Scene 2- Two days later Monday morning Eric is at work talking to one of his co-workers and good friend Nick detailing his weekend. Nick happens to find this intriguing and urges Eric to call Laura. Eric gives in and calls phone rings and Laura answers.

Laura- “hmmm hello”

Eric- “Hello Laura this is Eric”

Laura- “oh hi Eric” she says in a daze.

Eric- “ you sound a little sleepy I am sorry if I woke you.’

Laura- “that’s ok I was about to get up in a few minutes anyway so what’s up?”

Eric- “Well nothing much I just wanted to give you a call and see if we can continue what we started last Friday night.”

Laura- “hmm that sounds great so what did you have in mind for us?”

Eric- “well how about we meet up for lunch on Wednesday say 2:30ish?”

Laura- “That is perfect I get out of class at 1 so I can make it to the restaurant right across the street from the bar by then.”

Eric-“great I can’t wait to see your pretty face again.”

Laura- “aww that’s so cute it rhymes” I can’t wait to see you too. Bye !”

Eric- “Bye”!

Narrator- as Eric is closing his conversation his boss walks to his cubical. His friend Nick warns him the boss is coming very subtly and walks away.

Boss- “I hope that you are closing a major investment deal on that line it would be a shame to assume that you are on a personal call at company expense.”

Eric- (stuttering) uh uh well sirrr uh.

Nick- “sorry to interrupt but Eric you have a client her to see you in th cloddy.”

Eric- “oh Thanks Nick, sorry sir but I have to go you know appointments and you know me always here for the company.” ( phew I never been so happy to see a client in my life like today)

Nick- “here we are Miss here is he gentleman you asked for.

Eric- “Hello I am Eric nice to meet you Nidia!”

Nidia- “hello Eric so this is your place of business huh?”

Nick- Whoa so you two know each other.

Eric- “ Yes we’ve meet before”

Nidia- “Yes I guess you can put it like that.”

Eric- “yes yes it is, how may I help you today”

Nidia- “I like that straight forward let us get down to business.”

Eric- “please follow me to my desk and we can get started.”

Nidia- “Well Eric I am looking into acquiring some prime real estate in the downtown business district for a very important client and I need to know how much funds will be available for him.”

Eric- “well let me start off by logging his information into the computer and we can get started with the figures.”

Nidia- “you look much more distinguished in the day light and your cologne hmm what is that fragrance?”

Eric- “(uh um) “Thank you it is my after shave really.” So what is the clients name.

Nidia - “The Hasboro brothers, Is that an Armani suit you are wearing?”

Eric- “actually it is tailor made”. “So will this account be under the business name or specific persons?”

Nidia- Business That tie really brings out the brown in your eyes.

Narrator- Nick is listening in on the conversation while sitting in the cubical next to Eric.

Nick- “hey Eric can I talk to you for a minute I have a case file I need help with over here. I am sorry Nidia is it? I am going to steal him away for just a min.”

Narrator- they both walk away from the cubical and into an empty conference room. Nick begins to talk with extreme excitement.

Nick- Oh my G-d, Oh my G-d, Oh my G-d.

Eric- “okay let me see that case file.”

Nick- “there is no case file you simpleton ! Don’t you notice this woman is coming on to you.”

Eric- “ what !? no she is not she is a married woman !”

Nick- “Dude those are the best kind and plus I didn’t see a ring on her finger.”

Eric- “yeah you never see a ring on a finger.”

Nick- “With all the hips, lips, thighs, and tits who in their right mind sees a ring?”

Eric- “I do !”

Nick- “I said right mind !”

Eric- “Ha ha very funny I got to get back to work.”

Nick- “Okay but before you go ask her if she has a sister!”

Eric- “sorry about that Nidia.”

Nidia- “Quite all right but it is not polite to keep a lady waiting.”

Nick- (Whimpering in the cubical next to them) “Oh no it isn’t.”

Eric- “once again I apologize let us pick up where we left off and get the rest of the information to get the ball rolling.”

Nidia- “ I am interested in getting balls rolling as much as the next gal but can we do this in a more open environment?” I feel as if we are not alone here.

Nick- (faints in despair) Oh My G-D ! Water, water !

Nidia- “Oh my is your friend okay?”

Eric - “don’t mind him he is just hypoglycemic he hasn’t had his medicine yet.”

Nick- “don’t mind me I’m just a hypo bulimic!”

Nidia- “well then let us schedule a business lunch for Wednesday lets say 12 noon?”

Eric- “sound like a plan to me where should we meet?”
Nidia - “how about the little bistro next to the bar?”

Eric- “Okay let me pencil you in for that day here is my card and brochures please give me a call if you have any questions I hope our service today was to your satisfaction.”

Nidia- “Oh honey you will know if you satisfy me” [she said while licking her lips.]

Nick- “Oh my G-d WATER MORE WATER !!!!!”

Eric- [smiles politely] “Okay have a good day.”

Narrator- As Nidia leaves she looks back at Eric and winks Erick finds that to be a little strange. Right then he remembers he also has a date with Laura at the same bistro. The times are different so he feels as if he will be able to manage it. Nick finally gets up from the floor and congratulates his friend on a job well done. Nick also tries to convince him to pursue this client in a manner that is more than what would be expected in a business relationship.

Scene 3- It is now Wednesday almost 12 noon and Eric is at the bistro waiting. He has prepared his presentation for Nidia and sales pitch. Nidia all of the sudden Nidia shows up in a limousine and ask for Eric to hop in an he dose so.

Nidia- “hey there looks like we are going to have this be a mobile working lunch.”

Eric- “No problem as long as we can get some details handled I am okay. Let us start of with names, income and budget info.”

Nidia- “would you like a drink?”

Eric- “Isn’t it a little early? Besides I am working.”

Nidia-“Oh come on live a little. One glass of wine will not harm you.”
Eric- “well maybe just a little, looking at today’s markets and financial prospects of property it is the right time to buy.”

Nidia- “you know what I really do not want to talk business right now It is such a beautiful day let’s go to the park near the lake and get a carriage ride.” Driver to the park please.

Eric- “But what about this we need to close a deal in order to get this started.”

Nidia- “Oh honey this was started since the night at the bar. As for the business end of things send all that info to me assistant and you can talk about the pleasure end with me.”

Eric- “huh okay but I am sure your husband would not mind that type of talk therefore I would be wise to refrain from engaging in and talks of pleasure.”

Nidia- “My husband he says, more like my father! He is a 85 year old man that can hardly get out of his nurse bed let alone the house. I think you are safe from him coughing up a lung on you.”

Eric-“Wow! I take it there is no love in this relationship.”

Nidia-“Ha ha ha Love Ha ha ha! I am sorry but that was a business proposition not a loving relationship.

Eric- “well then if we are not going to get this deal done right now I must head back to the restaurant to keep up with another appointment.”

Nidia- “Are you sure?” Maybe this will change your mind

Narrator-She leans over and gives him a very passionate kiss on the lips. He doesn’t resist her advance at first but then the driver arrives at the restaurant.

Eric- “Whoa I mean we can’t be doing this you are married none even if it was an arrangement I have to honor that.”

Nidia- “Oh well if you say so I have your card and you have my number as well give me a call when you change your mind.”

Eric- “You are a very attractive woman but I don’t think I will be doing that.”

Nidia- “Oh I see, well you mind may be saying no but mr. happy is saying yes. Tell me one thing before you go is that a stapler in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”

Eric- “uh Em Goodbye Nidia”

Narrator- Eric leaves the car and returns to the Bistro only to find that Laura had arrived early and is sitting waiting for him. As he walks to Laura, Nidia is still in the limo watching him walk towards her then she tell the limo driver to leave.

Eric- “Hi Laura you are here early here I thought I was going to beat you here.”

Laura- [gets up and hugs Eric] “hey what’s up? I got out of class a little early and wanted to meet up with you instead of having you wait for me.”

Eric- “That is great, did you get a chance to order yet?”

Laura- “Not yet I was waiting for you”

Eric- “Okay well let us get started”

The encounter:

Scene 1: Happy hour in an upscale bar. A guy sees a beautiful young lady and approaches her with the intent to get to know her.

Guy- “Hi My name is Eric I could not help but notice you from across the bar and I thought to myself I would like to buy you a drink”

Lady- “Hi well at this time I am not really accepting gentlemen callers but feel free to purchase the drink.”

Guy- “ok what would you like to drink?”

Lady- “an apple martini”

Guy- ‘bartender one apple martini and a Heineken please !”

Bartender- “Coming up!”

Narrator- the bartender serves the drinks the guy pays for them and the walk over to a both and sit.

Guy- “I am sorry but I did not catch your name”

Lady- “ that is because I did not throw it”

Lady-”okay fair enough my name is Nidia”

Eric- “that is a very pretty name for a very pretty lady”

Nidia- “thank you Eric!” (she said while smiling)

Eric- “how is you apple-tini?”

Nidia- “better than this conversation”

Eric- “Well I do know something that can make this conversation more interesting”

Nidia- “Yeah and what can make this a better conversation?”

Eric- “ an intriguing subject”

Nidia- “oh and what might that subject be?”

Eric- “ well you of course” (he said with a grin)

Nidia- “I see! Well you tell me what is so intriguing about me”

Eric - “ well we can start with your baby brown eyes which seems to sparkle in the right light”

Nidia- “Go on”

Eric- “your smile although very pretty it shows a little bit of a hidden mystery behind it.”

Nidia- “Oh a mystery!” “So tell me Eric is that all you see when you look at me my appearance?”

Eric-(Eric clears his throat) “well from my point of view I see a strong independent career woman who had a long day of hammering out major corporate decisions and came her to unwind from a stressful day.”

Nidia- “Very good Eric but I am sure you say that to all the girls” “Care to top me of on my apple martini in order to keep this conversation going?”

Eric- “No problem but you must do something for me”

Nidia- “Oh what might that me Eric!”

Eric - “you must tell me what do you see as you look at me.”

Nidia- “well I see a hunter on the prowl looking for a trophy to mount on his mantle”.

Eric- (laughs) - “You could not be any more wrong the you are right now.”

Nidia- “well then please enlighten me with the truth.”

Eric- “I am an investment banker, eligible bachelor, and all around good guy.”

Nidia - (laughs) “all around good guy!, I never heard that one before.”

Eric- “I kid you not I attend church regularly on Sundays”

Nidia- “Church ! Please Eric is getting late and I believe I haven’t had too much apple martini’s to believe that.”

Eric- I am happy that this amuses you but I am a born again Christian.”

Nidia - “oh really so tell me Mr. good guy why are you at a bar picking up women?”

Eric - “Well I decided to step out of my comfort zone a little in order to find someone I am compatible with.”

Nidia - “why were there to many nuns in your church?”

Eric - (laughs) “No I just wanted to explore a little in order to find someone.”

Nidia - “ well Eric thanks for the laugh and the apple martini, but I do not think you will find anyone her.”

Eric- “well we are having an okay conversation it seems, would I be out of line if I asked for you phone number anc give you a call sometime?”

Nidia- “you are sweet but I must decline Eric for you see that guy out the window in that BMW that is my husband he is here to pick me up”.

Eric- “Husband!”

Nidia- “ yeah but I really enjoyed our conversation and the drinks keep trying you will find someone bye”

Narrator Nidia walks away leaving Eric sitting in the booth alone. Eric thinks to himself with disappointment “ yes I will find someone but it definitely won’t be here.” As he was thinking that a young lady comes and introduces her self to him.

Young lady - “Hi is this seat taken?”

Eric- “no by all means please sit”

Young lady-“Thank you! my name is Laura by the way this is my first time at a bar and you seemed like a nice guy so I came over her to chill.”

Eric- “Whoa ! did you say this is your first time ? Please excuse me for asking but how old are you Laura?”

Laura- oh it’s cool I’m 21, I know what you are thinking I am a little to peppy and I should be hanging out with guys my age. Not an older gentleman like you well I assume you are older how old are you?”

Eric- ‘I just turned 30 years old a week ago.”

Laura- “ wow very mature and distinguished age, I like an older man they are more sensible then guys my age. Most guys my age have only one thing on their minds and they will stop at nothing to get it. I am so tired of the lies and childish games all in order to satisfy their male libidos. So what brings you here tonight?”

Eric- “WOW ! That was a mouth full well I am here to meet, greet, and have a few drinks.”

Laura - “oh that rhymes I love to rhyme I am a cheerleader and Miami University Go canes ! But I am studding to be an interior decorator, but my dad wants be to be in Banking like he is but that is so boring I am very creative and artistic so I have to explore all my options if I am to choose a career that will make money and I love. So what do you do for a living?

Eric - “Well I let’s just say I work with finances.”

Laura- “wow that must be difficult yet rewarding”. Are you going to by me a drink or should I just by one for you I am still new to this I don’t know how it works. I mean I know women today are independent but is it still cool for a guy to buy you a drink or should I get my own”. What type of drink should I get I never had one before, what if it makes me hyper?”

Eric- I will get you the perfect drink for you a virgin Ice tea.

Laura- “Wow that sounds very naughty thanks Eric”.

Narrator they had a few drinks talked and laughed together it is starting to get late and they are winding down to leave.

Laura- “well it was nice to sit and chat with you Eric you were a perfect gentleman. But is is time for me to go I have class a 10 am tomorrow and it is getting late.’

Eric- “ same here Laura I had fun with chatting with you too, You are a very beautiful and energetic young lady”.

Laura- “Aww That is so sweet well here is my cell number call me sometime and we can do this again. Well maybe some where else, I mean I don’t hang out the same places all the time over and over and over again it get boring don’t you think we can switch it up if you want or ewe can meet back here it‘s up to you really.”

Eric- “we’ll figure it out when the time comes.”

Laura- “thanks for the virgin ice teas they were good but next time I would like to have an alcoholic beverage. You are sweet to try to protect me but I can handle my self. Bye call me !”

Eric- “No problem I will”

Narrator- Eric walks home thinking what did just happen here. He went from a married woman to a college student. Well let’s see where this takes him as he plans on calling the student for another a date.

What is the measure of pain when someone distains? Is it the brain that contemplates how you are despised in another’s eyes as if you where born into lies. Or maybe the hearts to blame for being too sensitive not knowing the game love is one big joke. So much emotion can make us choke. Why do we strive to survive when it’s all said and done we all leave the earth exception to no one? To live is to suffer like a suburban mother sending her child to bed without supper. Through music it was made known those who go through hell for diamonds of Sierra Leone. As those around me smoke to ease the stress as a recreational relief the rest still look for better not settling for less. Why fight it? There is no hiding it the more we resist the final answer will always be death.

Don't get physical! (In any sexual way - that's saved until marriage.)
Don't develop Emotional attachments without marriage commitments (you intend to Keep)
Don't make promises you don't intend on keeping!
Don't get involved with Unbelievers or believers not walking with God.

Do wait to start a One person relationship with a person you KNOW you could marry.
Do watch from a distance! Look for proven godly character. Too many can put on a good "show".
Do seek your parent's input.
Do honor God every step of the way in any relationship!

Combat Swine Flu With Biblical Essential Oilsby Rebecca Park Totilo
(Read through for tips, how-tos, and which ones are antiviral)
Modern science has proven that many of the essential oils mentioned in the Bible contain immune-stimulating and antimicrobial compounds that can be beneficial to man. And, because of their complex chemistry in which God created them, this makes it very difficult for viruses and bacteria to mutate and acquire resistance to them. Many have been proven to be more effective than even antibiotics.

Interestingly, even Tamiflu - the now infamous prescribed medication for treating the H5N1 Bird Flu, is made from the extract of Chinese Star of Anise (eight horns). Shikimic acid is extracted from the pods (which wraps the seeds) of the star anise and is the starting material of Tamiflu (Roche Laboratories), an antiviral drug. This particular drug is being offered to patients for the Swine Flu, however, is not effective since this virus has mutated so quickly. In addition to being highly contagious, by the time scientists have formulated a vaccine to treat one strain of this virus; it could have morphed into a hybrid.Unfortunately, this major problem stems from drug companies producing antibiotics in such mass quantities (all bearing the same resemblance), that bacteria and viruses have built up a resistance and mutated into superbugs.

Fortunately, God has provided us with an answer: essential oils. Essentials oils are extracted from the leaves, stems and seeds of aromatic plants, and are in fact, the essence or life-blood of the plant. Each essential oil is unique like a fine wine, and will vary depending on the climate, soil, sunlight and water in which they are grown. Think about this: one essential oil can have anywhere from 200 to 800 chemical constituents. If a virus or bacteria mutates or becomes resistant to one component, another constituent jumps in and stops the bug's progression. That old saying still holds true, "You can't fool mother nature!"

Essential oils have been effective in combating superbugs and stopping plagues for millenniums. In biblical times, the Lord told Moses to stop the plague that had broken out by taking fire and placing it upon the incense containing aromatics and to quickly run through the camp. During the 15th century, a band of thieves robbed jewels off of dead bodies that had died from the bubonic plague. Even while the disease was highly contagious none of the robbers grew sick or died, because they protected themselves by wearing essential oils.

In this complex high-tech pandemic, it would do us a world of good to step back and reread God's original prescription for mankind. Ezekiel 47:12, says God gave us "the leaf thereof for medicine" and in Revelation 22:2 it reads, "and the leaves of the trees were for the healing of the nations."

Here are some easy ways for you to use essential oils to protect yourself and your family from the Swine Flu (H1N1).

1. Everyone knows washing your hands is the first line of defense to staying healthy; however, antibacterial soaps which we all use will not be effective against viruses. By adding essential oils that are rich in monoterpenes with anti-viral constituents such as cypress or hyssop to your liquid non-scented soap, you can help stop the spread of this pandemic. Victorie, Inc., an online aromatherapy business based in Washington suggests adding 50 - 60 drops of essential oil (or a blend of oils) per 8 oz. of liquid soap. Be sure and check the essential oil's safety precautions for skin sensitivity before using.

2. Diffusing essential oils is another important step in reducing airborne pathogens and the spread of flu. Add 5-10 drops of an essential oil such as cinnamon or cassia to pan of water on the stovetop or add to a diffuser. If you have a cool mist vaporizer, you may want to add a few drops of essential oils. Diffuse twice a day for 15-20 minutes to purify the air.

3. If you have a pocket size diffuser for inhalation, add 1-2 drops of an essential oil of your favorite fragrance such as Rose of Sharon or Myrrh. For those who don't have a diffuser, you can add a couple of drops of essential oil on a tissue or a face mask to inhale. Fragrances you may want to include: Cassia, Cinnamon, Hyssop, Cypress, Frankincense, Myrrh, Tea Tree and Galbanum.

4. For disinfecting, purchase an empty 8 oz. spray bottle (plastic will work, but over time may erode due to the oil) and add 60 drops of an essential oil such as Lemon or Tea Tree and/or an essential oil blend. Fill the remainder of the bottle with distilled water. Again, check the safety rating for your oils in my book, "Heal with Oil."

5. If you have multiple empty spray bottles, you may want to create a "linen spray" by adding several drops of your favorite essential oil such as Cedarwood, Lavender, or Spikenard to distilled water and spritz your bed linens and pillow for a good night's sleep.

6. As a mouthwash, add a drop of cassia, clove, myrrh, and/or lemon to water and gargle. If you feel a chill or feverish, do this immediately.

7. To strengthen the immunity system, apply 1-3 drops of Frankincense essential oil to each foot at bedtime.

Here is a list of essential oils that are known for their antiviral properties:
Basil
Cinnamon Bark
Clove
Eucalyptus
Galbanum
Hyssop
Jasmine
Marjoram
Tea Tree (Melaleuca)
Melissa
Mountain Savory
Myrrh
Oregano
Peppermint
Pine
Mountain Savory
Patchouli
Raven
Rosemary
Sage
Rosewood

Please share this information with all your friends and family members. Anoint your doorposts with Hyssop and plead the blood of the Lamb. Begin to diffuse your oils twice a day now.
