A. Yes. But i wouldn't recomended to people who matter to me...

Q. Why don't we always let people help us...even when we know we need it?
A. Because they might expect to be helped in exchange and we might not be able to help them. Owed favours (real or perceived) rise a lot of confrontation.

Q. Which attitudes make you think that somebody is haughty?

A.



It's a day people are wearing these. I am, blue ones, I swapped the ugly large shorts for a skirt. I have decided the soccer sock day to fall on May 14 this month.

Tea is a good idea, what strange weather twists, huh? Almost blew me off the hiking trail.

Q. Why is UHT milk so blech. Sticky.

Q: How do you have your tea?

A. Retain key words. Read top lines, middle and bottom as to assess the importance of the info. Reread completely only if necessary.
But.... this book had already been read right ? (considering the date of your post)

Q. While making the Christmas tree, I could hear my father say, across time and all dimensions: lights first, check the bulbs, large decorations at the bottom, where's the tinsel ?
I smiled and checked the lights.... and while doing so, I wondered:
Do the people we love take a piece of our hearts when they leave ? Or do they leave us a piece of theirs ?
