Here is your Friday STORY on: HAPPINESS: If you are not happy all of the time, then at least be assured that this is how most people exist. It is how most of us seem to perceive our humdrum existence. Yet however, we can improve this ratio of understanding with practice. With a steady progress we can also become skilful at being happy for longer and more often. Let me explain with a story how easy it is to approach life in the wrong manner. If you can raise a smile at this story, you'll be aware that this type of anger exists within your own soul. REVENGE ...Once upon a time, there was a wise man who insisted that to live well, one had to be positive and thankful for all of life. One day, a traveller came to him and said, 'How can I be positive? Nothing goes right in life! I've been badly hurt by people I have trusted, and now I want revenge!' The wise man shook his head. 'What would you do to those that hurt you?' he asked. 'I'd tear them limb from limb... I'd ruin their business... I'd...' and he broke off. 'Can you help me get revenge?' he begged. 'Yes'' said the wise man. 'I'll certainly help you, but first you must do two things for me.' 'I will, ' said the traveller. 'First, ' said the wise man, 'I want you to tear a branch off that tree over there.' The traveller readily went to the tree and twisted off a large branch. 'There you are! What's the second thing?' The wise man smiled. 'Now put it back, ' he said. The traveller stood staring. 'I can't do that, ' he said. 'No, ' said the wise man. 'So remember this; it's very easy to wound and destroy, but it is more difficult to repair the damage that has been done. Note that the tree won't hurt you back. It will go on growing and bearing fruit. It's much better to be creative than destructive - - even to people that have hurt you.'... For every moment you want revenge, and then realise it is both pitiful and destructive, there is a moment of sweetness soon after; as you settle for a positive attitude instead of a negative. Rather than wallow in your own sadness, rejoice in the skill you have developed to overcome your revenge. (Unknown Author) QUOTE: 'Just as a trainer disciplines and calms a wild and wilful steed by subjecting it to skilful and prolonged training, so must the wild, wandering, random activities of body and speech be tamed to make them docile, righteous and skilful.' (His Holiness the Dalai Lama).

Is it worth upgrading HTC Desire to gingerbread?
I have a HTC Desire and I started to wonder about this but I heard that due to storage limitations some apps and features were taken out from the 2.3 rom for the desire. What are those features and apps exactly? Is it really worth it to upgrade? I heard that my phone will be like more efficient and will lag less with 2.3... Is that true? How to update it and what is"RUU"? Also the MOST IMPORTANT THING on my phone for me is Poweramp because im a huge audiophile so will that run on 2.3 as well? Thank you :)

Shady collection agency attempting to collect passed SOL?
My husband was sued by Cach LLC for zombie debt, but never knew he was being sued. We never received any letters or phone calls from them attempting to collect on the debt in the first place. We were never served a summons to appear in court ? kind of hard to show up to a court date you know nothing about. Because we didn?t show up, Cach LLC was awarded a judgment against us for the amount of the original debt plus the cost of attorney?s fees and interest. Had we been contacted at all, I would have immediately sent a debt validation letter as the debt in question was passed the statute of limitations here in Texas (which is 4 years). Cach LLC would have had to prove that they legally had the right to attempt to collect this debt ? which couldn?t have been proven as the SOL had expired. I then would have sent a cease and desist letter to bar them from further contact. However, they made no effort to contact us. Why? Because they knew the only way they had ANY hope of collecting on this debt was to successfully obtain a judgment. If you Google their name, the internet is chalk full of complaints against them and their affiliates due to their unlawful methods of attempting to collect. They didn't want us to know about the court date because if we showed up and told the judge it was passed the SOL the case would have been thrown out. It was DEPENDENT on us NOT showing up. So my question is: what can we do now? I am going to lawyer up and request that the default judgment be set aside, but what will the process be like afterward? And if a judge rules against them can they continue their pursuit? Edit: We most definitely were NOT served at any time.
