ungrateful daughter-in-law
I just wish, for once, we could get the reactions that some of the LWs have to the answers and comments on their letters. Particularly, the daughter-in-law... her selfish and callous reaction is horrifying to me. I don't remember what presents my grandparents got me as a child; no doubt anything they got me was probably pretty simple and ...

Dissing your mother-in-law publicly - Now *that's* positive!
It's weird how the author recommends that we put a positive spin on things while simultaneously dissing her mother-in-law's and an acquaintance's negative ''characterizations.'' I thought the point was to stay attuned to the positive. And frankly, ''dabbling'' is not necessarily an insult. It depends on how you choose to interpret it. (And isn’t ...

Hail and farewell
Close yor eyes and you can see, high on the mountain, the funeral pyre from here. The Great Gygax is dead! As you turn you can see the endless sea of mourners in the shadowy night. Some say the worth of a man is by those he touched. Who here can stand up to that measure? We are better for having knowing him. Hail and farewell!

More, Please
More of your essays, please, Mr. Fagen. It never hit me that Turner was from Clarksdale. Truly a weird, fated place. Anyway, more essays, please.

"The Secret" = white magic?
I don't think anyone's really aware of this, but the whole concept behind the new media sensation “The Secret” may indeed be labeled as white magic. I love “The Secret,” it's a very neat concept that I personally use all the time; I don’t see any harm in using it as a tool for what I deem to be bettering my life – with the proper and right ...
