Someone told me this : “Guard Your Heart, it is not for you to simply give away.”
And i remember what i used to think.
I have to get over this. And the only right way is to get back with God, my lover Jesus is waiting for me.
Not the other way. Not the slope that will cause me to tumble and fall and get bruises.

The mobile high-tech threat: Smishing
What's the best way to disguise a phishing attempt so no one can tell where a request for personal information or a password really came from? Easy: Send it via text message.
"Smishing" is the name being given to the not-entirely-new but growing practice of sending phishing come-ons and scams via SMS message. And spammers are apparently finding it an increasingly easier proposition to text a phishing message to you rather than to email it traditionally.
Why's that? You've probably received hundreds or thousands of phishing emails and immediately saw through the ruse: Images were broken, the "from" address was wrong, words were misspelled, or links in the message were obviously directing you to phony websites. There are dozens of things that phishers have to get right for an email scam to fool anyone, and that's apparently quite difficult to do. Making things even tougher, many of those emails are now blocked by ISPs and spam filters and never make it to their intended targets.
Those problems don't really exist at the SMS level: Very few SMS messages are blocked, and since they are composed entirely of text, no images required, it's often impossible at a glance to determine if a message is real or fake.
One popular smish threatens the user that he is about to be charged for something unless he cancels it, with a message like: "We're confirming you've signed up for our dating service. You will be charged $2/day unless you cancel your order by clicking here: phonysite.com." Of course there are no pending charges, and the site you're directed to is completely fake, its goal being to collect your credit card number (which you will helpfully enter in order to "cancel" the charges), or install a bit of malware on your computer (or even, someday, on your phone).
Smishing messages may instead direct you to call a toll-free number in order to complete or cancel some financial transaction, the only difference being that a human operator will handily take down your credit card or bank account number for you, to save you the trouble of typing it online. Of course, the number you called is phony, too.
What should you do if you receive a message you fear is a smish attack? The answer should be pretty obvious but bears repeating: Virtually no credible financial institution, utility, or other business will communicate with you via SMS with the exception of your cell phone provider. Don't recognize the website or phone number being sent to you? Don't call it. If you're worried about an upcoming charge, contact the service provider or bank directly via means you know are legitimate and ask them directly about the message. They'll likely tell you what you already know: Just ignore it.

The Worst (And Most Common) Etiquette Mistakes
Party Poopers When you receive an invitation to a dinner or party--whether by Evite, voicemail, or casual email--RESPOND. Yeah, that’s what that little “RSVP” thing means. Everyone knows it, yet it’s amazing how many don’t respond. Even for weddings! Planning a party or event requires a lot of work, so do the host a simple favor and let them know if you're coming or not.
Nickel & Dimin’ How annoying is it when you go to dinner with four or more people, the check finally arrives, and one of your meal companions begins to divvy up the check down to the last penny? Sure, we get that Sally had a shrimp salad, and Janet had two iced teas, while Beth only had water, and you ordered a slice of peach pie (a la mode, which is extra). The point is, if you go out to dinner with a group, be prepared to split the bill more or less evenly. If there's an outstanding cost differential, fine, estimate it and be done with it. The person who spends twenty minutes dividing the bill to the dime comes off as a cheapskate –- and kills the festive mood.
The Line-Up Lines are a fact of life. At the post office, the supermarket, just about everywhere these days. For starters, moaners who huff and gripe about standing in a line of three people for all of five minutes are tops on our list. Get over yourself -- if you don’t have a few minutes to wait to buy that loaf of bread, then pick it up another time. Another thing: Don’t show your impatience by creeping up so close to the person in front of you that they can feel your breath. Crowding those around you will not get you to the front any faster, so give them some space. Finally, cutting in line or trying to ignore the fact that there IS a line –- stop it! Everyone’s time is valuable.
The ME Show It’s great to hear all the crazy, wacky, wonderful things happening in the lives of others. Jobs, engagements, breakups, boyfriends, puppies, pregnancies, vacations — very good stuff, all of it. But once you’ve listened to a friend, family member, or colleague spout about their own fabulous life for an hour (or two), it’s normal to expect them to ask, “So, what’s going on with you?” Those who blab on about themselves while you listen intently, then don’t ask a thing about you in return are just plain rude.
Baby Biz Changing a poopy baby diaper around others is nasty -- and we're moms. Changing the other kind of baby diaper in public is one thing, but still should only be done when absolutely necessary!
Mobile Madness As much as we love the modern age, there are days when we long to go to a coffee shop, movie theatre, bookstore, or post office and not hear some teen queen dishing to her friend about last night's hot date with Todd or eavesdrop (unwillingly) on a screaming family feud. Mobile phones are essential, but please, people, pleeeeeeease, use a little restraint on the when's, what's, and where's. We're happy that Todd is "totally built" but we're going to have to start walking around town and slapping people with "TMI" tickets (yes, too much information).
Smokes Everyone has a right to smoke in public, but be conscious of whose face your smoke is blowing into. Are there kids nearby? And we just might kick the butt of the next person we see throwing their burning butt on the ground without putting it out. Really, find an ashtray or trashcan where you can extinguish and dispose of it properly -- that thing is garbage, not decoration for our streets and sidewalks.
The Pee & Flee Public bathrooms get used by everyone -- yup, they're public! So, making a mess of the toilet seat, and then prancing out without bothering to wipe it up -- not cool. Leaving a mess for the next visitor is completely unacceptable (and disgustingly unsanitary, of course). Take 10 seconds to rip off a piece of toilet paper, toilet seat cover, or a paper towel, and do your due diligence!
Stealing...a parking spot, that is. Yeah, you know who you are. If someone has their blinker on and is patiently waiting for a spot, it's theirs. And if you've already passed a spot up, it's gone. Treat others as you expect to be treated, and the parking goddesses will smile down upon you... eventually.
Belly Baring Men, women -- anyone who's passed puberty, everyone who isn't lounging poolside or oceanside -- resist the urge to bare those bellies. They may be beautiful, Buddha-like, jolly, but sometimes they can be flabby, hairy, and not ripe for public consumption. If you're jogging, fellas, t-shirts or tanks won't hurt your workout, so throw one on. Gals, midriff fashions are never really on our "Do" list, and that goes double if your age doesn't contain the word "teen." There are plenty of ways for all of us to flaunt what we got without sharing our tum-tums with the world.
Spitting This gets especially yucky when it's one of those enormous globs that looks like it could be alive. Some people (males, in particular) think it's kind of a cool-guy thing to do. We're here to tell ya that no one wants to see you hock a big gooey one out of your car, onto the sidewalk, or anywhere else for that matter. Try a tissue.
Honking Problem People who honk too often, too unnecessarily, or just to express their emotions are on our list of Most Etiquette Challenged. If you're trying to warn someone about a collision or problem, fine, otherwise it's not that serious. Give it a rest!

Signs He's Over You
Sure, guys are supposed to be the tougher sex, but when it comes to breaking up with a chick, we turn into serious wusses. Of course, we know the right thing would be to sit you down and say, "Listen, it's over." But no -- instead,
we use passive-aggressive tactics in the hopes that you'll hate us so much, you'll pull the plug first. We use passive-aggressive tactics in the hopes that you'll hate us so much, you'll pull the plug first. Some clues your guy could be taking the coward's way out...
1. He Doesn't Do What He Says He Will
Yes, it's true: You usually have to ask guys about 10 times before they'll actually help you put in those bathroom shelves -- that's typical. But when he promises to go with you to a friend's party and then bails or doesn't call when he says he will, that's a problem. "When I started losing interest in my ex, I intentionally became really flaky," says Bruce, 24. "I just didn't feel like going out of my way for her anymore."
2. He Keeps Asking You, "Are We Okay?"
Let's be honest here: Single men hate to talk about relationships. So if he starts suggesting weekly powwows, take notice. "I didn't want to just flat out break her heart, so instead, I tried to hint that I wasn't the right guy for her," says Jack, 32. "I'd ask, 'So, what do you want for the future?' Since I knew she wanted a guy who could take care of her financially, I'd say something like 'I don't want to be a VP someday. Money is overrated.' After enough of these talks, she realized I wouldn't be the rich husband she wanted."
3. He Makes You into the Bad Guy
Your guy starts constantly choosing his buddies over you... and yet, he says you're the selfish one. It's called deflecting. "I'd been wanting to break up with my girl, but I couldn't bring myself to do it," explains Tyler, 28. "So instead, I made it seem like she was a rotten girlfriend by telling her she wasn't giving me enough of her time or accusing her of cheating." See how it works? Eventually, you'll be dying to free yourself from his incessant harping (or so he hopes).
4. He Makes Comments About Attractive Women
Look, no guy is stupid enough to go on about how sensual some random chick is in front of his girlfriend... unless, of course, he's trying to be inconsiderate. "Once I knew it was over, I just stopped censoring myself," says David, 27. "If I were watching a music video on TV, I would say that I'd never seen a body so perfect. I knew it upset her, but I just didn't care at that point."

Dating Relationship And Romance
If you have been dating for a long time then sooner or later you will cross from just dating to something more serious and it will turn into a full fledged relationship, but how do you know when this happens? Are there are special signs that tell you, you have crossed that threshold?
While not everyone will know or be able to follow up on the signs, there are signs that could indicate that what you have is turning from more than just dating to a relationship. One of the biggest signs that you are heading into something more serious than just casual dating is if the other asks you to meet their parents. Being asked to meet the parents is a sure fire sign that the other wants to take what you have to a deeper level and develop the relationship into something stronger.
If the other declares that they wish to give up dating others and wants you to do the same and just date each other exclusively, then this is another good indication that the other is setting their sights on something a lot more meaningful than just casual dating. A good indication and warning signs that this could happen is the casual asking of the other if you are seeing others.
Another sign that things are changing and this is one that many fail to give any thought too is the change to your dating schedule. For example if previously you were going out a lot to romantic dinners, going out on elaborate dates and generally being a lot more romantic than the dates you are going on now, then this could be an indication that the two of you are moving into what has been called “The comfort zone”. The comfort zone means that the two of you are settling down in front of the TV to watch a movie in comfortable clothing while sharing take away, while there is nothing wrong with doing this if its what you both enjoy, if it is a big change from the type of dates you shared in the beginning it could be a clear indication that the relationship is developing into something more comfortable and deeper.
One clear indication that you are moving into the relationship stage instead of just dating is if you have a argument and you don’t think that this is the end of the relationship, but instead know at the back of your mind that you will work things out.
While these are just of the biggest indications that what you have is turning into something deeper and stronger there is nothing that can tell you better than following what’s in your heart. The most important thing is that you are happy with the way things are going and if you are not ready to move into the relationship stage then be sure to make this clear before things go too far.

The Claim: Never Blow Your Nose When You Have a Cold
The Facts
Blowing your nose to alleviate stuffiness may be second nature, but some people argue it does no good, reversing the flow of mucus into the sinuses and slowing the drainage.
Counterintuitive, perhaps, but research shows it to be true.
To test the notion, Dr. J. Owen Hendley and other pediatric infectious disease researchers at the University of Virginia conducted CT scans and other measurements as subjects coughed, sneezed and blew their noses. In some cases, the subjects had an opaque dye dripped into their rear nasal cavities.
Coughing and sneezing generated little if any pressure in the nasal cavities. But nose blowing generated enormous pressure — “equivalent to a person’s diastolic blood pressure reading,” Dr. Hendley said — and propelled mucus into the sinuses every time. Dr. Hendley said it was unclear whether this was harmful, but added that during sickness it could shoot viruses or bacteria into the sinuses, and possibly cause further infection.
The proper method is to blow one nostril at a time and to take decongestants, said Dr. Anil Kumar Lalwani, chairman of the department of otolaryngology at the New York University Langone Medical Center. This prevents a buildup of excess pressure.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Blowing your nose can create a buildup of excess pressure in sinus cavities.

Celebrate Valentine's Day without stuff
You don't have to splurge on fancy gifts to show your partner how much you care. With a little creativity and some advance planning, you can have a romantic Valentine's Day that's all about celebrating your relationship (not simply accumulating more stuff).
Here are some new twists on old standbys (all are light on the planet and most are easy on your wallet). Choose between DIY versions and store-bought in each category.
Massage
> Give your partner a spa-quality rub. Learn how by watching this short video with tips from a National Holistic Institute teacher. Get instructions for Thai, Ayurvedic, and other styles. A bottle of sensual massage oil is a nice added touch.
> Buy a gift certificate at your local spa. Better yet, book a couple's massage and spend the afternoon together.
Chocolate
> Make mouth-watering chocolate truffles. Mark Bittman says it's "incredibly easy" and not time consuming (an all around win-win). Watch "The Minimalist" at work and get his recipe.
> Buy an Edible Chocolate Box. Your sweetie can eat the box after the delicious chocolates inside are gone so nothing goes to waste. You also can't go wrong with any organic or fair-trade certified chocolate.
Flowers
> Team up with your kids and create a floral watercolor or collage for mom or grandma.
> Sign up for a flower share at your local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program and your loved one will think of you every time she or he picks up these fresh, local flowers. Or give your honey one fresh flower a week for... a month? or two? You decide. Look for buds that are organic or fair-trade certified.
Poem
> Write a poem. Not your thing? Copy one by hand. Visit Poetry Daily for American poetry or search for classic love poems from the likes of Whitman, Cummings, and more at Poetry Foundation.
> Buy a poetry book and read some poems out loud. (Or, for a no-cost option, borrow from the library.)
Treasure
> Have a V-Day date night at the museum and check out the ancient coins and other priceless treasures.
> Pick out interesting or quirky vintage coins at your local flea market, drill a hole at the top, and string onto silk thread. (You can often find coins with holes already in them.)
Dinner
> Prepare a homemade meal using seasonal, local, and organic ingredients. Don't forget the organic wine and beeswax candles!
> Linger over a romantic meal at your favorite restaurant.
