Pickles

It’s 2008 and the world is in a financial pickle.

fantastic to visit Canada. I heard my mom waking me up from my cozy bed. Than it was time to head over to Canada! When I got to the car my mom and my 2 brothers came to the car and then my dad started to drive. In a few minutes I was getting bored like a pickle in a jar. After 5 hours we were in Canada. First I saw skywheel, a haunted castle, ice cream, the Niagara Falls boat, and a gold man that gave people necklaces if they gave him money. My body was pounding all over downtown. Next my…

Lactococci are found associated with plant material, mainly grasses, from which they are easily inoculated into milk. Hence, they are found normally in milk and may be a natural cause of…

Two years ago I worked as a massage therapist for a well-known spa chain that had a high turner over rate for the front desk manager position. There was about period of four months where we did not have a manager or a presence of leadership. Essentially the owner would pop in once in a while just to make sure the business was functional and making money. During this time, my mother was declining from her fight with cancer. My father had called me on my cell phone at work to let me know that it…

The novel Ethan Frome and short story “Roman Fever”, both works of literature by Edith Wharton, show how Wharton layers her…

If a job required any sort of real intelligence or “know-how”, it was deemed unfit for a woman to do. Aside from just being a housewife, women were only allowed to do, what the male population referred to as, “women’s work”. Women’s work included spinning cloth, being a tailor, milliner, dyer, shoemaker, midwife or embroiderer. Some women worked in food preparation such as brewers, bakers or…
