If you've ever had the flu, you know that the fatigue, lack of sleep and the over-all ache of every muscle in your body will disappear after three or four days.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Cancer: 14 of 95
It's been a year now since you've been gone it's been so hard for me to carry on Every time I pick up the phone I suddenly realize that you won't be home Our Saturday night calls that would last for six hours I now spend in silence and stare at your flowers Things are just not the same as I ponder on that I think - what a sha...

Relationships & Family > Grief & Loss What to do when someone dies and there was no time for good-byes: 19 of 127
I drove like a maniac to get to the hospital and upon arriving, my daughter Lisa said, "Mamma, she's gone." My Mother had died and I hadn't been able to hold her or tell her, "I love you Mamma."

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) and the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety), state that the leading cause for death among teens aged 16-19 is car crashes and that the first year of driving carries the highest risk of accidents.

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Dog behavior: 10 of 62
Kaibutsu (ki-boot-soo), is a 125 lb. Japanese Akita, and if you wanted to, you could ride him like a horse.

He is a well-trained work and watch dog, but sometimes he has these moments when you look at him and wonder j... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Elected Officials Lack The Courage To Act On Behalf Of The American People: 1 of 6
We elect officials based on the concept that during the debate process, they have stated that they will keep our best interests in mind.

There was a great poet who wrote of supreme sadness a deep longing for love that was never found A heart that gave up beating through the tears of her soul She wrote of all her shattered memories empty dreams and spoke of desolation and loss Why did no one see through her poems to her agony Did anyone ever care She believed n...

Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Should smoking be allowed in public places?: 55 of 313
It is amazing how like so many other things today, a handful of people are able to 'force' restrictions on the common man who supposedly lives in a free country. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, what a joke. Tobacco is the second highest taxed product in the United States. Taxes were doubled on tobacco products in ... More..

Approximately two million people per week will suffer the agonies of heartburn.
