Or be the Dalai Lama and enjoy a lavish life style on the CIA.

This is slightly abelist, but still sage advice for many.

When I was dating my second husband and I first met his children, I didn't understand why they kept looking at me all the time. I mean all the time. When I asked Norm about it, he just said that I was new to them, but I knew it was something else. About two months later, his oldest son asked me one day how I could always be so happy and nice all the time? And why did I laugh so much? My heart went into my throat, but I just told him that I thought it was better to live a happy life if you can, and the best way to do that is to laugh as much as possible from having fun and caring about each other. He got very quiet. I discovered later that their mother lives life with a very different philosophy. Laughter is better.

i really like that one. Cool.

[sigh] well I've finally got "walk double" down.

I now "eat half" but that's a response to "eating double" so I don't think it counts.

I have learned to laugh when it's not a native talent, but now I see it's insufficient as it needs tripling.

Love without measure, at least I've always done that!
