03 Mar 10 - 10:59 AM (#2855000) Subject: RE: BS: Five Steps To Happiness From: GUEST I'm gonna put you in touch with a Prince who wrote to me. He has lotsa money to give away. All's he needs are bank details and stuff like that. Small price to pay for about 480 million dollars ($32, 361 after tax). Anyway, let me know. I may have posted the details on the Joke thread because I thought it funny at the time. Looking back, I see this opportunity as a God-send. A marriage of need and ability, of apples and dough, of salt and brisket, of water and scotch, of--forget the water, just make it scoptch and scotch, and of camels and tents. Lemme know about whatever and watch you keep your apadistra flying. Your friend, Youknowwho. |

03 Mar 10 - 12:39 PM (#2855080) Subject: RE: BS: Five Steps To Happiness From: Amos The psychologists seem to have left out a couple of important items. Like, "Be productive", "Be responsible", "Honor Your Word", and "Defend Your Own Integrity". Sloppy work, if you ask me. A |

03 Mar 10 - 11:00 PM (#2855535) Subject: RE: BS: Five Steps To Happiness From: GUEST,leeneia I grew too impatient, waiting for the page to load. So here are my own ideas for happiness: 1. Get enough sleep. 2. Avoid debt 3. Control allergies. Allergies increase the pressure of the fluid which bathes your brain, and that makes you irritable. 4. Make music. Yodel while cleaning the kitchen. 5. When somebody makes a joke, laugh. They will love you for it. 6. Never marry someone who doesn't get your jokes. 7. If you don't have children, get a pet. Not a goldfish, a sociable pet such as a dog or cat. 8. Grow flowers. 9. Keep your car's windshield clean. |

04 Mar 10 - 03:11 PM (#2856129) Subject: RE: BS: Five Steps To Happiness From: Paul Burke 1. Be grateful 2. Be optimistic 3. Count your blessings 4. Use your strengths 5. Commit acts of kindness Unexceptionable. Maybe. But be selective in (1), don't be unrealistic with (2), don't be smug with (3), hope you get the chance to do (4), and remember, no good deed goes unpunished. |

04 Mar 10 - 05:20 PM (#2856221) Subject: RE: BS: Five Steps To Happiness From: Joe Offer So, Mary, your link now leads to the MSNBC main page and has something about men filing sexual harassment claims, and all I can glean from your five steps is that is has something to do with paying off your mortgage and your sending thank-you cards to us. I have to say, I'm utterly confused. Of course, this won't be the first time I've been confused by Mary Sinsull.... So, what ARE these five steps to happiness? -Joe Offer- |

04 Mar 10 - 11:03 PM (#2856459) Subject: RE: BS: Five Steps To Happiness From: Ed T Some say we only recognize happiness long after we are away from it, not while having the experience. So, is it relative to other experiences? |

04 Mar 10 - 11:09 PM (#2856461) Subject: RE: BS: Five Steps To Happiness From: Ed T I have often geard that money does not buy happiness. But, I have also read that this statement was develped by the rich, as a ploy to limit competition? |

05 Mar 10 - 08:22 PM (#2857216) Subject: RE: BS: Five Steps To Happiness From: GUEST,leeneia No money does not buy happiness. Take Caroline Kennedy Schlossberger. Father was murdered when she was little. Mother died in her sixties. (My parents lived into their 80's.) Brother died young. Sounds like the life-story of somebody in a crime-ridden slum. Yet she had money... |
