Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Fire and my experiences: 1 of 44
I've had two experiences with fire, both equally terrifying. If you are fortunate enough to not be injured and survive you learn from these experiences.

Personal Finance > Auto Insurance Why I am glad I have car insurance: 1 of 42
You can be the best driver and most reliable person in the world but you just never know when some other not so responsible person will come crashing into your life. I've never had any tickets, well one parking ticket and every accident I've been involved in was the other persons fault (really). I carry full coverage car insu... More..
Autos > Driving & Safety Driver safety: Bad habits: 1 of 34
For over nine years now, I've been commuting to work approximately twenty miles one way on the highway. I've seen a lot of really ignorant drivers and I've never had a speeding ticket nor have I ever caused an accident in my twenty-six years of driving, but I have been hit at a stop light. I say "ignorant" because the definit... More..
Health & Fitness > Medical Issues (Other) Can doctors be fully trusted?: 1 of 33

Personal Finance > Health Insurance The need for universal health insurance: 1 of 13
Nobody should have to worry about taking their sick child, parent or loved one to the hospital, but we do. I'm one of the "lucky" ones who has health insurance on myself provided by my job. My child is not covered and if he breaks a leg or gets a fever that could possibly be meningitis then I run the risk of paying that premi... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Styles (Other) Being a happy parent is part of good parenting: 1 of 12
There are plenty of people who will criticize your parenting skills, but we are all our own worst critics. Lord knows I've had my share of glares from other women at the grocery store as my child screamed in the cart while I pushed them up and down the aisles. I don't know any parent who hasn't felt guilt or worried if they w... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Lessons you can learn from life: 1 of 10
It seems just as you think you have nothing else to learn another life lesson will smack you in the face. I was struck by one of these lessons the other day. I don't know why it happened to me and haven't quite figured it out yet. All I can say is I was shocked. At first I thought my lesson was about trust and friendship. As... More..
