Especially over setting limits, choosing your YES moments? Taking proper care of yourself? Who cares what others think? Wasting time being infected by this growing cancer that the idea of NO is bad would not be of benefit. :) I absolve you of all guilt, now, give yourself a mister yuck sticker each time you make an excuse for a choice you make. And a wonderful shiny star sticker for each time you empower yourself and have JOY, because you didn't give yourself away! :) Good Luck! Elisa Connelley Why ever would you waste time feeling guilt? Especially over setting limits, choosing your YES moments? Taking proper care of yourself? Who cares what others think?

Made me smile and relate, because I am in almost the exact same situation right now; a little less than eight weeks to go before I have to hand in the final draft of my dissertation on idealised ideas of communication in wireless technology discourse! Hang in there, keep saying no, as it is the only way you'll get things done, believe me :) Good luck!

It had the whole sort of thing, that Danah Boyd comments about, of kids with mobile video players, recorders, wireless bandwidth etc - very interesting Howard as an anthropological view of today's teen culture. The movie, I am pleased to say was also a well targeted at tackling teenage suburban obescity. And if you looked hard enough, I am sure there is even a dash of good 'ole 'eastern philosophy' thrown in for good measure. B.
