Have you ever felt this way?
Has this ever happened to you? Just sitting by and waiting for an opportunity for the coach to call your name and he never does. Then like every time before you go home broken and dejected your feelings hurt. You feel like you are a contributor because you don't miss practice and you give one hundred percent but, your coach feels you aren't good enough. Then a game like this one as described in the song happens and the coach doesn't understand why.

Over the course of my life, very few "things" remained constant for me to finally realize the difference between like and love. Entering into full adult mode, I finally found that neither like nor love held any comparison to something called passion. With passion I realized that the ambers that were there the whole time in the background, started to stoke a fire within.

Scissors eh? What would I have done without them? Scissors have distracted me from some of the saddest times in my life and absorbed me in the constructive times in my life.
Full Circle Thrifting
Ask anyone I know, yes anyone, and they will all tell you the same thing - Sue is thrifty and just a little lucky. Sue hates to spend money, especially when there are perfectly good items out there waiting to be recycled and reused. Perhaps most of all, Sue likes to make money off items she cannot personally use.

Estate sales and storage lockers tend to have a very distinct aroma. Dust and memories coat every surface and draw in curiosity. When you grow up working in a second-hand store, you get to see more than your fair share of musty dusty collections of lost treasures.
Echo MayernikPublished 3 years ago in JournalBlack Book of Rewards & Consequences
Once upon a time in a world filled with 3 types of people, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and westerns are no longer the first thing to come to mind. When reality and fantasy are no longer separate and you find yourself questioning your own sanity, this is where my story begins.

Browsing old books at a yard sale I found a black leather-bound notebook that appeared to be quite aged and worn. On the lined paper was a neat cursive script written in fountainpen. Turning to the inside cover I read: Journal of David Moore, Expedition to the Klondike 1896. That night armed with a couple fingers of single malt I sat and began to read of his adventure.
Doug CaldwellPublished 3 years ago in JournalGoing Into Domestic Service
Very few have them today, whereas in the 19th Century, one and a half million people worked as them (1 in 4 worked as one). I am talking about “Servants.” Today, we seem fascinated about this subject = how the maid lived? How old was the kitchen maid? What did the footman actually do? I personally have always been interested because my grandmother worked as a maid “in a big house” and I remember her trying to teach me how to serve dinner: “always serve on the left and pick up on the right.”

Being African American, and being the daughter of an inventor, as well as being a native New Englander, I am absolutely fascinated by Robert Benjamin Lewis. Not much is known about him, but he was a black man who had in fact, was an inventor, entrepreneur, as well as a successful marketer back in the day when accomplishments of people of color and their achievements were not celebrated or acknowledged, and very rarely recorded. He was the author of the book "Light and Truth" written and published in 1836, considered to be the first "history book". The topic was the relationship between African Americans and Native Americans in relation to the Bible.
