About this deal

Prompt 19 by Keeley Schroder. What’s something you find funny, but others around you fail to see the humour? I believe that this book would really benefit young girls. As Angie talks about love, life, mental health and various social situations, knowing that someone has been through similar things before could be really helpful for young women. With no holds barred – just as you’d expect – Angie talks about her challenges with mental health and body image; her family and friends; what has and hasn’t worked in her relationships, and what she has learned – the hard way – about life. There are plenty of laughs, and some tears, and always plenty of heart.’ Below are the people taking part in the writing challenge set by Keeley Schroder; please show their writing some love; they are all wonderful people.

The cast is crazy good in this movie. So many big names and they are all great. The performance I enjoyed the most was from a preteen Joaquin Phoenix, credited as Leaf Phoenix. He plays Garry, a kid who is emotionally distant from his mother and enraged at his father for leaving him and not caring about him. Phoenix shows the power that he would go on to display for years at such a young age in a scene where he decides he wants to live with his father for awhile. When he makes the call and is disappointed by the answer, Phoenix gives an emotional and powerful side to a character that for the first part of the movie just said Bye and left the room. This was such a great insight into Angie’s life, showing a greatly different side to her than we’ve seen on television. Well written in a way that Angie’s voice still carries through, I just wish that it had managed to go into a bit more depth on certain issues. However I fully understand why this might not have been the case ❤️. Easy to read and perfect to get you through isolation!Book Review** Thank you to @hachetteaus for providing us a review copy of If You Don’t Laugh You’ll Cry by @angiekent_ . Angie's book deserves to be handed out to teenage girls during health class as she gives practical lessons on love, life, mental health, body issues, dogs and more. This book could be really helpful for young women.

Now, for the ‘smirk that could cut the rind off a stilton cheese…’ I am an English student and this phrase thoroughly puzzled and bemused. Maybe I need to be a better cheese expert to fully comprehend it. Does it mean I have sharp teeth? Maybe a cheesy grin? It is awfully specific, isn’t it? I am fascinated he capitalised ‘Stilton’: it is clearly a very important cheese to him. I wonder if the ‘ smell’ of ‘a budding modelling career’ is of stilton cheese? Steve & I loved it & even though we are politically diametrically opposed (as we are with many things… I’ll let you try to work out which way each of us leans!) , we both found it hilarious. I’m sure we all need a night of laughter after a long week - what better than a hilarious show & a drink on your Friday evening!

A step forward for occupational folklife studies. . . . This work is a useful source for those wanting to expand their understandings of occupational culture, for scholars who want to understand the tensions between those who guard and those who are guarded, and for people seeking to incorporate more personal and localized context into their criminology and sociology research.”

Speaking up and fighting against PSH and sexual assault is not a trend. It is an incredibly taxing thing for many survivors to do. In a survey by UN Women, 96% of respondents did not report incidents despite 97% experiencing PSH. Yet, using our voices to share our experiences gives us a sense of solidarity. When I see other people share their experiences, I know I am not alone and it gives me the courage to say what women experience daily is not okay. In turn, I have so many survivors message me saying that they have been encouraged to speak out.

At the moment they have May Laugh Fest on, so for the whole month of May there’s an exciting line-up of comedy shows like ‘Improv Magic,’ ‘A Bard’s Tale’ and ‘Instant Broadway.’ The best thing about Improv is how every show is different & delightfully surprising. As an individual, I can only really take care of my responsibilities; to myself, to my wife and daughters, family and friends, neighbors and community. And while I empathize deeply for the families hurt by gun violence, I confess I have only a vague idea of what a solution might look like. Unfortunately, I am suspicious of anyone peddling simplified solutions and fixes. The problem is not simple. But less vague is a feeling that someone, somewhere, is not doing their job. America is fascinated by prisons and prison culture, but few Americans understand what it is like to work in corrections. Claire Schmidt, whose extended family includes three generations of Wisconsin prison workers, introduces readers to penitentiary officers and staff as they share stories, debate the role of corrections in American racial politics and social justice, and talk about the important function of humor in their jobs.

I was just riding a filly and getting her cantering on the gallops when three pigeons flew out of the bushes. The other two lads behind me stayed on their horses, but my filly darted and I went out to the right and landed on my ankle funny," she said. Synopsis: Australia's reality-show sweetheart Angie Kent gives her wise, witty and unique views on life, love and the things that matter from either side of the TV screen. It’s not being first to market or being the most innovative, cutting-edge technology out there. It’s not even vision, execution or culture. It’s having a strong leadership team. It has everything to do with the specific people heading the major functions of the business.

What to know

She also missed out on a winner when Menelaus – one of rides she was booked for at Thirsk on Monday – landed the 1m4f handicap. My mother died in 2005 at the age of 76. I think she wouldhave found a new one-liner or two worth repeating over the last 10 years. The internet would not have been “ her cup of tea,” but I know she would have been deeply upset by Dallas, and she would have likely written a letter to her congressman because “ the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” My mother held her politics close to the vest (Democrat), and often summed up her position as “ you read your newspaper and I’ll read mine” or “ if I wanted your opinion I’d give it to you” if there was a disagreement afoot. I don’t think she would have been “partial” to either Trump or Clinton, but would have voted. And I do think she would have liked John Oliver, probably even more than I do. I think they both share a sense of humor and a do-your-job sensibility. Our desire is to not to offer a fix, because that would be foolish, because as we all know, it’s complicated. Only the weight and scrutiny of the democratic process and a free and vigilant press can even attempt to reach for a solution. And we don't use the term solution as an endpoint because it is more reasonable and optimistic to believe problems will arise faster than the fixes. Imagine what the Genomic Revolution will mean for the future of healthcare and you should see there is no reasonable way to predict and solve for the unknowns.
