My eyes are sleepy...
My brain is hibernating...
My nose is drowsy...
My mouth is tired...
My ears are shut off...
The above is a concrete prove of Me wanting to SLEEP.
Went out with Cin yesterday... its been a long time since I met her. Glad I did.
Both of our funds were running low, so we settled for Mac @ Lido. Its been a while since I went there and I keep of miss the slacking around feeling. Hahaa!!!
We chatted,
I complain,
we chatted,
I complain some more,
we chatted more,
and I complained a whole lot before we laughed it all off.
Cin was
rite about 1 thing, sometimes, I just need to complain.
Well, at least that proof that
I'm a Venusian. Hahaa!!!
I missed a call from Fish asking me out yesterday cos my fone was in my bag.
Darn! I miss like a chance that only comes once in a
blue moon!
Now I have to wait for another blue moon...

F***!!! She screwed up again!!! The Researcher did it again!
She changed the specs of the project without informing me!
I have alr sent out the specs to my recruiters!
Now I have to email and call all my recruiters again!
Dancing for U @ 10:58 AM!Y
Todae been trying to get a project dates straight. Currently handling a Recruitment project and the new Researcher is killing my patience... (-_-*) First it was the start date of the project, then its the questionaire confirmation, then its the end date of the project, then its the questionaire not confirm, then its the start date being pushed back and then its the end date being brought forward!!!
I noe its a relatively easy project BUT still time is needed and with nothing confirm and all time being shorten and no grace given!!! I'm soon to be call GOD... (-__-#)
Tommorow I will have 1 more meeting with the researcher to TRY to confirm all aspects of the project and hopefully I will not have any image of deteching her head from her body.

Todae is Music Dae... Songs been coming into my head...When I fall in love it will be forever\Or I'll never fall in loveIn a restless world like this isLove is ended before it's begunAnd too many moonlight kissesSeem to cool in the warmth of the sunWhen I give my heart it will be completelyOr I'll never give my heartAnd the moment I can feel that you feel that way tooI feel that way too Is when I fall in love with youThis is a tune that has been in my head... for these daes cos I've been watching this HK serial. This is the theme for the lovers in the show... It had a sweet ending, with the couple finally together again. But the character that I like had to sacrifice...For all those times you stood by me For all the truth that you made me see For all the joy you brought to my life For all the wrong that you made right For every dream you made come true For all the love I found in you I'll be forever thankful baby You're the one who held me up Never let me fall You're the one who saw me through through it all You were my strength when I was weak You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn't reach You gave me faith 'coz you believed I'm everything I am Because you loved me You gave me wings and made me fly You touched my hand I could touch the sky I lost my faith, you gave it back to me You said no star was out of reach You stood by me and I stood tall I had your love I had it all I'm grateful for each day you gave me Maybe I don't know that much But I know this much is true I was blessed because I was loved by you You were always there for me The tender wind that carried me A light in the dark shining your love into my life You've been my inspiration Through the lies you were the truth My world is a better place because of you This song came to me suddenly... I love the lyrics to this song. Remind me to be thankful to the people around me or rather those that stood by me. Its the theme song for the movie ' Up close and Personal ' . I wanna watch this show. Gonna have to look for it. Dun even noe if there is vcd available... ( -_-")So go ahead and get grown
Call up that chick, and see if she's home
Oops I bet you thought, that I didn't know
What did you think I was putting you out for?
Because you was untrue
Rolling her around in the car that I bought you
Baby, drop them keys
Hurry up, before your taxi leaves
Standing in the front yard, telling me
How I'm such a fool, talking 'bout
How I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I could have another you in a minute
Matter fact, he'll be here in a minute
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I'll have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinkin'
You're irreplaceable
So since I'm not your everything
How about I'll be nothing? nothing at all to you
Baby i won't shed a tear for you
I won't lose a wink of sleep
Cause the truth of the matter is
Replacing you is so easy
Everything you own in the box to left
Don't you ever for a second get to thinking
You're irreplaceable
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I could have another you in a minute
Matter fact, he'll be here in a minute
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinkin'
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I could have another you in a minute
Matter fact, he'll be here in a minute
You can pack all your bags we're finished
Cause you made your bed now lay in it
I could have another you by tomorrow
Don't you ever for a second get to thinkin'
You're irreplaceable
My colleague says she love this song. The tune is something that runs in ur mind. I initially did not pay attention the the lyrics and tot it was a love song saying the person was irreplaceable. Then i found it online and its actually saying she is dumping the guy cos he cheats on her. She saying he is definately Replaceable. I tink its so cool to be so confident.

TodAe is a sunny dae... Lik my coLLeague said yesterdae, " Mr Sun is FinaLLy back from Holidae". The Dae seem to get beta with the sun, but I have a worry that has been looming since last week. And til now,
I'm still not able to get it off my list. Problem? A Fren, Her parents, A Disagreement between them, A situation That I'm partly blamed for, A very harsh scolding, Non-reply messages.
In All, guess I shouldn't have asked of that 1 favor...
After Finding out of Mitch Albom -- For One More Dae, I'm starting to tink back on the Books I read previously by him...
This came Back to me...My old professor, meanwhile, was stunned by the normalcy of the day around him. Shouldn't the world stop? Don't they know what has happened to me?Many a times, I will tink that when I have a problem, the world around would stop. People in my self- construct world would stop all on their hands to help me with my problems, even if it was to juz listen to me grumble. Heaven?what if heaven was not some lush Garden of Eden?Then I realise, they were juz doing me a favor. as time passed... They no longer would have been so willing. Everyone had their own problems, and everyone is finding ways to solve their own problems. Time isn't enough. And they were not in favor of giving you that time that is precious. Then I realise some of these people who form part of my world are leaving. I realise I didn't have much time either. Time is rushing pass and reality hits like a bullet. There are times where what people said should be taken n noted. So is it still Heaven?Heaven is... A place where you had your life explained to you by people who were in it – five people - maybe you knew them, maybe you didn’t, but in some way you were touched by them and changed forever, just as you inevitably touched people while on earth and changed them, too.Sometimes when I'm in my own problems, I forgot about people who have touched n change me. I'm lucky, I guess I'm still in Heaven. Why? Every now n then I still have 1 or 2 people who are willing to touched n change my life. One sentence I remembered vividly from a tutor in my life..." If its a problem but there is a solution to the problem, then its not a problem. "Was it what we call ' Positive Thinking' ? Hmmm... If you ask me why am I writing all This? I dunno... I juz wanted to say something cos I'm frustrated I guess...

SurPRisinG FooD That will Make us feeL GOOD...
Popcorn
Boost your mood the most by air-popping. Using low-fat microwave varieties will work too. Skip the butter, or at least keep it to a drizzle. Popcorn is also one of the best convenience store snacks; it is easy to find a bag with no trans fat and little or no saturated fat. It boosts your energy and is even better for your mood if you add a protein nibble (handful of almonds, string cheese) to go with it. Try this: Shake four to five ounces of finely chopped bittersweet chocolate into your bag of microwave popcorn while it’s still hot. Add a half-cup of sliced almonds for a feel-great treat.
Hahaa!!! So wat about sweet popcorn? Suddenly feel lik eating popcorn... Do they even sell unsalted popcorn @ the cinema?
Pork
Keep it lean, including roasts, pork chops and pulled pork for barbecue sandwiches. Pork is bursting with B vitamins to fight stress. Plus you get a healthy dose of the neurotransmitter choline, which fuels your brain power. A 2006 study from the federal Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University in Boston links adequate choline intake with lower buildup of homocysteine in your blood. Homocysteine is linked to increased risk for heart attack, stroke, dementia and cancer. Lean ham works for the choline boost, but split those orders of bacon or sausage with a breakfast companion to get your choline without too much saturated fat.
Hmmm.... I'm not a fan of pork... This is surprising cos everytime I'm expected to eat pork, I get a little STRESS...
Coffee
A cup or two of coffee (or one to two shots of espresso) before noon is a healthy move for most people, especially devoted coffee drinkers. Research is clear that caffeine enhances physical and mental performance in moderate amounts. A morning latte is both a Feel-Great drink and a treat. Espresso drinks are best because you can be sure of not overdoing it on the caffeine. You are the best judge of how much caffeine is just right and how much turns to jitters, nervousness or that jumpy-mind feeling. For drip coffee, stick between eight to 10 ounces (for the more caffeine-sensitive) and 16 ounces, which is the typical grande size at coffee shops.
The good mood plan strongly suggests drinking the coffee only before lunch, then switching to green tea or water for afternoon beverages. You can figure on three to five additional cups of green tea if you prefer it to coffee.
Does that mean I can have more STARBUCKS! Yippe!


Diet Cola
Surprise. This is a nod to real life. Some people just feel they can’t get by with a daily soda or two. But I’m OK with a diet cola or two in the mornings if that is your caffeine drink of choice. A few provisos: The soda replaces coffee to avoid overdoing it with mood-boosting caffeine. Skip regular sodas, which typically contain up to 10 teaspoons of mood-killing white sugar. Break your afternoon and evening soda habits. Try a week without soft drinks to discover just how much better you will feel. Substitute with water or green tea for post-noon sodas. If you are a carbonated drink fan, then try easing into the new pattern by pouring yourself a sparkling water over ice with a splash of your favorite fruit juice.
Woo... Cool... I Luv Diet Coke!
Fat-Free Milk

This is a
vital feel-great food. Milk has fallen out of favor with too many Americans at the expense of higher rates of depression and mood swings. If, for whatever reason, you have sworn off milk, consider including it in your diet again. Here is an important distinction:
Too many people drink too much milk at one time. That’s what causes many of the reactions to milk. Eight ounces (one cup) is the ideal serving. Space out those servings every few hours for optimal energy. Fat-free organic milk is the best choice. My clients regularly tell me milk tasted better and that “sticking to eight ounces or less at a time eliminates whatever digestive or sinus problems used to occur.” And get this: An Indiana University study showed
nonfat chocolate milk was better energy booster than sports drinks.
Hee... I'm drinkin it now in HoPe That I can grow A Little Taller... Hahaa!!!
Eggs
Despite all of the negative press, the egg is one of the best foods for your brain and your temperament. I recommend you eat one whole egg per day (the yolk contains lecithin, which works wonder for the brain cells), especially in the morning if possible. Prepare it any way you like, but without using butter for frying or scrambling. If your cardiologist recommends against a daily egg and makes a reasonable case for why it compromises your cholesterol levels and heart disease risk, ask how many yolks per week is acceptable to boost brainpower without compromising your cardio health. On days when you don’t eat a yolk, substitute a whole soy food like tofu or edamame (buy these green soybeans frozen still in the pod, steam them and lightly salt for a satisfying snack or even a breakfast side dish).
Not an egg eater either... Do Tie Dan Count?
Hot Cocoa

The phytochemicals found in natural, unprocessed cocoa beans are
positive for lifting mood and lowering blood pressure. But the key is keeping the cocoa powders potent with those phytochemicals after they’ve been processed on the way from the rainforests to your supermarket.
“Dutched” cocoa powders are processed with alkalis to remove the bitterness from cocoa beans. One problem: The dutching process removes the Feel-Great phytochemicals you would otherwise find in cocoa. Find natural, non-dutched varieties (available in most every grocery store).
Drink a cup of cocoa before bed. It will help you sleep, too.
Apparantly Yummy food are Good Food! I'm gonna TeLL my mummy!
Chocolate
The positives of most everyone’s favorite sweet-tooth flavor are becoming more widely known all the time. But there are some mood potholes in your chocolate purchases. Go for dark chocolate over milk chocolate, looking to get 70 percent cocoa if possible. Savor small amounts (three ounces) rather than a larger bar that will rocket your mood for a short while before sending you crashing down. The research link between chocolate and protection of aging brain cells is impressive.
Yeah! HuGE ChOc Fan here!!!
Nuts

Nuts are
flat-out brain food. Researchers have credited almonds and walnuts, for example, with
helping fight Alzheimer’s disease and depression. Here’s an added benefit from nuts, including peanuts, which, technically are legumes: Purdue University researcher Richard Mattes has performed a number of studies related to satiety. He has consistently found that people feel more full—and less jittery, hungry, stressed or all those things—when they eat a handful of nuts before a meal. Nuts do this better than rice cakes (seemingly healthier), pickles (heavier food density) or chestnuts (fattier). Nuts also are well
fortified with the brain-boosting chemical choline.
Nuts about NUTS? Maybe thats y my Brain aint workin to well nowadaes...
Turkey
This is a feel-great staple because of its tryptophan content. Tryptophan, an amino acid, leads to serotonin production and improved mood. Better yet, it enhances cognitive performance during times of stress. You are more alert and less frazzled. A mood-lifting strategy for your lunchtime turkey sandwich is adding a tablespoon or two of olive oil rather than mayonnaise. But don’t skip the oil altogether; you will feel more satisfied and energized with it.
Aint the ChRisTiaN Smart... Turkey For X'mas... Remind me to have mRe this Coming X'mas!
Whole Grains
After years of carb-busting, you are free to roam the good mood carbohydrates aisle at the grocery store. Great choices include whole-wheat bread (make sure it says “100 percent whole wheat” on the label, or that each slice has at least 2 grams of fiber); whole-wheat pasta (lots of good-tasting brands are now widely available); and breakfast cereals with four or more grams of fiber and less than 10 grams of sugar.
High fiber and low sugar adds up to evenness of mood, especially in the hours following breakfast or lunch. As for rice, go for brown whenever possible to gain fiber and protein.
Expensive fOOd aRe ReALLy good... turkey... CereaL...
Grape Juice
Grape juice it has
similar polyphenol properties to red wine, which researchers are connecting to
healthier hearts and reduced stroke risk. While that alone is enough to boost your mood, a study published this year indicates that the purple stuff helps hold off —
and even reverse— brain aging. The Tufts study evaluated the brain-boosting effect in rats, but researchers were clear that they anticipate comparable effects on humans. The key is drinking 100 percent juice with no added sugar and the skins included. Many popular brands qualify, including Welch’s.
MoRe Red Wine for Me! And who says aLcohOL is bad for health!!! Hahaa!!!

This Article definately caught my attention. Ways to trim that TUMMY...Foods
Best:Beans and berries. White beans, blackberries, dried apricots and winter squash are high-fiber winners, says John Allred, PhD, professor of nutrition in the department of food science and technology at Ohio State University in Columbus. Not only is fiber great for weight loss because it makes you feel full, but it also prevents constipation, which can make your belly look larger. Aim for 25 to 35 grams (g) a day. Note: If you're not used to eating high-fiber foods, increase your intake slowly and spread it throughout the day. Too much, too fast can cause bloating and discomfort.
Worst:
Anything eaten in excess. Eating too many calories—whether they're fats, carbohydrates, or proteins—can expand your waistline.
Drinks
Best:Ice-cold water. It's calorie-free and fills you up, so you eat less. It can also help flush away premenstrual bloating. Drink it ice chilled, and you'll even burn a few extra calories as your body warms it up.
Worst:Alcohol. Beer and liquor tend to raise levels of cortisol, a hormone that appears to steer fat toward the tummy. You're also more likely to get the munchies when you've been drinking.
Supplement
Best: Calcium. This mineral is essential to keep your bones strong and prevent osteoporosis, which can lead to fractures in your spine. Those fractures produce a slumping posture and a protruding belly. (When vertebrae fracture, the spine and abdominal cavity shorten, pushing the stomach outward.)
If you're a woman age 50 or older, shoot for 1,500 milligrams (mg) of calcium a day. For women under 50 and men, the target is 1,000 mg.
Worst:
"Fat-burning" pills. These so-called wonder drugs promise a trimmer tummy without any mention of the words "exercise" and "nutrition." Your money would be better spent on a good pair of walking shoes!
Sports
Best: Kickboxing, racquetball, swimming (crawl stroke) and tennis (singles). Any type of aerobic exercise will burn off belly fat. But these are rated best because they involve movements—rotating, pulling and swinging—that use the waist muscles too. And they all burn more than 475 calories an hour.
Worst : Bicycling. For abs, that is! Those muscles are not engaged at all. But you do have calorie burn: Biking at a moderate 12 mph pace burns 544 calories. So if you like it, stick with it—just focus on keeping your abs tight as you ride.
Habits
Best: Standing and sitting up straight. Slouching forward accentuates your belly. But good posture is an instant belly flattener—and over time, it will become second nature.
Worst:
Smoking. Those who puff tend to have larger waistlines than nonsmokers and former smokers. The culprit here seems to be cortisol, the hormone of stress (which may itself be fueling the habit).
If want to hide your tummy fast, these debloating and camouflaging tricks can take an inch or more off your waistline in 12 hours.
Tummy Tips
- Drink water. Carbonated drinks and those with lots of sugar can blow your belly up like a balloon, says Peter McNally, DO, spokesperson for the American College of Gastroenterology.
- Skip the chips. Salt makes you retain water, especially before your period. Processed and canned foods also tend to be high in sodium.
- Give your jaw a break. Chewing gum can cause you to swallow excess air.
- Get some java "to go." If you're feeling overdue for a bathroom session, studies show that a cup or two of coffee can get things moving.
- Shape up underneath. Body shapers, or high-waisted spandex waist nippers and panties, can take off an inch or more. The more spandex (Lycra) they contain, the more control you'll get. Note: Excess bulge can squeeze up and over, so avoid clingy tops, says Jan Larkey, a Pittsburgh-based image consultant and author of Flatter Your Figure (Simon & Schuster, 1992).
- Buy the dress that fits now. Forget sizes! No one will see the tag, but if it's too snug around your middle, you might as well yell, "Hey, check out my belly!" Show off your strongest feature to draw attention away from your tummy. Great arms? Go sleeveless. Tina Turner legs? Wear a shorter hemline. Sexy shoulders? Choose thin—or no—straps. If you prefer a dressy suit, choose a long jacket worn over a straight, slim skirt.
Hopefully these tricks work. Hahaa!!!

I heard Mitch Albom had a new book and I was interseted to noe wat is it about...
The author himself said that it involves a ghost so it can be considered a ghost story. Curiousity... I clicked on...
The general glist... For One More Day
Pauline “Posey” Benetto raises her son bravely as a divorced woman in the 1960’s. The boy, Charley, never really appreciates her sacrifices, spending much of his life chasing the elusive love of his father, who left when Charley was 11.
The book begins on the night when Charley, now a middle-aged alcoholic whose family and work life have disintegrated, decides to take his own life. He makes a midnight ride to his small hometown, staggers into his old house, which he believes to be abandoned, only to make a startling discovery: his mother, who died eight years earlier, is still living there, as if she never left.
The two of them then embark on the “one more day” that so many wish they had with a lost loved one – a day to ask question, seek forgiveness, and reexamine the life you thought you had.
A little excerption: to be precise - a Sentence that caught me...
There is everything you know and there is everything that happens. When the two do not line up, you make a choice.
A little comment written by another author...
"If you had the chance, just one chance, to go back and fix what you did wrong in life, would you take it? And if you did, would you be big enough to stand it? "
Here is the whole excerption

Read This on the net. Tot this Article brings back lots of tots n start you tinkin. Its a good advesary to most too... It doesnt only apply to couples bt Frens as well. Who doesn’t love those first idyllic months of a new relationship? You’re enamored, giddy and can do no wrong in one another’s eyes. But then
whammo! One not-so-fine day the bubble bursts.
He forgets a major commitment or she shows up an hour late for the third time and suddenly, instead of kissing, you’re sparring. Hello, reality.“I tell couples that their first big fight is actually the real beginning of an intimate love affair,” says Dan Neuharth, Ph.D., a licensed marriage and family therapist and author of Secrets You Keep From Yourself: How to Stop Sabotaging Your Happiness.
“Until you face – and resolve – your first major feelings of disappointment, you have an untested relationship that hasn’t yet had to develop real depth.” In other words, a little disagreeing might actually bring you
closer.
But that’s predicated on
handling it like two mature adults.“Given enough time, every partner will do things to disappoint or hurt you… none of us is perfect,” says Dr. Neuharth. “What matters is not that fights happen… it’s how you negotiate and repair them that’s the secret to a long, healthy, passionate relationship.”With that in mind, check out these hints for surmounting your first squabble (so you can get to your first makeup session faster).
1. Don’t name-call or finger-point. Think twice before blurting out “You’re being a complete idiot” or “This is all your fault” the minute things get heated. Why? Because even if it’s true, placing the blame squarely on your partner’s shoulders won’t resolve the fight. Instead, your sweetie’s defenses will be triggered and communication will likely be cut off.
“Nothing escalates a fight faster than responding at a purely emotional level. It leads to a test of wills and boils down to who’s right, not what’s really wrong,” says Jennifer Komitee, 34, New York, NY.
And if this is how you two start your fighting dynamic, it doesn’t bode well for arguments down the road. “The more your fight contains things like name-calling instead of listening, getting personal and blaming, the more challenges you will facing the inevitable disagreements that arise naturally when you’re part of a couple,” says Dr. Neuharth.
2. Keep absolutes out of the conversation. Words like “always” and “never” don’t belong in a first fight, and the minute you introduce them into the conversation you risk
polarizing yourselves. “You never listen to me” or “You always put me last” may be what you’re thinking, but chances are,
it’s not “always” the case. In fact, there were likely more than a few times in those first glorious months when your honey was hanging on your every word and skipping important work or family events to be with you.
So give the absolutes a rest. You haven’t been together long enough to pass universal judgments.
3. Use “I” messages. “If you find yourself starting many of your sentences with ‘you,’ your partner will probably get defensive or attack back,” says Dr. Neuharth.
“Instead focus on your own feelings, needs and desires.” Try saying, “It would really mean a lot to me if got to know my friends,” or “I feel hurt when you cancelled our plans at the last minute.”
This kind of phrasing is especially important in a first fight because you’re still learning about each other and you need to let your partner know what you hope to get from the relationship.
4. Take a brief timeout. Sometimes the best thing you can do in a first fight is to take a moment (or longer) to cool off and collect your thoughts. “I know I have the tendency to get a little out of control when pushed too far, so in my first fight with my now-fiancé, I removed myself from the situation by taking a 45-minute shower,” says Diane Cornell, 27, New York, NY. “I not only came out really clean, but also in a much better place to discuss the issue like a mature, aware woman rather than an emotionally reactive girl.”
A good separation tactic, advises Dr. Neuharth, is to say, “I see we both feel strongly about this and I value your opinion, but I think I need a little break. How about we stop talking for 10 minutes (or 30 minutes, an hour) and then reconvene?”
One caveat: If you agree to a fight hiatus, you must come back and talk about it again after the timeout is up!
“Don’t just sweep it under the rug,” warns Dr. Neuharth or the issue will be 10 times worse when it resurfaces…and
it will resurface. 5. Fight together, not against each other. Arguments are adversarial by nature, but the more you can work towards a solution together, the better the survival chances of your budding relationship. One helpful technique in a first fight can be to actually
call out what’s happening. “As soon as one of you realizes you’re in a fight, say something like ‘Hey, I think we’re having our first fight,’” says Sam Hamburg, Ph.D., author of Will Our Love Last? “Then go somewhere, sit down across from one another and take turns talking… you can even time it so you alternate back and forth, each getting one uninterrupted minute at a time.”
Dr. Neuharth also suggests offering comments like, “What are your thoughts about this problem?” or “How do you think we can work together to fix this?”
Inviting discussion and joint problem-solving can help you stop fighting and start solving. 6. Focus specifically on the issue at hand. When you’re first learning how to fight as a couple, it’s
important to try and resolve one issue at a time, not turn this single incident into a what’s-wrong-with-our-relationship free-for-all. “Describe what your partner did as specifically as possible rather than painting it as a character issue,” says Dr. Neuharth.
In other words, “You took away the remote without asking me and changed the channel” is much different than “You are so self-centered and selfish.” And
don’t drag in other grievances that have nothing to do with this fight (i.e. shifting from the remote control to how your honey is almost always a little late for dates). You don’t want this one issue escalating into an all-out war.
7. Don’t take this as a sign to end the relationship. You may suddenly find yourself thinking mid-fight, This isn’t worth it…it’s over, but making a decision about your budding relationship at this volatile moment is a bad idea. “When a couple has its first fight,
partners may feel dismayed, shocked, betrayed, afraid, sad, angry—or even that all bets are off in the relationship,” says Dr. Neuharth.
Why such a strong reaction? Because the fight has
shattered the illusion of perfect harmony you had up until now. Rather than throw in the towel, recognize that this is a
learning opportunity, not a matter of win-lose survival, says Dr. Neuharth. Chances are you’ll get through this…and many more fights down the road.
Everything happens for a reason? Nope. Everything happens because we can't bring ourselves to put our emotions under control. A spatter of hurtful words and there will be injuries. Sometimes scars that can't be healed...
