The answer for holiday stress

It’s that time of the year when the Mall’s are anxiety producing. I do holiday shopping in as few stores as possible, but I still end up with a headache. The anxiety starts early in the parking lot when you slowly drive your car, following a shopper laden with packages until they arrive at their car. Then you sit and glare at every car who might come close to your newly found parking spot.


Then, in every one of the stores we are bombarded with the music designed to make you want to throw up. From Regis Phillbin to the Chipmunks, we are entertained with thoughts of holiday cheer which are engineered to reflect insincerity.


However, in the midst of all this insanity, I discovered there is a hidden cure for holiday mania. It’s a secret that took some skill to unlock, but I will share it with you. Take a pen and write in large letters ‘STRESSED”. Now recopy the word starting from the D and moving back to the S. 
Behold the divine sign that will point in the direction of your survival. It is a gift from God. Follow what it says and you will have a wonderful time of the year. Just Say’n.
 P.S.  You can only follow this advise until January 1, then you have to go back to the diet. Till then, follow the sign with reckless abandon.

Agree to disagree

The other day I listened to a couple who were obviously having trouble communicating.  The reason I was listening came from their conclusion that if they yelled at each other, they would communicate better. Didn’t really work for them, but for those of us within a half mile, we all heard their conflict of understanding. 
Here are some facts concerning arguments I’ve gathered over the years:

- A single fact can ruin a good argument.
- Do not argue with an idiot; he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
- Never argue with a fool ... he may be doing the same thing.
- Many arguments have two sides, but no end.

 I think disagreement is a good thing, it opens the door to different opinions. But when a person decides they possess the only ultimate truth, then they declare their opinion is the only one that counts. When this happens, I generally leave them and their opinions in another room. Just Say'n.
Here is a fact. People who join our blog are happier people. You can't argue with this until you join our blog. Hit the "follow this blog" button or the Twitter or Facebook buttons. After you do it, then you will be able to formulate your own opinion; but mine is the only one that counts. Just say'n.
