Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Childhood

2 of 72

Alone, with nothing but my thoughts I often probe the depths of my mind in search ofmy first memory. Im not sure of how memories work, but whenever I ask myself for my first, this always comes up. Its hard for me to put a timeframe with it, other then to say I was less then 5 years old. I was sleeping, soundly, and I must hav... More..

Home & Garden > Real Estate (Other) What are the qualities of a good neighbor

2 of 18

A good neighbor is a rare gem in this world, especially with all of the cookie cutter subdivisions that seem to sprout up like wildflowers after a summer storm. A neighbor, good or bad, can well determine if your happy in your home or not. When looking at the qualities that make a good neighbor, one needs only look at the qua... More..

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Sledding

5 of 17

Sledding, the very word brings about images of laughing, bundled cherubs flying down a hill at breakneck speed, bouncing and careening helter skelter without any control what so ever. It is perhaps, in my opinion one of the single greatest things a child can experience, and as an adult it only gets better. When I was a kid gr... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Child Behavior & Discipline (Other) If children behave badly, who's to blame: Parents or child?

36 of 103

Is anyone to blame for an unruly child? I would like to say that at the front line it is the parent's mistakes that lead to unruly and undisciplined children, but at the core of it all, it is society's mistakes. When I was a young boy growing up in the 70's I was mainly disciplined by my Grandfather, as I didn't have a father... More..

So what do you do when you suddenly find you've lost interest in your job? This is a question I have been asking myself a lot lately, and I just don't seem to have an answer. Many people would say, just change jobs, if only it were that simple. I used to truly enjoy my job, and I am very good at it, it just doesn't fulfill me... More..

Law & Legal Information > Lawyers & Legal Advice Should lawyers be required to provide pro bono services?

20 of 28

I wouldn't necessarily say that Lawyers should be forced to provide legal advice or representation, however, it doesn't always have to be about money. Those individuals who are willing to put forth the effort and substantial time needed to obtain their their Law degree have earned their title, and are entitled to their just r... More..

Pets & Animals > Dogs (Other) Is docking a dog's tail cruel?

3 of 4

It isnt cruel, end of discussion. There are certain breeds that have tails docked, and then there are those that do not. Generally speaking, the dogs that have their tails docked are of European descent, and the tails are docked for a reason. Today, it is more of a tradition then anything else, and really serves no useful pur... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: My father

114 of 143

What makes a father? Is it purely the biological connection, or is it the more then that, is it just simply raising a child and being the male role model? These are questions I have asked myself numerous times over the course of my life, sometimes in moments of fear, and sometimes in moments of awe. I have yet to find an answ... More..
