When Walt Disney died (1966), why didn't Mickey Mouse inherit the empire?
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
One nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people.
If pro is the opposite of con, is progress the opposite of congress?
How much deeper would the ocean be, if sponges didn't grow in it?
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why do people who know the least know it the loudest?
If a man speaks in the forest and there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong?
If you drove your car at the speed of light, and you turned your headlights on, would they work?
Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
If all those psychics know the winning lottery numbers, why are they all still working?
Deja Moo: The feeling you've heard this BS before.
Make it idiot-proof, and someone will make a better idiot.
Why isn't the word 'phonetic' spelled the way it sounds?
If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow,
how cold is it going to be?
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again...it was probably worth it.
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's intolerance.

I am reading The Four Agreements (a Toltec wisdom book) by Don Miguel Ruiz.
It makes sense to me. It is short, relatively simple; I'm not to the end yet.
I may read it a lot. It is a way of transformation.

If you're in the mood to be mad, be sure to catch the video of CHP cop
beating a black woman on the LA Freeway today our country's birthday.
In unrelated news:
That evil piss-ant, Joran van der Sloot has managed to marry some crazy
... woman ... who is pregnant with his child.
All I can say to her is, "Sweetie, I hope you're an aspiring actress,
just doing this as a publicity stunt."
... oooOO}{OOooo ...

OK. I know this is RWED, Not Psychology Today. In general, I find
psychology more interesting than news & politics.
We all know someone who can't say "No." The kindly, agreeable
doormats of the world. (AKA Victims, but very helpful ones.) I
believe it's a learned & ingrained habit driven by fear/guilt more
than pure weakness.
It is destructive mostly of the person who practices it. But as the
problem creates misunderstanding, it often hurts others as well.
Is anyone else interested in the topic?

The ‘Can’t Say ‘No’' Syndrome: A Deadly Hazard to Your Health by Yaz Rooney
http://yazrooney.wordpress.com/2012/11/04/the-cant-say-no-syndrome-a-d
eadly-hazard-to-your-health/
"Are you one of those people that everyone depends on; one of those creatures who just cannot say ‘No’ when the cry for help comes your way, even when you desperately want to decline your services?"
Oonj: the article above mostly describes the female domestic "slave,"
who's always in demand as a babysitter & may do the housework in the
bargain. This is not the only role for Yes-folk. More often, I see 'em as
listeners for those who need to dump or need a lot of attention, maybe
a companion on shopping & weekend trips, & if presentable, they may
be required to show up for family holidays & other social events.
They will be called when a friend needs help moving (away, we hope) or
for any onerous chore.

A heavy lift. I will be reading this tomorrow and I will have a chance to get back to you about it. I don't want to throw you a sentence or two and leave it at that. I need to read the article and see what it stirs up or reminds me of. Good topic...

I work with someone like this, and she suffers from constant bouts of illhealth, much of it stress related. She really needs to feel needed, to be the 'go to' person, but takes on too much because of her need to feel liked and valued. It's a real problem.
I think many women in particular have been brought up to accommodate and not complain and not expect anything back in return. Not so much these days, but older women. The article certainly describes how that existed generationally.

Hi there Oonj! Nice to see you.
SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.
