Likewise, worthwhile thoughts need not use volumes to explain themselves. Here are some personal examples of each. http://writing.wikinut.com/A-Dozen-Random-Sunday-Morning-Thoughts/1vd8yi4g/ http://writing.wikinut.com/A-Dozen-Random-Sunday-Morning-Thoughts/1vd8yi4g/ Sun, 19 May 2013 16:49:48 GMT Being a teenager is tough. Being the parent of one is almost as difficult! Here are some tips, gleaned from 40 years of experience as a family therapist - and as the father of a now-grown child who once was a teen, herself. http://family.wikinut.com/Parenting-Teens/3j1pxlws/ http://family.wikinut.com/Parenting-Teens/3j1pxlws/ Thu, 16 May 2013 17:01:04 GMT Sometimes, a low price is not truly indicative of the best - or even of a good deal. When the company has no business ethics or honor, the consumer can only lose. http://reviews.wikinut.com/WTF-Accessories%3A-A-China-Based-Business-to-Avoid/2627j_sb/ http://reviews.wikinut.com/WTF-Accessories%3A-A-China-Based-Business-to-Avoid/2627j_sb/ Tue, 14 May 2013 19:19:47 GMT Silence is, ultimately, everlasting. Past and awaiting beneath the chaos and noise, it always has been, is and will be. http://writing.wikinut.com/The-Grace-of-Silence/1sdpu9cv/ http://writing.wikinut.com/The-Grace-of-Silence/1sdpu9cv/ Sun, 12 May 2013 20:22:37 GMT Two of America's classic canned baked beans Square off in a spoon-to-spoon taste Off with eleven dedicated bean eaters - Ages 12 to 76. http://humour.wikinut.com/A-Battle-of-the-Beans-%3A-B%26M-Original-VS.-Bush-s-Country-Style-Baked-Beans/1c7lct_y/ http://humour.wikinut.com/A-Battle-of-the-Beans-%3A-B%26M-Original-VS.-Bush-s-Country-Style-Baked-Beans/1c7lct_y/ Thu, 09 May 2013 18:57:53 GMT No one sounds the same to themselves as they sound to anyone else. Sound, like so many other things in life, is a predictably and consistently subjective experience. http://guides.wikinut.com/Why-Do-I-Sound-Differently-To-Others/3whc0i-n/ http://guides.wikinut.com/Why-Do-I-Sound-Differently-To-Others/3whc0i-n/ Mon, 06 May 2013 22:07:24 GMT We wonder 'why' about a lot of things. Sometimes, there are answers and sometimes there are not. Here are eleven of them I have caught myself wondering about - often. http://writing.wikinut.com/Why-Is-It-That-%E2%80%A6/2e-c52ye/ http://writing.wikinut.com/Why-Is-It-That-%E2%80%A6/2e-c52ye/ Wed, 01 May 2013 20:13:50 GMT We buy more than objects. We 'buy' ideas and beliefs as well. Objects can be returned if they turn out to be defective - but a thought, once taken home, builds a permanent roost in the person's self. http://writing.wikinut.com/Caveat-Emptor/2zby44v6/ http://writing.wikinut.com/Caveat-Emptor/2zby44v6/ Thu, 25 Apr 2013 22:14:47 GMT Wonderfully, people have the potential to be and to do meaningful good. Tragically, we also have the capacities to indulge in the basest and most damaging behaviors imaginable. http://writing.wikinut.com/Scraping-the-Bottom-of-the-Barrel/406env85/ http://writing.wikinut.com/Scraping-the-Bottom-of-the-Barrel/406env85/ Wed, 24 Apr 2013 01:28:58 GMT There remains something magical for me about air travel. The special quality of it has certainly diminished greatly over the years, but it remains an unusual - if not unnatural- experience. http://writing.wikinut.com/Every-Airline-Passenger/1u3_rrmq/ http://writing.wikinut.com/Every-Airline-Passenger/1u3_rrmq/ Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:19:53 GMT Incentives, if well developed and carefully market, present ever-present temptations and traps for those of us with some who are tempted to get more - especially if it is easy! http://writing.wikinut.com/Offering-Great-Incentives%21/4kthjinv/ http://writing.wikinut.com/Offering-Great-Incentives%21/4kthjinv/ Sat, 13 Apr 2013 03:32:17 GMT Too much fat is unhealthy - so is too little. The middle may seem routine, ordinary and boring, yet it is where the best chance for health is. http://writing.wikinut.com/Morbid-Obesity/2sw9i34h/ http://writing.wikinut.com/Morbid-Obesity/2sw9i34h/ Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:01:23 GMT Relationships sometimes remain intact after one or another of the partners has been unfaithful. The closeness and trust once known is never fully restored. The crack is irreparable. Life go on, but they have changed. http://writing.wikinut.com/After-Infidelity/19bfnrqn/ http://writing.wikinut.com/After-Infidelity/19bfnrqn/ Wed, 10 Apr 2013 06:04:24 GMT Although 'sharing' is something we teach to our children, all thoughts are not appropriate to make known to others. http://writing.wikinut.com/Silent-Sonnet/1-jhrq19/ http://writing.wikinut.com/Silent-Sonnet/1-jhrq19/ Sat, 06 Apr 2013 18:26:41 GMT Growing up as a child in Boston, a hot summer weekend day was called a "Beach Day" and that is where we went. To the ocean, sand an sun. Sandy sandwiches and baby oil. The seeds of trouble to come. http://writing.wikinut.com/Baked-Baby-Boomers/2i77aeny/ http://writing.wikinut.com/Baked-Baby-Boomers/2i77aeny/ Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:17:01 GMT The famous giant chanted, "Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum." I have made an ASSonance of his opening line! http://writing.wikinut.com/Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum/1_cdeaph/ http://writing.wikinut.com/Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum/1_cdeaph/ Sun, 31 Mar 2013 17:22:28 GMT People often talk about finding friends as though the quest is about coming across someone who has been lost. I suppose this could happen, but it is neither likely nor usually what we mean. Friends are made. http://guides.wikinut.com/Finding-a-Friend-or-Making-a-Friend/2qyiwbd-/ http://guides.wikinut.com/Finding-a-Friend-or-Making-a-Friend/2qyiwbd-/ Sat, 30 Mar 2013 07:38:13 GMT Back in the 1960's (when my home was built), Juniper was believed to be reliable and safe landscaping. This is no longer the case. It is high-risk growth. http://writing.wikinut.com/Beware-of-the-Juniper/_1s-xkc6/ http://writing.wikinut.com/Beware-of-the-Juniper/_1s-xkc6/ Wed, 27 Mar 2013 14:44:12 GMT Is the Chupacabra an imaginary creature? Perhaps and perhaps not. http://writing.wikinut.com/The-Chupacabra-and-Me/43s4_ip9/ http://writing.wikinut.com/The-Chupacabra-and-Me/43s4_ip9/ Sun, 24 Mar 2013 18:09:54 GMT In a series of seven Haiku, the relationship of feelings, thoughts and actions are considered. http://writing.wikinut.com/The-Value-of-Thought/29ya5-6v/ http://writing.wikinut.com/The-Value-of-Thought/29ya5-6v/ Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:55:35 GMT When the body's gyroscope is thrown off, balance becomes elusive. Medically, the phenomenon is called vertigo. http://writing.wikinut.com/Vertigo/2nl1u6jv/ http://writing.wikinut.com/Vertigo/2nl1u6jv/ Sat, 16 Mar 2013 14:58:18 GMT There are, in fact, real animals called Snipe. They are birds and this article is NOT about them. This is a story about an old and cherished ritual hazing of newcomers to the woodlands of Northern Wisconsin. A college memory. http://humour.wikinut.com/Snipe-Hunting-In-Wisconsin/39ht5ldw/ http://humour.wikinut.com/Snipe-Hunting-In-Wisconsin/39ht5ldw/ Wed, 13 Mar 2013 15:42:47 GMT Each new day begins and each of us experiences it with the tastes of yesterday still in our senses, and the anticipation of tomorrow in our minds. http://writing.wikinut.com/Red-Sky-In-The-Morning/5jk1hg7n/ http://writing.wikinut.com/Red-Sky-In-The-Morning/5jk1hg7n/ Mon, 04 Mar 2013 20:12:10 GMT Perception is how we see and understand things. Perspective is the angle from which we look at things. The two are always directly related. http://writing.wikinut.com/Perspective-and-Perception/l8xa8v0h/ http://writing.wikinut.com/Perspective-and-Perception/l8xa8v0h/ Fri, 01 Mar 2013 20:07:30 GMT
