You thought it was pretty darn good, maybe the best you ever did, so why the low rating? First thing to remember is low rated articles happen to all of us so don't despair. As wi... More..

He entered the apartment and immediately knew something was not quite right. The silence was deafening. Frowning slightly he placed his keys on the small, half-moon table under the elaborately framed mirror. Only thing was the mirror no longer hung there. And where was the crystal bowl in which he had dropped his keys for so... More..
Arts & Humanities > British Literature Should JK Rowling allow the characters in the Harry Potter series to become more romantically involved?: 1 of 22
In a book series so rich in detail, so full of complex emotions, integral plots, intense relationships and wonderful characterizations one would think there would have been enough romance in the Harry Potter saga and yet there seemed to be something lacking. There were instances when it appeared there were too many character... More..

"We're friends, Jack." she said haltingly as she worked Armor-all on the recently scrubbed-to-a- squeaky-clean wheels. Jack paused in rubbing wax on his vintage 68 Camaro, cocked his head to the side and gave her his typical crooked grin. "Something on your mind, Vicky?" he asked eying her curiously. She hooked her short blo... More..
Home & Garden > Gardening (Other) Encouraging your children to garden: 1 of 20
There is something rather magical about plants. They start off as dormant, insignificant seeds, lifeless and unassuming, but with little more than a bit of water, some fertile soil and a few rays of sunshine the seed will break open and sprout into life. Roots emerge, leaves unfurl, flowers bursts forth, perhaps even a fruit... More..

It was well past two in the morning when they headed home. "Let's drop off Lupe first. She needs her rest. She's not been feeling well lately," Billy said with obvious concern in his voice. "I'm not dying, Billy," she retorted irritably. "Besides, I'm staying at Rachel's tonight. You actually think my parents know we went ou... More..

They walked in through an arbor with mounds of snowy white flower clouds of Sweet-Autumn Clematis. They were showered in petals as the breeze suddenly picked up. "It's snowing! I love this kind of snow. No need to shovel it," Caroline exclaimed happily her smiling face upturned to the white petals falling around them. How he... More..

"So, tell me about your wife," Kelly said abruptly. "What do you want to know?" Ray replied evasively. He wasn't certain he liked this at all. It had been okay when she spoke of her dead husband but talking about Roni's demise somehow felt too raw even after more than two years. "Well, for one thing, what was her name?" "Rho... More..
Arts & Humanities > British Literature The universal appeal of Harry Potter: 2 of 37
I don't know if it's just me but I find the world to be such a depressing place at times. Murder-death-kill, war, desperation, despair, poverty, strife, mayhem and injustice prevail. I try to shut it out just to keep my sanity. And what better way to keep my sanity than to fall head-long into a tale of wonder, humor and love... More..
Arts & Humanities > British Authors Is J.K. Rowling turning the Harry Potter series into dark literature rather than youth literature?: 2 of 36
