5 Romanian Ways to Lose Weight
And you don't drink anything in the morning either? I find I have to have something warm right when I wake up. I prefer tea but I often have to drink coffee, as wake up and find I'm not ready for the day :)

@Jo John Barleycorn is known here too. There's an old British folksong of that title (which was sung by the band Traffic in 1970-odd, forming the title track to their LP of the same name). This is an excuse to share this video of lead singer ...

5 Romanian Ways to Lose Weight
Sometimes, depends. The 3pm slump is a killer. But I definitely can't eat at 5.30am when I wake up and don't often want to eat at 8am when I get to work. So it's later when I've settled down, ticked a few boxes for things to do and start needing ...

10 Ways to Keep Creative Writing Ideas Flowing
Your suggestions are so good, Sam! I like that you started with "Become a people watcher." I was thinking about it the other day, too. People are really so very interesting to watch, even if you glimpse them for a moment. (Watching doesn't have ...

Once you study world religions and other cultures, historic and/or modern, you break out of the conceptual mould in which you have been constrained. The pint pot of your earlier thought systems cannot contain the gallon or more that the mind has ...

As I said, I'm amazed that you can go so long without a meal. Ten hours is a long time for me. No snacks at all?

I do hope that you haven't copyrighted 'the procrustean bed of the empirical', because that's fabulous and I hope to add it to my stock phrases!
I do believe that its your British/Irish blood talking in that nature as the divine thing. The ...

Jesus Through Pagan Eyes: a Christian Reflection and Analysis

Thanks for this insight. I've not really anything ...
