Answer
Here is an edited list of short phrases about smiles.

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.

Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.

A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks.

A smile is the universal welcome.

Every time you smile at someone, it is a gift to that person

Smile, it's the second best thing you can do with your lips.

Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.

Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart.

When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have a 1000 reasons to smile.

If you see a friend without a smile; give him one of yours.

You haven't lost your smile at all, it's right under your nose. You just forgot it was there.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring.

Don't cry for a man who's left you, the next one may fall for your smile.

There are hundreds of languages in the world, but a smile speaks all.

Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.

Let us always meet each other with smile

A smile happens in a flash, but its memory can last a lifetime.

A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.

If someone is too tired to give you a smile, leave one of your own.

If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love.

Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening.

Get up and dance, get up and smile,

One who smiles rather than rages is always the stronger.

A smile will gain ten more years of life.

A smile increases your face value.
.
Children learn to smile from their parents.

Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other.

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.

The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.

Smiling is infectious,
You can catch it like the flu.
Someone smiled at me today,
And I started smiling too.

You're never fully dressed without a smile.

A smile is the light in the window of your face that tells people you're at home.

When you're smiling
When you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you.

No matter how grouchy you're feeling,
You'll find the smile more or less healing.
It grows in a wreath
All around the front teeth -
Thus preserving the face from congealing.

Smile! It irritates people

Good luck.

Planning for a big wedding in the future, any suggestions?

CallmeVee

Hey everyone, for the record, I am a lesbian and I'd appreciate it if only OPEN MINDED people answer my question.
I'm about to be 24 next month, and my girlfriend is 25. We love each other very much and I've always been the type to plan ahead. I have a ton of reasons on why I do it.
Any how, my girlfriend wants a big wedding and so do I. Today I asked her what kind of ring she'd like, she said a platinum diamond ring. I looked at some online and it made me want to marry her tomorrow. lol Very beautiful. To sum this all up, we're not traditional people, I don't want my dad walking me down the isle, I also don't want our fathers paying for the wedding seeing that it will be two women getting married so it's not like, "So is your dad paying or mine?" and I doubt either of us will be wearing white. The reason I don't want them to pay is because she's going to be MY wife, which means I'm supposed to give her what she wants and give her the wedding she dreams about.
I plan on moving out the state for a higher paying job, just for a little while so I can save up thousands of dollars.
Now she and I have only talked so much about the wedding in the future, but I think of it everyday because I want to get started on saving now! I'm sure I'm gonna buy her a ring that's around 1 to 3 thousand dollars. Just like every woman, we want our wedding to be beautiful. What would be a good price range for a big beautiful wedding?

and FYI, no my girl is not a gold digger, nor is she money hungry. She's a true definition of Independent. She does everything on her own, she does SO-MUCH for everyone and doesn't like for anyone to do anything for her, not even me! So it'd be a blessing to give her the wedding she wants. We're high school sweethearts and I just want her to be happy.
Can you ladies (and gents) please give me some advice? I'd really appreciate it.

Answer
Firstly , from what I read & see the majority of couples getting married these days do pay for their own wedding.( at least in western cultures) So what you are considering is NOT unusual there.
AS to having your father walking you down the aisle- That is entirely your choice as well. Having him ''escort '' you down the aisle does not mean that he has ""to give you away"" during the ceremony.
I have been to weddings where the bride walked alone, with her mother, both parents, child, father & stepfather together or in tandem. with the groom & even with the ex husband :-) . Also I have seen stories where both parties have been escorted down the aisle by their parents.
When each of my nephews got married they included the wording "" Who brings this man to this marriage"" as part of the ceremony as well as "" Who brings this woman"" : notice the words were NOT ** who gives**

You can have a big wedding as in numbers without necessarily spending BIG $$$$. Having said this though you need to be creative, ask for / accept help from family & friends. Someone may be very artistic & would be delighted to make your invitations as a gift to you. Another person make be a great cake maker & thrilled to make your cake.

Think outside the square in regards to your outfits ; look at all sorts , not just ones called wedding dresses etc. I saw a picture of a magnificent citrus green dress recently.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1209407_10151871310189516_1132350750_n.jpg

What you both need to do is to sit down & work out an affordable budget for you & plan around that.
No -one else can tell you what a beautiful wedding is - as everyone has their own ideas about that.
Before you start sending out invitations to everyone you know - just so you have BIG numbers- stop & think about who is important in your life. Do you interact with ABC on a regular basis? would you ask DEF to your place to dinner? How long is it since you have seen Great Aunt Jo? Have these people been a significant part of your lives in recent years.Only ask the people who you really want to be with you to share your day, regardless of whether that only turns out to be 30 people or if it is 100.

Also consider do you want your celebration to be a relaxed event or something more formal.
How much would you like to actually interact with you guests on the day. The more people you have attending the harder that is to do.
Assume that everyone you invite will attend . Yes there will be some who for whatever reason wont be able to make it . BUT you don't invite 100 people when you can really only afford to cater for 80 & hope that at least 20 will say they cant come.
You may well decide that a relaxed cocktail party type of event will give you more of a chance to mingle than if you had a formal sit down dinner.
Have a look at the following site for some ideas:-

offbeatbride.com

http://offbeatbride.com/filed/real-weddings/global
http://offbeatbride.com/2013/08/massachusetts-camp-wedding
http://offbeatbride.com/2013/07/georgia-games-wedding


I have included some links to some specific pages , just for you to see quickly how diverse weddings can be,
Look through the archives section as well.

Keep in mind that your wedding should be a reflection of who you & your partner are - NOT someone else's idea of what a wedding should be.

The things I have said here are what I would say to my own kids - all of whom are now adults.

Also in regards to rings - don't just look at the $$$ for the ring ; look first at styles that your partner likes & something that she is going to be happy wearing. If you find something that she absolutely loves & it is only $500 , then that is what you get. There may be one sitting beside it that is priced at $5000- but she does not like it - so forget that one. The $$$ value is not important .

I hope that I have given you some things to think about & GOOD LUCK with your plans.

How do you fall out of love with someone?

best gift ideas for men 2013 image

juliejcc

I am having such a hard time getting over a man who I consider to be my one true love. Could people please give me suggestions or ideas of some of the methods they have used that worked for them to help them fall out of love and move on with their lives after their most painful break ups?

Answer
It's a cliche, but time helps - just filling it in with productive and fun things. You don't have to go out flirting at bars right away, unless that's what you find fun.

What I did was spend time with my friends and family as much as possible. I also talked about how I felt with trusted friends and soon began to feel better (a diary was also very helpful for things I felt I couldn't say). Resting and gentle, fun exercise like a walk somewhere in nature such as a beach (or better yet a holiday) will lift your spirits.

Immediately though, get rid of presents and gifts your ex gave you, and remove photos from online accounts and photo albums. You don't have to destroy photos or gifts, just put them somewhere out of sight. Also, delete their email address, phone number and online friend links from your online accounts if you are not tied to them financially or with children.

If you feel angry because perhaps the relationship ended in a bad way from their side, don't resort to being petty such as sending nasty texts, visiting their house to harass them or their family members, or nasty messages online, or calling in a weird voice or making up reasons to.

This next while should be about showing kindness and grace toward friends and family who care for you, and your own personal growth and change. So the last thing you can do soon or immediately is a shopping trip (if you can), or some pampering at home, combined with some new goals for 2013.

It will take time, but you will emerge a better person for addressing your feelings with grace and kindness. If the man is nasty to you or people close to you, that will help you get over him all the more, showing you that you deserve better, because you're dealing with the same situation in a much better way. As a rough guess, a year for each year you were with him will be how long it takes if you were closely involved.

You can do it!

Why have health care costs increased increased so exponentially in the last thirty or so years?

PaulDrake

I'm looking for a detailed in depth answer and not the usual polemics and talking points. When I was younger I had jobs that did not provide health insurance and was able to incur some costs that would ruin me today , but did not in that time. What exactly has happened to get us into the unfortunate place we find ouselves now?

Answer
It's a combination of things, primarily governmental bad choices and the HANDFUL of large insurers who DOMINATE health care.

A FEW examples of how the government drives up costs:

the laundry list of nonsense states require in order to allow a plan to be sold in their state. There is NO good reason for this. If someone wants a "barebones" plan and the company is solvent, let it be offered, instead of stupidly DEMANDING that chiropractic care be offered, or something else that some people won't want.

When we have government programs (and we have SEVERAL: Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP, IHS, VA, as well as other programs that allow more income than Medicare, but that's the concept), ALL should do everything possible to reduce costs. Example: the VA logically allows for negotiated prescription med prices, Medicare is prohibited. End result: far more expense for the taxpayer and the patient. ALSO those on Medicare a decade ago who had an HMO version typically got drug coverage that is BETTER than the current idiocy of the "donut hole" that they've all apparently converted to now. Thanks, Uncle Sam.

Freebies for "charity hospitals." Fact is the bulk of hospitals have this designation and are tax-exempt. The idea was that they'd give back the equivalent of their tax pass to the public they are supposed to serve. Fact: the majority fail to do so. See CAGW--Citizens Against GovernmentWaste--also check out specifially IL AG's Madigan's attempt to get them to get on board with that.

AWP BS--AWP is the "Average Wholesale Price" of drugs. It's a fictional story designed to bump up government payment to drug companies.

ERISA shield--most folks with insurance still get it through work. ERISA has been misapplied by the courts and folks with insurance that way can be denied treatment their plan SHOULD cover with impunity. IF they damage the patient, all they can be out in court is what the treatment that was denied would cost. IF they can win the "drag it out" lottery and the patient dies, they can't even be fined! Read Jamie Cort's book "HMOs: Making a Killing."

See the testimony of Meidinger re: the routine bad accounting principles where they get GIFTS that other businesses and certainly PEOPLE would pay tax on and don't: http://www.ftc.gov/reports/healthcare/040723healthcarerpt.pdf

Also government routinely tries to balance their Medicare Ponzi scheme on the backs of doctors--who are stopping taking this bogus system:
http://www.massmed.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=vs_mar05_top&TEMPLATE=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&CONTENTID=11037
"That dark cloud lurking over the shoulder of every Massachusetts physician is Medicare. If Congress does not act, doctors' payments from Medicare will be cut by about 5 percent annually, beginning next year through 2012, creating a financial hailstorm that would wreak havoc with already strained practices.

Cumulatively, the proposed cuts represent a 31 percent reduction in Medicare reimbursement. If the cuts are adjusted for practice-cost inflation, the American Medical Association says Medicare payment rates to physicians in 2013 would be less than half of what they were in 1991."
The media who refuse to report these facts wouldn't take that kind of pay cut OR any pay cut.

Insurers bad faith is quite common. Examples include:

Linda Peeno, MD comes clean about how insurers deny claims to save money, NOT to follow the policy agreement:
http://www.thenationalcoalition.org/DrPeenotestimony.html

more bad faith, esp. with United Health Care:
http://www.newsmax.com/medicine_men/medical_insurance/2008/01/03/61543.html


attempted end runs to make sure they get their excessive demands met by now using flat out predatory lending practices:
http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/nov2007/db20071120_397008.htm

I could go on--I've studied these things for some time now. On the bright side, the current system could be VASTLY improved with some sensible changes, including:

price transparency--no reason why prices can't be posted up front and before the fact. Many expenses are NOT for emergencies and people should be able to shop around and make an INFORMED financial decision, which they are DENIED now, though this is the ONLY industry in which that is allowed. (If you're a car repair shop and you don't follow the law on estimates, not only are you SOL you may not be able to get ONE CENT for work done. You don't see them laughing at the law much in those states on car repair.)

EVERYONE should be required for all non-emergency procedures, to give the patient the bottom line bill. The insurer should be legally required to pay what he says he will BARRING fraud. Any LIKELY procedures should be simarly costed out and locked in. Example: angiogram? Good chance you'll need an angioplasty and the cardiologist might want to do it there and then. Have him do the medical informed consent AND have the bill costed out for JUST the angiogram AND the angioplasty IF needed--takes a lot of pressure off everyone as well. No reason for anyone to object. We all know if a patient codes on the table, there will be additional charges, but that doesn't happen often and as it is a medical emergency, you have to treat it.

Oh and "compassionate entry" is costing us a LOT. The Border Patrol is told specifically to let in illegals who are sick for care they know the taxpayer will have to pay for:
"Dickson emphasizes that not all the free care is going to illegal aliens passing through on their way to other states. About half goes to Mexicans who use the Copper Queen as their personal emergency-care facility. In effect, the hospital, which performs general surgery, has become the trauma center for that stretch of northern Mexico. If an ambulance pulls up to the border-crossing point near Bisbee and announces "compassionate entry," the border patrol waves it through, and the Copper Queen is compelled to treat the patient. It is one more program that Congress mandates but does not pay for. "If you make me treat someone," says Dickson, "then you need to pay me. You can't have unfunded mandates in a small hospital." Although the Medicare drug act that passed last year provides for modest payments to hospitals that treat illegal aliens, Dickson says there is a catch that the U.S. government has yet to figure out. "How do I document an undocumented alien? How am I going to prove I rendered that care? They have no Social Security number, no driver's license.'"
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,995145-7,00.html

Frankly, more can be said, but if you're interested in a PLAN that makes sense (we need to do something with the huge sums we spend on the government programs we ALREADY have millions enrolled in), then here it is and it's being ignored by the pols because there's nothing in it for them apparently. (I found this months ago and sent a good summary and link to the FREE PDF and the federal level ones ignore the hell out of it.) Check it out and see what you think: no increased individual taxes, no mandates for employers, but a funding solution that solves another problem in the system:
http://www.booklocker.com/books/3068.html

Oh and that plan would work because when you get something close to a free market, it DOES work:

Check out LASIK prices over a decade--did they go up 120% like Medicare premiums did (1998: $43.80, 2008 $96.40) or did they drop like a rock? Why did they drop--few third-party payers involved.

Ditto plastic surgery--look at the cost of a "tummy tuck" which is MAJOR abdominal surgery and compare with a MEDICALLY NECESSARY uncomplicated appendectomy if you're uninsured. The appy will bankrupt you in many cases.

Walk-in clinics (Wal-Mart, CVS, grocery stores) be seen in a short time and treated for around $100--from sprains to upper respiratory infections, strep throat, etc.

How has technology advanced since the 1960s?

best gift ideas for men 2013 image

Question M

So, how has technology advanced from 1963 to today? What is different and what is the same? What might we see from 2013 to 2063?

Answer
You do not know. We got electric in 1969. Some of the last on rule electrification. I seen my first computer in high school assembly. It was 18 inch's wide, 4 foot long, and 24 tall. In a wooden box. And could do some math. They said it was the future and we had a good laugh at that one. I bought my first hand held calculator in 1969. $20 buy the same today for $2. A days wages for one. In 5th grade a transistor radio was a hot Christmas gift. Few got one. Crews control in a car. Pull out the throttle cable and take your foot of the gas. In the 60s if you were willing to work you could always make out with a shovel and strong back. In truth the world changed in 1969,1970. I was very fortunate. Grandfather was the last blacksmith in the county. Hammer and forge man. And a good one.last of the horse wagons as well in towns, We seen the last of the old days pass away. In 1970 augers did the same work micro switch's for control, earning your way with a shovel died,we took the last mules to the tankage plant. As power skiders could get back in the swamp to log. And the world is changing again. What it will be I have no idea. But in high school I had no idea as well what today would be. I do know that after high school I only had 7 jobs were mules were involved. And we packed in our computers and solar cells to run them. I got those jobs because you young kids are dumb enough to walk behind a mule and don't think they bite at the other end. It has changed that much. From 1969 to today it became the electronic age. When I was in school if a show was on T.V they wanted you to watch. They made sure you could go to some ones house that had a T.V. I remember seeing my first color T.V. The color was so pale. And the sets so sensitive they had to be set in a vibration free area and dark room. But that technology created more jobs than they took. Expanding pros parity. To days technology does away with more jobs than it creates. And that I think is going to be a problem. The best will do well. I am retied now and hope I do not need to care about that. Because my skills are being rapidly out dated. Just like my grandfathers were. He was good,one of the best. But that way died with him. Today your a year out of the job market your skills are old fashion skills.

How do you fall out of love with someone?

juliejcc

I am having such a hard time getting over a man who I consider to be my one true love. Could people please give me suggestions or ideas of some of the methods they have used that worked for them to help them fall out of love and move on with their lives after their most painful break ups?

Answer
It's a cliche, but time helps - just filling it in with productive and fun things. You don't have to go out flirting at bars right away, unless that's what you find fun.

What I did was spend time with my friends and family as much as possible. I also talked about how I felt with trusted friends and soon began to feel better (a diary was also very helpful for things I felt I couldn't say). Resting and gentle, fun exercise like a walk somewhere in nature such as a beach (or better yet a holiday) will lift your spirits.

Immediately though, get rid of presents and gifts your ex gave you, and remove photos from online accounts and photo albums. You don't have to destroy photos or gifts, just put them somewhere out of sight. Also, delete their email address, phone number and online friend links from your online accounts if you are not tied to them financially or with children.

If you feel angry because perhaps the relationship ended in a bad way from their side, don't resort to being petty such as sending nasty texts, visiting their house to harass them or their family members, or nasty messages online, or calling in a weird voice or making up reasons to.

This next while should be about showing kindness and grace toward friends and family who care for you, and your own personal growth and change. So the last thing you can do soon or immediately is a shopping trip (if you can), or some pampering at home, combined with some new goals for 2013.

It will take time, but you will emerge a better person for addressing your feelings with grace and kindness. If the man is nasty to you or people close to you, that will help you get over him all the more, showing you that you deserve better, because you're dealing with the same situation in a much better way. As a rough guess, a year for each year you were with him will be how long it takes if you were closely involved.

You can do it!

Are all states going to be required to recognize gay marriage licenses like the recognize concealed weapons..?

You're Wel

permits from other states?

Answer
Do you honestly believe that it will stop with gay marriage?

Liberals mock Republicans for claiming that we are on a moral "Slippery Slope," but letâs look at the facts.

Not long ago gays proclaimed: âItâs none of your business what I do in the bedroom!â But their gay âlifestyleâ somehow left the bedroom and is today being taught to school children (âHeather Has Two Mommiesâ is a text book in NYC schools).

Then âthe slopeâ steepened:

-8/18/12 foxnews.com: California law barring parents from 'curing' gay children moves through legislature.

French gays have an even better idea:
-10/11/12 http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012⦠Legislation that would legalize same-sex marriage and give homosexual couples the right to adopt children also would replace the terms âmotherâ and âfatherâ with âparent 1â and âparent 2â in all legal documents, including birth certificates.

But why stop at âgay rightsâ?

-11/2/12 http://www.campusreform.org/blog/?ID=448⦠Evergreen State College in Washington State: A public schoolâs ânon-discrimination policyâ allows 45 year-old Colleen Francis, a biological male who identifies as a woman, to use the womenâs locker room and restrooms. The police report states that Colleen was âsitting with her legs open with her male genitalia showingâ with girls as young as six years old present.

-8/13/12 theblaze.com: Democrat Mary Gonzalez, Texas House of Representative, defines herself as âpansexual,â attracted to men, women, men who identify as women, women who identify as men, and everything in between....â

Whatâs next? Incest?

Woody Allen had an affair with his daughter-in-law. Morgan Freeman had an affair with his granddaughter-in-law.

How long will it be before Hollywood gifts us with a movie about this couple?
11/6/12 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-â¦
-A father and daughter confessed on television last night to spending seven years in a sexual relationship and conceiving two children. "John and I are in this relationship as consenting adults." âWe are just asking for a little bit of respect and understanding."

In a recent episode of the History Channelâs miniseries âMidwifeâ an elderly brother and sister lived together incestuously for decades. When the two died in each otherâs arms -- he of cancer, she of suicide -- the head nun (yes, a nun) eulogized: âItâs not who you love thatâs important, itâs love itself that defines human beings.â

Oh, look! Hereâs another lifestyle!

-2/26/12 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-co⦠CBC News, Canada: A Vancouver man is set to go to trial for bestiality. Brian Cutteridge, 38, engaged in sexual acts with his dog. Two years ago he published a paper called For the Love of Dog: On the Legal Prohibition of Zoophilia in Canada and the United States. "He feels very strongly that that should be something that's legal." "He feels those relationship with his dogs are equivalent to a marriage-type relationship...â

And another!

âBut there is a growing conviction, notably in Canada, that paedophilia should probably be classified as a distinct sexual orientation, like heterosexuality or homosexuality.â
