Today, the World is a Better Place -
I have never in my life felt so relieved and so inspired by the results of an election as I am by the selection of Barack Obama as the next President of the United States. Today, the world is a better place. An offense involves fighting hard enough to secure a goal and remove obstacles to that goal. A defense involves expending just enough energy to ward off an attack or prevent injury. When Passive-Aggression isn?t Very Passive - Often when someone says that another person is being “passive-aggressive,” they really mean something else.

Someone in Your Life Probably Has a Personality Disorder - It might be your spouse, your parent, your co-worker...even your child. Chances are, someone with a significant role in your life has a personality disorder. Dr Carver’s new guide to personality disorders in relationships puts the reality in plain English; more than just a list of diagnostic criteria, this explanation describes what it’s really like and offers tips for victims.
