In that situation, I don&#8217;t even bother trying to teach them; unless of course, they&#8217;re a boss or something. Then, it becomes necessary to cope with the ignorance. Grrrrrrrrr. 04:45 PM: I got [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[07:34 PM: [Advising a friend who's complaining about feeling sad a lot.]Â  Check out the book: You Can&#8217;t Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought by Peter McWilliams.
