Hallo! Mein Name ist Bernd, ich bin ein 48-jähriger Erfinder. In den letzten Jahren hatte ich so einige Ideen wie den unsichtbaren Regenmantel, den Kinderwagen mit Fernseher und Radio oder den sprachgesteuerten Vibrator. Heute jedoch stehe ich kurz vor dem Durchbruch! Was ich erfunden habe ist wirklich eine Innovation - und aus meiner Sicht super sexy...What...
In recent week's I've read how the economy is getting better, how jobs are becoming more plentiful and how overall things are turning around. Sometimes what you read in the newspaper or see on television just doesn't ring true closer to home. Having been out of college two years, my psychology degree hasn't been put to good use, unless good use is being a...
Laura pressed on the sides of her nostrils, hoping, like playdoh, her large peanut shaped nostrils would reform into normal circular or at least bean shaped ones. But it was no such luck as it popped right back into place.

With very few exceptions college swim meets do not attract much of a crowd so it was easy for me to spot Marina in the stands of...
For my sophomore year of college I put in for a room assignment in Maynard Hall, and I got it. Maynard was one of the oldest dorms on campus, small, ivy covered, with a reputation for being studious and quiet. All of that suited me fine. I hadn't liked the rambunctiousness of my freshman dorm and was looking forward to a more grown-up and serious sophomore y...
Beginning at an early age I heard the old adage that "life is strange." It wasn't until I was thirty two years old before I gave it any more thought than any other adage, such as "a bulldog can whip a skunk but it's not worth it," and "a clear conscience is the sign of a bad memory." Maybe I should have. A little background is necessary before I tie the old...
