Something I'm working on suggests this book as a resource for dealing with stress. I didn't want to refer people to it because most of the other sources are free or are probably available at the library, but then I started reading the testimonials.

Oh

my

gosh.

Quote
Since my first encounter with Jan Graf, he has helped my family, friends, and my Doctor clients with every condition common and uncommon known to man. Just to name a few: marital problems, dyslexia, headaches, emotional baggage about money and wealth, heart and lung conditions, as well as stress and emotional concerns too many to name.

This stress-management technique cures dyslexia and heart disease!

Quote
The changes were astonishing.  I lost 65 pounds in eight weeks, without dieting, medication or exercise.  The diabetic and high blood pressure problems went almost immediately, likewise my leukemia problems.

And cancer!

Quote
As you know, we had been trying to have another baby for 4 years.  The day my husband saw you for the problems that he was having due to stress you discovered why I wasn’t getting pregnant.  According to my doctor I got pregnant that night.

And sterility!

Really, is there anything this amazing technique CAN'T do?

You certainly can!

But wait, there's more! Be one of the first 500 callers, and we'll throw in this flexible LED book light FREE! That's a $25* value!


*Actually a $2.50 value. Someone in accounting probably made a decimal error.

It was a stormy, multicultural night to remember and, in the morning light of Sunday’s temple dedication, still on the minds of the youth.

You can't make this stuff up.

Are you ever tempted to send them back with a note that says "You're joking, right?"

Oh, I've been tempted to write a great many things over the years. I have learned to sublimate those urges into snarky posts here and comments to my coworkers. Sometimes we've even had quote boards of really choice specimens.

This morning my boss was talking about someone who was eager to get started on a project,  and said that he was "biting at the chump" to begin. It was probably the most entertaining variant of "champing at the bit" that I've heard.
I wish more people were able to be like me.

I hope you have a wonderful adventure in Taiwan. Not a swashbuckling adventure, just a prawn flavored pringles adventure.

Isn't it, though?

Actually, this story reminds me that there was a question about her speech patterns that I was wanting to ask you.

Visualizing occurs as students picture what is taking place.

Yeah, that's pretty much how it works.
