Before you decide to ignore the faux pas and press forward with the pitch, or write her off and move on to greener pastures, try this simple technique: say, “I’m sorry.” That’s likely instinctive behavior for many of us, but at times it may [...] CommentsAgree, Wes.

And in a recent Daily Beast post, “Oprah Buries the Hatchet,” Allison Samuels wonders whether Oprah’s push to make peace is for good will or good ratings. But we wonder: Does it matter? The answer is ultimately more pertinent to Oprah’s “enemies” than her audience, but anyone who’s accepted an apology before has likely wondered about the authenticity of the sorries involved. “With her show set to end May 25, she has attempted to mend fences with such famous former friends as Whoopi Goldberg, Roseanne Barr, and Rosie O’Donnell. Of course, these tearful makeup sessions are all being conducted on Oprah’s stage, in front of ...

We went to pick it up, and once we got home, we realized that we’d been given someone else’s order as well as our own. Rather than call and admit our error, we had a Thai feast, with enough leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day. You could say we went Thai crazy. So, I’m sorry, Pagoda Thai Food. And I’m sorry to the customer who probably had to wait for ten minutes while their food was remade. Even though you probably got some free spring rolls to make up for the error. (Consider that my gift to you.) Phew. It feels good to have that out in the open. Most of us have an apology lurking deep within us, but for whatever reason, we can’t say it.

Joe Barton apologized to BP for what he called the White House’s “shakedown” of the company, Republicans and Democrats alike couldn’t believe it. But you know what? Maybe there are some things for which we need to apologize to BP. ApologizeToBP.com is up and running for everyone to air the grievances that they’ve committed against BP. You can also use Twitter to show your remorse for the awful things you’ve done to BP with the hashtag #ImSorryBP.

I have run very little, if at all; I have succumbed to the evil tobacco weed, and I have gotten behind with this monstrosity.In my defence, I have been feeling increasingly unwell, a fact I am blaming on my anti-retroviral meds, which seem to produce a constant background of feeling shit; a sort of physiological equivalent of drizzle; I had lined some posts up for delayed publication, but that seems to have failed.But it's time to get back up again.Back up, stub out the butt, jog on and then write about it.Good ...

Here’s a few suggestions that may help you do just that. 1. Do It, Don’t Say It. You know that old common wisdom, “Actions speak louder than words”? Well, it’s true. While you can apologize for not doing something until you’re blue in the face, you’ll gain so much more appreciation by another in your life by simply doing it in the first place. Yes, it means you have to work harder to keep on top of things to begin with, even with simple things like taking out the trash or running that errand you said you would. But the reward is that your loved one will know you care because you just did it without being asked or reminded to do so. 2. Refuse to Argue and Pick Your Battles. Ar...

We seem to focus on the anger, the sadness, the acceptance; what we haven’t focused upon is denial. If this concept offends any of us that are “further along” with MS than others, I wholeheartedly offer an apology in advance. I think, however, that even people who are harder hit by their multiple sclerosis can understand the concept on some level. Have you ever thought (or even said aloud), “Do I really have multiple sclerosis?” It’s easy to see why we might query in such a way. MS is a disease that can (and does in a plurality of cases) go into long periods of dormancy or remission. Have you ever found yourself stable for months or even years and wondered if the docs got it right? ...

His response is #17 and it is sincere and genuine -- certifiable in my book. Again, let me reiterate that the nature of my call to the ADA was to ask for their assistance in getting a big pharmaceutical company to sponsor C-peptide FDA trials here in the US. Thanks again to Matt. He really is doing all he can, but there seems to be a suspicious roadblock holding up the research here in the US. Any guesses? Without further adieu, here's Matt: I hope people will take time to read my reply to yesterday's post about ADA and c-peptide. I work for A...
