Complainers change their complaints, but they never reduce the amount of time spent in complaining.

Let's not go through that again. Redirect it, reduce the amount of money spent, but let's not destroy it. Because you don't know 10 years out what you're going to face.

Fixed Income
'You are a spendthrift and should budget.
Economize your lifestyle.
And not seek reasons to fuss.
Limit your wants and provide first your needs.
Decrease your appetite,
And this activity will eventually please! '
You don't have a fixed income.
Or live alone.
Do you?
'What does that have to do with me?
All of us in my household,
Eat less meat and dine out infrequently.
And we are able to save an exorbitant amount of money.
Proving we can reduce 'our' excessiveness.
And this I am sure you have not tried.'
You don't have a fixed income.
Or live alone.
Do you?
'There you go!
Trying to compare anchovies with caviar.
And there is quite a difference.'
You don't have a fixed income.
Or live alone.
Do you?
'No I do not!
But if I did,
I certainly would be able to do it better than you.
With far fewer complaints.'

There are times in life when, instead of complaining, you do something about your complaints.
Some researchers sensibly suggest that rather than worrying too much about which programs our children are watching, we should concentrate on trying to reduce the total amount of time they spend in front of the screen.

Change Of Heart
Chris hayes / huey lewis
I know it happens almost every time
I also know that nothing last forever
So now you wanna go and change your mind
Forget about the time we spent together
Do you think that Ill shoot myself,
When you tell me that its over ?
You say you, had a change of heart
You better think it over, baby.
Cause if you ever change your mind
I could have a change of heart the next time.
You really know just how to put me off
You say one thing and then you do another.
Now it takes more than that to get me off
You must think that youre a perfect lover.
Do you think that Ill fall apart,
When you tell me that you leavin ?
You say you, had a change of heart
You better think it over, baby.
Cause if you ever change your mind
I could have a change of heart the next time.
Wonder what Ill do with all the time
When Im not here, and Im not on the telephone.
No more worry bout if you do and ill
Cause it wont matter anymore if Im all alone.
Baby I got news for you
It isnt gonna kill me.
You say you, had a change of heart
You better think it over, baby.
Cause if you ever change your mind
I could have a change of heart the next time.
You say you, had a change of heart
You better think it over, baby.
Hey, (hey)
Better think it over
Think it over baby

Land Of Dispute
Throughout the years, this fertile ground of all time
produce an abundant rice harvest
but when Cane and Nila had to be planted
with the laws and promises
a bundle of money
measure of welfare change
everything is measured by the amount of money in the bag
in the bank, and the stock trading
Money in the hands of farmers flows like spring water
Their time out to plant sugar cane and Nila
Time to be a little rice,
rice plants were molt
abundant harvest changed complaints
Their well-being such as inhaled
West wind,
disappeared

Start A New Trend
Why belabor with complaints,
If there has been a spilling of juice.
Get on your knees and lick it up.
Reduce yourself to self abuse!
Join the club.
Blaming your actions on someone else,
Is such a passing fad.
Be fashionable.
Start a new trend.
Being accountable...
Just might become the 'thing' that's IN.

What Offers Have You Made...
It is not that I am selfish.
How can you say that?
When all you've done is take!
When was the last time you surprise me,
By giving?
What offers have you made,
To show anything I do for you...
Is something you appreciate?
What time have you sacrificed,
Without complaining you feel drained?
What time have we ever spent together,
When you've made a request...
I did my best to obtain.
And delighted in your excitement about it!
It is not that I am selfish.
How can you say that?
When all you've done is take!
And all I've asked is some time alone with you.
And quickly without hesitation you make excuses!
As if the time you take,
Is too much time for you to give for my sake.

Researchers have found very little difference between men and women in terms of the amount of time spent gossiping.
When is it madness?
When is it madness
An amount of time
What defines normality
And where do I lie
Can the time change
If conditions are met
I don’t wish to be crazy
Must I circumspect
Everything is thoughts
Everywhere is thoughts all day
Where action is desired
Thoughts are always at play
Time is just time
Time can’t change much
Time hasn’t change me
Distance affected us
But what if I were near
Distance is no more
Now we can be again
I always have dreamed forward
We were us for five
Haven’t been for four
I’ve dreamed of you for nine
I’ll dream of you for more
So when is it madness
What is that time
What defines normality
And where do I lie

There's probably one more story about Bosnia that I'd like to do, because I spent a fair amount of time on the Serb side of the lines, which isn't apparent in the other books.
What Production Seeks to Achieve
Those of you who complain about the volume,
One produces that may reduce your sensibilities...
May or may not notice this,
The ones producing volume and sustaining such levels...
Of it.
Apparently have blocked out your complaints,
With the realization that even critics are giving attention.
And that is what production seeks to achieve,
N'est pas?
