After 30 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counseling.
When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married.
On and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable – an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured.
Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, he embraced and kissed her long and passionately as her husband watched – with a raised eyebrow.
The woman shut up and quietly sat down in a daze.
The therapist turned to the husband and said, "This is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?"
"Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays I golf."

I'm more of a
front stabber.
We have been thinking for some time that North Korea acts like China's pitbull; wondering how to convey that to our Follies readers in a cogent message.
Lo and behold, our favorite writer, Mr. Victor Davis Hanson, wrote the answer this week:
China plays the proverbial no-good neighbor (I’ve known one or two) who cuts loose the tether on his pit bull, soon hears a commotion in your environs, wanders over to your farm to express both shock and regret that his man-biter “somehow” got loose, sort of apologizes, and then, once you get the message, leashes the crazed dog and trots home — until he seeks even greater chaos next time.[Hanson concludes his piece with these thoughts]Ultimately, China alone can pressure North Korea, and America alone can pressure China.It is time to stop lecturing both about what is supposedly in their long-term interests.We must accept that both nations do what they do because — at least in the short term — they like it and see benefits from it.The aim of the United States is to disabuse them of such thinking, while speaking ever more softly with an ever-bigger stick.
Finally, some good news:
Rep. Steve Scalise
Discharged From
Hospital, Now
Begins Rehabilitation
Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., who was critically wounded after a [progressive nut-job] gunman opened fire at a congressional baseball practice in June, has made progress in his recovery and was discharged from a Washington, D.C., hospital on Tuesday.
Scalise, the third-ranking Republican in the House, is in "good spirits and is looking forward to his return to work once he completes" intensive inpatient rehabilitation, MedStar Washington Hospital Center said in a statement.
Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift,
That's why we call it
the present.
