Sleepless in Studio City on "Time Management" feat. Amber Weekes

DrDebzz Opening Shpiel: How do you spend your precious time?  Are you a human “being" or a human “doing?” Are you surrounded with people who drain your energy, suck you dry, are “takers" rather than “givers?” Are you comfortable setting limits or are you more concerned with being liked and pleasing others? Wake up and smell the hummus powers that be! It’s urgent we create class curriculum that teaches the importance of internal needs rather than merely focusing on external qualities. How about a vaccine (love potion #9) against the rampant disease of verbal & emotional abuse, as a prerequisite to those assuming any position of authority, e.g. parents, teachers, administrators, and especially politicians! 

Guest Caller Mary from North Hollywood: I’m wondering when it's a good time to introduce children to a relationship. My boyfriend of two years keeps his life with his 13 year old son separate and I feel left out. Whenever I bring up the issue, he says he doesn’t want to talk about it and changes the subject.

Write in question from Sandy in Baltimore: Does a woman expect me to pay for dinner on a first date? A second date? What’s the protocol?

Weekly WOW (Words of Wisdom): “Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.” (Abraham Lincoln) I wish you happiness and the courage to choose to: be agreeable, look as well as you can, keep your voice low, be courteous, criticize not one bit, not find fault with anything, nor try to improve or regulate anybody but yourself.
