The best way to remember arithmetic-an example
In silent satisfaction, she sweetly gave the kisses back andsaid, "Now that's subtraction."
Then he kissed her, she kissed him, without an explanation. And both together smiled and said, "That's multiplication."Then her Dad appeared upon the scene and made a quick decision.He kicked that boy three blocks away and said, "That's long division!"

Laughing Our Worries Away

"Always laugh when you can. It’s cheap medicine” - Lord Byron
· “A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.” - Phyllis Diller
Many times in our hectic lives we fall into the habit of taking things ... life, far too seriously. We don’t stop and rate the real importance, we don’t take the time to put things that happen to us into perspective. We certainly don’t always stop and smell the roses or the lilacs or even the dandelions. We react. We stress our bodies, ourselves, we damage our essence. We don’t ask ourselves, when confronted with something stressful, will this matter 2 days from now, or 2 weeks or 2 months from now?
It is NOT worth getting your knickers in a twist, not worth straining your artery walls for. We can choose not to react, not to freak, not to worry, not to fret. The ball is always in our court. We must take the time to pause and put things into perspective.
Laughter is a good drug. The chemical benefits from smiling and laughter are the same, whether they are real or fake. Your body still pumps out the endorphin when you grin at yourself, or force a laugh. You reap what you sow, it’s amazing. Believe in laughter, it heals.
Problem is, we don’t laugh nearly enough….
“You don’t stop laughing because you get old ...you get old because you stop laughing”

HOW TO BE A GOOD ROOMMATE
Have you ever had to share a home with a stranger or even a close friend, only to find out you can't live together? Living with other people is difficult, especially when each person comes from a different background and has their own ideas about how they want to live. Most people at some point must learn to cope with the challenges of having a roommate. The following is a list of suggestions to help you share your living space harmoniously.
Steps
- Find a good roommate to begin with. It can be tempting to select a roommate on the basis of how friendly they are, but you're better off judging them on the basis of day to day living compatibility.
- Compare their daily habits to yours:
Are they early risers or night owls?
Are they sloppy or neat?
Do they smoke or do any other kinds of recreational drugs?
What kind of music do they listen to and, more importantly, do they particularly enjoy listening to it when it's loud? - Be upfront as to your expectations. Set boundaries and stick with them. This applies to food, clothes, possessions, loud activities, use of common areas, parties, quiet hours, cleaning responsibilities, and so on.
- Respect each other’s privacy and personal space. This is especially important if you share a small living area. Make a clear delineation between your stuff and your roommate’s stuff. That way you are only responsible for your things. You must always ask before "borrowing" anything, no matter if it's trivial. Definitely take good care of any borrowed items.
- Follow through with your obligations. If you say you're going to clean the kitchen, pay your roommate back for your share of the lease or utilities, or call the landlord about a repair, then do it.
Be prepared to compromise. Not everyone has the same ideas about day to day living as you do. You can't ask your roommate to change himself or herself if you're not willing to change as well. - Clean up after yourself. This doesn't mean that you have to be a neat freak, but don't leave your dirty dishes in the sink for days on end, dump your things in the living room, or leave mountains of laundry all over the bedroom, especially if you share it with your roommate. Try to agree on a minimum standard of cleanliness that you'll all abide by.
- Be courteous of your roommate’s sleeping habits. If you are a night owl, keep your noise down and turn the lights down after your roommate goes to bed so you don't disturb them. If you go to bed early, don’t get exasperated with your roommate for their late hours, but at the same time try to find ways that you can sleep undisturbed. The same thing applies for rising in the morning.
- Spend time with your roommate. Say hello and goodbye, ask them how their day was, and show interest in his or her life. Getting to know the person you live with helps you understand their perspective, and allows them to understand yours. It also makes it easier to deal with problems that you have with that person if you’ve already established a rapport with them. Try to set a time in which you both can hang out at least once a week. Make dinner together, watch a movie, etc. Do something nice for your roommate every so often--make their bed, bake them cookies, or offer to give them a ride somewhere if they don't have a car.
- Stay flexible. Understand what’s going on in your roommate’s life, and accommodate them. If your roommate has a big test coming up, you should probably be quiet and let them study. If your roommate is busy and stressed with their job, give them some time and space to relax and unwind. Wouldn't you like your roommate to show you the same consideration?
- Communicate. As in any relationship, living with someone requires a great deal of work. Communication is key in making the relationship work well long-term, or even for a short time. If a problem comes up, it's better to talk about it right away than to try and ignore it and let it get worse.
Tips - Some people find it helpful to write up a "roommate agreement" in which you set down rules that everyone agrees on. This is a good way to make sure that everyone's clear on the rules for the apartment and their responsibilities. Have everyone sign a copy, and keep it on hand.
- Control the amount of noise you make. Wear headphones when you listen to music, and go into another room when you're on the phone. If you're going to engage in a noisy activity, it's a good idea to ask your roommate before you do it.
