Free Mama Gena’s Owner’s and Operator’s Guide to Men
In honor of this season’s Bloggy Giveaways I’m giving away my copy of Mama Gena’s Owner’s and Operator’s Guide to Men
I went to this Life Coach Shrink in Atlanta to learn about Tapping to get rid of some of my hang-ups about sex and money and marriage (before my Law of Attraction mentor Jeff Howard told me to just go online and learn about it for FREE) and paid $150. One of the things I walked away with was a recommendation for THIS book. When I was cleaning out my office I found it and thought, for $150 I should really get the book and see how amazing it is.
It’s not your Gloria Steinham’s feminist theory or the church lady’s “God says to submit to your man” submission theory. Mama Gena begins with this warning,
This book is by a woman, for women only. This book is simply not for men. . . If you are a man, shut this book instantly.
To win this book leave a comment about men. Maybe you love them, maybe you hate them, maybe you think it’s not about them. Whatever.
This contest runs through Sunday August 3 at midnight. I will announce the winner Monday morning.
Readers warning: Gena uses the word Pussy a lot.

The more I know about men, the more I love my dog! All kidding aside, I’d love to know more about men from another woman’s point of view.

Omgosh this book looks priceless!! My daughter learned the “tapping” thing to relieve her anxiety! It actually worked for her.
Men are a strange breed aren’t they. LoL I’ve been sitting here trying to think of something positive (or at least not too negative) about men and my fingers just stayed put on the keys!!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Right now my opinion of men is they Suck. My husband left me for a girl young enough to be our daughter, so I have male issues.

Men are okay… I could take them or leave them. My fiance… I wanted him, I got him… but now sometimes I just feel like leaving him at Target for a few hours because he bugs me.

Does it include how to train them to put the toilet set down? Or apologize when they’re wrong? If so - I NEED that book! haha!

Men….can’t live with them, can’t kill them. J/K I think men are just large boys. I say all teh time I have 3 boys if you count my DH. I is usually the ring leader to some of the most destructive and mind boggeling excapades in our home!
Karen P
Jul 30, 2008 at 11:38 am
Men, can’t live with them . . . oh wait we’ve had that part listed numerous times. I love my hard working, jean wearing, work boots dragging, dirty hands man, and am glad he came into my life.

I love the one I’m with, but it is for certain that I don’t understand him and I could certainly use a manual!

Men only give 100% when they benefit from their actions in some way (even if it’s only a tiny bit).

I think I need all the help I can get! Mr. “S” and I have set a wedding date for March 4th! We are about to kill each other in the process of paying high dollar rent, paying for a house we are TRYING to get finished so we can move in, paying double electric and water bills….okay…you get the point!!! We have a lot on our plate! The point is…we don’t want to kill each other or give up what we have worked so hard towards BEFORE our wedding day…ya know? I would love to read this book to understand if there are things I’m saying or doing (yes I think I’m the boss and it’s HARD for me to give into him) that gets to him! I don’t want to get to him…I just want to get my POINT across to him!
Wow, I’m sorry…
I don’t even know you but your question really hit home!!!
Hopefully things will chill out after we get in our house and the DOUBLE bills taper off (Oct 1st)!!!! Keep me in your prayers!!!! lol
I’m off to check out MORE of your blog!!!
Thanks for a FUN giveaway!!!

Men can be handy around the house - so I personally HIRE one when needed. I actually just had my weedeating done and had some barbed wire taken down. The guy was CUTE and reasonable -but luckily he went home to his GF when I was through with him! :)

men are not as deep or mysterious as we would want to believe they are. Men are happy with basic needs, food, sleep,sex and play not in that order.

I have decided that hiring a “Honey-Do” man is much better and less stress than being married. You tell them what needs to be done and they do it without arguing or “attitude” or without putting it off until another time. They are cheaper than a husband. You don’t have too feed them or do their laundry. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity enter your contest.
