My Guest Post up at "The Man Page"

ADVERTISEMENT

From time to time my famous internet friend Derek Semmler lets me write my thoughts in a guest post on one of his top shelf blogs.  Today it’s over at The Man Page.  Derek had some concerns when the public school in Chicago where he lives frowned on him taking his child out for a [...]

Calm, Cool, and Collected to Get Ahead?

I have learned that being frantic and putting a happy face only gets you so far. Why not try being quieter and more of a listener?

My C.A.N. results on all three blogs in August 2008 are detailed below. Some things could have gone better, but that is an “as always” thing. More things went right than ever before. I am very happy about these results across all three blogs.
Check out how I did in August 2008.

Method to Your Marriage?

I want to discuss Ellis’ theory of Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) as it relates to a happy marriage. Let’s face it, when your marriage is thriving and healthy, it feels like you’re taking pure energy pills. I may have mentioned REBT here before but this is a unique way of looking at it [...]

Slip Slide Away Surfing Through Life's Waves

I saw Mamma Mia a ways back with my lovely wife who dragged me there. She’d already seen it 3 times by then so I figured it had to be at least decent. Plus I grew up with the music of ABBA so I knew I might like it. There is a [...]

Young Person's Syndrome and Health Insurance

I remember when I was 18-ish and didn’t think I should be forced to have Health Insurance. By “forced” I mean my employer, then a grocery store, automatically took fees out of my paycheck every two weeks to pay for a plan. I never got sick … I didn’t need any counseling services [...]

Raining one Mile Away

My wife just called me and said it is raining by our house one mile away. Here, there are some black clouds but mostly the sun is poking through. This is kind of like a metaphor for people’s psyches don’t you think? One person will express a rainstorm while another right next [...]
