If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?
Is there another word for synonym?
Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice?"
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?
Would a fly without wings be called a walk?
If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections?

Lessons in life
I've learned that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

Marital bliss
Marriages today are a hotbed of infidelity. I've seen enough marriages to realise that the way way to be happy in a marriage is by not expecting anything from your partner. Just yesterday I came to know of this couple...mid 40s, 2 grown up children...apparently they same in the same house but everything inside is seperate..seperate rooms, seperate utensils, everything...makes me wonder why they are even living together. The daughter had apparently run off and got married....again I wonder what made her believe in the institution of marriage...institution..as in mental institution. There are at least 5 other cases like this in the building where I stay...and in all I've noticed that women dont cry over broken relationships...even if their husbands are seeing someone else..the women just move on, do something worthwhile with their lives..they still need that institution for society but for all other purposes, they have no attachment to it. I think it's wonderful.

Confessions of an Obsessing Mind
I woke up at 5 am to see the time and saw the date..today is the 25th...its like almost a month since the BREAKUP...i suddenly felt very sick...I just couldnt understand the deeper meaning to it....why am I like this?Why can't I forget?Surely this is not the end to the r elationship?I always felt it would last for a very, very long time. He has cut me off completely. I tried to call him last friday, he didnt even answer...then I tried his office number..had some luck with that..at least he didnt slam it..just said a hi...I really need to rush, I wanted to call back, but just tooo busy, I'm just letting things be for the moment and bye...tht's it...lasted for a whole minute i think..Well, I certainly havent got him out of my system...every hour, everyday,every week....yearning, longing, obsessing about what hes doing, who is he with...but there is a limit to what I can do...I do not have the powers to read his mind or control his feelings. I do not know why God is putting me through this....if this relationship is meant to end here, at least He should help me in ending it and moving on..which He is not doing...everyday He reminds me and everyday He makes me realise that there was none better than him..all I can think of is how to get him back and when he is coming back, waiting for some kind of miracle to happen..because I dont believe this is the end..it can't be.God help me.

Some quotes about men
All men hear is blah, blah, blah, blah, SEX, blah, blah, blah, FOOD, blah, blah, blah, BEER. -- Dennis Leary
My ancestors wandered lost in the wilderness for 40 years because even in biblical times, men would not stop to ask for directions. -- Elayne Boosler
Why did God create men? Because vibrators can't mow the lawn. -- Madonna Dangerous Game (1993)
Women speak because they wish to speak, whereas a man speaks only when driven to speech by something outside himself -- like, for instance, he can't find any clean socks. -- Jean Kerr
If you never want to see a man again, say, 'I love you, I want to marry you. I want to have children...' - they leave skid marks
-- Rita Rudner
Men are simple things. They can survive a whole weekend with only three things: beer, boxer shorts and batteries for the remote control. -- Diana Jordan
See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time. -- Robin Williams
I like to wake up each morning feeling a new man. -- Jean Harlow

Finding peace
Knowing one's self
both the good and the bad
and understanding
none of us are perfect
and allowing for and
forgiving yourself
for shortcomings.
An acceptance of things
as they are
and accepting the inability
to change another person.
No matter how badly you want to
you don't have that power.
The ability to treat each individual
as a equal and a unique person.
Not doing so denigrates
the self and God.
Letting go of being your
own worst critic.
The ability to ignore
the taunts and barbs of others.
It only shows
that which they lack
in themselves.Loving the people
in your life fully and wholly.
Without restraints or limits.
Can it be love any other way?
Accepting that some days
are going to hurt.
And some days will
be hard to find value in,
but it's there
if we can open up to it.
Finding beauty and pleasure
in the small things.
A flower unexpectedly
given or seen.
A walk on the beach
or under the trees.
The stars shining at night.
If we can't find pleasure
in the small things...
the larger ones
will also escape us.
Loving others.
It's a sure sign of peace
with ourselves.
How can we truly love someone else
if we can't find that which
is lovable in ourselves?

Its OK
It’s okay to be afraid sometimes…
Everyone has days when
they aren’t certain.
It’s okay if you lose your courage for awhile.
Sometimes we just need
to lean on another.
It’s okay to be angry for a time.
Anger can cleanse and
heal the hurt within.
It’s okay to be sad today.
Sometimes bad things
overwhelm us.
It’s okay to feel regret.
Sometimes we hurt others.
But
It’s okay to be happy.
You don’t owe anyone misery.
It’s okay to laugh today.
Don’t feel guilty for learning to smile.
It’s okay to want to find love.
The heart is usually the best part of us.
It’s okay to be at peace with your decisions.
Even when others don’t agree
with your choices.
It's okay to speak your mind.
No one else has to agree with you
and opinions can be expressed
without anger.
It’s okay for doing what *you*
feel is right even if
others don’t agree.
You owe yourself, not them.
It’s okay to explore who you are.
You are growing.
Keep learning more about yourself
It’s okay to just *be* today.
You don’t have to go anywhere or
be anything you don’t want.
It’s okay to dance, to sing the song.
Everyone deserves music in their lives.
It's okay to be happy.
It's okay to love.
It's okay to find peace.
It's okay to be who you are.
