Download or read book Grow the Up You Fill in the Blank written by Margo Norman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-12-29 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-Perpetuated Drama Syndrome is the unnecessary, self-inflicted, daily stress that seems to happen in your life. SPDS affects a lot of women, no matter their age, race, religion, financial status, or geographical backgrounds. The need to have drama seems to be a gender-specific issue, yet SPDS has negative effects on both genders. Women (more than men) tend to inflict their SPDS on others without realizing that they have a problem in the first place. There are older, wiser, more mature women in the world who have found the trick to living a DRAMA-FREE life. Ms. Norman views herself as one of these women, and has written this guide to help you first identify if you have SPDS, and secondly, show you how to conquer it. Ms. Norman, a self-proclaimed people-ologist, has been able to draw from her own experiences with SPDS and give valuable advice on how to cure it, by teaching you the symptoms, giving clear examples of situations in her own life with SPDS that may be familiar to you, and then showing you how to alleviate the drama. Do you have at least one argument daily? See Chapter 1-Grow The-----Up! Do you still live at home with your parents, but cant stop arguing with them? Chapter 5- Youre Grown So Buy Your Own! teaches you how to appreciate your situation and bring peace to a potentially drama-filled experience. Ms. Norman interviewed hundreds of people who identified with having SPDS. She came up with ten common issues concerning daily, self-inflicted stress that seem to be the cause of the drama women suffer. Her humorously candid portrayal of her own SPDS will cause you to think about why SPDS is considered the norm in todays society, like lying about your age (chapter 1) and in-appropriate behavior associated with your fashion choices (chapter 2-What The -----Are You Wearing). Ms. Norman also speaks about two topics that are considered taboo- Chapter 9-Youre A Women So You Cant be The Daddy deals with lesbians and the effects of gender identity issues on children and Chapter 10-What He Really Thinks addresses the effects of SPDS on men. SPDS is a very real ailment and there are easy, drama-free solutions to cure it. Ms. Norman hopes to shed light on this subject and give a much needed view on the silent killer of peaceful living! Her advice is for women to Grow The ----- UP!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic columns from the legendary New York journalist—“a master of the tough-talking, thoroughly researched, contentious, street-wise vignette” (San Francisco Chronicle). Although his career spans decades, the seven years that Jimmy Breslin spent at the New YorkDaily News sparked some of his finest work. When New York City tumbled into economic and social chaos at the end of the 1970s, Breslin was there. In his brief, insightful columns, he looked at the city not from the top down but from the bottom up. Eschewing the view of politicians, socialites, and captains of industry, Breslin’s heroes are men like Jim Moran, the cop who drove John Lennon to the emergency room after he was shot, or Barney Baker, an ex-boxer who served as bodyguard to mobster Meyer Lansky. These are average people who see big things, and Breslin is their herald. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Jimmy Breslin including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

Download or read book A Wish written by Lubomír Mikisek and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Main characters in the collection of short stories written by the Czech author Lubomr Mikisek are quite ordinary people like us. With turbulent sensitivity and often with scars on their souls, they wish to step out of their stereotypes and find someone who would understand and love them. Desire usually remains hidden but can erupt from time to time. Then, a wish emerges too. Main characters often make decisions whether to realize these desires and wishes, maybe by making only an undaring move forward or waiting for a coincidence that could bring them happiness, and then even a miniscule episode suddenly turns into a deep internal drama. Sometimes, disappointment arrives; at other times, a journey of new hope opens. Those who lend a helping hand before asked, are not absent from the stories either. The deeply psychological fiction is written in a readable and gripping style, providing exact descriptions and a poetic touch, and surprises with an unexpected punchline or an open end. As if the author was telling the reader - it can happen to you too. Under the cover of the seemingly everyday reality, it is possible to extent a hand out, let a rose blossom although it sometimes has thorns. The authors fiction is thought-provoking, makes us sympathize with others and often soothes unexpectedly too. It is definitely nothing minor in the contemporary, presumably heartless and fast-moving world.

Download or read book Collected Nonfiction written by Jimmy Breslin and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 1064 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorful, riveting reportage from a one-of-a-kind Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and New York Times–bestselling author. In his career as a legendary New York City newspaper columnist, Jimmy Breslin “leveled the powerful and elevated the powerless for more than fifty years with brick-hard words and a jagged-glass wit” (The New York Times). How the Good Guys Finally Won: Following the burglary of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Hotel, as evidence increasingly mounted against President Richard Nixon, Thomas “Tip” O’Neill, the Majority Leader in the House of Representatives, led the charge calling for impeachment. In this New York Times bestseller, Breslin’s blow-by-blow, conviction-by-conviction account is a gripping reminder of how O’Neill and his colleagues brought justice to those who abused their power, and revived America after the greatest political scandal in its history. “Breslin’s reporting is superb and so is his prose, his insights keen and often startling, his wit unceasing.” —Chicago Tribune The World According to Breslin: In an illustrious career that spanned decades, the seven years that Breslin spent at the New YorkDaily News sparked some of his finest work. When New York City tumbled into economic and social chaos at the end of the 1970s, Breslin was there. In this collection of classic columns, he looks at the city not from the top down but from the bottom up, heralding the heroism of average New Yorkers. “Superb . . . a master of the tough-talking, thoroughly researched, contentious, street-wise vignette.” —San Francisco Chronicle The World of Jimmy Breslin: In the 1960s, as the once-proud New York Herald Tribune spiraled into bankruptcy, the brightest light in its pages was an ebullient young columnist named Jimmy Breslin. While ordinary columnists wrote about politics, culture, or the economy, Breslin’s chief topics were the city and himself. He was chummy with cops, arsonists, and thieves, and told their stories with grace, wit, and lightning-quick prose. Whether covering the five boroughs, Vietnam, or the death of John F. Kennedy, Breslin managed to find great characters wherever he went. “Breslin’s touch is absolutely sure.” —The Washington Post Book World

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mothers Who Deliver: Feminist Interventions in Public and Interpersonal Discourse brings together essays that focus on mothering as an intelligent practice, deliberately reinvented and rearticulated by mothers themselves. The contributors to this watershed volume focus on subjects ranging from mothers in children's picture books and mothers writing blogs to global maternal activism and mothers raising gay sons. Distinguishing itself from much writing about motherhood today, Mothers Who Deliver focuses on forward-looking arguments and new forms of knowledge about the practice of mothering instead of remaining solely within the realm of critique. Together, the essays create a compelling argument about the possibilities of empowered mothering.
