Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts What love is all about: 3 of 65

Love is profound and complex, yet, beautiful in its innocence and simplicity. Love exists for a good reason - life, in and of itself, is beautiful! Flowers, trees, babies, horses, boys and girls, puppies, men and women, deer, et cetera - all are beautiful! We know that at each point within the matrix of time and space exists...
Jobs & Careers > Job Search (Other) Job search: Communicating the value of non-paid work: 3 of 36

Whether or not a resume is rich with professional experience, employers love to see purposeful community service activities stated within a resume. Such activities "speak" well of the applicant, as one who is an active participant within the community, reliable, caring, interested in others and in community service, and inte...
Law & Justice > Lawyers & Legal Advice What not to do when pulled over for driving while intoxicated: 3 of 28

The law has dramatically changed during the past few decades, politically, legally, militarily, and officially, albeit not always literally (=) constitutionally, according to the Unabridged Dictionary of 1776 which was used Benjamin Franklin [Library of Congress], who signed, both, the Declaration of Independence and the Con...
Hobbies & Games > Kids Games & Toys Barbie dolls: Barbie as a role model for young girls: 2 of 18

I was one of the luckiest little girls on Earth, although I did not know it, at the time. I was nine years old when the Barbie doll was introduced to a wary public. Just prior to Barbie was Vogue's Ginny doll. Ginny was a cute and perky teenager, only 8" tall...stockier and not as "mature" as Barbie. Even so, Ginny had a del...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Victims of drunk driving: 12 of 94

It haunts me even today, years later. Kathy had volunteered to drive a thoroughly drunk acquaintance home late one evening, so that he would be alright. She had just dropped him off and was a few blocks from home, stopped at a light, when a luxury sports car slammed into her car nearly head-on. Although the sturdy sports car...
Law & Justice > Lawyers & Legal Advice How to find and choose a good DUI lawyer: 2 of 14

Finding a prospective DUI attorney, generally involves simple contact with the American Bar Association. Yet, determining which are most effective for a given case involves more thorough research. Because so many police officers take advantage of their power and, all too often, do not follow the letter of the law, statistica...
Creative Writing > Memoirs My most humorous gardening (mis)adventure: 11 of 74

It was our first year planting a vegetable garden in our backyard, in Western New York, along the Niagara River. I was four and loved helping to sift through the rich, black soil with my fingers. Mother and I planted tomatoes, green peppers, green beans, cucumbers, beets, carrots, radishes, lettuce, et alii. My mother was sw...
Parenting & Pregnancy > Pregnancy Advice for traveling while 3-4 months pregnant: 1 of 6

Historically speaking, women's bodies are resilient. We have all heard stories of women who, while working within the fields, went into labor, delivered on site, handed their baby to a wet nurse, and carried on working in the field. I trust that we are, now, civilized enough that no one on Earth need be so rustic, for the be...
Celebrations & Holidays > New Year's New Year's resolution: On quitting smoking: 3 of 17

Quitting smoking, at any time, is a Herculean task. Resolving to quit smoking during the wee hours of the largest international party of the year is somewhat unnerving, at best, and horribly unrealistic and, therefore, depressingly and unhealthily unsuccessful, at worst. Speaking as one formerly heavy smoker (who is descende...
Politics, News & Issues > News Industry Does the media cause crime?: 2 of 11

In order to determine the power and reach of television, as this global economy begins to take hold within the further reaches of the world, one need not look too far for proof. It is an issue which is close to my heart. When I was four years old, in 1950, I watched an NBC series of documentaries about Hitler's rise to power...
