Similar to facebook, you simply "register" and then you can do whatever you want... as much or as little as you feel. You can set up a profile and begin to fill your "shelves" with books you've "read"... "want to read"... "are reading" etc. etc. You can make "friends" with other members and even… Continue

A Manner of Speaking
I know you've all been around people like this. Loud talkers.
What's with these insecure morons who require all the attention? You know the kind. Whether you're in a private setting or a group activity... regardless of who's talking or how many... this idiot, usually female... will talk over anyone within earshot. Yes, talk OVER… Continue

SQUEEZE ME?
A hug is truly wonderful because it is both physical and psychological as it generates emotions and can even trigger memories. A hug is primarily a form of non-verbal communication. It brings people t… Continue

Allure of Vampires
Exploring the fascination humans have with the fantasy characters in literature and film will plunge you into a world of inconsistencies and contradictions. What lies in wait are the ingredients for varieties of concocted tales that rely upon the imaginative tastes of the author’s pen. And from that pool of boundless fiction, many an author has produced a delicious treat that appears in the form of a mysterious, yet easily recognized figure. Though they vary f… Continue

His security guys show up, but so do some of the "foreigners." Why? What is he missing? What is Jillian keeping from him?
All this and trying to keep Chang alert enough to get his notes organized. It was going to be a long night.

“Believe I’ll stand.” My voice reflected my irritation. My h… Continue

I am thankful for being able to live here in Murphy
Yesterday, I spent almost all day in town, talking to business owners I already knew, meeting new ones, and spreading the word about Murphy Connections and Murphy Gold.
As the day progressed, I was reminded, all over again, how much I love living here and how much I appreciate the people who have lived here all their lives and others, like me, who have chosen to move here.
Murphy isn't perfect, but it's the best place I've ever lived.
Have you ever noticed how clean the town… Continue

Thank you, veterans
To some it may sound trite, but to others it is a deeply held, heartfelt bit of wisdom: Freedom isn't free.
For every war that the United States has fought, there have been thousands or even millions of our neighbors, friends, and family slogging in the mud, freezing in the cold, burning in the heat, and being exposed to things and events that nobody wants… Continue

Happy birthday, Mom. I miss you.
I tried to keep my mind off of this and not dwell on it, but whenever I was driving, I would return to memories of her. I thought of her when I was young and she was so active and friendly. I thought of her after she moved to Murphy and she and Dad loved living here and met great friends. Then, without warni… Continue

Real People, Real Success...
"Tamar and I did lots and lots of research on kid birthday parties and started experimenting with our ideas on kids and during parties whenever the opportunity arose. We wrote up lots of content for the site and I was in charge of strategy and building the site from a technical aspect (although, with Site Build It!, you really don't need any technical knowledge because you can build a site through simple building blocks and monitor every aspect of traffic through a consolidated control center.). In no time, both of us became kid birthday junkies." ~ Elad Shippony coolest-parties.com
