Quirky Random Thoughts... May 31st 2017

I would like my Tombstone to read, "He was too Cheap to buy extra lett When I walk away it doesn't mean you win... it means I'm going to get backup. Stop looking at your phone. No one texted you. If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. Is "tired old cliche" one? Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.  Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire

Pain + Anxiety + Depression = A Challenging Life

Anxiety and depression often go hand-in-hand. What many people don’t realize is that people aren’t just anxious because they worry too much. And depressed people aren’t just sad for the sake of being sad. You don’t control your feelings; the chemicals in your brain control your feelings. After struggling for 27 years with constant pain after being struck by a Jeep as a pedestrian, along with chemical imbalances for both depression (not caring) and anxiety (caring too much), I am thrilled that Prince William and Harry are making the conversation of both easier to begin. This week, I had my ‘big time’ consultation with my expert physician who has quite literally saved my life for 27 years—and after tests, and lab work, and blood level scans—he entered the exam room (me in Birthday Suit) and declared, “Without a doubt, you have the most marvelous hair of any man alive! Really, Dr. Goddard, you have beautiful hair..." That was to help with the pain, depression and anxiety—a

Rather, I must emphasize that they are purely guidelines to enhance our social interactions and experience with Facebook. The fact is that there is  no one-size-fits-all  when it comes to social interactions. So, I encourage all of you to take these with a grain of salt and apply them as you deem fit! Five Dos: 1.
