Just so you know stuff...

1. Are you a fan of Sarah Palin. Then, you should go to Sarah Palin Digest, to help you learn everything you can about her.

2. The Martyr Personality is a tricky one.

The characteristics of neurotic martyrdom in adulthood can be summarized as follows: The person cares for and helps others while sacrificing their own needs.[snip]

On a deeper level, martyrs are very needy for love. Unfortunately, they unconsciously believe that the only way they can get love is through suffering. The suffering makes them feel special and wanted, and it brings meaning to their life. Their suffering is tied to their ego. They are actually proud of it. Take away their suffering and they seem lost.

It's interesting to read, if you are having to deal with a Martyr/Victim type. You will see it's a No Win Scenario.

It is easy to pass up on this type of person to have a relationship with, but, when they are in your family, it is difficult and frustrating. You really, really have to make up your mind not to let this person make you crazy or feel guilty because they really will not allow you to be nice to them. They must 'out-nice' you. You must accept this.

If one is not emotionally programed to function with a Martyr type, as I am not, one must just set the boundaries and carry on. One must dust off any negative feelings that are brought up from within, and just deal with it.

So yeah. That's about all there is to it.

3. A Waste Of Money Study, judging your personality on your sleep position. What does that have to do with any thing there is about anybody, anyway?

It's really all about snoring. That's what puts a strain on thousands of marriages. All they had to do, was ask all the wives, of men who snore, and the women would have told them -- he sleeps this way (whatever position, she could draw a picture, as that is inexpensive), and he snores, and I feel like punching him in the jaw, but I don't so I'm tired as all get no sleep and I am grumpy, and then I ask my doctor for sleeping medication for myself --

But see, there's the winner part. Instead of the money being spent on that ridiculous study, they could just supply the women with sleeping pills for free! Husbands don't have broken jaws, wives are happy because they are rested ...

Now, how easy is that?

4. When you get as old as me, which is Older Than Jackson Browne, you really begin to know things For Sure. And you also begin to realize that - There's Not a Whole Lot You Can Do About a Whole Lotta Stuff -- so, just accept it, and move on. (Dancing and Smiling, of course!)

5. Everyone needs a grandchild.
