Did you really buy her a Bikini and a Toaster???

Chris Keenan’s Media Release

Why would a man buy his wife a bikini for Valentine‘s?

Is there any relationship more emotionally charged than marriage? Blending two different lives provides ample opportunity for emotional triggers to be set off by one another. These triggers are often unknown to us until they are revealed in situations like a wife getting a bikini for Valentine‘s.

Chris will share with your listeners

  • what 2/3 of all men dread
  • how women can get the gifts they want and a husband who’s happy to buy it for them
  • the erroneous belief that women have about men that cause both parties incalculable grief
  • the most important thing a man can do to drastically improve his marriage instantly
  • what men can do to “limit the damages” when they do buy their wife a bikini for Valentine’s, or birthdays, or even Christmas

Chris Keenan, the Relationship Man, is the author of “The Emotional Shopping Mall.” It’s a mall full of emotions instead of products where people learn to understand the different “emotional buying patterns” that commonly create problems in relationships and how to eliminate their negative impact.

This Cop’s Ready for the Media!

“Never a Cop Around when You need One, Eh? Well here’s One who Is.”

Judging by how many folks have questions when they pin some poor officer down at a social event and skewer him for a ticket they got two years ago, there are obviously lots of questions out there about what cops do.

Steve Pomper

Finally! Steve Pomper, an Active Duty Police Officer and author of, “Is There a Problem, Officer? A Cop’s Inside Scoop on Avoiding Traffic Tickets,” (The Lyons Press, 2007) chats with folks about issues related to cop-citizen interactions.

Discuss:

Police work is like the old “Iceberg” metaphor: You only see 10% of what cops do; the other 90% often remains a mystery, when there is usually a simple—and non-sinister—explanation. When they find out Steve’s a cop, they’re surprised; they think he’s unusual among cops. Remember, cops are different on and off duty—and there’s are very good reasons why.

Find Out:

  • Why do six cops show up for a simple traffic stop, or suspicious person investigation?
  • Why did the cops stop the guy just walking down the street doing nothing?
  • Why did the cops have to be so rough with that person?
  • Why don’t cops shoot to wound?
  • Why do some cops seem so rude?

Veteran police officer and author Steve Pomper discusses the everyday questions people have about what cops do, in a frank and honest way. To contact Steve for an interview email: stevepomper@stevepomper.com, or phone: 206-579-2824, or visit www.stevepomper.com
