what i learned in my mediation class this week

• I will never, ever, ever date a guy named Ted
• The line "There is only ONE creep in my life and he's sitting across the table from me!" is guaranteed to get a laugh
• Nick was a university department chair in another life
• If a guy tells you he thinks he's falling in love with you on your 4th date, there's a 1 in 4 chance that he's going to end up beating the crap out of you
• Any expression of any kind of sentiment, or any statement at all for that matter, should be responded to with the statement "So you're saying . . ." or "So I sense that . . ."
• If your child is getting Ds in gym class, it's probably because her goth boots are weighing her down
• The best way to solve money issues with your roommate is to hold a bake sale
• Have I mentioned that guys named Ted are CREEPS!
• the right answer is always "empowerment" or "recognition"
• oh yeah, and something about the transformative framework?
