Are you a morning person? Would you like to become more of one? One of the ways to become more functional in the morning is to get rid of all screens in the bedroom. That means no phones, laptops or television before bed.

The last few days I've focused on the female side of relationships, today I focus on what men need to hear from his significant other.

When it comes to relationships, I need all the help I can get, lol. But I got to thinking, I can't be the only guy that's horrible at it. So I searched the internet high and low for things a woman likes to hear her man say to her. I've come up with the top 11.

Oh the things that stress us. There's a new poll out that's found the top 10 questions that stress us out. In a world riddled with big problems, to me these seem so small in comparison.

Not all, but many smokers surely don't mind flicking a cigarette butt on the ground or emptying a car ashtray on the side of the road. These are generally good people, but for the life of me, I can't understand why they don't consider this litter. This inconsiderate act causes our city and state to look like crap.

You know the saying, 'This Too Shall Pass' is not from the Bible. I bet there are many sayings that you've heard or said all of your life that you probably thought were from the Bible. I sure was surprised, as I'm sure you will be as well, to find out that a bunch of these very God-like sayings or not Godly at all.

I know you see this too, people who mow their yards but will NOT mow their ditches. To me, mowing the yard is just a waste of time then. I can't see your yard or your house because of the 6 feet of grass in your ditch forming the world's ugliest curtain in front of your house, so why even bother cutting any of it?

Lafayette roadways, like every other city in America, are inadequate. However, some of our problems have to do with our drivers. Acadiana, it's time to get off the phone and drive!

The good things in life are hard to achieve and had to get. The bad things are easy. As with comedians, it is easy to be dirty funny, difficult to be clean funny. When something comes easy, it's probably not worth it.

Get out your can opener, I'm about to open up a can of worms. Thou shalt not judge is not a commandment in the Bible, but it should have been. I don't know much about much, but the Bible taught me a long time ago that God was the one who had final judgement, not humans. So why do so many people try and play God, everyday?

You hear it all the time, people blaming other people for their failures and crap in their lives. My life sucks because I had bad parents, I grew up poor, I didn't go to a good school my teachers were awful, etc. At the end of the day, YOU are solely responsible for YOUR life.

I ran into a young man a Walk Ons, a popular sports bar in Lafayette, this past Sunday. Or maybe I should say, he ran into me. Obviously, his parents forgot to teach him the meaning of manners.

Three simple rules for a great life. When you read them or hear them, you'll think, well those are simple. If that's all you have to do for a great life, this life will be a piece of cake. But we break them all the time. If they're so easy, why do we do it?

Everybody's trying to find the fountain of youth. Facelifts, expensive creams, fillers, you name it. Actress Sophia Loren, as you know, is a gorgeous lady even at 84. She says she's found the fountain of youth. Want to know her secret?

Johnny Carson was, is, the greatest talk show host to ever hit the airwaves. He was smart, funny, shy, yet arrogant enough to pull it off. He can never be replaced. In his time, he shared his philosophy about having the right job and what you could gain having the right job. And it wasn't just about the money.
