Not All Chicken Attacks Happen on Farms
I am an aggressive, assertive opinionated dynamo who frequently plows ahead without thought or foresight, and who, if I do not curb my natural inclinations, will push and pull circumstances to mold to my dictation.
Does this sound like the definition of a patient person?

Black Tea with Milk Tastes So Much Better Than Boiled Persimmons
the tea was smokey, vegetal, herbaceous, or malty and it produced a bright finish with pungent overtones, or its liquor, smoothly sweet, led to a smooth and full-bodied cup.

Dear Emily: What Is the Appropriate Thing to Say upon Hitting One’s Thumb with a Hammer?
Understandably, everyone exclaims when they hit their thumb with a hammer, and, in most cases, it probably sounds like a chicken by-product. Some words just pop out more readily than others, and Goodness Gracious Sakes Alive Dear Mamma is just too long for most people. Continue reading

How to Write a Resume — Part Two — What to Put in It

How to Write a Resume, Part I
