It sounds like she is still acting out some childhood slight you may or may not have caused her and she is still seeking her pound of flesh. But she is really n
262o match for you. Ignore her tirades, she really just wants to draw you into an old fight she is still having in her head. Take a long bath in your new bathroom and pat yourself on the back for a job well done. If not for you, the toilets might be flushing backwards right now.  <br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span> <span style=""></span><span style=""></span> <em><strong>Chopstick:</strong></em> What your sister needs is what my german grandmother used to do in these situations, <em style="">&ldquo;zwei schmatzen und raus.&rdquo; </em>Give her two smacks and tell her to get out.

He lies about almost everything. The other day he told me he lost his cellphone and that it was his friend's fault, when he actually dropped it in the toilet. Is it too much to get some truth out of him? -Exasperated Dad<br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span> <span style=""></span><span style=""></span> <em>Dear Exaspy,  </em><br /><span style=""></span><span style=""></span> <strong>Abby: </strong>As Judge Judy once said, &ldquo;you can tell your teenager is lying because their lips are moving.&rdquo; Teenagers lie, especially obnoxious, self-absorbed, grandiose, self-righteous, entitled feeling teenager

While you are patiently waiting for this to happen, go for a walk, get a drink from your bowl. And ground him for a month.  <br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span> <span style=""></span><span style=""></span> <strong>Chopstick:</strong> Liar, liar pants on fire!

Please help. -Angry Associate<br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span> <em>Dear Angry A,  </em><br /><strong>Abby:</strong> Angry dogs attract angry dogs. Happy dogs attract almost everyone. Be sure you ask nicely. Explain that you are doing a difficult assignment and you need full concentration. If your kindness is rebuffed, then ask your boss to talk to her boss. Or asked to be moved. If that doesn't work, buy earplugs.<br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span> <span style=""></span><span style=""></span> <strong>Chopstick:</strong> Eat the most obnoxious food you can find.

He is mean and yells and screams like he's terrible  two's, but he's over 40. How can I bring some sanity to my workplace? -  Disgruntled Employee<br /> <br /><strong style="">Abby:</strong>  Your boss sounds like a rogue pit bill who needs more nap time. Their  insanity is not your insanity.  His tantrums are about him, not you. If  he doesn't like the job you're doing, he can talk to you like a normal  person. He is probably just angry, hungry, lonely or tired. Pet his  tummy and sincerely compliment him once in a while.<br /><br /> <strong style="">Chopstick:</strong> Your dog sounds like a real hairball.

Accept that she has your best interests  at heart, even if they're way-off-base, completely backward and  horribly distorted. When she starts in, thank her for her concern and  advice, and politely, but firmly tell her you've got it from here.  <br /><br /> <strong style="">Chopstick:</strong> Your mom has too much free time on her paws.

When you are focused on what you are doing fully and with joy, and have no thought or care about the result, while you're doing it, then you will achieve your best results. <br /><br />I've seen people be their most successful when they are convinced they are doing it "wrong."<br /><br /><strong>Do the Opposite</strong><br /><br />"There is no way this is going to work," and that's when it comes out great. It's like that Seinfeld episode I used to watch where George the loser says, <a title="" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKUvKE3bQlY" target="_blank">"I will do the opposite,"</a> of all of his initial thoughts and he becomes a huge success. <br /><br />I saw my co-author Roger do this once. He had to meet people at a theater downtown and he forgot to take directions and his sense of smell is terrible. He was walking me around looking for the place and then he finally said, "I don't know where the theater is, I'm lost. Just for kicks I am just going to walk down the wrong street. I know it's not on this street."&nbsp; <br /><br />About halfway down the street, we both saw the sign for the theater. </font><br /><font color="#000000"><br /><strong>How to get into the Ivy Leagues the Wrong Way</strong></font><br /><span></span><font color="#000000"><br />My friend's person got into Brown University this way.

He wrote it, he said, because he "didn't give a crap about what they thought because I knew I had no chance of getting in."<br /><br />But he wrote the essay because he loves writing and he felt free and great doing it. He graduated four years later and is a published author today with a new book coming out spring of 2013. <br /></font></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>

Do you find angry people everywhere? If you're having trouble in y
526our relationships with bosses, spouses, family members or strangers, notice what part you may be playing in the drama. </font><br /><br /><span></span><font color="#000000">The answer to better relationships is to change <em>you</em> first, then the rest follows. </font><span></span><font color="#000000">Here are 5 tips from the book <a title="" target="_blank" href="https://www.createspace.com/3968407">&ldquo;Pee On It and Walk Away: How to Stay Stress-Free Among Difficult People. Life Lessons from Superdog Abby&rdquo;</a> that can help you have happier, healthier relationships. Starting with yourself.<br /><br /><strong>1. Eat Properly</strong> &ndash; Seriously. An empty stomach and your gas tank is low. Don't run or walk on empty. We need fuel to think better and to make wise decisions. But eat healthy food. Unhealthy food, i.e. processed foods, refined sugars, can affect your mood for the worse. More greens and less snack cakes. <br /><br /><strong>2. Find A friend&nbsp;</strong> - or a group of like minded people. If you are not the social type, find a group of people who don't like to talk. Is there a meetup or organization in your area where you can go and hang out? Your body and soul thrives on company. <br /><strong><br />3. Like Attracts Like.</strong> Happiness starts with you. If you are cranky, you will attract cranky people. If you are happy (or pretend to be), happiness will follow and you won't have to fake it for long. <br /><br /><strong>4. Take A Nap</strong> -&nbsp; Make the time to rest. Your body needs to refuel. Sleep eight hours. Meditate for 5 minutes. Run into a closet and take 5 deep breaths. You are not a hero if you exhaust yourself for your job, spouse, children, friends, you are just worn out. <br /><strong><br />5. Cultivate a/Your Spiritual Practice</strong> - Choose something that comforts your soul and makes your heart sing. Everyday. Several times a day. All True Paths lead to Heaven.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Esther Yang and Roger Ziegler</strong> - Authors of "Pee On It and Walk Away:&nbsp; Life <br />lessons from Superdog Abby.&rdquo; Funny, simple wisdoms that create Everybody Wins solutions to life's challenging and most difficult situations. <a title="" target="_blank" href="http://www.peeandwalk.com">www.peeandwalk.com&nbsp; </a><br /><br /><span style=""></span><br /><span style=""></span></font> </div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>
