Download or read book Tales of a Slightly Off Supermom written by Deb DiSandro and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 2003-01-31 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humor essays from a radio host and syndicated columnist who is the “Erma Bombeck for a whole new generation of frazzled moms and dads” (Amy Carr, Daily Herald). Disguised as an average soccer mom, she’s faster than a speeding toddler, more powerful than a teenage temper tantrum, and able to leap loads of laundry in a single bound! Deb DiSandro is here to save the day. Her hilarious, heartfelt essays on the ages and stages of motherhood are sure to help families everywhere see the humor in their own foibles. From bringing home the new baby to dog training and the thermostat wars, Supermom has seen it all. She has negotiated peace over paint finishes, she has overthrown the powerful regime of the kitchen gadgets, and she has even pinned down the elusive wild teenager in the farthest reaches of suburban malls. But this mom is slightly off: she finds humor in her teenager’s unintelligible mumbling, in the dog’s flagrant disobedience, and in her husband’s merciless drive for the perfect dimmer switch. “Deb DiSandro is not slightly off—she is straight on target. Her essays bubble with wit, freshness, and ever-so-real life.” —Jacquelyn Mitchard, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Deep End of the Ocean “Anyone thinking of committing to parenthood needs to read Deb DiSandro. Her humor and wisdom on the subject of child-raising may help you appreciate the many advantages of getting a Yorkie instead.” —D. L. Stewart, author of Paternity Ward “Deb DiSandro’s instincts about family life are sound and her perspective refreshing.” —William H. Doherty, author of Putting Family First

She can sense danger (for example, a carload of speeding teenagers not wearing their seat belts) and spring into action with superhuman speed. She can find out what her daughter is up to on the Internet without even having to snoop. And she’s got cleaning powers ordinary women can only dream of.… Warm, witty, and full of heart, Confessions of Super Mom is the tale of a woman who dares to take a stand against everything from stubborn stains to smug exs to corporate CEOs—and winds up defeating evil in some very unexpected ways.
Download or read book Getting Off written by Erica Garza and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Erica Garza has written a riveting, can’t-look-away memoir of a life lived hardcore…In an era when predatory male sexual behavior has finally become a topic of urgent national discourse…Getting Off makes for a wild, timely read” (Elle). A fixation on porn and orgasm, strings of failed relationships and serial hook-ups with strangers, inevitable blackouts to blunt the shame—these are not things we often hear women share publicly, and not with the candor, eloquence, and introspection Erica Garza brings to Getting Off. What sets this courageous and riveting account apart from your typical misery memoir is the absence of any precipitating trauma beyond the garden variety of hurt we’ve all had to endure in simply becoming a person—reckoning with family, learning to be social, integrating what it means to be sexual. Whatever tenor of violence or abuse Erica’s life took on through her behavior was of her own making, fueled by fear, guilt, self-loathing, self-pity, loneliness, and the hopelessness those feelings brought on as she runs from one side of the world to the other in an effort to break her habits—from East Los Angeles to Hawaii and Southeast Asia, through the brothels of Bangkok and the yoga studios of Bali to disappointing stabs at therapy and twelve-steps back home. In these remarkable pages, Garza draws an evocative, studied portrait of the anxiety that fuels her obsessions, as well as the exhilaration and hope she begins to feel when she suspects she might be free of them. Getting Off offers a brave and necessary voice to our evolving conversations about addiction and the impact that internet culture has had on us all—“a profoundly genuine, gripping story that any reader can appreciate” (Vice). “In reading Garza’s insight into her own experiences, we better understand ourselves” (The New York Times Book Review).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucy Manor is an attractive young woman, 22 years old, an only child with loving parents and a mother who loves to cook. She also is a schizophrenic, and has auditory and visual hallucinations that can torment her for hours. Medicine helps for a little while, but sometimes it makes her diagnosis scarier. Her story begins when the living room becomes a complete mess, the lamp overturned, the bookshelves on the floor. The police come, but there is no evidence of a break-in, no fingerprints. Then Lucy meets Brian, a wonderful and affectionate young man who teaches disabled children in the fifth grade, but Lucy is ashamed about telling Brian she is not working and puts Brian off. She can’t work because of her sickness, she wants medication that will let her work, and her doctor gives her some. She starts seeing Brian, starts going with him to church and enjoying life with her family. Lucy starts applying for jobs, gets one at a clothing store she likes, has a good start at it, but then she breaks down at the store, and throws shelves and clothes on the floor. The job is over, and Lucy is in the hospital. She goes back to her doctor, who tells her she can’t work because of her illness. Can a young woman with schizophrenia date? Brian calls to see how she is, a pleasant life begins together, but that doesn’t stop Lucy’s hallucinations. One night she has nightmares all night long. When she wakes up in the middle of the night, she feels a man’s presence in her bedroom. Then she hears “Lucy. Lucy.” She looks out to the tree line trying to see if someone is there. She hesitates then slowly moves closer to the small open field but doesn’t see anyone. Lucy gets new medication and starts her life with Brian again. Dining out, the art museum, a musical, a gallery opening for an old school friend. But then Lucy has a horrid nightmare and wakes up screaming. Her name is called from the window again. Her parents help her recover, and she spends time with Brian again. Brian tells Lucy he wants to marry her and have children, but Lucy tells him she can’t marry him. She can’t have children because of her illness. Brian does not understand, but they stay together. Lucy returns to the painting she did when she was younger, and shows Brian some of her paintings. He is enthusiastic and wants her to have a gallery show. Lucy does a painting of Brian, they show it to the owner of the gallery. he likes it and tells Lucy she can have a show at his gallery. Brian and Lucy are excited, go through Brian’s photographs, and Lucy picks several to paint for her show and paints a pair of elks, a turkey, a father and son flying kites. And a white terrier sticking his head out of an old red truck window.. Then Brian’s roommate moves out, and he asks Lucy if she would like to rent a room in his apartment. She thinks about it. The time for the art gallery show of Lucy’s paintings arrives. It is a charity show that is given for a young boy who has Leukemia. Everybody loves Lucy’s paintings, all of them sold, and a magazine is going to do an article on them. All is well. Lucy is sitting on a rocking chair on the front porch. She follows a voice, which takes her further into the woods. Someone behind her grabs her and holds a cloth over her face. It’s the last thing she remembers before she opens her eyes in a dark, cold room. Her hands are tied behind her chair, and her feet are latched tightly together. The voice says, “I told you I’d get you, I’ve been waiting a long time. I had to trash your house so I could put a camera in your vent.” Lucy is sedated, tasered until she screams, and kept in the dark. Suddenly Lucy wakes up in the middle of the woods. Her hands are no longer tied, her feet are no longer latched. Her parents take her home. When she wakes up she is in a hospital room, and her hands are restrained.
Book Synopsis Testosterone Inc by : Christopher M. Byron
Download or read book Testosterone Inc written by Christopher M. Byron and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-04-08 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Testosterone Inc.: Tales of CEOs Gone Wild, bestselling author and New York Post columnist Chris Byron chronicles the Gatsby-like saga of the rise and fall of the celebrity CEO. During the height of the 1990s bull market, they were America’s new heroes: the heroes of business. They were our bold new leaders, cutting the fat, pushing for productivity, implementing visionary plans, and making strategic deals. When the bull market turned to bust and the applause turned to cat-calls, the world was shocked at the truth. Drenched in money and public acclaim, our CEO-heroes—mostly white, mostly male, mostly middle-aged—turned out to be not much different than a group of twenty-something rock stars—drunk on power and driven by sex, greed, and glamour. Testosterone Inc. goes behind the boardroom doors to show the serial affairs and marriages of these acquisitive corporate titans. At the center of this story is Jack Welch, the biggest of America’s rock star CEOs and the former head of General Electric Co., surrounded by “mini-me” CEOs Ron Perelman of Revlon, Al Dunlap of Sunbeam, and Dennis Kozlowski of Tyco—all gone wild in public displays of consumption and predatory appetites writ large. Byron gets inside the bars where Welch liked to hang out and pick up women with his early “business soul mate” buddies. Byron hovers unseen at the elbow of Ron Perelman and his mistress aboard the Concorde for a week in Paris in his mistaken belief that his wife knows nothing about his secret affair. Byron peeks behind the curtains of a U.S. Army officers’ quarters to behold Al Dunlap horrifying his first wife, who claimed in her divorce action that Dunlap would point his knife at her and say, “I often wondered what human flesh tasted like.” Byron becomes a fly on the wall to chronicle the longing for respect and serial womanizing of Dennis Kozlowski. Frequently hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, Testosterone Inc. follows the intertwined lives of these four corporate heroes, from childhood to their ultimate moments of glory and the crash-and-burn calamities that followed, as man’s age-old hunger for power, greed, and temptation undid them all. From suicide to murder, from dysfunctional childhoods to dysfunctional marriages in adulthood, from business chutzpah to financial suicide, here is the ultimate untold business story of our time: what went on at century’s end, when testosterone got the best of businessmen everywhere, and CEOs went wild.
