My fortune cookie reads...the ingredients in a good life are to Learn, and then earn...and we will all eventually yearn...
Well Mr cookie, well done, my turn
   Strong, healthy relationships have their own ingredients...lets start with our enthusiasm to explore and grow with our partners.  Find our partners attractive from the soul out.  Share physical affection, just as much as, emotional connection...remember to place your partners needs within your eyesight...don't ever take your partner for granted.  The backbone to all relationships is the ability to communicate...discuss anything and everything with Complete HONESTY...while actively listening and being able to hear what your partner is saying.  Compatibility...Mesh...the relationship is a living entity therefore it has to coagulate into a co-functional manner.  The ability to entirely engage your partner...keep interest through intelligence...challenge...need each other.  Finally the foundation to success is accepting your partner for whom they are...this means you respect and hold consideration...ultimately recognizing and tolerating...(to accept does not necessarily mean to agree with, comply, or give in).
Be yourselves, love yourselves, and just maybe you can love others...

Hello there Jenni

Its that time of year were stupidity dictates activity...Meet Ms Jennifer Marie Riegler, a twenty23three year old woman from Hebron, Maryland.  Accused of stripping naked and harassing staff and customers at a Royal Farm store in town.  With her lewd remarks followed by her sexually suggestive inappropriate behavior, the store staff quickly alerted the local deputy whom promptly showed up and arranged for Ms Riegler's escort to the local "time-out" center.  By weeks end, she most certainly will have plenty of company to harass within her intimate area of confinement...
Be smart
Be safe
But still remember to enjoy yourself, without harming yourself or anybody else...Right Ms Riegler?

Is there something WRONG with your Medulla Oblongata?

Amygdala

Greek word for almond and tonsil.  The Amygdala is also the anatomical name for a very specific region in the mammalian brain.  It is located in the medial temporal lobes of the brain, and its comprised of a cluster of nuclei forming the shape of an "almond".  The known primary role of this region is to processes and store/recall Emotional Reactions and Events.  This helps regulate your fear and fight or flight reactions.

     Recent studies have shown a direct correlation with the size of the Amygdala and the size of an individual's social network.  The bigger the Amygdala the larger the social circle an individual reported having.  I found this very interesting...because this in essence is stating that to a certain degree, you are built with the ability to function socially (tangible data..and i love facts!).  Although an argument could be made that large social functioning individuals develop larger Amygdala in response to deal with a "need" for social situations (again worth investigating).  Lets take this one small step deeper in analyzing the ultimate social setting, a relationship.  Can a person with a "small" Amygdala have an inadequate ability to sustain a healthy relationship?  Does an individual with a "large" Amygdala have a better ability to maintain stable relationships?  Interesting if it could be that simple.  Another interesting aspect to the Amygdala is its processing of personal space violations. HypersensitiveToSpaceaAreWe?  With this thought process in hand, researchers are trying to understand how abnormalities in this brain region may impair social behavior in neurologic and psychiatric disorders.
My final word of advice...next time you make a date with someone, make sure they share their MRI's as well...this is Captain Patrick Benson signing off on this Snow filled Tuesday Morning
Be well
Be Safe

     You don't have to agree or approve of an individual in order to accept them.  To impede an individuals' form of expression is criminal to that individual...you are denying the reality of the relationship...all for the purpose of attempting to change someones else undesirable trait(s).  Any and all actions or behaviors one may deem as undesirable (or "unacceptable") are rarely done to intentionally thwart or to be compromising.  These are forms of expression typically done through natural means of living.  Take for example a pet dog.  This animal means no ill will by chewing on furniture, it is its instinct.  This animal would be just as happy if it had a chew toy.  When faced with something we do not agree with, we instantly make this a personal attack, when in fact it may be anything other then that.  When we learn to be accepting, we will find peace with that individual.  Sometimes in order to accept, we may need to find compromise in the relationship, this is where communication lays the foundation for growth.  Remember, you can not change someone, you can only change yourself!

Seasons Greetings

On December 25TwentyFifth25 in the year NineTeen1965SixtyFive, This world was Blessed with the Arrival Of one Sandy Stine...Happy Birthday Mrs Burkhardt from all your family, friends, and acquaintances from out East.

    This is the time of year where family and friends reacquaint and relive old memories, some fond...others not.  Past journeys, forgotten adventures.  Reminisce about lost loves, connect with new lust.  Share with ones you love, laugh with those you adore...immerse your affection with a devoted appetite that these holidays will bring.  A naive mysticism that entangles its web in each generation with a beloved passion and loyal connection.  Its the time of year, where you set aside your differences, forgive the wrongs and embrace your enthusiasm.
Merry Christmas to all

A memo to Hollywood Hughes

All Talk Chuck, stuck in a Tijuana prison...got caught with three hookers and a half an ounce of cocaine.  I guess he forgot to bribe the Mexican federalists.  Good luck old boy.
