In Simple Observations, Patrick offers a collection of humorous narratives about everyday life. This compilation of short stories features everything from babies to ghosts to diets to excursions to the beach to wedding receptions to zombies. Patrick tells about trips to the bank, shopping at Walmart, Chinese takeout, a visit to the doctor, camping trips, those pesky mosquitoes and how, in his own, self-deprecating and clumsy way, he survives adventure after hilarious adventure.

Book excerpt: What if there were a way to cut through all the financial mumbo-jumbo? Wouldn't it be great if someone could really explain to us-in plain and simple English-the basics we must know about investing in order to insure our financial freedom? At last, here's good news. Jargon-free and written for all investors-experienced, beginner, and everyone in between-The Investment Answer distills the process into just five decisions-five straightforward choices that can lead to safe and sound ways to manage your money. When Wall Street veteran Gordon Murray told his good friend and financial advisor, Dan Goldie, that he had only six months to live, Dan responded, "Do you want to write that book you've always wanted to do?" The result is this eminently valuable primer which can be read and understood in one sitting, and has advice that benefits you, not Wall Street and the rest of the traditional financial services industry. The Investment Answer asks readers to make five basic but key decisions to stack the investment odds in their favor. The advice is simple, easy-to-follow, and effective, and can lead to a more profitable portfolio for every investor. Specifically: Should I invest on my own or seek help from an investment professional? How should I allocate my investments among stocks, bonds, and cash? Which specific asset classes within these broad categories should I include in my portfolio? Should I take an actively managed approach to investing, or follow a passive alternative? When should I sell assets and when should I buy more? In a world of fast-talking traders who believe that they can game the system and a market characterized by instability, this extraordinary and timely book offers guidance every investor should have.

Download or read book Road to Ithaka written by Diane Campbell Thompson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2015-02-19 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in England during World War II, author Diane Campbell Thompson, a war child, tells of bomb shelters, air raid sirens, meager food, and clothing rations. In Road to Ithaka, she narrates an honest account of her life beginning with her birth in 1941. Raised on the rugged north east coast, the beach and sand dunes become a happy playground. But as Thompson happily built sandcastles in the sand, her father built castles in the air. Home became shifting sand, and a series of moves eventually saw the teenager leave the family to live on more stable ground with her grandmother. Through selected journals and short stories, she shares the stories as she traveled across Spain on the famous Santiago de Compestella, trekked the meanest thirty-three miles in history, drove a dog team in the Yukon, spent afternoons with a grandchild, and watched forlornly as a parent descended into that abyss known as Alzheimers. Sometimes introspective, sometimes humorous, always amusing, the stories and journals in this memoir reflect a free spirit in a world of endless possibilities.

Download or read book A HERO S JOURNEY written by Mose M. Kinsey and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2024-07-25 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What’s a Hero? Heroes come in all shapes, sizes, agaes, and Male or Female. They are everyday people in our communities and society. The label Herp is given to someone for many reasons. The first thing comes to mind are acts of bravery on the battlefield; a Police Officer in the line of duty; a Firefighter pulling someone from a burning or building. The word Hero is a very complex term and it has evolved over time. A Hero can be someone whom inspires others to do a common good for themselves and others in their community. One that sets high standards for himself or herself. Someone who’s deeds and accomplishments are worthy of praise by others. One that overcame tremendous odds against them and inspired others to do the same. They are people whom are not afraid to stand up for what they believe is right. Someone whom helps when the benefit and praise is knowingly going to someone else. Soldiers whom chose to defend our country while knowing and understanding that they may not survive their journey of service to their Country. By Mose M. Kinsey

Download or read book From Dawn to Dusk to Daylight written by Bruce Ross and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-04-13 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruce Ross knew something was wrong. He felt displaced and isolated from friends, family, and society. He had no one to turn to, and so he tried to cope with it himself. The fact that he had a disease called depression never entered his mind. He, like so many people, thought that only other people suffered from depression, not someone who appeared to be a well-adjusted, middle class person. From Dawn to Dusk to Daylight chronicles Rosss journey and struggles with depression, from his high school years until middle age. During this time, his promising start in life transformed into a dusk, in which Ross lived twenty-four hours of each day in a gloomy and unsettled existence. With eloquence and charm, he recaptures the joys of his childhood in Dartmouth, growing up with his buddies. Gradually, those times faded, and he found himself in the middle of his teenage years and the beginnings of his depression. Ross lived with the pain of depression and its twin sister, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), for more than thirty-five years before achieving a breakthrough thanks to the experimental procedure known as Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). This exciting advancement in medical science shows great promise for depression sufferers in North America and around the world. From Dawn to Dusk to Daylight is the candid and revealing story of the trials and tribulations of living with depression and the relief DBS finally brought.
