Book excerpt: In the entertaining collection Laughing At Life: Tall Tales & Other Short Stories, author Mike Benn shares many of his amusing life experiences as he delves into "tough" questions, such as: Have you ever caught a duck-while fishing? When your children say jump, do you just ask how high? What happens when the doctor becomes the patient? How significant is that red flashing light on your car's instrument panel? Join Benn in his search for "the perfect stool", and experience his frustration after purchasing the latest state-of-the-art home cinema equipment to the envy of all his friends-and after six months, still not being able to get it to work. Laughing at Life takes you on a trip-sometimes more like a stumble-down memory lane, from Benn's childhood in Perth, Australia, to his present-day life in Israel. Encompassing subjects ranging from living in a household of females to the adventures of traveling, and from coping with modern technology to personal health issues, Laughing at Life draws you into the Benn's world, allowing you to view the humorous side of life's challenges that daily affect each and every one of us.
Download or read book The Appetite Awareness Workbook written by Linda Craighead and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2006-02-01 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People with normal eating patterns eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full. But people struggling with binge eating relate very differently to this most basic need, often risking depression, gastrointestinal problems, and even death because of their problems with food. The Appetite Awareness Workbook offers an eight-week, cognitively based program to help you learn to pay attention to hunger cues, keep track of your feelings about food, and develop an eating schedule that discourages binge eating. In a series of easy exercises, the book guides you toward taking control of eating habits. First, gradual changes help you eat only when hungry or when a mealtime is scheduled. Then, awareness exercises help you stop eating when moderately full. Finally, by using cognitive techniques to control the tendency to eat for emotional reasons and journaling exercises to stay motivated and on track, you'll learn how to retrain yourself to maintain normal and healthy eating habits for life.

Download or read book Tornado Valley Huntsville s Havoc written by Shelly Miller and published by Shelly Miller. This book was released on 2013-01-10 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Touchdown! Folks in Alabama don't know whether to cheer or run when hearing the expression. Touchdown could mean that we've just won another football National Championship or it could indicate that a tornado is on the ground. I could never be a storm chaser. I'm the one the storm chases. Funnels circle around me like shark fins as I bow my head in a school hallway, kneel down in a convent, or give birth to a newborn baby wailing in unison with the tornado sirens. I huddle with toddlers in showers and beg for shelter in a McDonald's freezer. I remain a sitting duck in a second-floor apartment, and find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time while in the emergency room with storm victims. Life in the Rocket City is a thrill ride which is not for the faint of heart, this I know. So brace yourself for a front row seat on a ride through Tornado Valley! Alabama is the home of the world's deadliest twisters, and Huntsville is in the heart of the arena. Our space history is out of this world, but our tornado history will blow you away. Take a rollercoaster ride through the history of Alabama tornadoes before plunging into the gripping story of the Day of Devastation. Witness the stars falling on Alabama in 1833. Then get ready for the sky to fall! The plot twists as Huntsville's torrid tornado past comes alive in the 1974 Super Tornado Outbreak. The rollercoaster corkscrews as it encounters an unexpected twister in 1989 that slingshots the reader into the angry vortex on Airport Road. The ride cruises before taking another gut-wrenching dive that catapults its riders into an inverted twist from yet another Anderson Hills tornado in 1995. The town turns upside-down but Huntsville survives, revives, and thrives. But the worst is yet to come. Another tornado season is just around the corner. Beware of the month of April, especially on a Wednesday. The warning sirens wail, we're bombarded by softball-sized hail, and an EF3 tornado slams into the jail. It's just another day in Alabama, but the countdown clock is ticking. The next tornado warning could be "the one." Our voice drops to a whisper when we mention an EF5. We realize life is too short. The coaster accelerates. Can you feel the torque? We have no idea what's around the next bend. Suddenly, the nightmare comes true as the ride zooms out of control, this time in a free-fall on April 27, 2011. Alabama is bombarded by a record 62 tornadoes in one day. Abruptly, the ride comes to a screeching halt. The adrenaline rush subsides. You've just experienced Huntsville's Havoc. Immediately the passengers ask one another, "Do you want to ride again?" Some will and some swear, never again.

I write short stories, slogans, saying, philosophy, songs, and comedy, restore paintings and comic books, and I can invent almost anything technical. I jog and it seems like I don't age; do to mixing a Dr Jackal and Mr. Hide type concoction when I was 20 years old. My parents are Joseph and Dorothy Bonkowski. I wrote "The secrets of mind reading revealed" (Howell Press), and Casablanca 2 (Unpublished), the Theory of Relativity 2, which expands on Einstein's Theory of Relativity (Only 200 copies printed.) My future plans are to keep on writing, and start a career in comedy. I still have thousands of unpublished quotes and saying, and if this book sells well I will write a second book lord willing.

Book excerpt: THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION! "Original, sparkling bright, and layered with feeling."--Sally Thorne, author of The Hating Game A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters. Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. They're polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block. Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She'll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he'll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.
Download or read book A Right to Life written by Tom O’Keefe and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-11-28 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While sitting in the hallway outside of his first grade classroom, young Bobby Dorsey overhears his teacher reporting his misbehavior to his mother, Margaret, through a vent in the classroom door. He is shocked when he hears his mother tearfully confess that he is the unexpected result of a high school affair, that she never intended to have a child, and that he would have been aborted if not for the intervention of his grandmother, a devout Southern Baptist, and her pastor. The unexpected and unwanted birth of Bobby causes Margaret to feel she was robbed of the fun of her high school years. Driven to complete her lost adolescence, she exposes Bobby to a string of boyfriends, with whom she often has a sexual relationship. Bobby becomes aware of those relationships at far too early an age for him to understand what is going on. Some of Margarets boyfriends are cruel and abusive to Bobby. This coupled with his mothers indifference, eventually leads him to feel an outsider in his own home in the small East Texas town of Purvis. His mothers preoccupation with her own life and lack of concern for him causes Bobby to become increasingly curious about his absent father, who he learns is managing a motel in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The more Bobby learns about his father, the more his fantasies about him grow. He wonders if he might find the love and acceptance with him that he had not found living with his mother. Therefore at ten years of age, Bobby concludes that Purvis is not a good place for him to be, and that he needs to go live with his father in Chattanooga. So begins a modern Huckleberry Finn tale filled with adventure and intrigue as Bobby embarks on an almost nine hundred mile journey from Texas to Tennessee. He encounters fascinating people, and has several narrow escapes from busybodies who want to take over his problem and solve it for him. Enough people had judged and condemned him. Enough had screwed up his life in Purvis. He wants nothing further to do with the likes of them. His life is now in his own hands until he reaches his father whom he is convinced will be the answer to all his problems. Does Bobby reach his father without experiencing more abuse? Would his father be able to provide him the love and support he never found in Purvis? Does Bobby take the damage from his childhood abuse along with him? This novel deals both dramatically and spiritually with the following current hot topics: The abortion issue, childhood physical, emotional and sexual abuse and prejudice including homophobia. It illustrates how one generations abused become the next generations abusers. It drives home the point that a persons RIGHT TO LIFE is far more than a mere right to birth, showing that love, compassion, understanding and forgiveness are also basic human rights that deserve the same impassioned advocacy seen among current anti-abortionists.
