receiving end. Our communication takes place on three levels. Content,
Sarcasm is when our words say one thing and our voice tone
and body Sarcasm can be quite amusing when it is part of a comicís
attitude But sarcasm loses its amusement value when you direct it at
the individual So the idea here is not to eliminate sarcasm, but to be conscious

WHAT'S GOOD STORIES It's so easy to see all the bad things around us, that sometimes we forget about all the great things that go on. And we need to hear about good things because that gives us hope and inspires us to go out and do more good things. In this section, I want to hear from you. What's happened in your life that's good? What things have people done that inspire you to be kind to others? What funny things have happened? Email your short stories to me at david@psychocomic.com,
and if I publish yours, you get a free copy of my tape "I'm
OK But YOU Need Professional Help!" 4. AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP The Vancouver Crisis Center needs volunteers. If you want to help people while learning crisis intervention and listening skills call them at (604) 872-1811 or go to www.crisiscentre.bc.ca. They're a fabulous organization with great people and lots of support for the volunteers. Of course I'm biased since I worked there for about 14 years and am co-facilitating their January training group. If anyone has a good cause they'd like to promote please email
me at david@psychocomic.com
