Killin' um with kindness

When all else fails, Kill um with kindness. When the world is at your back door with a riffle and a chain saw, you simply smile as if there is nothing to fear. A great example is the line of work I am in. Collecting on Discover accounts that over their line of credit, can be a challenge at times. I get called every name in the book. If anything, no one likes to be called about them owing money, so you can imagine how aweful there words can be. The best way to go about it, would be to brush it off, and kill them with kindness.
Jill was reminding me of a Seinfeld episode that I'm sure all you remember. Jerry gets a call from a telemarketer, and says that he would be happy to take their number and call them back. and then you here him say "oh, you probably don't like receiving calls from home, well neither do I" and then he hangs up on them!

I have learned that it is the best aproach in my personal life as well. There are particular people on this earth who want nothing more then to contend with me. I decided to put a stop to it, by simply taking the high road, with a big smile on my face. You can't please them all!

My funny for the week: Jamie made a comment about the montana drinking water being so fresh and cold, that it's comming right out of heavenly fathers refridgerator! It has been a blast hangin with you girl!


My mission papers are in, and I have my interview with my stake president this week. I survived my wisdom teeth being pulled. I honestly felt like I wanted to die the first 3 days after the surgery. It was awful to have it done the week there were 10 kids over here. I really needed ear plugs!
