Quotes of the Day

The most efficient use of time is to do one thing and to pay full attention to it. This "unitasking", sometimes termed "flow", is also the most satisfying way to spend moments. We allow ourselves to be content and absorbed. [2017] - Elizabeth Blackburn

Condominiums generally sell more slowly than single-family houses. [2006] - Douglas Gray

When you are trapped in the sticky situation of not knowing who or what the heck everyone is talking about, pull one person aside and confide in her. Ask for information on what or whom they are discussing. [2009] - Leil Lowndes

In my own research program in the 1970s and 1980s on experimental rats, as well as in The China Study, we repeatedly established the ability of higher consumption of the milk-based protein casein to dramatically increase a growth hormone associated with increased cancer development. In contrast, high levels of a "low-quality" wheat protein had the opposite effect. Due to its "deficiency" in the amino acid lysine, the wheat protein prevented cancer development. (We know that the missing lysine was responsible for this change because when lysine was restored, cancer growth resumed to the same level as for the casein.) [2020] - T. Colin Campbell

Here are some reasons you may have chemistry but no second date: 1) The person is on a serious hunt for "the one." He doesn't think that's you, and he doesn't want to waste time, no matter how great you are. 2) The person is still emotionally attached to someone else. 3) The person is just charming. Everyone feels chemistry with him, but he's actually very picky about who to get involved with. 4) Some crisis intervenes, and the person is no longer in the mood for dating. Don't take it personally; move on and don't worry about it. Look for a true connection. [2014] - Pepper Schwartz
