My mom loves forwards...
She does.
So first is this fun little story that explains why men shouldn't be allowed to write advice columns:
Walter's Problem Page
Dear Walter:
I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I had not gone more than a few hundred yards down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help.
When I got home, I could not believe my eyes. He was parading in front of the wardrobe mirror dressed in my underwear and high-heel shoes, and he was wearing my make up.
I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve years. When I confronted him, he tried to make out that he had dressed in my lingerie because he could not find his own underwear. However, when I asked him about the make up, he broke down and admitted that he had been wearing my clothes for six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him.
He was laid off from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum, he has become increasingly distant. I do not feel I can get through to him anymore. Can you please help?
Sincerely, Norma
Dear Norma:
A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of engine faults Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the jubilee clips holding the vacuum tubes onto the inlet manifold. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber. I hope this helps.

And here's this funny clip she sent--it's a Toyota commercial.

Change
Sometimes change has to happen. Right now? I need to get better at staying off the blogs, email and social networks and focus on my political philosophy homework. Descartes and Hobbes are calling my name.
Descartes dualistic view of the world and human souls utterly confuses me, but my professor tells me that the Cartesian method of discovering truth saturates modern thought. After all, his theories were a big part of the development of the scientific method--the way that most of us approach even simple, mundane tasks.
He said that by means of reason, the human soul is able to discern truth. We are free, able to do so.
But Descartes also said that the world was bound--amoral, finite and causal. So how could a soul within such a world have choice? Be free, moral, infinite?
Maybe I'll find out in class.
