| Article Title :: How a Head Cold Got Me Married |
| |
|
Now that I’m really settled down for bad or good, I can’t help
but reflect on my lengthy past as a happy-go-lucky single. How
can I forget the many bizarre, crazy, and benighted times I’ve
misled myself into a man’s twin loving arms, and how very much I
miss loving every minute of it? How?
Why, I squirm as if caught in a velvet trap…well, I could, but
my husband is standing right behind me and might ask me what I’m
sitting on.
Yes, it’s been nothing but high misadventure for me, especially
since I lost my extremely brave and sincere first husband, a
wonderful Austrian-American Jew, to combined MS and cancer on
February 23, 1985.
I loved him so much…even after (read full article) |

| Article Title :: A Solution Polynesian, European and Seasonal |
| |
|
My petite, hyperactive daughter is what I call our Christmas
present from God. That’s because my husband was raised Jewish,
but is Polynesian, which means he was supposed to be Catholic,
but never made it into the church due to some vaguely absurdist
Biblical reasons. It all worked out anyway, and we all celebrate
Christmas together. Thankfully!
December 20 of 1994, out popped our little brown bundle of joy,
Angela Cristina Peralta, the mommie-described “Prettiest Girl in
the World.” She’s modest enough not to think so, or so she says.
Beauty and charm rolled into one Philippina-American package,
except when she tracks in a ton of sand from the beach. We have
to hit those universal (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Snakes |
| |
|
Well, what is there about them you can say that is positive? How
can anybody trust a creature that is born without arms or legs
and smells with its tongue? Obviously, you can see I dislike
snakes! For me, they just don’t seem a part of the natural order
of things without the usual appendages. A friend of mine
suggested that I write down some of my encounters with snakes I
experienced when I was exploring the Amazon basin and the
western slopes of the Andes looking for gold and I guess my
first brush with mortality from serpents came about as Eddie and
I were walking into Puerto Napo from camp one day. The trail
bordered the Napo River on the south side and we were making
pretty good time (read full article) |

| Article Title :: A French Teacher's Memories: First Day At School |
| |
|
Anyone know how it is to go to school for the first time.
Teachers live through this experience twice; and the second time
is not the less impressive.
Despite my diplomas that allowed me to teach in state secondary
schools and my requests, I had been appointed to teach to a
sixth-grade class. At least, I almost worked in my backyard. The
morning classes went smoothly. I knew that my pupils were
experiencing many new situations. In primary school, they were
all day long in the same classroom with the same teacher, who
knew them by their first name. During their first sixth-grade
day, they met a different teacher at each hour, each time in
another classroom that was to be found among hundred (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Cheer-Leadership or "All I need to know about business I learned
from Cheerleading" |
| |

Thanks to teen movies, many people have this stereotypical idea
of cheerleaders as being ditzy and mean. However, there are a
great many life-lessons that can be learned during your time on
the team that have surprising application in the business world.
1. Getting to the top of the pyramid means taking a few
risks. The person at the top of the pyramid is the one who
is willing to take the risks, usually in the form of a backflip
or a layout. It helps to be light, nimble, and flexible. Since
you are the person with the farthest to fall, you have to be
able to rely on the stability of the team suporting you.
Fortunately, in business no one actually tosses you ten feet
into the air (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Health Club Regulars - Some of the People You're Likely To Meet
at the Gym |
| |
|
One of the great benefits of belonging to a health club is the
huge variety of exercise equipment that’s available. It’s also a
great place to meet and observe a wide cross section of society.
Here are just a few of the more notable health club regulars:
1. Screaming Banshee –- We’ve all been focused on our workout
when out of nowhere comes a blood-curdling sound from the corner
of the weight room. You look over and there’s a guy doing
laterals with 20 lb dumbbells. It doesn’t matter what the
exercise or weight is –- he’s screaming with every rep. If it
helps his workouts, then more power to him! It certainly makes a
good case for a Walkman.
2. The Strainer –- The Strain (read full article) |

The day wasn’t going well already. You know how it is, you wake
up in the morning with that migraine or the pounding headache in
the back of your head. The kids are up at the crack of dawn
(literally) and they keep coming into the bedroom to “help you”
wake up. You fumble your way down stairs to a screaming chorus
of, “Daddy, she won’t quit looking at me!” And then you have the
old reliable “Hey! That’s my stuff!” And what are those comments
without Back-up Plan ‘B’: “Hey! That’s my spot!” was bellowed
out as the kids fought over the fluffy pillow in my office while
watching Little House on the Prairie.

| Article Title :: Tranni D'Electric and why men are such pleasant pigs! |
| |
|
My daddy always said that men are great with a shovel. My mammy
always said that women are great at emotional issues. I say that
men are pleasant pigs and women are pleasant pig observers.
Since I left high school, my opinions have been gradually
changing. I used to think that boys were smelly but now I’m
sure. I used to think that men are smellier versions of boys,
but now I’m convinced. I used to think that dirty men were
exceptional and now I know that they are exceptional;
exceptionally smelly.
I used to read that pigs were actually clean, but now know that
it was a myth, but also that it was a true statement, relative
to men. Pigs grunt less, and tend not to piss on the toilet

| Article Title :: Country Pastimes 2: Bale surfing |
| |
|
Since the demise of foxhunting and 'hunting with dogs' in the
countryside, there are thousands of dispossessed toffs wandering
around with nothing to do. To compensate we offer here the new
shape of extreme and dangerous landsports.
2. Bale surfing The new shape of hay bales has created the
little known country sport of 'bale surfing'. Please note that
this is a dangerous countryside activity that should not be
undertaken without the proper training. Square bales have all
but disappeared from the countryside, giving way to much larger
cylindrical bales that are stacked using machinery, rather than
tossed into the hay loft with a pitchfork. The loss of machismo
