You might start seeing these beautiful gems all over town. "No Mask, No Entry." If you haven't seen them yet, then you may soon. Counties in Florida are starting to recommend as a guideline for visitors and residents to start wearing those masks as they traverse the sunshine state.

The Falling Literacy Rate
The definition of literacy means the ability to read and write. There are a majority of American adults that are illiterate, which means that they can't read nor write. Several minority groups also have higher rates of illiteracy. Children who are diagnosed with a learning handicap, such as forms of autism, ADD, ADHD, or dyslexia may also require more help with literacy because of the problem with reading and writing.

Why Queen Elizabeth I should be respected
I got my hands on this book that was written in 1952 by a man named J.E. Neal. It says he was given special recognition for his autobiography of the Tudor Queen, Elizabeth. The infamous queen, the last known Tudor monarch, ruled for nearly 45 years. While some queens have ruled longer in English history, none of them changed the course of the nation much like that of Elizabeth.

Tish Chapter 1
Tampa was the city that sat on the bay. The waters were cool to the touch in March. The weather was chilling most mornings and pleasant in the afternoon. Many of my favorite haunts in Miami did not exist in the waterfront city. It became quite hard to find a wonderful Cuban sandwich and coffee. But freshly made sangria was much more available.

Sex Tips: Your Partner's Needs
Gossiping among all forms of women, everyone hears the same complaint. "My husband doesn't do what I like," or "My wife insists we do something to spice up the bedroom," and the beat goes on. Men and women complain that they don't do enough to liven up the bedroom.

Who is the Green Man?
With the rise in watching television shows and horror movies using pagan influence for pop culture ratings, this iconic Wicca and Pagan deity is now part of someone's shrine alongside Ganesha, Buddha, and Krishna. You can also the same about the Egyptian Gods such as Anubis, Isis, and Osiris. But these former Gods of the past before Christianity and Islam became predominant cultures in regions with former pagan roots in agrarian societies (by agrarian, it is those who celebrate harvests and the seasons by appointing idols and deities for those changes in their environments).

Don't Play Hard To Get
There are those who think being a hard to get person is attractive. But the problem is, that only works as a first time solution or just hard core foreplay. Playing hard to get while trying to attract a sexual partner or a life long marriage partner is not all it is cracked up to be.

Why I Don't Celebrate Valentine's Day
My husband and I have recently been married for only four months. Since we dated, we didn't really see a reason to celebrate Valentine's Day. I had several Valentine's with my Dad being my Valentine. I had two previous beaus who often got the same old stick, rose bouquets and chocolates. But since our last Valentine's Day being a college graveyard date, I think we had had enough for one lifetime.

Top Five Roaring Twenties Books
Next year will be the one hundred mark since the 1920 New Year. We are officially heading into a modern world. At the time of the 1920's, there was prohibition, no one could sell alcohol but can have small quantities in their house. The flappers were the modern woman, short dresses and rolled stockings to their knees. Cigarettes and short hair were just a few of the more iconic embraces into the new turn of the century era.

How to Be Accurate With Cash Flow
Working in a retail store can be stressful, especially if you are having money issues. Recently since my coming back from a honeymoon in Iceland, where the ice and cold froze away my cares of sunshine and oranges in Florida, I came back to a store where three employees quit. One was the former assistant to the general manager who was there for three years. It was time to pursue her degree. The other two were employees who have had some rough situations with phones, bathrooms, and eating store products while the hiring manager was on the clock.
