Mothers send strips to daughters to make a point. Daughters smack strips down on the breakfast table to make a point. My own mom sometimes cuts a strip out and sends it to me to make sure I understand her.

My mom has always said that the one thing she wishes she had done differently is have a job. She felt like the single-mindedness made her a little nuts sometimes and she could have used an outlet for herself when we were little.

My mom drives me crazy sometimes but I have a good relationship with her.

When I was 5 some financial things happened and I moved seven times in a year. We moved from apartment to apartment sometimes living with friends. My mom would always say 'Don't get comfortable because we may not be here long.'

I get along with guys most of my friends are guys. It's easier to trust men sometimes. I only have a few close girlfriends that I trust.

Sometimes the first duty of intelligent men is the restatement of the obvious.

I have never met anyone who did not support our troops. Sometimes however we hear accusations that someone or some group does not support the men and women serving in our Armed Forces. But this is pure demagoguery and it is intellectually dishonest.

Sometimes I've been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men frightened by their wives or sweeties would give me a wide berth. And the ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character.

The truth is I've never fooled anyone. I've let men sometimes fool themselves.

Sometime they don't let you know that they know that they don't know everything but the core of the medical approach is that you try to identify pathologies which are subsystems within the human body or the larger system that are having undesirable consequences.
