Does my quiet self-pity get to me?  Or should I move up to incessant
nagging?

I honor and express all facets of my being, regardless of state and local
laws.

Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, for there are no sweeter
words than "I told you so."

A good scapegoat is nearly as welcome as a solution to the problem.

Why should I waste my time reliving the past when I can spend it worrying
about the future?

The complete lack of evidence is the surest sign that the conspiracy is
working.

I am learning that criticism is not nearly as effective as sabotage.

My body is a temple. Do you want to come over for midnight mass?

To have a successful relationship I must learn to make it look like I'm
giving as much as I'm getting.
