I did this. I used to work in a kitchen everyday when Pop came in he'd say boisterously, "Hey, how you doin?" and I'd respond happily, "Not bad, Pop!" and he'd "That's good."

One night I thought to myself, Why am I defining my feeling from a negative point of view? Why say "not bad" when it's just as easy to say I'm doing good?

Next day, Pop comes in, "Hey, how you doin?" I respond with the same-as-usual tone, "I'm doin good, Pop." He lights up like a Christmas tree, "HEY That's great."

It was one of the coolest things I've seen. Small change in words, huge change in reaction.

Have you ever opened a show with a love song by John Mayer to set the appropriate mood?

I called about NH's 1st district (D-Carol Shea Porter). They don't have an official position yet. I did ask for an email response regarding my Rep's decision. I said I would like her to vote in favor of the amendment. I also said I'd prefer the email to be sent after the amendment passed. The office staffer didn't get the joke right away.

Thanks for the response. That's what I've found so far, I was just hoping I had missed something.

I love spicy food but I sweat like CRAZY when I eat it. I even sweat on spicy food that is just a little spicy. How to I stop that - or at least limit it?
