Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: What "being in love" means to me: 2 of 58
I always considered myself a tough girl. As a child, I didn't mess with a pink or frilly anything, and could match any boy's curve ball or amount of dirt caked on my skin. I wasn't a fragile little princess, and I never wanted to be. I had a strict upbringing from loving parents who believed that having a boyfriend wasn... More..
Food & Drink > Fast Food The best fast food burger: 1 of 16
I've never in my life turned down an offer to eat a hamburger. Never. Such a thing is border-line sacrilegious in my eyes. I've also never met a hamburger I didn't like. Sure, I've been acquainted with burgers I didn't necessarily love, but I'd never make one feel so bad as to not eat it. From the kitchen of a fancy rest... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Favorite comebacks: 2 of 11
I'm going to go out on a limb here and declare to the reading public that I am the queen of comebacks - Not the princess, not the lady-in-waiting, but the QUEEN. However, I should also take a moment to clarify that while I am the unofficially crowned queen of comebacks, that does not, in any shape or form, mean that I come up... More..
Health & Fitness > Hypertension & High Cholesterol Explaining high blood pressure: 4 of 10
High Blood Pressure- How To DealHaving high blood pressure is far more common than you think. According to a 2009 report from the American Heart Association, 73.6 million Americans over the age of 20 are afflicted with hypertension. In fact, over the five years spanning between 1995 and 2005, there was a 25.2 percent increase... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: My Beagle: 7 of 15
Joey was supposed to be a girl. He was supposed to be named Josephine. He was supposed to be little, and dainty, and wear a bright pink collar with tiny rhinestones. But that is not what Joey is. Joey is husky, obnoxious, and would rather chew on his collar than wear it. Oh yes...and he's a boy.I grew up with two beautiful tr... More..
Relationships & Family > Couple Communication Should a husband tell his wife about his romantic past?: 9 of 19
Well, I certainly wouldn't agree that a spouse should be forced to share every hairy little detail about their past romances, but I definitely think that there needs to be some kind of communication about the past. After-all, every wife is entitled to know if her new husband is someone else's baby daddy and whether she can en... More..
Style & Beauty > Hand & Foot Care Plantar warts treatments: 4 of 8
Feet are ugly enough as it is, so why continue to suffer with dreaded plantar warts? Plantar warts are little, unsightly interruptions in the skin pattern on the bottom of the foot, typically on the heel or the pads. Warts can be identified by their rough, cauliflower like appearance or the little black specks that are comm... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Inside a woman's purse: 15 of 26
There's only two things in life that can induce my drool reflex: spicey buffalo wings and a gorgeous handbag (well, and shirtless pictures of Matthew McConaughey working out on a beach somewhere). While the former food can trigger my belly to rumble and command my mouth to salivate, handbags are the only force on the planet t... More..
Entertainment > Movies (Other) Classic Disney movies that teach terrible lessons: 20 of 26
I've been a die-hard fan of Disney cartoons since I was a very young sprout. I can vividly remember grasping my mother's hand in blissful anticipation as we waited in line to purchase our brand-new VHS copy of Beauty and the Beast. Disney video releases were a miniature holiday for my sister and I. We would spend hours gue... More..
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: What I know: 47 of 54
When the hour glass spills its last grain of sandAnd the last seconds of time slip through my handsWhen this path I'm walking comes to an endAnd I turn around to see where I've beenWhen heaven's gates close behind meAnd I remember all that defined meAnd when St. Peter asks me what I knowHow I spent my life belowI'll reply the...
