1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

2. Marry someone you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be their most important quality.

3. Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

4. When you say, “I love you,” mean it.

5. When you say, “I’m sorry,” act like you mean it.

6. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

7. Believe in love at first sight.

8. Never laugh at anyone’s dream. Dreams offer hope.

10. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

11. Don’t judge people by their relatives.

12. Talk slowly but think quickly.

17. Remember the three R’s: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.

18. Allow nothing to ruin a great friendship because the great ones are truly rare.

19. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

I’ve set a grassroots fund-raising goal of $500 from the blog.

“I’m looking forward to hearing more about your positions – the American people appear to need some real messages, some real debate. I have always thought you were a good guy. Stay that way, if you would. As Gore to global warming, you are to issues of fairness. For myself, I would like to hear more about your ideas on international issues as well.

Incidentally, don’t you think that the telecommunications networks should have to carry more that the usual number of debates so that some of the issues really facing America can be discussed openly? After all, it is my understanding that the “airwaves” belong to everyone. The current administration is trying to cut funding for even the tiny of piece of it that calls itself public television, but I think that national debates should not be funded by campaign funds. That should be a service granted – gratis – by the media networks. And it sure would be nice if they loosened up on some of the rules of the regular debates. There could be a better format.

In smaller matters, I’m glad you kept the bloggers – but…. I’d rethink the favorite actor / director choice on this page.

A grin and a handshake -”

That was written before the bloggers “resigned” of course – right smack dab in the middle of the whole thing.

And the fave actor/director is listed as Paul Newman – who is great, of course, but…
