What if we limited ourselves to only ever using kind words, calming words, positive words, helpful words and stopped using those that weren't? Could we change from outside in?

One-by-one specifically or do you make a connection among them and treat them as relating to one another?For example.Men are physically stronger than women.

Also coconut shrimp though I don't really know what country can take credit for that. Ever have a corned beef sandwich, matzo ball soup and knishes? Splendid fare. I knew a gal who made the best chopped liver I ever tasted! Lasagna must be the food of the gods. Also PThe more exotic cuisine I do not favor. I think it may be the spices used that aren't my cuppa tea.What is yours? less

She was married to a successful accountant so they ate out a lot. But I never forgot that. She KNEW I loved to cook so I also took it personally. I must have taken it super personally because that was about 35 years ago and here I am talking about it.

What I could never tolerate was a dumbunny no matter the gender or age. Not my cuppa tea.
