About me - Glenore Weal

Relationships & Family > Dating Psychology How to tell if a guy is into you
1 of 6

This is going to be easy, trust me. Experience has taught me that if you want to know if a guy is really into you, you'll know very soon after you meet him. Here's a newsflash, men aren't that complicated. I once asked my brother the age-old question, "What do men want?" Without missing a beat, he responded, "Food, foo... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values What one learns from a childhood of poverty
1 of 4

Young children are often blissfully unaware that they are living a life restricted by limited funds, and by the time they understand it, often they have developed some new traits: adaptability, resilience, and how to share.

Health & Fitness > Exercise & Weight Loss Why you don't have to spend a fortune to lose weight
2 of 5

To lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you take in. That's it, that's all. 3500 calories equals one pound so basic math tells us that if you cut your calories by 500 per day, you will lose one pound per week. No magic pill, bun-burner apparatus, or celebrity product endorsement can change that fact. We've al... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Visiting Ground Zero in New York City after 9/11
5 of 9

I got stuck in an elevator when I worked at 2 World Trade Center about 20 years ago. I worked on the 69th floor at that time and I remember that when the elevator started moving again and I got to my desk, I was so panicked that I could barely work for the rest of the day. At that time, it was fairly easy to get a job so I fo... More..

In the interest of full disclosure, I should reveal that none of my cats, past or present, ever slept on a cat bed.
