Monday Motivation: Control your temper

Oh, this one is something else. If you’re one that tends to lose your cool, even in the smallest way, today is your day to control yourself. You could even make it a week long project.

Grab yourself a stress reliever and squeeze the life out of that thing. When your boss or co-worker does that thing he does, inhale, and keep your cool. Students, focus on the books.

Even if you simply stub your toe on the chair that wasn’t there, let’s just try to push through it. I know I’ve spent a good two minutes yelling at the leg of my bed for getting in my way. I know; I’m talking to myself in this post.

We’re gonna get through this. I’ve never had a temper problem…although I have been told I can get a little out of hand when it comes to my sisters’ safety. I’ll keep my cool.

Let’s get going!

Weekly Funnies 30

Three guys died and when St. Peter met them at the pearly gates, he said, “I know that you guys are forgiven because you’re here. Before I let you into Heaven, I have to ask you something. You have to have a car in Heaven because Heaven is so big. What kind of car you get will depend on your answer.”

The first guy walked up and St. Peter asked him, “How long were you married?” He answered, “24 years.” “Did you ever cheat on your wife?”, St. Peter asked. The guy said, “Yeah, 7 times … but you said I was forgiven.” St. Peter said, “Yeah, but that’s not too good. Here’s a Pinto to drive.”

The second guy walked up and got the same question from St. Peter. He answered, “I was married for 41 years and cheated on her once, but that was our first year and we really worked it out.” St. Peter said, “I’m pleased to hear that. Here’s a Lincoln.”

The third guy walked up and said, “St. Peter, I know what you’re going to ask. I was married for 63 years and didn’t even look at another woman! I treated my wife like a queen!” St. Peter said, “That’s what I like to hear. Here’s a Jaguar!”

A few days later, the two guys with the Lincoln and the Pinto saw the guy with the Jaguar, crying on the golden sidewalk. When they asked him what was wrong, he said, “I just saw my wife. She was on a skateboard!”

Good News 58: Man bikes around world five times while fighting cancer, a medical breakthrough, and more!

C’mon now, you know what time it is. First, a reunion between two men. One saved the other from committing suicide. It had been six years since that day, but they finally met again.

Laybourn, walking across Waterloo Bridge on his way to work on January 14, 2008, had stopped Benjamin from committing suicide. On Tuesday Benjamin was able finally to thank him.

So, six years later, how did these two strangers manage to meet?

And then, two weeks ago, Benjamin – with the help of the Rethink Mental Illness charity – launched a campaign to “Find Mike”, his nickname for the stranger. Doing so, he decided, would not only allow him to “close the door on that chapter of my life”, but also help to generate more interest in mental health issues.

The campaign spread quickly thanks to social media. Within two days, Laybourn’s fiancée saw the story on Facebook and immediately knew her partner was “Mike”.

Dante’s Opinion: Should i be friends with her she is a drug addict?

Another week of my opinion is what is, statistically, the lowest performing feature on DALANEL. Dallas’ post was the best one in terms on likes and even became a top liked post here. I’ve been trying to get her to do another soon but she’s got stuff going on.

So, since this feature is not doing so hot, and since I still like this feature, I’m going to move it to Saturday. The Tuesday slot is going to be filled with something soon. During the blog’s birthday week (next week!) I will announce what will show up on Tuesdays.

In the meantime, let’s look at some questions. This first one is from Ashley:

Should i be friends with her she is a drug addict?

My friend was addicted to drugs in the past..Meth, weed, ecstasy, She has alot of issues she tried killing herself also and she was with an awful boyfriend who she let just treat her like ****.

I never left her because of it..i tried helping her, Besides her own issues she was always a really good friend to me..unless she was using when i would meet up with her she would be angry and just a different person then she started trying to make me smoke weed. It’s just not my thing and i don’t believe in taking that stuff so i said no and that was that. Anyways she got off all that and went on a good path for a long time until i found out she still stays in contact with the boyfriend who cheated on her with all her old friends and ruined her life.

Then we went out the other night and she got very drunk and ended up getting cocaine and going home with a girl who was not good to her either i tried making her not go but instead she wanted me to go with her and snort with her ..i just went home. Now after that idk if i should stay friends with her..she message me the other day saying she cant remember asking me to do it with her and that she is so sorry and she would never do that again…what would you do in this situation?

Love from afar. At this point, she obviously needs help. However, what you’ve been doing is the right thing to do. You’ve got to keep her distance. It could be harsh, but it might be time to cut her loose. For you and for her. See, for her, she might think that everything is okay if nothing changes in her life on a major level. Some people need a drastic wake up call in the form of a big event like almost losing their life. Maybe you refusing to hang out with her until she gets her act together could be a shock she needs. On the flip side, if she does decide that it’s time to get help, be there for her.

The worst thing that can happen hanging out with her too much is that you end up getting caught up in her world. She or somebody she knows could cause you harm. Drugs does things to people’s minds. Your best friend on drugs could back-stab you and, as you stated in your question, could not remember anything.

Next question is from storykid:

Monday Motivation: Talk to someone new

It’s time to make a new friend today or this week. Maybe there’s a co-worker you don’t know much about. See if you can strike up a conversation. Get some new perspective in your social circle.

I know I gotta get in on this. I rarely talk to people so this will be an adventure for me. Even a simple hello to someone you see around but never really talk to is good.

Even on the internet. I’ll take it. Comment on this post and talk to me. I got you.

The point is to make a new social move today. Different. Fresh.

Now go.
