Calling All Angry Women!
 LASH OUT, LADIES! You too, guys! My next book, CLEAN LIKE A MAN2 - The Relationship Edition, needs your input for "The Ex Files" - stories of housekeeping nightmares you've experienced with former mates - or even current ones. Both sexes are fair game! Send your anecdotes to tom@cleanlikeaman.com. We'll even include your name unless you wish to remain anonymous. |
It's a fact, Jack!

Dishwashing made easy.
Wrong  | An automatic dishwasher uses less water and energy than washing dishes by hand. So load up your unit and hit the "on" switch. Then kick back with your remote, your beverage of choice, and the rich sense of satisfaction you derive from being so "green."

C.L.A.M.'s June Book Review
|
"The 3-Ingredient Cook Book"
Ninety-six percent of women say that "Having a meal cooked for me turns me on." That's why you should start cookin'...letting her watch you in action and feeding her lots of wine (the ultimate hors d'œuvre) as you work.
For most men, I'd suggest The 3-Ingredient Cookbook. There are at least eight of them with this title, and many 4-ingredient versions too. We're talking thousands of recipes from appetizers through main courses and desserts. The recipes are simple, the shopping list is short, and you can virtually no-brain your way to a decent meal.
IMPORTANT: with enough good wine in her by mealtime, your wife or date will be really happy no matter what things taste like.

Please forward to a friend who needs cleaning/organizing help: a clueless husband, college-bound lad, bachelor, or suddenly-single dude.

Best wishes and good cleaning,

Relationship Tip
of the Month*
| How to Shop With Your Wife, and Like It!
 Any sentence that contains the words "men" and "shopping" will never include the word "love." You're much more likely to find words like "irritating," "boring," and "what the hell am I doing here."
Like dog years, there are "man shopping minutes" - one seems like seven. On the other hand, seven minutes seem like one to females in a retail space. They are truly in their element, especially when the scent of a bargain is in the air.
Studies say that women are just hitting their stride around 45-60 minutes into the shopping adventure - the very point at which males start to crack. That creates your basic cobra-mongoose situation.
There are plenty of reasons for this, and some solutions, too...

 My dog Coco last week, right after she finished a half triathlon (1 mile swimming, 50 miles biking, 13 miles running). The little nipper is exhausted, but still ready to chase the ball. What a rockin', rollin' K-9!

New, Improved Clean Like a Man Edition Hits Street
|
 The world of housekeeping was abuzz last week when the latest edition of Clean Like a Man came off the presses.
Besides its snazzy new cover, the book adds a planet-saving Green Cleaning chapter, "Guylights" sections that sum up each chapter's high points, and content that has been painstakingly updated.
Author Tom McNulty hopes it will outsell the Bible, but indicated that he will be far from heartbroken if that doesn't happen. "I don't need more papparazzi swarming around, anyway." he said in a recent interview. "They are really starting to annoy me and my entourage. Or is it 'I' and my entourage?"
Autographed copies of the new book are available now on cleanlikeaman.com. You can also order from Amazon.com.
