Tacky Tourists

<t>As long as they don't block my path, I don't mind tourists. I work in midtown Manhattan, not far from Rockefeller Ctr/Radio City Music Hall. I hate when gaggles of tourists stop dead in their tracks to look at something and block the entire sidewalk. At this time of the year, that can happen mult...

The Best Advice You've Received?

A friend of mine was giving me advice on people who say negative things:

"Consider your source"

To this day, I still call her the "Wise Woman" for that piece of advice.

book title needed

No title suggestions, but I think writing out what happened would be good for both of you. That's a lot of painful events to go through and writing about them would be a healthy outlet for dealing with them. Good luck with it and may your lives keep getting better & happier!

There's a difference between jealousy with no grounds and concern because a partner has cheated in the recent past. The former is irrational, while the latter is understandable.
