Every time you say yes when you mean no, you are abandoning yourself and end up feeling used or resentful or frantic. W hen you say no when you mean no its so sane and healthy it creates a little glade around you in which you can get the nourishment you need.

An open letter to the producers of Sesame Street Live: Elmo Makes Music
Dear Muppet Masters:
My son and I attended your mostly fine production this weekend. I feel compelled to point out to you what seems to be an egregious error in judgment in the telling of the tale "Elmo Makes Music". Please be advised that if early on in the story you are going to mention that a truck is going to deliver musical instruments to Sesame Street, please ensure that said truck does indeed appear on the stage at some point in the show. Once said truck's appearance was mentioned, I (and the entire section around us) was subjected to many, many MANY entreaties of "Mommy, truck? Truck! Truck, Mommy! Truck coming, Mommy?"
Sadly, said truck never came, marring an otherwise beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Thank you for your consideration of the above matter.

Two quotes for the price of one...
Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. Robert A. Heinlein
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.

Monday quote
Our children are no ours because they share our genes...they are ours because we have had the audacity to envision them. That, at the end of the day..or long sleepless night, is how love really works.
