On July 20, 1982 in Russellville, Arkansas , my mother re-married an older gentleman by the name of J.C. Clemons Sr. I was turning 5 years old the year that this happened.
A couple of years later we would move into our new home located at 66 Goldmine Springs Road.
From the time of my elementary years until the time that I became an adult, I lived in this home under the guidance of this man.
I won't lie. Not every day was a sunny day in that house. In fact, there were more days of chaos than were necessary. Regardless of how chaotic is was, I managed to learn a lot of valuable information from him concerning women.
Lesson 1: Always pay attention to your woman's eyes when you are speaking to her. There are of one two things that are going on when she is not looking at you. 1. She could not be very interested in what you have to say. 2. She could be hiding very valuable information from you. You'd better hope that it is not the latter.
Lesson 2: Always make sure that you if you have a woman at home raising your kids that you do what you can to separate her from that chaos from time to time. It does wonders for your love life and it helps her to maintain her sanity.
Lesson 3: When it comes to your woman, you have to listen, but you don't have to agree with her.
During odd hours of the day, your woman will want to talk to you. The topics may not be something that generally interest you, but you have to give her your undivided at all times.
This is highly important because if she has to feel as if she has to confide in other men about her problems, it could give old Jody a window of opportunity to try and steal her from you.
Also know that no woman can be stolen from a man unless she was already thinking about leaving.
Lesson 4: Make date night a mandatory night at least 3 times a month. Do it so that you can keep Jody away from your door. Enough said.
Lesson 5: If you get a woman that acts as if she is a human calculator, she will be good at saving you money. Also don't get into arguments over her collections of coupons. You may save more money than you realize.
All of the lessons that I learned from my stepfather proved to be bulletproof.
Sadly, On April 8th of 2010, our family said goodbye to him as he lost his battle with lung cancer.
Our family has not been the same since his absence. I wanted to share his lessons with the world in order to insure that his legacy lives on.
I hope that these lessons are as helpful to you as they were to me.
