Friend...quote by Julian Ayrs!

A true friend is there

to lift you up

the moment an unfortunate misstep

results in a precarious fall from

Gary Busey...fu**ed up misquote!

VHI reporters were a little taken aback when a rough-'n-tumble actor Gary Busey - looking for all-the-world like he was stoned out of his ever-living gourd - waxed philosophically on the subject of changes as he trotted by on a mad (the key word here!) dash to a gig.

"All that changes is changes," the wild-eyed thespian spat out to a giggling reporter (and startled camera-crew in tow) as he sped by.

Say what?

The media hounds couldn't make hide-or-tail of the little nugget of wisdom.

No wonder!

"Busey, you freak," I screamed, as I tossed a flip-flop at the boob-tube in exasperation.

The flaky actor screwed it up!

I short poem I penned a few years back said it best.

"The only thing constant in life is change."

Got it, bonehead?

Not a bad observation about the natural order of things in the Universe, even if I do say so myself!

Change is constant...quote!

The only thing constant is change

Therefore,

the wise man digests and acknowledges the past

Then, moves on confidently

with an enlightened perspective on life

Ann Landers...sound advice rings true today!

Never throw pearls before swine!

Years ago I use to read Ann Landers daily.

I'll always recall one tidbit of advice that she offered up that I still pay heed to today.

A reader, if I recall correctly, was asking Ann about the wisdom of writing a note to a friend to get something off their chest since a confrontation in person was too stressful to deal with emotionally.

I'll always remember her response.

First, the popular columnist noted that when people were upset they often said or did things they might be ashamed of later when their heels had cooled a little.

Ann cautioned that if they were inclined to write a note in a moment of anger - then dash out to the mail box for the next pick up by the U.S. Post Office - that it may be a better idea to put the envelope in a drawer overnight.

"The next morning read the letter before you're about to post it. If you feel the same way as you did in the heat of the moment, then mail it. Chances are, you won't."

She went on to point out that this kind of prudent action might just save a friendship or prevent a love interest from walking.

I adhere to that rule of thumb, today.

However, in the age of home PC's and high-speed e-mail delivery, the rules may have been rewritten a smidgen to adapt to technology in the new millennium.

For example, if you're getting ready to zip off a nasty e-mail to a friend that has annoyed you, save it as a draft, first.

The next morning if the missive stills seems an appropriate way to deal with the misunderstanding, then hit "send" by all means.

Wait for the reply.

But, if the stress is too great to deal with, just input their name and e-mail address in the preferences mode under "block".

It's kind of like hiding your head in the sand - or delaying the inevitable - but at least you'll manage to avoid a confrontation.

And, just maybe the truth, eh?

Samuel Taylor Coleridge:

"Advice is like snow; the softer it falls the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind."

Cathleen Fuller played Ann Landers in

"The Lady with All the Answers."
