No.
Oh boy. I need to print this out and hang it on my wall. Saying "no" is one of my main issues in life. Like you, when I agree to do something I don't want to do, I feel resentment. And yes, I have been a victim of the same Catholic-guilt reflex. But hey, if you can do it...— January 8, 2013 4:16 p.m.

Sweet People
I lived in Texas for 12 years. This story is spot on regarding the cultural differences between California and Texas. It took me a while after moving back to California to get used to people not turning themselves inside out to be polite. Also, in Texas, once you pass a certain point of a friendship, you are automatically considered family. In spite of all the sweet politeness, I would still rather be here in California. Texans can change rapidly after a few drinks.— November 7, 2012 1:52 p.m.
Shark Tank
Great story. And I so relate to your experience. When I was growing up in New Jersey, bullying was not only verbal, it was physical. I was a scared and scrawny child and an easy mark. Day after day, I was someone's punching bag, until my Uncle Frank (a semi-pro boxer) took me down the basement of my parent's home and taught me a few pugilistic skills. I still remember that day in the fourth grade when I had my first TKO. I was wearing my starched, white Holy Communion dress. That day is when I realized that my family and a mean right hook were all that really mattered.— October 17, 2012 2:17 p.m.
