Hey, dianavan, don't beat yourself too hard. Only yesterday I told GUEST,Ooh-Aah in another thread to attempt self-procreation. I was kinda sorry afterwards that I flipped my lid, but this pacifist had had too much.

We also need some humour to help keep perspective; I don't mind brucie's and pdq's "speaking with their mouth full" (that's what you were doing guys, right?). When it comes to perspective/humour, Jeremy Taylor says it for me in his "Reasonable Man".

And you can move from humour back to the seriousness easily. My favorite slogan - wish I'd thought of it - is Robb Johnson's:

"Be reasonable - demand the impossible NOW!"
