Thank you, sir!

That line, man, still has me laughing. The delivery, the hesitation, his expression, they’re all mixed to perfection.

Yeah, we should never forget his role in the second best Star Trek movie.

I am absolutely devastated by this news. Alan Rickman was one of my absolute favourites. Ever since first seeing him as the excellent Hans Gruber in Die Hard, I just could not get enough of him.

Well, the 2016th season of Earth sucks so far. I don’t get why the writers have to kill off so many loveable characters.

What makes the Empire so evil, what the hell? Who’s this guy in a big black mask that’s never explained, what the hell? Who cares about these robots, what the hell? Why is everything sand, what the hell? What’s this lady a princess of, what the hell? This planet I’ve never heard of got destroyed and I guess it’s a big…

I usually identify the problem and then give a few choices for taking the action I want. Like (using the sand example), “You could use a…

I had someone do something similar to this (blocked me in the mall, grabbed my hand, put lotion on): I reacted with “it’s burning - oh my god! what’s in it????”

Good advice. It’s known as the platinum rule: “Do unto others as they would have you do unto them.”

I once took a class on how to deal with difficult people. I was a supervisor at the time and I told the instructor that I wanted to be the type of boss I’d like to have. She shocked me when she said, “You are 100% wrong.” She went on to explain that people communicate differently. So, instead of using the “Golden…
