Even if a girl says she wants complete honesty from you, she usually doesn't.<BR/><BR/>2. If your girlfriend asks you if think this other girl is cute, you better think fast and try to dodge the question.<BR/><BR/>3. Be careful how many wisecracks you make about your parents' age or weight.<BR/><BR/>4. Your mom may be smaller than you, but she has a black belt in intimidation.<BR/><BR/>There's other things I've learned, but I can't think of any more right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-1115072636672974932005-05-02T15:23:00.000-07:002005-05-02T15:23:00.000-07:00The power of asking good questions-- I agree, it i...The power of asking good questions-- I agree, it is a very good quality. I have been trying to grow that skill and I find it interesting how much "more" I hear of a conversation when I want to ask questions of someone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-1115072010974786682005-05-02T15:13:00.000-07:002005-05-02T15:13:00.000-07:00Zits is a comic strip!

That was exactly what I was going to ask!<BR/><BR/>Also, it sounds like Randy has a genuine interest in others, and that's a very attractive quality. Of course, if one is TRYING too hard to be attractive, they no longer have a genuine interest in in others! One of the most tiring things I've experienced is listening to someone go on and on about their own lives - activities, interests, opinions, and insignificant details..... It's true that sometimes these people need a listening ear, and I want to provide that for them, but for myself I hope I can remember not to bend someone's ear so long that it aches to be released!<BR/><BR/>It feels totally different when someone tells about their experiences for the purpose of encouraging me, or to share what God is teaching them. That's neat to hear. And I like hearing what's happening in general, too, just not meaningless details that never stop! Can the rest of you relate to that, or am I hard-hearted? : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-1115046671308717882005-05-02T08:11:00.000-07:002005-05-02T08:11:00.000-07:00Could Matt educate us on his lessons from zits?Could Matt educate us on his lessons from zits?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
