HOW TO SURVIVE A BREAK UP
So you've been dumped. Here are some tips from Catherine Specter on How To Survive a Breakup:
- Don't Let Yourself Go. Don't get drunk, or pig out on ice cream and pizza. The last thing you need on top of heartache is to feel overly full and ugly. This is the time to eat healthy, take vitamins, and generally be good to yourself.
- Exercise. It's the last thing you want to do when you feel nauseated and teary and alone. But it will pay off big-time.
- Distract Yourself. Make yourself pay bills, read the newspaper, clean the house, do laundry, run errands, see movies, go out to dinner, hang out with friends, whatever distracts you from the pain for a few minutes or hours here and there. If you have trouble falling asleep, read a book in bed rather than watching TV (reading is less passive yet more relaxing, and will have a noticeable effect on your ability to drift off). Take down pictures of your ex. Put their stuff in a box, or moved to one area away from plain view until they come to get it, or until you get rid of it.
- If You Must Rebound, Do It Lightly. The 'rebound relationship' is OK, to a point. Absolutely go out and date, it can be a nice little distraction. But don't put too much effort into it or take it too seriously - not only because you might make bad choices during your heartbreak, but also because someone might fall for you when you're not ready to receive them.
- Get A Little Angry And Don't Feel Guilty About It. When you get dumped by someone you love (or even really like), it's natural to remember them as perfect. This is a great time to recall how rude they were to waiters or how snippy they got after a long, hard day. Were they cheap? Were they a tad too conceited? Were they annoyingly snobby about their taste in food, movies or music? It's alright- it only means you've remembered them for who they were, rather than a fantasy.

This joke was sent to me from Alex in De Pere
Rrriiiiinnnnggg, rrriiiinnnngg
'Hello?'
Hi honey. This is Daddy. Is Mommy near the phone?'
'No, Daddy. She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.'
After a brief pause,
Daddy says, 'But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Paul.'
'Oh yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy, Right now.'
Brief Pause.
'Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do. Put the phone down
on the table, run upstairs And knock on the bedroom door and shout to
Mommy,That Daddy's car just pulled into the driveway
'Okay, Daddy, Just a minute.'
A few minutes later The little girl comes back to the phone.
'I did it, Daddy.'
'And what happened, honey?' He asked.
'Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed With no clothes on
and ran around screaming.
Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser And now
she isn't moving at all!'
'Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Paul?'
'He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too.
He was all scared and he jumped out of the back window And into the
swimming pool. But I guess he didn't know that you took out the
water last week to clean it.
He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead.'
Long Pause, Longer Pause, Even Longer Pause
Then Daddy says, 'Swimming pool? ............
Is this 486-5731?'
No, I think you have the wrong number
