Self-Medication

I’m going to concentrate only on positive influences. Starting tomorrow. I’m going to burn sage and eat chocolate.

People are just fed up with the Obama administration – that ‘hope and change’ thing, said retail manager Nadine Leder in Milwaukee, Wisconson.

(Yes, people are fed up with that “hope” thing. It’s horribly tiring.)

Participants who tested positive for depression consumed an average of 8.4 servings of chocolate per month.

The Fudder Pucket Apology

The Fudder Pucket Apology

One of the things I hated most as a child was being bullied to apologize. It wasn’t the apology itself that hurt, but the humiliation of being forced to apologize. Usually, the thing being apologized for was manufactured by my siblings; the alleged wrongdoing was done by me in self-defense. Almost always, when a “real” apology was needed, I would have apologized on my own.

It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them.
Quotation from P.G. Wodehouse, The Man Upstairs

The best apology against false accusers is silence and sufferance, and honest deeds set against dishonest words.
Quotation from John Milton
