1. 15 Things I Couldn't Live Without Dogs – Nothing can compare to the trust and unconditional love of a dog. Having my lab snuggle up to me on the sofa is pure bliss. Spring – A time for rejuvenation, hope, and the start of good things to come. My Garden –... (posted by Nancy 81 days 1 hour ago.)

2. Breyers Ice Cream - An American Classic from 1866 to 2006 If you grow up in the Philadelphia area, there are some foods that are inbred in you: soft pretzels, hoagies, the famous Philly cheesesteak, cream dried beef, sticky buns, scrapple, Tastycakes, and, of course, Breyers ice cream. I was raised in... (posted by Nancy 81 days 18 hours ago.)

3. When the Truth Does Not Set You Free I love the Geico commercial in which Mary Todd Lincoln asks Abe if her dress makes her backside look big. After several long moments in which he silently debates his response, he says, “perhaps a…” and then makes a gesture with... (posted by Nancy 107 days 1 hour ago.)

4. Relax and Enjoy It! What does relaxation mean to me? Not working, not cooking, not writing – not even gardening – not doing anything that I would do in my normal day-to-day existence. I love to work, I love to cook, I love to write, and, I especially love... (posted by Nancy 119 days 23 hours ago.)

5. In a Year from Now... The only thing I can predict with any certainty is that in a year from now, I will be that much wiser. Note that I did not say smarter, just wiser. I am sure my life will be exactly as it is now. Aside from a few more wrinkles and a bit more... (posted by Nancy 144 days 1 hour ago.)

6. When I Was Young, We Were Encouraged to Play When I was a child, one of the phrases I loved hearing from my mother’s lips were the words, “Go outside and play." Four simple words. My brothers and I did not need to be told twice. We liked going outside and playing. There were... (posted by Nancy 190 days 23 hours ago.)

7. Why High School Reunions Get Better with Age This past September, I attended my __ th high school reunion and it rocked. No, not the music. Was there music? I don’t even remember. What made it rock was the comradery, the fellowship, and the joy of seeing people that I grew up with, a... (posted by Nancy 199 days 14 hours ago.)

8. What I Love About SearchWarp This is an easy write. I have written over 600 articles on voice and presentation skills in the last 5 years which I submit to multiple websites but not to SearchWarp – at least not for the last 4 years. And, it has gotten to the point in my... (posted by Nancy 231 days 15 hours ago.)

9. Two Houses - Exact Same Mailing Address But Different Towns 35 years ago, my township built a development by the name of Broadmore consisting of 700 homes. Unfortunately, none of the post offices within in the township wanted to service Broadmore. So, I gather they picked straws and the winner was a... (posted by Nancy 286 days 17 hours ago.)

10. If I Had 3 Wishes Oddly enough, all of my wishes deal with child-rearing. I think many of the problems we are encountering today as a society can be explained by how we are raising our children or, better yet, how we are not raising our children. I am also...

11. My Dad -- Not House But Home When I think of my dad, I consider myself incredibly lucky to have been blessed with a father who always thought of others before himself. Considering that one of his great strengths in medicine was his ability to diagnose, it is difficult not to... (posted by Nancy 345 days 1 hour ago.)

12. Technology Takes 2 Steps Back in Order to Satisfy the 'Green' Last fall I bought a new dishwasher because my old one finally gave up the ghost. My husband had worked on it for months and was able to keep it running; but, come Thanksgiving, it was questionable if it would last through the holidays. So I...

13. Life is a Bowl of Raspberries -- And a Piece of Bittersweet When my mother died 6 years ago, I was heading into the hospital about 6 in the morning to sit with her and to take care of her as well. Blind and with limited physical ability, my mom was the least complaining person I have ever known; but, I... (posted by Nancy 2 years 124 days ago.)

14. A Personal Study into Global Warming No, this is not a scientific study but a study done from my memories. Memories of living in South Jersey for more than 50 years, albeit a 16-year excursion to London, Ontario and much briefer hiatuses in Washington, DC as well as New York City. ...

15. Why My Husband's Heart Attack Was a Blessing in Disguise On November 30th, the Monday after the long Thanksgiving weekend, my husband called from work around 11 in the morning and told me he was coming home because he had pain in the center of his chest which was radiating up to his right shoulder. I... (posted by Nancy 2 years 144 days ago.)

16. The Best Diet in the World -- And, It Won't Cost You a Cent! My mother was strict, firm, and, at times, hard; but, there was one lesson that she instilled in me which is one of the best pieces of advice I have ever been given. From the earliest age I can remember, my mother taught me to get up from the... (posted by Nancy 2 years 181 days ago.)

17. When Political Correctness Places Our Military in Harm's Way, It Is Time for a Change When is our country going to come to its senses (as in common sense) and realize that more harm has come from political correctness than any of the supposed' good that should have resulted when this policy took effect in the early 90's? If you are... (posted by Nancy 2 years 198 days ago.)

18. I Think I Can...I Think I Can...I Think I Can't Well, it happened again. On August 1st, I received an email about another 100 Articles in 100 Days Contest. Having accomplished that particular feat just 3-1/2 weeks prior, I immediately jumped at the proposition, believing that a 2nd time around... (posted by Nancy 2 years 202 days ago.)

19. Graduation at Fort Benning -- A Sight to Behold Well it happened. After 14 long weeks, my son graduated from Infantry basic training at Fort Benning, Georgia, this past Friday.

21. When Government Gets Out of the Way, We All Win Today I had a most novel, most enjoyable, and, without a doubt, most unique experience. I walked into the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Agency at 1:10 pm and walked out at 1:20 pm with a new driver's license. No, I am not making this up! And, no I am...

22. Life at Fort Benning -- The Study of a Boy Becoming a Man When I learned that my son would be stationed in Georgia for basic training in Special Forces during the months of July and August, I was more than concerned. During any other months, I would not have been as worried. An avid soccer player, Andrei... (posted by Nancy 2 years 287 days ago.)

23. Ingenuity at Work I am married to a wonderful man who can solve mechanical, electrical and gadget problems easily.

24. What You Don't Know about Healthcare Reform Could Kill You Last week I heard Minnesota Congresswoman, Michelle Bachman, discussing some of the particulars of Washington 's impending healthcare reform and I was stunned.

25. A God-Given Voice This past week I heard from a customer who had purchased my DVDs in the beginning of the year. When I first spoke to Vicky in January, I heard a voice that sounded like a child, not just in the quality but even in the enunciation of her words. I... (posted by Nancy 2 years 314 days ago.)
