Law & Justice > Lawyers & Legal Advice Recommended procedures for being pulled over while intoxicated: 1 of 23

I actually can't believe I'm writing about this, because I feel so strongly against it. And, after my say about it, it will become apparent why I'm writing in this forum. The wreckage, carnage, and sorrow of so many people who are touched by one life lost or forever altered, just does not make driving DUI worth it. Calling a...

Here are some ideas that will help you feel safer, whether in an apartment, a house, or wherever else you chose to live. First on the list, change those locks. Who k...
Arts & Humanities > Photography Photographing your children and recording their lives: 1 of 5

It's amazing how we don't know at the time we take a picture or a video the great time we are setting ourselves up for until years and years later when we view them again. Inevitably, we wish we had taken more of them as our lives progressed. So, instead, we take what we have, allow our hearts to warm, and our voices to rais...
Relationships & Family > Marriage Psychology Can there be love without passion?: 1 of 5

Can there be love without passion? By definition, there is no way. Passion is a deep feeling such as love, hate, rage, mania, sexual desires, and emotions. Because love is such a deep emotional feeling, by definition, love is a form of passion, and therefore, it is impossible for there to be love without passion. ...
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: A comical view of telemarketing: 3 of 13

Today, I swear, no matter where you go, if there is a phone around, you are the target of a telemarketer. I used to be a telemarketer, and I remember literally crying after being sworn at and hung up on, so I just can't make myself do either of those things, or walk away from the sales people at the mall. I try to avoid eye ...
Relationships & Family > Relationships & Family (Other) Making sure your family knows what you want done when you die: 2 of 7

I wasn't planning on dying today. Great. Whose idea was THIS? I sure hope they can figure out what to do with me based on my personality. Oh, man, I hope they don't do that whole doom and gloom thing. Surely they wouldn't. They know I'd rather have everybody have one last laugh about me, Lord knows they have enough material,...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Traffic accidents: 2 of 6

I don't think I'll ever forget the odd feeling of being completely humored over being rear ended. I wasn't laughing over the next few days when the pain set in, but the event itself...sometimes you just can't help but sit back with wonder, and kind of laugh. I was driving home, heading up a two lane highway. I kept pulling o...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Affirmative action for equality or for lowered standards?: 2 of 6

Affirmative Action was a vital and necessary part of our history. Without affirmative action, desegregation would have never worked. Discrimination of every other ethnicity and sex besides the white man would have continued in the workplace, even if we were successful in getting our schools desegregated. How any group of peo...
Entertainment > Television (Other) Should we be able to block TV commercials?: 1 of 3

I think the advertising industry has gone crazy. I know, I know, saying that underwear commercials are actually soft core porn is not going to earn me any brownie points with the general public. Most would probably say, "You've got to be kidding"! But let's ask our more conservative folks, is this something you care to see o...
Sciences > Sociology What is a criminal?: 6 of 16

Should we be legally responsible for every word that comes out of our mouths? "I'm going to beat that kid!", "Something bad is going to happen to that woman, wait and see", "One of these days, somebody's going to make him sorry", "She's making me crazy!". These are all common phrases that you hear in our society, most of whi...
