![]() TOWARD THE END OF To Have and Have Not, as the narrative pans across Key West's yacht basin-past the quarrelling homosexuals, past the impotent old industrialist, and past the innocent, dull, rich family and the wandering Estonians-we eventually find ourselves in the mind of the "extraordinarily pretty" Dorothy Hollis. Hemingway's choice of the last name "Hollis" for Dorothy is the tip of a little iceberg-at once an inside joke, a sign of Hemingway's deteriorating relationship with his second wife, Pauline, and a bitterly ironic commentary on one of the novel's most important themes: the plight of one man-or one woman-alone. ![]() ![]() In Hemingway's To Have and Have Not, Dorothy Hollis is more than just another lonely, sexually troubled soul among the "haves" in Key West's yacht basin. ![]()

![]() I was really frustrated by how childish Daisy acted for most of this book, but I did really like how it ended. I’m definitely going to read more from this author.Īnything You Can Do by R.S. I loved Logan and Paige’s relationship with his sisters. The Marriage Effect (Washington Wolves #3) by Karla Sorensen. I might even try the next book to see where this crazy story goes. It’s getting two stars instead of one just because it kept my attention enough that I actually finished it. It was quite ridiculous and over the top. So this is kind of the definition of Trashy Romance and Toxic Relationship. ![]() Reviewing the Unreviewed is my monthly post where I share my few thoughts on all the books I didn’t formally review.īoys of Brayshaw High (Brayshaw High #1) by Meagan Brandy. ![]() ![]() Some I just wasn’t feeling it on whatever particular day I finished.

The authors have played critical roles in the modern rediscovery of entheogens, and The Road to Eleusis presents an authoritative exposition of their views. Although controversial when first published in 1978, the book’s hypothesis has become more widely accepted in recent years, as knowledge of ethnobotany has deepened. The authors then expand the discussion to show that natural psychedelic agents have been used in spiritual rituals across history and cultures. In this groundbreaking work, three experts-a mycologist, a chemist, and a historian-argue persuasively that the sacred potion given to participants in the course of the ritual contained a psychoactive entheogen. ![]() The secretive Mysteries conducted at Eleusis in Greece for nearly two millennia have long puzzled scholars with strange accounts of initiates experiencing otherworldly journeys. ![]() ![]() ![]() While poverty is commonly seen as a personal failure, or a deficiency of character or knowledge, it's actually the result of bad policy. Low-income families and individuals are everywhere, from cities to rural communities. Nearly 40 million people in the United States live below the poverty line-about $26,200 for a family of four. With key policy changes, we could eradicate poverty in this country within our lifetime-but we need to get started now.

Start with a solid introduction and think about how to trade opinions to make the conversation progress. So keep those worries out and stay confident. Sometimes, we don’t realize that the other party may be just as nervous. “ OMG is there sauce on my chin, do my brows still look natural, is he bored?” don’t sweat about the things you can’t control, that’s how to gain the other speaker’s respect. However, regardless of how subtle you think you are when fidgeting, the other person will see through all those concerns. You can’t help feeling overly conscious about how loudly you’re chewing or if you’re showing too much cleavage. Let’s take an example, you’re sitting across the table on a date.

Typically the medal is bestowed upon the recipient by the sitting president who has chosen them. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is awarded by the president of the United States "for especially meritorious contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors."

Conventional treatment focuses on removal, while alternative approaches emphasize gradual remission. Folk remedies for treating warts abound, and there is no single treatment that works every time. Calluses can be treated with water soaks to soften the callus and a pumice stone or nail file to pare it down. ![]() In many cases, though, they are too painful to ignore and treatment is necessary.ĭeciding how to treat your plantar wart may depend on your ability to tolerate the pain that the various treatments may cause. Like all warts, they are harmless and may go away even without treatment. The increased pressure from the calluses can make the feet very painful. Regular activities including standing and walking tend to cause calluses, which protect the warts and make treatment more difficult. Plantar warts are warts that develop on the soles or bottom of the feet (the plantar surface). ![]() This treatment removes the wart’s outer layers to eventually reach the inner layer, so total length of time will depend on size of the wart. A plantar wart may take up to 12 weeks to fall off or disappear with the use of salicylic acid. ![]() |
