Happiness
Contagious!

So it's ok to shed people who are dragging you down?

The opposite; it means you have a duty to drag them up with your cheerfulness.

I agree with Waters, not Levin here. Shed them. You can't save them.

Wasn't it Levin who made his coworker cry because she wouldn't come over for FHE on a date?
That was a funny made-up story. But I bet that made-up coworker feels like Levin is dragging her down. |

Mike, was this irony intentional or unintentional?

If you lend someone twenty bucks and never see him again, it was probably worth it.
