Is being too nice a bad thing?

I have to say that being nice CAN cost you the "girl" in your younger girls. Although young girls may appear to be quite innocent, they tend to harbor agendas that are offputting to many guys. To wit: they tend to go after the "bad boys." I think that they innately believe that a "bad boy" has superior genes that would make for more competitive offspring. Of course, that's not what the girl's mental dashboard says--it just says, "Bad Boy! Get him!" Now, girls will deny this until Doomsday, but it is the truth. And, no, it doesn't apply to all girls--just 80 percent of them. They will knock down 50 decent guys to rush to the side of a coarse and rough guy who treats girls like dirt. Quite often they end up having a kid or two with this bad boy, and then it finally dawns on them that bad boys aren't very good husbands or fathers. Then they divorce and seek out the kind of guy they rejected for the previous 5 or 10 years. This is a phenomenon exploited by the Harvey Weinsteins of the world.

What comes to mind when you think "Texas"?

I have lived there.

For me: ALLERGIES!

So many irritating plant pollens and molds.

And their justice system could use a little tweaking--too many innocent persons have been incarcerated--and executed.

Would you rather be intelligent and live a lifetime being poor or be not that academic and be wealthy for life?

Knowledge is the greatest treasure.

Knowledge becomes part of your soul, your spirit.

Wealth cannot be brought into the next life.

I have come to the conclusion that people just do not take me seriously or respect me.

You need a good sales person in your organization. Remember--there are competitors by the thousands out there. You have to differentiate yourself from the others. You have to show them that your customer service beats everyone else's.

Inquiries about your product need to be followed up by a glib-talking salesperson.

Nothing just sells itself--not any more!

Relationships are complicated. While you are sorting out a problem is not a time to enter a new one.

Make sure she takes them. Older people are absolutely notorious for failing to take their meds!

The revival of this site is amazing.

Yes, the Helpbot must be slipping. Perhaps it is suffering from depression!

If a person has high blood pressure, and does not take the meds, he/she will eventually have a debilitating stroke.

Hope your mom recovers--and hope you get some useful information from the hospital.

Yes, you ultimately cannot save people from themselves. When people are unwilling to take responsibility for themselves, the only option left is an institution. Unfortunately, it is too difficult to institutionalize people these days--due to budgets and civil libertarians crying about "rights."

So we don't provide those people with the help that they need, and they perish. That, according to the civil libertarians, is more humane than putting them in psychiatric hospitals.

I disagree.

I just think if he died intentionally he would have spoke to me first.

I dont even know thats what happened, it might not be, this is why i need to know the report.

From the news article, I would deduce that he had drugs in his system. And that does not lead to rational thinking.

The recovery rate from drug addiction is not very high--something like 3 percent.

There are certain things we will never know on this side of death. But I commend you for trying.

But remember--at some point--to let go.

My advice: be good to yourself. Get yourself something you like. See a good movie--even if it's at home on television or a DVD.

What are your mom's prospects for recovery? Was she taking her blood pressure meds before?
