![]() ![]() ![]() Or at least read, in this wide-ranging, upbeat collection of personal and revealing essays. ![]() Early readers love this book Dave Lieber of the Dallas Morning News described it as an extraordinarily fun read, and Stu Bykofsky of the Philadelphia Daily News says Mary Stobie is a gal you want to meet. Wherever she lives, for Stobie every day is an adventure (or misadventure), and every escapade a great excuse for a joke and even a life lesson or two. "e Settled,"e though, as readers will discover, isn't quite what Mary Stobie is about. Unexpected encounters with Hollywood A-listers like Warren Beatty and Clint Eastwood colored those years before she settled into the writing and family life back on the Colorado range. Stobie's surprising experiences include stints as a young rodeo champion and a Hollywood ingenue. Rocky Mountain writer Stobie terms her work a "e patchwork memoir."e Patchwork it is-breezy and wide-ranging personal essays and columns deftly woven into a funny and cohesive fabric. You Fall Off, You Get Back On by Mary Stobie, an unusual and just plain joyful memoir, is part Annie Oakley, part Erma Bombeck and 100% original. ![]() ![]() Towards the end of the speech, Henry tempers his emotional and vehement speech with a logically sound ultimatum that refers to historically similar occurrences of what happens when constituents avoid what Henry is warning them of. ![]() The way Henry dramatizes his speech by saying that death is preferable to subjugation sparks an emotional need to preserve freedom in the listener. His famous quote: “Give me liberty, or give me death!”, is a derivative of the intense emotional tactics he used in his speech. On top of employing the rampant courage and bravery native to the populous, Henry exploited the pathological need to remain free. In a society where truly fighting for what you believed in wasn’t unheard of, it was wise of Henry to utilize this inherent virtue present in the ethics of the American colonies. ![]() This value was capitalized by Patrick Henry when he called his peers to arms against their seemingly oppressive overlords. It can be assumed that the majority of the population of the thirteen colonies were raised under particularly tough conditions given the environment, helping them have the second-hand ability to adopt heavy responsibilities. ![]() ![]() At first there was only a little pilling a handful of looters who thought they could get away with stealing-they usually could-and soccer moms fighting over the last package of toilet paper at big box stores. It was like someone took the seams of the entire nation and started tugging. Government officials disappeared and with them, government aid. Six months after the blackout, they went dark too. ![]() They always know stuff like that, don’t they? I suppose it doesn’t really matter now. Except maybe some secret branch of the government.

As the only one with the ability to help, Nick is sent to protect Vivian. His talent, or as he puts it-his curse-along with his dark past makes him a recluse, but a brilliant investigator. Nick Sundridge has always been able to “see” things that others don’t, coping with disturbing dreams and visions. ![]() After shooting crime scene photos of a famous actress, the latest victim of the murderer the press has dubbed the “Dagger Killer,” Vivian notices eerie similarities to the crime scenes of previous victims-details that only another photographer would have noticed-details that put Vivian at the top of the killer’s target list. Although she is set on a career of transforming photography into a new art form, she knows her current work is what’s paying the bills.

Her videos are another thing that are all hers: She posts a few times a week, and each video requires hours of brainstorming, script-writing, editing and shooting. When asked her top tips for being a “bawse”, the first one came easy: She does her best to focus only on what’s in her own control-something she calls “playing Nintendo.” In the book she writes how much she loves playing video games, in part because she controls the outcome. In Lilly’s world, there are no escalators. ![]() That’s because success, happiness and everything else you want in life needs to be fought for-not wished for. “I tell you how I learned these things I answer the why and how.” (The back of the book issues a warning: “This book does NOT include hopeful thoughts, lucky charms, and cute quotes. “I didn’t want to write a fairy-tale book of abstract things you couldn’t apply to real life,” she said.
