(Mental Floss) -- Over the centuries, people have had some very good reasons to dress up like a member of the opposite sex.

After record-setting Olympics athlete Stella Walsh died in 1980, it was revealed that she had indeed been a man.

And I'm not talking about people who live this way out of personal preference, or those who dress up for theater and entertainment.

Here are just five examples.

1. Cross-dressing to join the army

Until recently, women have rarely been allowed to serve as soldiers.

So what was a gal to do if she wanted to serve her country? Naturally, disguise herself as a man and join the troops.

At least 400 Civil War soldiers were women in drag. These included Union Army soldier "Frank Thompson" (also known as Sarah Edmonds), whose small frame and feminine mannerisms (rather than causing suspicion) made her an ideal spy, as she could spy on the Confederates disguised as... a woman!

She wasn't the first woman to don a male disguise and join the army, though. During the Revolutionary War, women fought as men on both sides.

Hannah Snell, for example, joined the British army to find her husband, who had walked out on her to enlist.

Once her true sex was discovered (thanks to a pesky groin injury), she became a national celebrity in Britain, and made a post-war career of performing in bars as the "Female Warrior." Mental Floss: The Confederacy's plan to conquer Latin America

2. Cross-dressing to keep a royal family together

With all the power play that went on in the court, the French royal family would go to great lengths to avoid sibling rivalry. In one of the more extreme cases, Philippe I, Duke of Orleans (1640-1701), was raised as a girl to discourage him from any political or military aspirations.

This would make things easier for his brother, the future King Louis XIV.

Philippe wore dresses and make-up, enjoyed traditionally feminine pursuits, and was even encouraged towards homosexuality.

A girly man he might have been, but he married twice and even had a mistress.

When necessary, he could even lead an army into battle. (This is the nation, after all, that gave us that famous cross-dresser Joan of Arc.)

A brave commander, he would go into battle wearing high heels, plenty of jewelry and a long, perfumed wig.

One of his wives claimed that Philippe's biggest fear when going into battle was not bullets, but the possibility of looking a mess. He avoided gunpowder (with the black smoke stains) and didn't wear a hat, to avoid ruining his hair. Mental Floss: 11 weird & wonderful wedding rings

3. Cross-dressing to win Olympic glory

Dressing in drag has been part of the Olympics (on and off) since ancient times, when women were banned from the bulk of the Games.

The Greek historian Pausanias of Damascus said that if a spectator was uncovered as a woman in male disguise, she was duly escorted off the premises... and thrown off a cliff.

In later Games, the athletes started performing naked, and the crowd was also ordered to disrobe. It has been suggested that this was to ensure that they were all men.

In the modern Olympics, there has been less disrobing -- and not much cross-dressing, either. Gender tests have been normal procedure since 1966 (for athletes, not spectators), so they couldn't really get away with it.

Before that time, one of the strangest -- and most controversial -- cases was Polish sprinter Stanislawa Walasiewicz (aka Stella Walsh), who set 11 world records in her career, winning the 100-meter Olympic finals in 1932 with what one official described as "long man-like strides."

After she died in 1980, however, it was revealed that she had indeed been a man.

So had he deliberately set out to fool everyone all that time? Perhaps not.

Walasiewicz had a condition known as "mosaicism," which gave her male chromosomes. Did they give her an unfair advantage? It is difficult to say.

However, if she tried out for the Olympics today, she would not be allowed to compete as a woman. Mental Floss: 13 medal-worthy Olympic stories

4. Cross-dressing to commit espionage

There have been many instances of cross-dressing spies (including Sarah Edmonds, mentioned above), but one of the most impressive deceptions in history was carried out by Shi Pei-Pu, a singer with the Beijing Opera (in which, traditionally, all roles are played by men).

In 1964 he disguised himself as a woman to seduce Bernard Boursicot, an attache in the French Foreign Service. Their affair lasted 20 years (on and off), during which Boursicot passed several official documents to Shi, believing that "her" safety was at risk if he didn't participate. After they were separated in 1965, Shi came back into Boursicot's life by claiming to be pregnant, and even revealed a baby boy. They later lived as a family. The happy couple was eventually arrested for espionage in 1983, and Shi's secret was revealed, Crying Game style, to the stunned Boursicot.

But how did they have this romance for so long without Bousicot knowing the truth? Officially, they rarely made love, and always did it hurriedly and in darkness -- something that Boursicot always ascribed to Shi's demure Chinese upbringing. One theory, however, is that he always knew the truth, but played dumb to conceal his homosexuality. (He later came out.)

The affair was the basis for the play "M. Butterfly." It was filmed in 1993, starring Jeremy Irons and former Beijing Opera player John Lone (better known for the title role in the film "The Last Emperor").

5. Cross-dressing to get rowdy

Hindu women in India have traditionally lived inhibited lives, tending the home for their families. But on one night each year, in the city of Jodhpur, they come to life at the so-called "Festival of Fun."

Dressed as noblemen, complete with turbans and large fake mustaches, they walk the streets in gangs, brandishing sticks, beating any males who are foolish enough to be out there.

The festival celebrates an ancient domestic dispute between the Hindu god Shiva and his wife Ganwar.

While the women sing devotional songs asking the goddess to return to her husband, they also take this as their only opportunity to do what they long to do all year: behave like men.

Their husbands, respecting the tradition, let them go wild.

It sounds like fun (as long as you're not a clueless male who forgot to stay at home that night), but one thing concerns me: if a woman's disguise is especially good, does she risk being mistaken for a man and beaten up by her friends?

(CNN) -- German logistics giant Deutsche Post said Monday it was cutting 9,500 jobs as part of a major program to restructure its loss-making DHL delivery service in the United States.

DHL's restructuring is expected to result in heavy job losses.

Deutsche Post said it would discontinue its U.S. ground and air delivery operations based out of Wilmington, Ohio, following an outsourcing agreement with UPS.

DHL Express will continue to operate between the United States and other nations, the company said in a statement.

DHL's 9,500 job cuts are on top of 5,400 job cuts announced earlier this year.

The statement said DHL was shutting down all ground hubs and reducing its number of stations to 103 from 412.

The company said it was making the cuts to improve profitability and "to prepare the company for the economic challenges ahead." DHL Express is owned by the German company Deutsche Post World Net.

Officials in Ohio had been hoping to prevent layoffs.

State senator Sherrod Brown sent a letter Sunday to DHL Express Chief Executive Officer John Mullen and urged employment officials in Washington for emergency funds to assist workers and communities affected.

In May, Deutsche Post announced plans to outsource air services with UPS. Brown says the plan would mean shutting down DHL's hub in Wilmington and cutting at least 8,000 jobs. Brown testified at two congressional hearing this year that centered on the proposal.

Prior to the announcement, Wilmington Mayor David Razik said he was preparing for the worst.

"Given the state of the economy and the world wide economic collapse we know it can't be good news," he told CNN Sunday night. "Freight is down significantly, DHL is losing customers, they have laid off sales personnel in other locations. We really think it's certainly not going to be good for Wilmington."

(CNN) -- Pele has denied saying that Manchester City striker Robinho had taken drugs.

Pele's alleged quotes about striker Robinho (above) have caused a sensation in Brazil.

The Brazilian legend was quoted as saying that Robinho and former world footballer of the year Ronaldo used recreational drugs at a private party in Sao Paolo.

The comments have caused a sensation in Brazil, where Ronaldo is still revered and Pele's word is taken as gospel, and led to Robinho's representatives demanding an official retraction.

However, Pele insists he said no such thing. "Robinho is our son and left Santos with our supervision," he told TV Globo.

"What happened was a misunderstanding because I never said anything like that, they gave him wrong information.

"I know what the people who need to sell newspapers are like. When there's a story like this you need to ask for the recording to hear what was really said."

Pele's advisor went into further detail about the exact nature of the misunderstanding. "There's nothing to this, Pele never said that Robinho had problems with drugs," he told Terra.com.

"His answer was distorted. Pele was asked about problems in football, and said that the problems are few compared to other sports.

"He said that in football only Maradona, Ronaldo and Robinho had really had problems, but he never talked about drugs at any moment."

MUMBAI, India (CNN) -- Shweta Gupta knows exactly what kind of groom she wants: he should be educated, well settled and live in a good location --- one that must be in India.

Indian brides and grooms from the Adivasi tribe take part in a mass marriage ceremony.

Love may be recession proof in India, but arranged marriages are not.

One of the casualties of the global economic slowdown is the Non Resident Indian (NRI) groom. They were once considered premium marriage material. After all, these were the men who had typically studied hard, gotten top jobs in the West, earned big bucks and could whisk their wives away to better opportunities in the West.

Not anymore.

"Yeah, I hate to say it but the NRI man seems to be out of favor with the Indian woman," said Gaurav Rakshit of Shaadi.com, a matrimonial search engine used by 14 million people globally.

He has seen demand for NRI grooms drop by around 20 to 30 percent since the recession hit. Why?

Shweta Gupta, a 23-year-old student, has an answer.

"Many Indians working abroad have come back due to recession hitting foreign countries and I don't think recession has affected India that much," said said.

She believes there is greater job security in India, so would prefer her husband to be based here. Her mother, who is involved in finding a suitable man for her daughter, agreed.

"Suppose there is no job security, then again he would have to come to India, then again he would have to find a job for himself, so I would prefer both of them to be here. Plus, I want my daughter to be close to me," said Shraddha Gupta.

Arranged marriages are still the norm in India and parents play an active role in choosing a life partner for their children. Traditionally, parents will let friends know that they are on the lookout for a partner for their child. Sometimes, they go to a marriage broker -- a middleman who keeps a stash of resumes and photos of eligible men and women whose families have registered with them.

As Indians get more tech savvy, more people are taking their search for partners online. Matrimonial Web sites are popular since they offer a much bigger pool of potential life partners.

Shweta Gupta is currently pursuing an MBA in Mumbai and is confident of getting good job offers in India --- another reason she would not want to risk that by going abroad.

"As the woman finds her voice in Indian society, a part of the trend is defined by her unwillingness to compromise on where she grew up, the kind of person she wants to be with, the value system she wants to associate with," Rakshit said.

Women in India are comfortable with the opportunities they have at home and don't feel they need to go abroad to have a better life.

As a result, NRI men are out. So, who is in? Well, government employees, who are typically thought to hold more stable jobs. Shaadi.com said demand was up around 45 percent since last year for men with these jobs.

Also in favor now: working wives --- a departure from the tradition of Indian men choosing only homemakers.

Anish Sapra, 27, has been looking for a bride for around ten months --- and he wants a working woman.

"It will be a help -- more than a help -- to have a working partner," he said. "Not just for financial reasons," he added noting that he believes he would have more in common with such a wife.

A wife with a job could help pay off some of the wedding bills, too. Indian marriages are typically large and flamboyant affairs, though the slowdown means they are somewhat subdued these days.

That is one tradition Shweta Gupta won't give up. She is holding out for a grand wedding with lots of singing and dancing -- she just has to find Mr. Right.

"My marriage should be fun, it should be remembered by all people," she said.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- Police executed a search warrant at a Las Vegas pharmacy Tuesday morning in connection with the investigation into Michael Jackson's death, a federal drug agent said.

A Las Vegas pharmacy was searched Tuesday in connection with Michael Jackson's death.

Applied Pharmacy on Flamingo Road in Las Vegas sold the anesthetic propofol to Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson's doctor, a source familiar with the investigation said.

Another source close to the investigation said last month that Murray, a Texas-based cardiologist, is said to have given Jackson propofol, commonly known by the brand name Diprivan, in the 24 hours before he died.

The search of Applied Pharmacy came two weeks after searches of Murray's home and clinic in Las Vegas.

The search warrant served Tuesday authorized investigators to seize documents -- both on computers and paper -- related to the Jackson investigation, DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge Mike Flanagan said.

The warrants used for those earlier searches, which were filed in a Clark County, Nevada, court, imply that investigators looking into Jackson's death believe that the singer was a drug addict.

The warrants, signed by District Judge Timothy Williams and given to CNN by Las Vegas affiliate KTNV, say that "there is probable cause to believe" that the searches would uncover evidence at Murray's home and office of excessive prescribing, prescribing to an addict, prescribing to or treating an addict and manslaughter.

They cite "probable cause to believe" that the premises contained "records, shipping orders, distribution lists, use records relating to the purchase, transfer ordering, delivery and storage of propofol (Diprivan)."

Murray was with Jackson on June 25 when he was rushed to UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles and when he was pronounced dead, according to Murray's lawyer.

A source involved with the inquiry into Jackson's death has said that investigators found numerous bottles of prescription drugs in his $100,000-a-month rented mansion in Holmby Hills, California.

The items taken from Murray's home included copies of his computer and cell phone hard drives. They were to be turned over to the Los Angeles Police Department, which is leading the investigation into Jackson's death at age 50.

A "thorough and comprehensive" report into the death of Michael Jackson is complete, the Los Angeles County coroner's office said Monday, but police have requested that the report not be released because of the ongoing investigation.

The coroner's office said it would abide by the request that "the cause and manner of death remain confidential" and referred all questions to the Los Angeles Police Department.

CNN's Ted Rowlands contributed to this report.

(OPRAH.com) -- Her name was Margaret. She had an answer for everything, even questions I didn't ask her. She dominated team meetings, nearly jumping out of her chair with "Look at me!"--type comments aimed directly at the boss.

There are some tactics to help you survive team destroyers.

The rest of us sitting there, jaws slack with amazement and disgust -- we were merely a load she had to carry on her back.

His name was Mike, and he hadn't done a full day's work in years, but he sure knew how to draw us into his life of woe. One night at 10 p.m., I found myself finishing his report on deadline. He couldn't be there, he said, because his father was sick.

By that point, I wasn't even sure he had a father. But there I was, alone, frustrated, and exhausted, in a state of loathing for work so intense I wished I could ditch it all. Oprah.com: The truth about saying no at work

And that is exactly where a dysfunctional co-worker --or as I call them, an "un-teammate" -- can put you. It's a crying shame, because working alongside a good team player is one of life's most fulfilling experiences. She makes work enjoyable; she makes it feel like something bigger than a paycheck.

Working with team destroyers, well, destroys all that. They slow work down; they sap its fun, trust, and creativity. And in the process, they invariably undermine the candid and energized debate that characterizes any successful group.

So why aren't they all sent packing? In good organizations, most are --eventually. But many team destroyers are like workplace Houdinis, escaping damage to their own careers while making everyone else look bad. These are the people you must survive. But how?

The answer depends on the type of un-teammate you're dealing with. Generally speaking, there are five: Boss Haters, Stars, Sliders, Pity Parties, and Self-Promoters. Each species has its own way of poisoning the environment and its own antidote.

The first thing you can do is start with the assumption that virtually every team destroyer is an unhappy person. No one tries to damage co-workers, a team, or an entire organization without being a bit emotionally damaged themselves. Oprah.com: 6 signs you're in the wrong job

Boss haters, stars and sliders

Let's start with the boss haters -- you know the type. Harry will tell you his disdain for authority is a reasonable reaction to the tyranny of incompetent bosses. Elizabeth will tell you she refuses to be oppressed by corporate lackeys.

Other Boss Haters have personal issues behind their nitpicking resistance to every directive from above. I once met a manager who told me, "For a long time, I hated all my bosses because my father was a cruel authoritarian --I almost ruined my own career. Thank God I came to my senses."

Such conversion experiences are rare, however. Most Boss Haters persist, using every kind of subterfuge from eye-rolling to outright belligerence, until management loses patience and ousts them. Some Boss Haters are hard to extricate because of union rules or special skills. If that's your situation, your best approach as the peer of a Boss Hater is a freeze-out.

Don't belabor Harry's resistance or try reasoning with Elizabeth. Simply isolate; refuse to listen to their ongoing complaints. Once they're cut off from the group, Boss Haters tend to lose their energy.

Now for Stars. Make no mistake -- organizations could not survive without their results. Fortunately, many key players are Stars largely because they are the best kind of employee, inclusive and inspiring, but some Stars can develop into real bullies.

My team at a consulting firm had to endure Chad, an articulate (and, yes, brilliant) economics major from M.I.T. whom our clients adored. (Like other people in this piece, his name has been changed.) Sensing he was untouchable, Chad would bulldoze his ideas through the team process and ridicule anyone who dared to disagree.

Another group I worked with suffered through Gwen, a marketing "guru" who'd been stolen away from another firm to bestow her genius on us. She passively disrupted our discussions by not participating, her silence sending the message "This nonsense is beneath me."

We didn't have much recourse. Few bosses want to hear nattering about a goose that's laying golden eggs. Your best option in terms of self-preservation is to accept Stars for the good they do and ignore the bad.

I've seen only one other approach work, but it's hard to recommend. This technique involves playing to a Star's weakness -- the need for constant praise. As strange as it may seem, many Stars are deeply insecure and cannot receive enough ego stroking from bosses.

Co-workers can play the same game, thereby drawing a Star back into the team process. But don't try this unless you really feel the love for your own Chad or Gwen; a phony intervention won't work.

Sliders are former Stars, resting on their laurels and undermining their teams with apathy. Their unspoken excuse is "I've proven my worth around here; I don't need to scramble anymore."

Take John Smith, a crusty old newsman who had won the Pulitzer Prize for his reporting in Vietnam. I met him when we were both assigned to the same investigative team 20 years ago. The young reporters, myself included, fairly trembled in John's exalted presence, but within weeks, it became obvious to us that he had no interest in interviewing sources or late-night stakeouts. He preferred to sit around the office drinking coffee and telling war stories to his in-house fan club.

Fast-forward to the end of the project: a front-page article under the byline -- you guessed it -- John Smith and the newspaper team. The editors knew John had done minimal work, but in the newspaper business, one way of keeping score is by the number of Pulitzer Prize winners on staff.

My solution at the time was to moan and groan with my teammates about the injustice of it all. What a waste. Sliders will always live inside a protective bubble that no peer can pierce, because they deliver tangible value to an institution. Don't bother griping; instead, buck up and join the Slider's fan club, respecting him for contributions you can only imagine making.

With that mind-set, you might even be able to turn your Slider into a mentor. To this day, I remember what John Smith taught me about reporting -- when I finally dumped my pointless indignation and asked him. Oprah.com: 10 ways to love your job right now

Pity parties and self-promoters

Pity Parties are those un-teammates who have an excuse for every act of inaction. Their computer melted down. Their elderly aunt came to visit or, like Mike, their father is sick. The most expert Pity Parties concoct long-running sympathy stories: bad backs, bad marriages, bad childcare, and so on.

I don't want to sound harsh. Sometimes people really do need time off or special accommodations, but Pity Parties make an art form of wriggling out of responsibility, and you're left wondering if you're a heel for resenting them -- or a dupe for helping them.

Your best strategy is to steer clear of Pity Parties and their appeals for help. You'll need to steel yourself to say no as often as humanly possible, even if they promise you, "This is the very last time." The line I ended up using with Mike was "I'm in a bind too. Did you ask Rory for help?" (Rory was our boss.)

That response did not put an immediate end to Mike's ways; he went looking for other enablers. Still, it sent the signal -- both to Mike and my co-workers -- that I would not cut side deals. When enough of us started saying no, he left us alone.

The final form of dysfunctional coworker is the Self-Promoter, like "Look at Me" Margaret, who saw every team assignment as an opportunity for personal advancement. In their pursuit of fame and glory, Self-Promoters occasionally sabotage peers.

I once had a co-worker who used staff meetings, with the boss in attendance, to vociferously attack every other writer's work as "hackneyed" or, her favorite word, "superficial." If we pushed back against her critiques, she accused us of being competitive with her. There was no way to win.

Usually, that's the case with Self-Promoters. They can drub you with their narcissistic "logic" -- they're right; you're just defensive -- and wear you down with their egocentric career campaign. But they can't smite everyone forever.

After a few promotions, the moment comes for every Self-Promoter when they need a favor or help, and there is no one left to ask. So keep your head down and wait. And most important, keep overdelivering, even if your local weasel tries to steal all the credit.

Self-Promoters might get more praise than they deserve, but in any good organization, real team players ultimately get what they deserve: respect and admiration.

If you have any doubt about that, you might ask Margaret. I stopped working with her years ago, but I recently heard that the company asked her to move on -- just when she thought she had achieved the position of vice president, the goal she'd been gunning for. Colleagues tell me she interviewed for jobs for a year afterward, but with less than enthusiastic references, she couldn't land one. She ended up going out on her own as a consultant, and I just learned she's a tireless and admired mentor for young women in a leadership program in Boston. I don't know what she tells them, but I can venture a guess: Do everything you can at work to be a great team player, and learn to survive (and thrive) around those who are not.

text: Your

text: best

text: option

text: in

text: is

text: to

text: accept

text: Stars

text: for

text: they

text: and

text: ignore

text: I

text: one

text: approach

text: it

text: 's

text: hard

text: to

text: recommend

text: This

text: technique

text: involves

text: playing

text: to

text: a

text: Star

text: 's

text: weakness

text: the

text: need

text: for

text: constant

text: praise

text: As

text: strange

text: as

text: it

text: may

text: many

text: Stars

text: are

text: deeply

text: insecure

text: and

text: can

text: not

text: receive

text: enough

text: ego

text: stroking

text: from

text: bosses

text: Co

text: workers

text: play

text: the

text: game

text: thereby

text: drawing

text: a

text: Star

text: back

text: into

text: the

text: team

text: process

text: But

text: do

text: n't

text: try

text: this

text: unless

text: you

text: really

text: feel

text: the

text: love

text: for

text: your

text: own

text: Chad

text: or

text: Gwen

text: a

text: phony

text: Sliders

text: resting

text: laurels

text: and

text: undermining

text: their

text: teams

text: with

text: apathy

text: Their

text: excuse

text: is

text: I

text: do

text: n't

text: need

text: to

text: Take

text: John

text: Smith

text: a

text: crusty

text: old

text: newsman

text: who

text: had

text: won

text: the

text: Pulitzer

text: Prize

text: for

text: his

text: reporting

text: in

text: Vietnam

text: I

text: met

text: him

text: when

text: we

text: were

text: both

text: assigned

text: to

text: the

text: same

text: investigative

text: team

text: years

text: ago

text: The

text: young

text: reporters

text: myself

text: included

text: fairly

text: trembled

text: in

text: John

text: 's

text: exalted

text: presence

text: but

text: within

text: weeks

text: it

text: became

text: obvious

text: to

text: us

text: that

text: he

text: had

text: no

text: interest

text: in

text: interviewing

text: sources

text: or

text: late

text: night

text: stakeouts

text: He

text: preferred

text: to

text: sit

text: around

text: the

text: office

text: drinking

text: coffee

text: and

text: telling

text: war

text: stories

text: to

text: his

text: in

text: house

text: fan

text: Fast

text: forward

text: to

text: the

text: end

text: of

text: the

text: project

text: a

text: front

text: page

text: article

text: under

text: the

text: byline

text: you

text: guessed

text: it

text: John

text: Smith

text: and

text: the

text: newspaper

text: team

text: The

text: editors

text: knew

text: John

text: had

text: done

text: minimal

text: work

text: but

text: in

text: the

text: newspaper

text: business

text: one

text: way

text: of

text: keeping

text: score

text: is

text: by

text: the

text: number

text: of

text: Pulitzer

text: Prize

text: winners

text: on

text: staff

text: My

text: solution

text: at

text: the

text: time

text: was

text: to

text: moan

text: and

text: groan

text: with

text: my

text: teammates

text: about

text: the

text: injustice

text: of

text: it

text: all

text: What

text: a

text: waste

text: Sliders

text: will

text: always

text: live

text: inside

text: a

text: protective

text: bubble

text: that

text: no

text: peer

text: can

text: pierce

text: because

text: they

text: deliver

text: tangible

text: value

text: to

text: an

text: institution

text: Do

text: n't

text: bother

text: griping

text: instead

text: buck

text: up

text: and

text: join

text: the

text: Slider

text: 's

text: fan

text: club

text: respecting

text: him

text: for

text: contributions

text: you

text: can

text: only

text: imagine

text: making

text: With

text: that

text: mind

text: set

text: you

text: might

text: even

text: be

text: able

text: to

text: turn

text: your

text: Slider

text: into

text: a

text: mentor

text: To

text: this

text: day

text: I

text: remember

text: what

text: John

text: Smith

text: taught

text: me

text: about

text: reporting

text: when

text: I

text: finally

text: dumped

text: my

text: pointless

text: indignation

text: and

text: asked

text: him

text: Oprah.com

text: ways

text: to

text: love

text: your

text: job

text: right

text: now

text: Pity

text: parties

text: and

text: self

text: promoters

text: Pity

text: Parties

text: are

text: those

text: un

text: teammates

text: who

text: have

text: an

text: excuse

text: for

text: every

text: act

text: of

text: inaction

text: Their

text: computer

text: melted

text: down

text: Their

text: elderly

text: aunt

text: came

text: to

text: visit

text: or

text: like

text: Mike

text: their

text: father

text: is

text: sick

text: The

text: most

text: expert

text: Pity

text: Parties

text: concoct

text: long

text: running

text: sympathy

text: stories

text: bad

text: backs

text: bad

text: marriages

text: bad

text: childcare

text: and

text: so

text: on

text: I

text: do

text: n't

text: want

text: to

text: sound

text: harsh

text: Sometimes

text: people

text: really

text: do

text: need

text: time

text: off

text: or

text: special

text: accommodations

text: but

text: Pity

text: Parties

text: make

text: an

text: art

text: form

text: of

text: wriggling

text: out

text: of

text: responsibility

text: and

text: you

text: 're

text: left

text: wondering

text: if

text: you

text: 're

text: a

text: heel

text: for

text: resenting

text: them

text: or

text: a

text: dupe

text: for

text: helping

text: them

text: Your

text: best

text: strategy

text: is

text: to

text: steer

text: clear

text: of

text: Pity

text: Parties

text: and

text: their

text: appeals

text: for

text: help

text: You

text: 'll

text: need

text: to

text: steel

text: yourself

text: to

text: say

text: no

text: as

text: often

text: as

text: humanly

text: possible

text: even

text: if

text: they

text: promise

text: you

text: This

text: is

text: the

text: very

text: last

text: time

text: The

text: line

text: I

text: ended

text: up

text: using

text: Did

text: you

text: for

text: help

text: Rory

text: was

text: That

text: response

text: not

text: put

text: an

text: immediate

text: end

text: to

text: Mike

text: 's

text: ways

text: he

text: went

text: looking

text: for

text: other

text: enablers

text: Still

text: it

text: sent

text: the

text: signal

text: both

text: to

text: Mike

text: and

text: my

text: co

text: workers

text: that

text: I

text: would

text: not

text: cut

text: side

text: deals

text: When

text: enough

text: of

text: us

text: started

text: saying

text: no

text: In

text: of

text: Self

text: occasionally

text: peers

text: I

text: once

text: used

text: staff

text: meetings

text: with

text: boss

text: in

text: attendance

text: to

text: vociferously

text: attack

text: every

text: other

text: writer

text: work

text: hackneyed

text: or

text: her

text: favorite

text: word

text: superficial

text: If

text: we

text: pushed

text: back

text: against

text: her

text: critiques

text: she

text: accused

text: us

text: of

text: being

text: competitive

text: with

text: her

text: There

text: was

text: no

text: way

text: to

text: win

text: Usually

text: that

text: 's

text: the

text: case

text: with

text: Self

text: Promoters

text: They

text: can

text: drub

text: you

text: with

text: their

text: narcissistic

text: logic

text: they

text: 're

text: you

text: 're

text: just

text: defensive

text: and

text: wear

text: you

text: down

text: with

text: But

text: they

text: ca

text: n't

text: smite

text: everyone

text: forever

text: After

text: a

text: few

text: promotions

text: the

text: moment

text: comes

text: for

text: every

text: Self

text: Promoter

text: when

text: they

text: need

text: a

text: favor

text: or

text: help

text: and

text: there

text: is

text: no

text: one

text: left

text: to

text: ask

text: So

text: keep

text: your

text: head

text: down

text: and

text: wait

text: And

text: most

text: important

text: keep

text: overdelivering

text: even

text: if

text: your

text: local

text: weasel

text: tries

text: to

text: steal

text: all

text: the

text: credit

text: Self

text: Promoters

text: might

text: get

text: more

text: just

text: when

text: she

text: thought

text: she

text: ended
