Ah, nature in all it's forms! Such delight, such majesty, such wonder, such a pain in the you-know-what if they come between you and your idea of a perfect garden. Yes, I've had the attack of the Japanese beetles (they don't sing nearly as good as John, Paul, George and Ringo.) They gorge themselves on my Hibiscus leaving sk... More..

Joanne stood to the side of the TV, her hands on her hips with a smile that always made the butterflies start fluttering in his chest. "Well? What do you think?" she asked excitedly.

Janet munched on an apple and silently giggled at the bizarre things she was hearing. Joanie Kipler was whining about her dismal grade in algebra, an A minus. She was one of the smartest and most high-strung girls in the school and she cried a river any time she didn't get A plus-plus on a paper. On the other side sat Franki... More..
Arts & Humanities > British Literature Should Harry Potter consider Professor Snape more of a friend or a foe?: 1 of 16
Let's make one thing perfectly clear, Severus Snape is a most un-likable character. Sarcastic, snide, vindictive and just down right nasty especially to Harry. Harry! One of the sweetest, most polite kids you could come across. How could anyone like the man who hates Harry so much? Ah, but Dumbledore did, or did he? Yes, Dum... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Death of a firefighter: 2 of 31
"Emily! I gotta get Emily!" the distraught mother screamed as two firefighters held her back. "Where is she?" Richard shouted. He could barely make himself heard over the screeching sirens, over the bellows from Captain Frankfort and the roar of the flames eating the building in front of them. "She's upstairs, last room at t... More..

She smiled and he smiled. "So...whaddaya think?" he said as he played with the back of her hand making swirls on it with his fingertips. Was this boy kidding? How old was he? Twenty-five was her guess, at most. She supposed that would be all right. She was thirty two. Actually thirty-three come next month. Men wouldn't blink... More..
Relationships & Family > Male / Female Communication Styles Is chivalry dead?: 5 of 76

Contrary to the most popularly held beliefs chivalry is not condescension nor the act of belittling anyone least of all women. How this thought came to be is anyone's guess. Perhap... More..

In case you didn't know Arbor Days pop up all over the country each and every spring. Each state has its own Arbor Day and with that comes the celebration of trees. The Lorax of Dr. Seuss fame along with many a tree-hugger, environmentalist, nature conservationist, not to mention birds, squirrels and chipmunks, no doubt love... More..
Health & Fitness > Healthy Cooking & Meal Planning The health benefits of herbs and spices: 2 of 28
In ancient times there was no such thing as going down to your local drug store for a cure for whatever ailed you.

Scott awoke with the worst hangover of his life. He moaned and lay perfectly still hoping to just die. Guess they had one too many beers last night. But it wasn't just beer. If it had been he wouldn't be currently wishing a mad axeman to come along and sever his head from the rest of him. They had done shots too with whateve... More..
