grammabean This is excellent! I once wrote about something that was very personal. The emotions of guilt were so real that I physically broke out in a sweat. So, you must be able to deal with real emotions. And it is putting those emotions down on paper that make your...

grammabean I can't even imagine that you have children! How in the world can you not realize that children at the age of 2 have no concept of right or wrong????!!!! A spanking is not a beating! And a beating is inhumane!!! There is as much difference between spanking...

grammabean Did you ever notice? Everytime there is a question, such as this, and the scholars can't find an answer, they can always rely on the old faithful..."Well, it was lost in the translation." That's funny, how come what they --can-- answer, wasn't "lost in...

It broke my heart last night to see them go down like that. But, I think they should be proud, especially Garcia. He played to win.He played with his heart, you could see it in him. No offense to McNabb but, Garcia had a edge...

grammabean And here's what I'd like to know - am almost dreading to think about - What about next season? Suppose our star McNabb (gotta love him!!!) DOES come back next year, will the inspiration that Jeff Garcia gave this awesome team this year be carried on by...

My husband is probably one of the biggest Eagles Fans there is. He sticks with them no matter what. So, I also watch a lot of their games. They are a great team and Mcnabb is a great quarterback but it seems he gets hurt more...

grammabean I noticed that too, that he didn't look very happy on the sidelines! I am ecstatic to see how well Jeff Garcia has played. At first, I hoped AJ would be backup qb, but as time goes on, Jeff has shown us why Andy Reid chose him! And yes, I feel terrible...

Is it laziness or just stupidity? I wonder if people just get in a hurry and don't spell check or if they just don't care or do they really not know how to spell. I find it so hard to read things when people misspell words or...

grammabean Congratulations on trying to relearn! Been there, done that - only in Math! But your post was very easy to read. You did not use that computer shorthand of mixing letters and numbers or letters only for us to try to understand what you were saying. Now,...

grammabean I agree, because we are not doing it "professionally", we tend to undervaluate what our time is worth. I have been in similar situations when doing calligraphy work and my 3D paper artwork. And I agree with the poster who makes a very valid point that the...

grammabean Great tips here! I, too, believe that your resume should be a reflection of you and your abilities. One other suggestion: In the Objective statement, use some of the key words listed in the job description for which you are applying (as suggested in this...
