You're Gonna Have Trouble

 

–– You’re Gonna Have Trouble –– 

Volume #6 –– in the Chance "Cash" Register Working Stiff Series . . .

I fixed it so I'd get fired. Don't mean it didn't hurt any less. The crazy schedule they had me on driving the hotel van (picking up flight crews 6-days a week), left no time for the one thing that mattered: the writing. So I got pink-slipped; kicked to the curb, as they say. One problem solved––that created another: how to earn money to buy groceries, put gas in the used bucket, pay bills.

So it starts: another series of blue-collar, back-breaking/soul-crushing gigs: at a plant nursery, meat-packing facility, warehouse, striping company as jackhammer operator and ditch-digger. We do what we gotta. It's like this for the average person. No biggie. Nothing to it but to do it. Folks in other countries might think we're all a bunch of millionaires here in the grand and prosperous US of A. Guess what, peeps? Here's the truth. We're toilers. Most of us.

Some of us working stiffs, like me, might even be into the arts: appreciate the great painters, awesome writers and jazz & blues artists. What keeps us going. But yes, we're 9-to-5-ers. Do it to get by. My favorite books have always been Tom Kromer's Waiting for Nothing, Jack Black's Nobody Wins, Bukowski's Post Office, George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London, Jack London's Martin Eden; and of course Knut Hamsun's unforgettable Hunger. This is my way of honoring those great scribes who wrote tomes about stuff that actually matters. K.A.

Butterflies and Paratroopers Are Not Born with Wings

        

Butterflies and Paratroopers

Are Not Born with Wings

What’s it about? It’s a book for women warriors. Those who refuse to give up on getting clean, sober, abstinent, and free.

This is not a regurgitated recovery book. First, it’s funny. Second, it’s one-of-a-kind. Third, it’s not a self-help book. It’s an operator’s manual for alcoholics, Al-Anon, drug addicts, codependents, overeaters, and whoever else has an addictive personality with a smidge of OCD or a dusting of ADHD.

With an iron fist in a velvet glove, Butterflies and Paratroopers is written with wit and sarcasm, Milo lays out the clear-cut simple directions to operate the most complex, out-of-warranty, prone to breakdown piece of equipment ever made—that’s you. “We used to think one way, and now we think another.”

Using amusing “girl snippets” and “recovery war stories”, Milo connects real life trials, tribulations, pandemonium and predicaments with spirituality, sobriety, sanity, and serenity. You’ll quickly see that twelve-step recovery programs will take anyone who walks through the door, and have a wrench to fit any nut that does.

With humor and encouragement Milo describes a program of action, design for living, and process of recovery that seems to work with people like us. And who are people like us? We are the ones who have tried everything else.

About the Author

Milo has more than thirty-three years of continuous sobriety. He received a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from the University of New Hampshire and a Certificate of Graduate Studies from Harvard. He completed the Addiction Counselor Education Program at Boston University. Now as a retired, old, tired, bald, grumpy, and dumpy guy he shuffles between New Hampshire and Texas with his Irish Setter Madaline.

Mindreader:

The New Science of Deciphering What People Really Think, What They Really Want, and Who They Really Are

Tired of guessing what they’re really thinking? Read people in every situation—in person, on a screen, or in writing—using the new science of psycholinguistics, from a New York Times bestselling author and consultant to the FBI, CIA, and NSA. 

  

“A treasure trove of concepts, ideas, and tools that we can all master to be safer and happier. It’s a must-read!”—Joe Navarro, author of Dangerous Personalities 

What did your boss mean in that email? Is your mechanic stretching the truth? Whether you’re engaged in a casual conversation or a high-stakes negotiation, it’s critical to understand the subtext of a situation. But with so much interaction happening on screens—via email, texts, or video chat—we are losing the ability to interpret expressions and cues. Furthermore, since many are now savvy about the meaning of body language, it’s become even harder to discern someone’s true thoughts or intentions.

A leading lie-detection expert who instructs the FBI and other security agencies, noted psychotherapist David Lieberman, PhD, takes “people reading” to a whole new level. Drawing on the latest research in psycholinguistics—the cues embedded in spoken and written speech—he shows you how to apply his cutting-edge methods to countless everyday situations, including: 

• Detecting the messaging behind passive language, personal or impersonal descriptions, and level of detail.

• Determining whether someone’s account of any incident is the truth or a work of fiction.

• Finding out whether a potential hire, dating app match, or new babysitter is trustworthy or hiding something.

 

Nobody wants to be played a fool. Mindreader will help us identify who can be trusted, and who may be out to get us.
