Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Rental home vacation disasters: 3 of 10
It started with the smell; not quite rotten meat, but something that smelled mysteriously like rotten meat. Hearing the old "body under the bed" urban legend story a few too many times, I was a little worried. Having stuffed the travel agent's number in the bottom of my suitcase, just to ensure it wasn't lost or forgotten, w... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Great experiences using online vacation home rental sites: 5 of 15
Finding your way to a good online rental of a vacation home is like swimming against salmon. I know because I had my best experience ever with an online travel agency, just after having my worst experience. The good websites are the ones that offer the renter many options and off-line support; the bad ones are the ones that ... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: I live with the world's worst home renovator: 4 of 10
The worst renovator in the world has to be my dad. It isn't just that he doesn't have any experience, or that he thinks he doesn't need professional help, but there's something else too. For as long as I can remember, he's had a bad habit of starting new projects every time my mother left for a weekend. When I was five he de... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Experiences renting a car with Hertz Rent-A-Car: 2 of 5
In the past I've rented from a few places including Dollar and Budget. Dollar has a bad reputation in the world of rental car companies, but I really liked it. Not only did I get a fantastic car that was better than the one I reserved, but they actually charged me less than they originally quoted me. This year when I needed ... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Dating a married man: 6 of 13
I admit it, I did it. Of all those disastrous relationships I have embarked on over the years, the worst was Brian. On the surface Brian was everything I ever wanted in a man. He was smart and funny, charming and sweet. He knew what I wanted, and was eager to find ways to please me. He had a good job and loved politics, and ... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: My holiday vacation in the mountains: 15 of 32
When I told my family I was planning to spend my week long vacation in the Colorado Rockies last winter, they looked at me like I was crazy. It wasn't merely the fact that I was trading snow and ice for more snow and ice, but the fact that I was about to do it on my own. I had recently ended a long term relationship, and eag... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Dating a man with kids: 6 of 10
I decided as a 21 year old dater, that I was never going to date a man with children. I thought that I wouldn't want anyone who had those complications; the ex-wife/girlfriend, the doctors appointments, the soccer games...Then I turned 24 and met Chris. Chris was 27, and had 2 kids with his ex-wife; a 5 year old daughter and... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Why I'm still single: 38 of 52
I have a hunch back. All right, so I don't have a hunch back, but I thought it might get your attention. The truth though, is just a little...boring. I am a 27 year old graduate student, with a job. I'm cute (or so my mom says), loyal (or so my friends say), funny at times, a little too sarcastic, and single. Single. That on... More..
