Top Tip

My gf taught me this the other night. I am really pleased that I've learnt it:

Write down all the things that are bothering you, pilling up, or getting on your nerves.

Then, applying the serenity prayer/saying underline each of the things you can change, and all the things you can't with a different coloured pen. Then set about getting it under control.

Priceless!

Mill, seems too simple to me. You had to have analyzed her idea before wrapping your brain around it while you were "pilling" up all the things that were bothering you. Strangly resembles doing a fourth step buddy. Watch out!! I think you're getting sucked back into that dreaded AA syndrome crap again.

PS..Sorry Mill. I just can't bring myself to call you by your new name. Reminds me too much of a Seinfeld episode where George wanted to name his first child...."Seven." ?????????

Hmmm, perhaps like the Hotel California, you can check out but you can never leave

Good to have you back under any name, Mill.

One Love, One Heart,

Wow - a guy who listens to his gf.

Now that's priceless.

Seriously though, she had a good idea.
