51). Criminal Record - Stigma For Life
If you've ever been convicted of a crime, no matter how small, you know the stigma that you carry with you because of that conviction. Unfortunately, even something as minor as a shoplifting charge or disorderly conduct conviction can make life difficult in so many areas.
Probably the area where a criminal record has the most impact i...
52). Botox - The Rumor Mill
You knew it had to happen. Eventually the whole world would be looking at every Hollywood star and trying to figure out the one burning question in the back of their mind, "Did she or didn't she?" or, he as the case may be. We of course are referring to the stars who have gone and gotten themselves a bit of Botox injected into their faces.
53). Deep Fryer - Pieces of Wisdom
For a time I worked in a convenience store as a clerk and cook and I used a deep fryer quite a bit for cooking battered chicken and French fried potatoes.

54). Criminal Record - Holes In Reporting
Those who think that getting information on a person with a criminal record is as easy as picking up a phone and making a call may find this article an eye opener.

In 2001, states maintained cri...

56). ADD - What Is It?
ADHD, or what's more commonly referred to as simply ADD, is one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed diseases in the world.

58). Air Purifier - How To Tell If YOURS Is Any Good
These days it seems that everyone is gung ho about air purification systems. People with allergies, people with asthma and people who are just cleanliness freaks.

59). African Safaris - What Kind Are There?
There are many types of African safaris. I always thought of a safari as something you did with John Wayne and chased big rhinos, or hunted elephants and lions. Not so.

60). Airline Tickets: Make Some Time to Save Some Money
When people decide to travel, the last thing that in general crosses their mind has to do with airline tickets.

The world has become health crazy. There is no getting around it, we are turning towards healthier whole grain cereals and breads, we're exercising more, and we're cleaning our homes like fanatical lunatics.

67). Adoption - The Ultimate in Red Tape
An associate of mine finds it very interesting that any couple in this world, no matter how rich or poor, no matter what they do for a living, no matter if they have a criminal record or not, no matter what kind of persons they are, can have as many kids as they like and nobody can say one word about it.
But when a middle class, hard w...

70). Horses - Sir Barton
There have been many great triple crown winners in horse racing history. But none faded farther into obscurity than the triple crown winner Sir Barton.

71). Lighting - High Tech With Solar Power
From the first time I saw, first hand, a solar cell making electricity, I was hooked. It was magnetic. I was going to have one, making electricity for me, one day. I didn't get around to trying it, until about 1979. I ordered $400.00 worth of solar cells from a company in California. I made a makeshift solar panel with them, which worked for a whil...

74). Horses - Breeds, A To Z
A horse is a horse of course of course. Right? Well, not exactly. There are more breeds of horses than Carter has liver pills. We're just going to touch on a few examples here, otherwise we're going to need a book about 2000 pages long.
For example, and we'll just start with the letter A, there is the Australian Stock Horse. This is o...

Adoption services and agencies are one of the most remarkable services in the world, because of the emotions involved.

Adoption servic...
77). Parental Control - TV Rating System
With the increase of sex and violence on television, or as George Carlin likes to delicately put it, "Sax and Violins", parents have to be more careful than ever about what they allow their children to watch. But how do they do that? Unless they've got some kind of guide or know every movie that's ever come out there is just no way they can possibl...

80). Motivational Speaking - Stuck in the Middle with All of You
Why do we need structure? Why does the desire for the cubicle life consume us all? What is it about money and the white picket fence that dismantles our dreams, destroys our imagination and devalues the sense of adventure in people?
From the time we enter kindergarten until the time we exit college we are poked and prodded and led in ...
81). Cell Phone Magic - A Leap From The Radio Telephone
My introduction to the grand daddy of cell phones was while I was working as a Forest Fire Lookout man, in the early 1980s.

Start your dog's "senior" years off by having a vet exam once yearly, so that you can keep pac...
91). The Difficulties of Living With Fibromyalgia
It's not easy to live with fibromyalgia. It is not easy due to the fact that, like myself, you have no knowledge about how you are going to feel when you wake up in the morning. One day there's pain beyond belief and the next you can feel as if you are walking on clouds, no pain and a day full of activity.
My day normally starts with ...

96). Breast Cancer Information Is Important
Breast cancer usually happens when certain cells located in the breast start to grow out of control, taking over nearby tissue and spreading throughout the body.
