Author notes

It only took me forty years to figure this out. True story: I first tried out the second mantra on my beloved. I repeated the words exactly, and in the same tone, frequently. Now she is a truely intelligent woman, both on the learning side and the common sense side, but it wook her six months to notice. Women have a predisposition to believe you when you say these mantras and to some degree they start to be what you mean. Just don't overuse them or they will lose their usefullness.
