Mercury transits show where mind and speech are most active for the time being. These transits are quick, but not unimportant. You may notice things get busy wherever Mercury is active in your chart. When Mercury is retrograde, beware of making rash decisions or purchases. Many people find a retrograde period is best used to review work done before.
Planet Mercury is connected with the sun. While the sun rules the mind and ego, Mercury describes how you communicate what goes on in your mind. Thus, it is connected with speech, writing, and motor skills. Robert Hand reminds us that Mercury is also the planet of pranks, so keep that in mind.
The way Mercury works depends a lot on whether it is afflicted or supported by other factors in the chart. If afflicted, it causes confusion, pessimism, worry, deception, etc. If well-sapected or if there are supporting transits, it brings clarity of mind, quick-thinking, versatility, cleverness and mental energy.
Recommended reading: Planets in Transit: Life Cycles for Living by Robert Hand.
Mercury Transit in the First House
Depending on the Mercury sign, objectivity or confusion about oneself. A good time to speak one's mind openly. More communicative than usual. There may be restlessness and fickleness. Greater mental and nervous energies than usual. Take care not to strain yourself.
Mercury Transit in the Second House
The mind turns to finances and possessions. New ideas for making money. Planning one's monetary goals. If negative, fickleness when handling money. If there are negative aspects or transits to go with it, a bad time to make a purchase or do business.
Mercury Transit in the Third House
Clear thinking and speaking. Excellent time for communications, studies and short trips. May do more paperwork than usual. Routine becomes very busy. Be careful to not make decisions too hastily.. Give yourself time to think things over (perhaps until after this transit). If afflicted, may cause nervousness and confusion.
Mercury Transit in the Fourth House
One's thoughts turns toward home and family. If not afflicted, a good time for discussing family matters. May coincide with a move if more major transits indicate the same. Home study.
Mercury Transit in the Fifth House
Seeks intellectual stimulation through games and entertainment. Good communication with children. Word games, puzzles and such will be enjoyable. Talking with others isn't likely to get serious.
Mercury Transit in the Sixth House
Mentally active at work. Good for jobs that require attention to detail, and for discussions with coworkers. May handle several tasks at the same time. One another level, one may initiate a new health regimen or improve on an existing one.
Mercury Transit in the Seventh House
Interacting with another person helps with one's own self-expression. Intellectual rapport with partner. Good time to enter into a dialogue with another person or to talk with a counselor of some sort. If negatively aspected, may lead to quarrels instead. Be careful with contracts and legal matters if Mercury is afflicted.
Mercury Transit in the Eighth House
Thinking about profound subjects, such as life and death. Heightened intuition. Meaningful discussions with others. Occult studies.
Mercury Transit in the Ninth House
Curiosity about the world at large. A desire to learn something new. Good for studying and traveling or for learning a new language. Longer trips. One is more open-minded than at other times so this is a great time for philosophical discussions. Good time for writing and publishing.
Mercury Transit in the Tenth House
Time to focus one's mental energies at work, or your public life in general. Good time to study a new professional skill, or simply to analyze your current situation and make it better. Good communication with one's superiors. If you have something to say, you might choose to make the announcement now. Beware of misunderstandings if there are negative transits to go with this or if Mercury makes negative aspects, and/or tenth house is afflicted natally.
Mercury Transit in the Eleventh House
Thinking over one's goals, whether long-term or short-term. Examining and adjusting one's plans. Having a dialogue with friends. Greater activity in the community or organization that one is a part of. Sharing one's thoughts with friends.
Mercury Transit in the Twelfth House
Keeping one's thoughts to oneself. Studying and researching on one's own. Turning the mind to mystical or religious matters. Worry and pessimism. Robert Hand warns against keeping secrets from others at this time.

Certain types of soluble fiber, called prebiotics, can support the growth of healthy bacteria in our intestines, and may be responsible for fiber's unique benefits in relation to cardiovascular health, weight control, and maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.*Fiber Balance is formulated with 5 types of fiber each chosen for their unique prebiotic and health-promoting benefits.Integrated Supplements Fiber Balance is a precise blend of 5 types of fiber, each chosen for their unique health benefits.Fiber Balance includes:Nutrim Oat Beta GlucanWhen combined with a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, oat beta glucan has been shown to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.* Though oat beta glucan can be found in oatmeal and oat bran cereals, these foods also contain high amounts of starch, calories, and anti-nutrients such as phytates (substances which inhibit mineral absorption). Nutrim is specifically formulated to deliver the health benefits of oat fiber without these other undesirable elements.Fibersol2TMFibersol2TM is a soluble fiber which has been shown to help maintain healthy blood glucose levels and insulin response.*InulinInulin is a naturally-occurring fiber often found in root vegetables. It has been shown to enhance the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and may aid in the absorption of minerals such as calcium.*Oligofructose/Fructooligosaccharides (FOS)Oligofructose (aka Fructooligosaccharides or FOS) Imparts health benefits similar to those of inulin (the polysaccharides which make up oligofructose are shorter chains than those found in inulin).Apple FiberApple fiber is a well-known source of pectin and is revered for its digestion-supporting and detoxifying effects.*
Other Ingredients:
Nutrim Oat Bran (containing 10% beta glucan soluble fiber), Fibersol2 brand Digestion-Resistant Maltodextrin, Inulin Fiber, Apple Fiber, Oligofructose, Fructose, Cinnamon, Natural Apple Flavor, Vegetable Protein Isolate, Natural Flavors, Lo Han Fruit Extract.
Food Sensitivity:
No psyllium, laxative herbs, artificial sweeteners.

Yes, I'm going to beat this dead horse. Because, apparently, it's not dead.
Though, I'm not going to rail on about the risks and dangers. We all know about those—I hope. I had to help handle an incident last Friday where an acquaintance of mine tried to drive home while barely able to stand. You read that right: he could barely stand, and tried to drive himself home.
He wouldn't relinquish his keys, so another friend and I followed/chased him out to his car. We tried to talk him out of it. He started the car and tried to leave with the door open and a conversation still happening. Words were clearly a failed option.
So I reached in over the door (and the steering wheel) and took the keys out of the ignition. For anyone who knows me, this is not my style. I really detest confronting people when it's not necessary. But in this case, it was absolutely necessary. I wish he'd just listened, to avoid the anger and acrobatics, but that just wasn't meant to be.
And looking back, I don't regret it. Nobody should. I hate pissing people off (especially those I know), and this was no exception—he was furious. I figured he'd never speak to me or my friends again. Turns out he barely remembered any of it; he called back the next day and apologized.
So, even though I thought we'd pissed him off, that's not the case. But even if it were, I wouldn't care. Others may let this stuff happen, but NOT ON MY WATCH. That's the point. It's important to ALWAYS do the right thing in these cases. For all anyone knows, we saved lives. But I'm glad I'll never know one way or the other.
And I expect the same of my friends. If you're not going to step up when the pressure's on, then what's the point? If I ever try to do something that colossally stupid, I hope my friends do whatever it takes to stop me. DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.
I don't plan on ever doing anything this dumb; I'm just saying that's what I hope a friend would do. Also, after taking him and his car home, we did confiscate his keys for the night, just to make sure he didn't try to go anywhere else.
Oh, and if it wasn't obvious from this: don't drink and drive. Thanks.
And a few closing comments. I hope he doesn't read this, because the point is not to call him out for what happened. The point is that it's crucial for people (particularly friends) to do "The Right Thing™."
And, on a more narcissistic note… I always wonder if I'll handle critical situations (crises, if you will) properly, or cave under the pressure. I've spent years of my life being trained/told/convined that I would. But until this, the notion had gone mostly "untested." So hopefully this is an honest indication that, under pressure, I'll do "The Right Thing™."
I've failed some friends before, but hopefully I'll stop doing that. Maybe this is where that changes.

David Reyne's supreme as Ramsay Street businessman
Former Flying Doctors star David Reyne this week returned to acting for a guest role on Ramsay Street - and local hot shot Andrew Robinson had better watch out.
A household name for fans Down Under and familiar to UK viewers for his role in The Flying Doctors, former travel reporter and morning show host David Reyne this week returned to acting after 20 years when he filmed a guest role on Neighbours.
Playing a shrewd businessman who makes a deal too good to be true with Ramsay Street hot shot Andrew Robinson (Jordan Smith), David admits he relished the part - his first since the early '90s, when he played lothario Dr Guy Reid in The Flying Doctors.
'I've always enjoyed acting and would love to do more of it. Neighbours is a nice foray back into it,' says David.
As well as pursing acting and narrating the Australian version of Celebrity Apprentice, David is preparing for a DJ role on Smooth FM, which is set to launch in two weeks. 'It's something a little different and unexpected,' he adds. 'I'm really looking forward to it.'

Mission Statement
The New York Healthy Workplace Advocates is a grassroots organization of citizen lobbyists that seeks to introduce, support and pass legislation via the Healthy Workplace Bill that adequately addresses workplace bullying and psychological violence in the workplace as well as to educate employers and employees on the costs of harboring a workplace bully to create a "win-win" environment where the employer and employee can work together to meet organizational goals.
The Rich Picture
At present time, it is currently legal in the United States for an individual (usually a person in a supervisory role) to impair and/or destroy the physical and psychological well-being of an employee, their social support network and career using an employer's resources when a person is not a member of a protected status group. Current State and Federal laws only recognize an unlawful employment practice when a person is a member of a "protected status" group such as race, religious creed, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex age or sexual orientation and the employer or any person acting directly or indirectly as an agent of the employer harasses an employee. Why isn't workplace bullying covered under current State of Federal law? Because the bully and the target are both members of a protected class, therefore the existing harassment laws are negated and the bully is free to impair the health of another person without ramifications. NYHWA and via the Healthy Workplace Bill seeks to expand current harassment law to make it an unlawful employment practice to subject an employee to an abusive workplace environment regardless of protected status membership or better defined as a "status-blind" harassment protection .
The Workplace Bullying Institute's Definition of the Phenomenon
...The repeated
mistreatment of one or more persons (the targets) by one or more perpetrators
that takes one or more of the following forms: verbal abuse
or, threatening, humiliating or offensive
behavior/actions (verbal and nonverbal forms) or, work interference -- sabotage
-- which prevents work from getting done that is so severe that the
mistreatment harms the health of the targeted person -- stress-related physical
consequences or psychological/emotional injury -- or leads to economic harm
through termination, demotion or denied promotions.
Workplace Bullying:
(A) Is driven by perpetrators' need to control the targeted individual(s)
(B) Is initiated by bullies who choose targets, timing, place and methods
(C) Escalates to involve others who side with the bully, either voluntarily through coercion, and it
(D) Undermines legitimate business interests when bullies' personal agendas take precedence over work itself.
Bullying, general
workplace harassment is more prevalent than it's more famous and illegal
special varieties--sexual harassment and racial discrimination. A recent
reliable study estimates that approximately 1 in 6 U.S. workers have directly
experienced destructive bullying in the past year. According to a year
2000 scientific sample of State of Michigan residents, Bullying transcends
gender. Half of all bullies (58%) are women. Half of all bullying is
woman-on-woman. Women comprise 80% of targets. The vast majority of bullies
(71%) are bosses.
Bullies bully because they can; they do so with impunity. The complex answer to why bullies bully can be reduced to 3 factors:
(A) Some workplaces pit worker against worker in zero-sum (cutthroat) competitive work arrangements
(B) Machiavellian types (who live to manipulate others to accomplish their own goals) see the opportunities
(C) In bullying-prone workplaces, employers reward the aggression with promotions and rewards.
Bullies are rarely
psychopathic, but are always narcissistic and Machiavellian.
Targethood hinges on two characteristics: a desire to cooperate and a non-confrontive interpersonal style. Bullying poses a serious health hazard to Targets by compromising their psychological and physical health, disassembling their social network and risking economic devastation through the loss of their jobs because "employment at will" encourages the bully's whimsical misuse of power. Targets who are most surprised by the baseless cruelty inflicted on them suffer the most severe effects (PTSD) and take the longest time to heal afterwards. Silent, frozen co-workers worsen the problem often by choosing to cut off support, to tacitly or directly join the bully's personal vendetta against the Target. Eventually, the workplace is paralyzed by fear, incapable of productive work, and susceptible to costly downtime with an unhealthy workforce and an increased liability for destructive employment practices.
Unlike cases involving violations of federally protected Civil Rights, bullied individuals in the U.S. and Canada today have few, mostly unsuccessful, avenues for legal redress. Beginning in 2003 in California, the Workplace Bullying Institute-driven Healthy Workplace Bill has been introduced in several states. It has not yet become a law.

2012 / 07 - July Issue of American Cinematographer
The July 2012 issue of American Cinematographer magazine, which covers the second wave of summer blockbusters.
Prometheus (20th Century Fox)
Dariuz Wolski, ASC teamed with director Ridley Scott on this hotly anticipated 3-D prequel to Scott's 1979 sci-fi classic Alien. The new movie, which is tangentially connected to the saga depicted in the Alien franchise, concerns a team of space explorers who follow a star map to an advanced extraterrestrial civilization that may hold clues to mankind's origins but also threaten humanity's very existence. Wolski and Scott discuss how they integrated 3-D technology into the ambitious project, which was shot on stages and locations in Canada, England, Spain, Iceland and Scotland.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (20th Century Fox)
For this big-screen adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's bestselling novel, Caleb Deschanel, ASC helped turn the legendary U.S. president into a vampire-slaying hero who confronts the fanged, undead creatures who are threatening to take over his country. Deschanel discusses his collaboration with Russian-Kazakh director Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch, Day Watch, Wanted) on locations in Louisiana, as well as his techniques for intergrating the movie's live-action elements with elaborate visual effects.
Rock of Ages (Warner Bros.)
Bojan Bazelli, ASC collaborated with director Adam Shankman on this high-spirited, hard-rock musical adapted from the hit Broadway production. Bazelli breaks down key production numbers from the film, which features a soundtrack filled with songs by Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Twisted Sister and other well-known 1980s bands.
Savages (Universal)
Dan Mindel, ASC teamed for the first time with director Oliver Stone on this action-packed crime thriller about a pair of pot growers (played by Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch) who confront a Mexican drug cartel that kidnaps their shared girlfriend (Blake Lively). Mindel provides insights into his working relationship with Stone while the pair shot on locations in and around Los Angeles.

Don't Neglect Your Neck
Get the best anti-aging regimen so you can hold your head high
By Woman's Day Staff
The Home Remedy
It's time to exercise—your neck muscles, that is. "This can tighten and lift your skin," says Dr. Bank. His recommended routine: Sit up straight and tilt your head back so you're looking at the ceiling. Bring your bottom lip up over your top lip, as if you're trying to touch your nose, and hold the position for 10 seconds. Repeat 10 times. "Some of my patients who've performed this little trick daily have told me that they saw a difference in as little as six weeks," he says.

ABILENE (KRBC) - Checking Facebook is something that close to 665 million people do almost daily, sharing an average of 300 million pictures per day. So when Shanna White shared a picture of herself, she didn't think much of it.
"I had hoped it would reach some people, more people," she explained. "I had no idea it would reach this many people."
It was a side by side comparison photo. It showed herself after eight years of using meth and showed herself clean and sober just six years later.
"I keep that picture to remind myself where it took me, where I was. I felt defeated. I look at the other picture and I think, 'Wow, I did it,'" White said.
And hundreds of thousands of Facebook users are liking the fact that she did. The photo has received well over 160,000 likes and over 12,000 shares.

Agent 6 (original 2011; edition 2012)
by Tom Rob Smith
Work details
Agent 6 by Tom Rob Smith (2011)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is the final book in the trilogy following the life of Leo Demidov, a former KGB officer. Unfortunately, it is also the weakest of the three novels as the plot contains too many situations relying on unlikely coincidences to reach its conclusion. The writing is nowhere near as compelling as in the first novel, "Child 44". Although Leo's character continues to develop and change throughout the book and there are a number of difficulties for him to overcome, the overall result is somewhat disappointing.
on the whole this was a bit of a disappointment - it starts of well but then by the time the characters get to America it keeps on rambling on and on and ever on the actual words 'Agent 6' do not appear until almost the end of the story and even he is a disappointment! I kept reading it only because I didn't have anything else too read. I've read Child 44 and that was a damn fine read but this - ???
Parts of it lived up to the expectations created by Smith's earlier Leo Demidov books, other parts didn't. The parts that did were marvelous, the parts that didn't were rather dull.
If my days weren't filled with other things as well, I would have read this book in just one sitting. Souch terrifying first pages, that gave me the sense as if I were there. The author put the finger right on the sour spot of how people think / thought in the former USSR, how the intelligence agents were trained.
I liked this book a lot, again, just like the others in this series. Very sad, gripping, even unpleasant at times, but absolutely plausible when considering if things like this could have happened.
I'm trying to convince myself that those days are over, but... I'm not sure. Looking at what is going on at the moment in Russia and everwhere else in the world, I don't think any of the agencies are resting.
If you like the genre, this is a very recommendable read!!
I have read neither CHILD 44 nor its sequel THE SECRET SPEECH so for me AGENT 6 had to make sense as a stand alone, and it did, although it did make me feel that I should go back and read the other two at some stage.
I was unprepared for the timespan of the novel and wasn't helped by chapters that are headed "Same Day" or "One Month Later". I do understand that the action basically takes place between 1965 and and 1981/2 and that the location moves from Russia to Afghanistan to New York, following Leo Demidov's quest to clear his wife's name. It explores the political connections between Russia, Afghanistan and America, and the truly awful ramifications of the manipulation of ordinary lives by a few secret agents from both sides. The conspiracy that first affects Demidov's wife and daughters in 1965 is still alive in 1981.
On another plane it balances love of the family against patriotism. There are at least two examples of young people who put aside familial loyalties for what they see as the higher level of patriotism. Demidov's loyalty to his family is contrasted with the betrayal of an Afghani girl's parents.
I don't know that you can ever say you enjoy this sort of novel, but I felt that it did add depth to my basic knowledge.

- 1Apr 9, '00 by sandygatorJGLASS...the "General public" has a right to know.
The fact that nurses feel this way about the facility they work in does not speak ill of 'the profession' itself, but rather, where managed care and the profit conscious
industry is taking us all. Until the consumers realize what cutting costs by cutting qualified nursing staff means to them, it will continue to be this way.
The opinions here ARE from consumers, but we are consumers who know how it should be versus how it is.

- 0Apr 10, '00 by hagI have read the comments of the people on this page and I am concerned about the negative experiences experienced by so many.
I had a brief stay in the hospital where I work a few years ago icluding being ventilated in ICU. I remember excellent care by the ICU staff and scary care by the floor staff. I probably saw an RN once a shift if I was lucky! Luckily I had a lot of friends who were ICU staff ( I work ICU at the hospital) and they kept checking up on me and bringing me what I needed.
I think the patiens in all of the units (ICU'S) get excellent care and the floor patients are not getting the care they deserve,leading in some cases to being adnmtted to the units.We have had several admissions that could have probably been prevented if the patient's condition had been noticed a little earlier.
I recently worked in a floor for the first time (with 4 patients, which I know is a good assignment!) and can see why the care is so lacking.
Firstly there are not enough RNs and too many untrained techs. Secondly there are too many new graduates being placed in situations that they are not trained for with too many patients, too sick patients and not enough supervision or guidance from more experienced staff. There are also nurses being pulled from completely different areas who are not trained in these particular areas. ie, we will get stepdown nuses pulled to the ICU without the proper training and they are scared to death,not being used to the acuity of patients we have.
We are also being pulled to areas that we are not familiar with and when we protest we are told that as ICU staff we can go any whereas we have the technical skills!! I may be able to deal with a ventilator in my sleep but it does not mean I can do a peds patient or go to the OR.
Having been a patient, especially intubated, has given me an insight to the 'other side' and made me a lot more sensitive to my patients needs.
Until management wakes up and realises what is happening in the health system it is up to us to watch out for our patients and our fellow nurses alike and stand up and make some noise when staff are being pulled or we are being placed in unsafe situations.

- 0Apr 10, '00 by justanurseMy husband had a bad accident last month. He spent a week in a major metropolitan trauma center here in the mid-west. His nursing care was good - THE DOCTORS (and their attitudes) SUCKED!!!!!
I was never so happy to get him home and back in my facility. Many of the nurses who care for him now, know me and have taken good care of him. There was only one night that he didn't want me to leave. I feel much better with him here. I'll feel even better when I can get him home.
- 0Apr 10, '00 by drjtk76Hey what a great question! Sorry but I'm ashamed to say NO! I guess that I have been a nurse too long and I know how little it takes to make a serious mistake. I would be praying to God the whole time and hope there was an experienced, happy, refreshed, fulfilled nurse pushing that IV med into me!
- 0Apr 12, '00 by Anonymous Registered NursAbsolutely NOT. Even though I know just about everyone there. I say this because they (management) are really, understaffing. If I was on Med-Surg, my RN would have 12 patients plus she would be responsible for all the IV meds of a LPN who has another 12 patients of her own, and they would only have 2 "techs" to assist them. Yes, thats right, 24 patients for 4 staff (1 RN, 1 LPN, 2 unlicensed techs). In CCU/ICU the RN would have 3-4 patients with 1 tech (who is also responsible for up to 14 patients, unit clerking, lab draws, blood sugars, stocking, and all the baths). EVEN THE BEST NURSE IN THE WORLD COULD NOT PROVIDE QUALITY CARE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. I just don't get how the administators can get away with this, SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO STOP THIS!! So I started an internet petition, but nobody is signing it. I'm very heart sick about the situation but don't know else to do.
- 0Apr 15, '00 by JodieRNI had a Lap Chole at the hospital where I work two years ago. At the time I had only been working there about 6 months. I was given a private room at no extra charge..one of the few staff perks My nurses were great, so I know if they were that good to me, they are taking good care of the rest of the patients! They give the job their all, despite the poor staffing ratios. I guess it helped that I already knew everyone because I was pt on my own floor!! I do have to say there was only one person that I did not want taking care of me, because we have conflicting ideas about pain management, so the secretary made sure she placed me in a room at the end opposite of where this nurse was working (another perk with regard to knowing the staff). I am having shoulder surgery later next month in a hospital 90 miles from home. Not because I don't have confidence in the staff at my hospital, but because the Orthopod here treated me like garbage. I don't know if he thought I "knew it all" and he didn't need to explain just because I'm a nurse or what. But I knew I could not let him manage my care when I read the consultation he dictated...he stated he discussed certain topics with me that I have no recollection of him discussing with me...hmmmm?? What do you think of that?? Did he have me confused with someone else or????Besides the fact that the man wrote two pages about a woman who he spent all of five minutes with!!! I'd like to know where he got his info, because none of that was in my medical records. And he is supposed tobe the "best" Orthopod left in this town. : Anyway, I went out of town for a second opinion, and I am very satisifed with the care I am currently recieving. I am a little nervous about having surgery out of town though, because I do trust the people I work with, and do not know anyone at the other hospital. I have heard many good comments about this other hospital, but I guess I'll just have to find out for myself.
- 0Apr 16, '00 by SuzanneYes I would be happy to have my relatives in my place of work.
I have worked in most areas and am happy with what I know of staff and care.
Our situation re staff is not good but crikey its a lot better than most of yours in US so far.
I guess it comes down to perception, ideals and facts.
As a patient we percieve things and have ideals that as a staff member we could realise are sometimes unrealistic.
I don't know the answer but perhaps the way we are going here is the solution. Home centred with only acute, acute in facilities.
We'll suspend judgement on that one for another few years.
Smile and keep up the good work all of you.

Lessons from Chrihanna: 5 Precautions for the Ride-Or-Die Chick
Posted by By Guerdley at 29 February, at 17 : 43 PM Print
You got to admire the ovaries on a ride-or-die chick in love. Unfortunately though, not everything is applaud worthy, her perspective can suck — especially when she has on her hater shades. For most, love is free. But not for those in bad love; they have a price to pay costing them anywhere from friends, their reputation, in addition to regular taxes on self-respect. But even in the face of social bankruptcy, the loyal ride-or-die chick will still flip the bird and cling to a romance on life-support. At this point for her, love long surpassed being blind; it's now blind, deaf, and defensive. This is the main reason I can't help but SMFH at Rihanna's erect middle finger — because it's shamelessly misdirected. It's not that we don't want to see the rude gyal in love, we just don't want to see her banged up (take two) in the name of it. But for one reason or another this ride-or-die chick's "Thank you" to our genuine concern is coming out much more aggressive than expected.
Kind of reminds of you of that girlfriend we all wanted to rescue from an embarrassing romance, but would find ourselves pushed adrift every time we'd try to toss a lifesaver. The truth of the matter is a concerned friend can try all they want to shake the recklessness out of a ride-or-die chick. They can even go around slapping "Results May Vary" warnings on romantic comedies everywhere. But be prepared, disappointment is in the near forecast… Redemption is a personal project.
So how does a hopeless romantic begin to muster hope? For starters: In the mirror, solo. But no worries, you're never really alone, we devised a little list to help moderate the discussion every ride-or-die chick should have with herself:
There is no word in the english language more notoriously misused than the word, "Hater". Put this on wax: Someone who "hates" abhores the idea of someone else finding prosperity and peace in life. Literally, if you smile, they die a little bit inside. NOT to be confused with someone who simply isn't feeling your actions. People in bad love or ride-or-die chicks with their dukes up, tend to throw this word around and anyone who isn't throwing rice at their union catches claim. If you've ever found yourself in this position try your hardest to be honestly objective: Do people have a real reason to complain? Has this dude disrespected anyone I care about? Has he disrespected me? Has he disrespected our relationship? If you can honestly answer these q's, congratulations, you've successfully managed to look one step outside the box! Just remember, anyone taking time out of their own life to worry about your problems is a friend. (Most people don't give a shilling). They may not be the kind of friend you may want, but certainly the kind you need.
Sometimes, loving Mr. Dead Wrong can come with major setbacks. In Rihanna's case, rumor has it Jay-Z has a new protege he's unveiling in lieu of her wanton ways. The newbie's name is Rita Ora and in perfect dramatic prose she'd be the one to knock Riri from the top. Then again, who knows? However, the chances alone are a helluva gamble, dontchya think? Not to say that our actions should be guided by the yielding hand of someone else, but recognizing that every action, has a reaction, is a power move every big girl must practice – especially one bold enough to flip off the world.
3.) CAN I REPLACE THE THINGS or PEOPLE I MIGHT LOSE IF I STAY IN THIS RELATIONSHIP?
Despite whatever your fortune cookie said, you have soul-mates patiently awaiting your arrival. Yes, soul-matesss –that's plural baby. 7 billion sapiens roaming the world, you mean to tell me you have only 1 soul-mate? Come on now cakes, you took probability — that's illogical! Yet so many tend to clutch to a bad romance in fear of wrangling loose their one true love (again, to hell with rom-coms). In turn they end up losing lifelong friends, relations with family, their good reputation, ya know — things that aren't so replaceable. Choose wisely lovers.
Loyalty is a terrible thing to waste. Every ride-or-die chick needs to make sure their gravity defying love is ready and willing to be reciprocated. Frankly, come out and ask for it. "If your ____ didn't like me would you drop them?" or any other derivative that applies. But really though, a healthy relationship shouldn't cost you another healthy relationship, it should breed more. If it doesn't, and if he isn't willing to fork over the same commitment, take your good loving and get gone. Chump aint worth it.
We'd all like to believe that the love we found will last forever. Awww, how sweet & romantical! -__- Unfortunatley though, the only consistent thing in life is change. If your relationship already reeks a trail of infidelity, abuse, or good ol' fashioned disfunction, without a doubt there is an expiration date on it (whether you choose to recognize it or not). And unless he put a ring on it, chances are this dude isn't worth much huff & puff. In some cases even if there is a ring on it and a fetus set to pop, if loving your dude is bringing negative backlash from multiple corners of the Earth, conditions to your unconditional love should still apply.
Again, all of this said with love and for the sole purpose of personal well being. Honestly, nothing breaks my heart more than seeing a bad b*tch make bad moves. Seriously, I hurt for my honeys! The truth may bite a little, but damnit it'll set that pretty ass free! For more good looks check us out @wwmdtv

I enjoyed this article! If a man is disrespecting and mistreating you, is he really worth loving? I do not think so…We need to value ourselves!
