Autos > Buying New Cars Factors to consider when buying a new car: 1 of 11
If you're considering buying a new car, taking into account the positive aspects of the purchase should be the number one priority of the intent behind your list of reasons to buy. The logic can be illustrated by a single, but subtle, rule. Buying a new car isn't simply an investment of time and money, it's also a commitment... More..
Relationships & Family > Couple Communication Should a wife tell her husband about her romantic past?: 3 of 30
In many relationships today, it seems to be irrelevant to dwell on the past in a serious manner. As a matter of fact, this can be a detriment to those relationships, and can lead to a grievous breakdown in communication within a marriage. And with this breakdown, the freedom of self-expression may suffer dire consequences, wh... More..
Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Are people born gay?: 17 of 102
In today's society, the pressure of sexuality itself seems to take precedence over all other aspects of the lives of many. And it seems to be, oddly, quite new; as if this had never existed before. An interesting school of thought, yet so sadly mistaken. Yet, why is it so readily accepted that, what many may now refer to as a... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: What you want to tell mother, but cannot: 11 of 65
"Hello, mother, I hope it's a nice Christmas for you this year. How have things been for you the past few months that I've been away? How do you feel this year? I know, I know. Another birthday. Sixty-two this year, right? Yes, it's always easy to remember your birthday. Of course it is, how could it not be? It's the day befo... More..
Computers & Technology > Computers & Technology (Other) Why computers are frustrating: 8 of 33
Computers. Oh yes, they seem to lie in wait for that prime opportunity to push our mortal tolerability to the point of no return. It seems, also, as if they can somehow predict just the perfect time to, shall we say, malfunction. Of course, they have no true intellect. At least, not as we define the term. They are not truly a... More..
Education > School Bullying & Violence Children who bully: The art of destruction: 3 of 12
Fewer events in a child's life are as traumatizing as enduring the taunts and/or physical confrontations of bullies. The effects of this trauma usually carry similar psychological manifestations regardless of age, race or intellectual abilities. Reduced efforts at school, lack of participation in activities which are normally... More..
Arts & Humanities > Buying & Selling Art Becoming a freelance artist: 2 of 7
Many people who fantasize about one day becoming a freelance artist have one thing in common: They know they are very good at what they do, or, that they may become very good. One thing in particular always fascinated me. It was the way that people define art as they grow in life experience. A certain facet about this was the... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Life & love: 3 of 10
I love my life, my life of love; The strength and peace that I dream of. Every road that narrows, among fallen leaves and sparrows; Guides my life, my life of love. Rocks and hills and rivers wide; Have watched me laugh beyond the tears I've cried. Each night I've lain and gone to sleep, And have invited them there to keep; ... More..
Food & Drink > Soup & Stew Recipes Best soups that keep you warm in winter: 13 of 42
Winter is approaching once again. Cold winds, snow, rain and ice are all on the way for many places. What's worse is the fact that quite a few of us will be exposing ourselves to these harsh elements on a regular basis. Too regular not to be prepared to protect our bodies, not only for work, but for our overall health in gene... More..
Arts & Humanities > Meaning of Life Is life worth living?: 41 of 111
The validity of the question seems elementary. It seems especially so when asked to a child. The profound insight is very often overlooked, and overburdened, while many adults are held in frustrated awe at the world around them now. But, instinctively, the child knows, even the disabled child, that life is worth living. Of co... More..
