Quotes of the Day

According to HowAboutWe, meeting for drinks never goes out of style. It's the most suggested and positively-responded-to date idea on that site. If you or your date don't drink, independent coffee shops with a more personal vibe can be a good option. If a spot serves lattes in real mugs, it may be worth suggesting. The five most popular proposed dates on HowAboutWeare are culinary adventures, shows, desserts, sightseeing, and active dates (like Frisbee or Scrabble). [2013] - Laurie Davis

We try to boost monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) closer to 50-55%, while cutting saturated fatty acids (SFA) down to 15-20% and adjusting total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) to fill the gap. Putting all these changes into practice typically means eating more extra virgin olive oil (and high-MUFA vegetable oils) and avocados and nuts, cutting back on (but not necessarily eliminating) things like butter and lard, and reducing the omega-6-rich corn, soybean, and sunflower oils-while also looking for ways to increase high-omega-3 marine PUFAs from sources such as salmon and anchovies (or taking EPA and DHA supplements in capsule or oil form). [2023] - Peter Attia

Invent several options all equally acceptable to you and ask the other side which one they prefer. You want to know what is preferable, not necessarily what is acceptable. You can then take that option, work with it some more, and again present two or more variants, asking which one they prefer. [1991] - Roger Fisher

Adding humor to advertisements increases sales. [2004] - Allan Pease

For Week 1, set a "threshold bedtime" and "threshold rise time" that will limit your time in bed (sleep restriction): 1) Pick a rise time that you can maintain 7 days per week; 2) Take your total sleep time in hours (to the nearest half hour). If this number is less than 5.0 hours, then replace it with 5.0; 3) Take your threshold rise time and subtract your total sleep time. E.g. if your threshold rise time is 6:00 am and your total sleep time is 6.0 hours, your threshold bedtime will be midnight. Go to bed only when sleepy and not before your threshold bedtime. Leave the bed if you can't fall asleep or go back to sleep within 10-15 minutes. Return when sleeping. Repeat this step as often as necessary during the night. [2021] - Judith R. Davidson
