like any of us work, have kids, have health problems and or responsibility. "Oh you want me to drop our 2 month old so I can get you a beer and slippers? Sure!" *rolls eyes* Guys, if you think for one second that life revolves around you, you are terribly mistaken.
I'm not saying that we women should not do anything for a man. Of course, make dinner every once in a while, or take him out on a date, but, dropping your entire life in order to please your man is absolutely ridiculous.

2. "When he gets his ego stroked, he will be more inclined to love you more."
Really!? Yes, men love their ego stroked. But, I'm sure the right man loves you regardless of how much you stroke his ego (is that what they are calling it these days?).

3. "Prepare his meals, draw him a bath and massage his feet every now and again."
Going back to the overgrown man-child comment, if he cannot do these things on his own (and he is able-bodied enough to handle the tasks), you don't need him. He is obviously looking for someone to mother him. The last thing you need is to clean up after a man who won't do anything for you.
Again, I'm not saying that you should not do anything for him. I draw the line at fixing my man a bath. Unless he had a ridiculously busy day and he is sore as hell, I won't be helping him out in that area. When it comes to rubbing feet, I have done this for my boyfriend, only when he has a very hectic day at work (he's on his feet all day fixing cars). I don't make it an every day thing, neither should you.

One thing that I know about men, they like their space. The last thing a dude needs is for his woman to be all up in his grill. If he has had a tough day at work, sure, offer to make/order dinner. Offer a back massage, offer to make him tea, etc.
Ladies, you can take care of your man just fine without turning into his slave. Relationships are an equal partnership. If he is making you do everything and not being appreciative, kick his a** to the curb.

As far as this book is concerned, I don't want to advocate book burning, but I'm pretty sure the misogynistic bullsh*t inside the book is highly flammable.
S'mores anyone??

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed. Here is a list of the restaurants that have closed: Bella Luna Mangia Mangia Kati Allo Old Neighborhood Restaurant Amy's Baking Company (YAY!)
