As someone who is far from the golden sheep to my adoptive father but who is close to a younger sibling who is very popular and well favored in the family; if you care enough about your sibling you will leave well enough alone. My statement to the sibling who feels left out might not be popular but I think it is more important for you to reach out to your sibling on how you feel rather than try to change your parents' mind. In my situation it is the exact opposite, as far as I know, I do not stand to gain anything from my adoptive father and I made it clear it clear to another sibling that I would understand if they are the sole and only beneficiary of whatever is left because for me getting along with my sibling is more important than trying to obtain financial benefits that I should be trying to create myself instead of expecting others to provide. Additionally, I say this because someone may be getting kicked in the game of life for now, but there is also the chance that the same person can become a master at the game of life within five years of less from now.

I admit that one of the reasons why the Westworld tv show catches my attention is because of the adventure component that is attached to it, such as the case with the Vikings tv show from the History channel and the Last Ship (which are also good tv shows).

Both photos reflect Kate Middleton in gorgeous dresses. Yet for some reason, I feel that the red dress brings out Kate Middleton's positive vibe and sense of happiness compared to the other dress.

From my perspective, Elizabeth Hurley and Ellie Goulding look at ease in these two photos and self-confident with themselves. For Hurley's daring look, I take her hat look as an empowering symbolism towards the positive traits affiliated with the phoenix.

I'm blessed to say that both my husband and I share similar positive outlooks on life and are on the same page when it comes to our goal to have a lasting and close marriage for life regardless of what others think andor say. Additionally, I'm already intuitively and logically aware of most of these principles. However, my intuition and logic are guiding me to save this article as more of an unofficial article mentor in the same way that close married couples would turn to and befriend other happily married couples.

When it comes to my writing/being an author goals, I'm in the process of integrating my dreams with the practical side of life and develop more resilient positive emotions that balance out challenging emotions andor thoughts either from myself andor others that may surface. I'm learning to be more resourceful each day. Coming across articles such as this inspirational feature of J.K. Rowling's journey as an accomplished writer remind me that there is more to gain from sticking with a firm decision to continually try while fleshing out my writing objectives even if my goals are considered lofty andor my ability to be courageous is tested. Yes, I also understand that I must persist in my journey as a writer with little concern of whether the result is obscurity or fame.

 A Strong Mix of Exquisite Rock/Pop Songs,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Now That's What I Call The 1990s (Audio CD)
This cd collection of NOW That's What I Call The 90s by various artists contains a superb mix of various rock and pop songs from the 1990’s. There are 18 songs on this cd streamlining eclectic music rock/pop blends such as Ordinary World by Duran Duran, Shine by Collective Soul, You Gotta Be by Desree, One Week by Barenaked Ladies, Lullaby by Shawn Mullins (the Lullaby song came to me in a dream one night in 2009 when I was actually nervous about a professional change I was voluntarily making and I’m blessed to say that things turned out better than I expected). Sublime, Live, Joan Osborne, and more songs are also featured within this collection.

| Depeche Mode Originals,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Depeche Mode - Videos 86>98 + (DVD)
This two dvd set of Depeche Mode - Videos 86>98 + is a worthwhile purchase for me for two reasons. The first reason has to do with the multiple music videos on both discs that showcase original and well-thought out songs (such as the push the envelope yet unique World in My Eyes, In Your Room, Walking In My Shoes etc). There are also the features of an Interview With Depeche Mode, Depeche Mode-A Short Film. Disc Two has 4 different music videos of But Not Tonight (listed to be from the film Modern Girls which makes me curious to check out the movie), Strange Love 88 (US Version), One Caress (US Video), Condenmation (Paris Mix) plus 3 short films listed to be Violator 13/11/90, Songs of Faith & Devotion 27/01/93 and Ultra 26/02/97. Basically, Disc One has 126 minutes of music video and Depeche Mode footage which is divided up into 23 tracks. Disc Two is 87 minutes and divided up into 4 different music videos and 3 short films. Additionally, having these music videos brings back positive memories for me because this dvd set is a related variation on the two disc music cd set that my spouse bought for me back in January 2005 for our one year wedding anniversary. My husband, who I admit stoked my interest in Depeche Mode when we first started dating in 2003 with the Depeche Mode Exciter cd, gifted me with disc one of The Singles 86>98 by Depeche Mode as well as the Singles 81>85 by Depeche Mode around January 2005.

| Gift From My Mother in Law,
This review is from: Samsung Chromebook 3 XE500C13-K02US 4 GB RAM 16GB SSD 11.6" Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)
My mother in law generously bought for me this easy to carry and light Samsung Chromebook 3 XE500C13-K02US 4 GB RAM 16GB SSD 11.6" Laptop (Black) less than 3 and a half weeks ago. This portable computer easily allows me to use the internet in a portable form while still also seamlessly fitting into one of my backpacks.

| A Good Variety of 90’s And Early 2000’s R&B Songs,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Essential R&B: 40 Essential Urban Licks (Audio CD)
It is easy for me to enjoy multiple songs from this collection of Essential R&B; 40 Essential Urban Licks (featuring various artists) due to my previous familiarity with many of the songs. I had previously heard some of these songs from as far back as during my time in middle school (Right Here by SWV and Back and Forth by Aaliyah), during my time in high school (Hard Knock Life by JayZ) and when I was living in Japan and then California through the U.S. Navy (Beautiful by Snoop Dogg feat. Pharrell, One Call Away by Chingy etc.). The one feature that I like the most on this cd is a good variety of songs by female and male artists and groups that have been featured through radio airplay andor television (as well as different decades featured through the 90s and the early 2000’s).

| TV Show Ideas,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: TV (The Book): Two Experts Pick the Greatest American Shows of All Time (Kindle Edition)
For me, this kindlebook of TV (the book) Two Experts Pick The Greatest American Shows of All Time by Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Zeitz is a good guide to look into because it exposes me to the awareness of tv shows for me to check out that transcend beyond my targeted demographic. Fortunately, my husband ignored whether I was the target audience when he introduced me to the Vikings television show,Venture Bros., and Doctor Who. Additionally, I would not have found out about the Last Ship Tv show without looking at guides such as Entertainment Weekly or my recent discovery of Westworld (from the Washingtonian magazine website). I understand that sometimes shows tailored to/targeted in ads to someone like me are done with good intent. However, my intuition/logic influencing me to check out even television shows that I know that I’m not the target audience for as a way for helping me to understand good storytelling in a better fashion, fulfill my craving for adventure, and expose me to different ways of thinking (human nature wise) that open my mind to accepting different viewpoints from mine (regardless of whether I think such thoughts are of a dark nature or a good nature). This kindlebook currently has images of various actors/actresses from various tv shows such as Jon Hamm for what looks to be Mad Men, Bryan Cranston for Breaking Bad, Kerry Washington for Scandal, actors/actress affiliated with the Seinfeld tv show, an image of what looks to be for the 30 Rock tv show of Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan, and more tv show images on the front cover. One of the criteria that they admit to using is basing it on US Televisions shows (they acknowledge the popularity of such show as Fawlty Towers, Kingdom etc.). One season shows are also featured such as My So-Called Life and shows written about for groups (The Golden Girls, Friends). Detailed explanations are given in the book such as for the reasoning behind the selection of The Simpsons tv show.

| Helps Me Raise the Bar Higher For Myself,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Talent is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else (Paperback)
I confess that this book Talent is Overrated; What Really Separates World Class Performers From Everybody Else by Geoff Colvin as an Amazon feature recommendation due to my previous/past purchases of the Daniel Coyle books (The Talent Code and The Little Book of Talent) in addition to Mindset by Carol Dweck. I admit that I also purchased this book as an encouragement/book mentor to myself to continue improving on and sharpening my writing skills regardless of what is reflected in my external reality. The book touches on areas such as deliberate practice (page 7) and hiring a teacher andor coach for certain objectives related to desired skill building (page 67). Knowing Where You Want to Go is touched on (page 109) and allocating time and resources towards deliberate practice (page 171).

| Quality Medley of Dance, Club, Seductive Pop,
This review is from: Glory (Deluxe Version) (Audio CD)
I admit that I actually pre-ordered the Glory (Deluxe Version) by Britney Spears this past summer courtesy of my husband (who happened to have picked up on my interest in Britney Spears one year when he purchased her Blackout cd for me around my 27th birthday). This collection has a list of songs grow on me each listen to where it is tricky for me to choose and I would obviously plan to watch any video releases in connection with this cd. Of course there are also the well known hits Make Me feat. G-Eazy and Slumber Party. However, I have to agree with the others who say that this collection is actually one of the cds that you can play each song through without skipping a song. I would say that the best way to determine if you would like this collection is to go ahead and play the songs Private Show, Hard to Forget Ya, and Change Your Mind (because the whole tempo of the Glory collection is along the lines of these songs).

| Music From The TV Show,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Queer As Folk (Audio CD)
If You Watched Season One of Queer As Folk and liked some of the music from the show, then there is a good chance that you might like the music to the Queer As Folk cd featuring various artists. I admit that back in 2014 I purchased season one of this show at first thinking I would get a variation of the Mad Men tv show, yet I still ended up enjoying the season one dvd set and this Queer as Folk Season one cd despite both the tv show and the music being different from what I initially expected. The songs on this cd have a mixed blend of club, house, and disco music on multiple songs and unique songs that I would not have heard had it not been for the discovery of this cd (such as the song Straight to Number One (DreamCatcher’s Mix by Touch & Go).

- I feel lucky to admit that I decided to try this & Pizza near Chinatown less than three weeks ago after my mother in law treated me there for my birthday as she was also visiting (along with my brother in law and nieces). My mother in law, my husband, my brother in law and nieces all seemed to like their pizzas. I tried the Maverick pizza that comes with various meats-pepperoni, Italian sausage, tomato, mozzarella, pesto, parmesan. I actually had the same pizza when I came back less than two weeks later and fortunately it still tasted good and the customer service I got from the employees handling my order were also satisfactory. The appetizing drink combinations that they have at this location; burdock and Anise root beer, cherry bomb, ginger berry lemonade, pear & fig elixir. Additionally, I have previously had pizza from such places as the &Pizza location inside the Ronald Reagan National Airport (October 2016) and near the Columbia Heights metro (April 2016), which fortunately my personal experience at this Chinatown &Pizza location matched up with the Columbia Heights and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport experiences. I admit that it helped that my most recent experience pertained to me visiting on a Friday evening before a crowd of customers normally come (I came around 4:10 p.m. on my recent visit and even one of the employees politely explained that I came before the timeframe of their expected rush).
Less than a week ago, I stopped by The University Shop in College Park Maryland to purchase a red ballcap with the University of Maryland Terps label. I spoke to one of the cashiers who explained the prices and helped me with some questions that I had. I was out of the store pretty quickly once I made my purchase and the cashier was friendly to me.
I admit that due to the price of the cupcakes and my personal goals, my husband and I only occasionally get cupcakes from the Red Velvet Cupcakery near the Chinatown metro(my husband had to actually remind me when he thought was our last visit to put it nicely). The most recent visit was because my husband bought some cupcakes for me here in honor of my birthday. The cupcakes are delicious but they can easily run a person at least $3.25 each. However, the customer service is up to par each time and the cupcakes are actually delicious. Some of the flavors I selected for my most recent visit; carrotcake, summertime (lemon cupcake with whipped cream cheese topping and shredded coconut), cookies n cream,
