Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: The worst job I ever had: 6 of 55
I don't care for mice. Detest them, really. The three S's; scurry, squeak, and smell. Oh, I'm not scared of them. I know how to pick them up by the tail, and how to kill them without leaving a mark. Weird job skill set, courtesy of the worst job I ever had. First day on the first job of my adult life. I had pulled into the s... More..

Here Be Dragons The glass slipped out of my suddenly numb fingers and shattered on the stone floor, but I didn't register it happening.

INDIAN SUNSET The Indian stood proud And watched the first men climb ashore At Jamestown. He watched from the shadow of a mighty tree As they built a fort- The first. Soon there were more...

In Glory, there's a happy place, And there I'll see the Master's face Such singing there shall never be Till we join the chorus in Glory.

Health & Fitness > Allergies Latex condoms and latex allergies: 1 of 6
They always ask you at the doctor's office, "Any known allergies?" I always answered, "No..." Wrong answer. When you think of latex allergies, you automatically remember tales of anaphylactic shock, hives, and horrific skin reactions. I had worked several jobs that required protective latex gloves, and never had a problem, s... More..
