It would be wonderful if a panic attack only showed up when you were comfortable at home, or nestled onto the doctor’s table awaiting your prescription. Even then they are scary as hell. Unfortunately, they are not that predictable. The dreaded panic attack can hit anywhere, and at any time. Given this, you need to know how to handle a panic attack when you are away from your comfort zone.
Say you are in the supermarket and a panic attack hits – what do you do? For many, they simply pack up and leave the supermarket. This is fine as a last resort, but it is far from a good solution. Some people would never get anything done because they have panic attacks several times a day. What are some alternatives?
One excellent idea is to go to the bathroom and sit in the stall. Practice slow and steady breathing and notice how your abdomen moves as you breathe. Controlling your breathing is a skill that takes a lot of time and effort. There are many wonderful websites and books on the subject. One that I highly recommend is my website Panic Attack Daily. This website is written towards helping those with panic recover, and give you excellent methods on how to treat it.
Visit Panic Attack Daily, and you will find many solutions for fighting panic attacks in all situations including this one.

Volcanoes are some of the most fascinating natural wonders in the world. It is no small wonder that students everywhere choose this molten wonder for their science project each year. Building a homemade volcano is actually quite simple, and does make a great science project when done correctly. Here is some quick easy steps to building a homemade volcano:
Supplies:
–Sand
–Small square sandbox or square plywood board
–Teaspoon of baking soda
–Four drops of red food coloring or dye
–Small plastic cup
–Vinegar
–Any accessories you can build to add to the effect (things like trees, a lake, or bushes, etc…)
The first thing to do for your homemade volcano science project is to pile the sand in the sandbox or on top of the plywood. If you are using a piece of plywood for the base, be sure to put up some type of borders to keep the sand in place. If you do not have sand, you may also use dirt or plaster. Sand is definitely the best option if available.
Next, you will want to dig out a hole in the center of the volcano to insert the plastic cup into. Take your water bottle and keep the sand wet while forming these things. It makes the sand easier to form. Make sure that you dig some ridges into the sides of the volcano for special effects. Also, dig trenches throughout the science project for the lava to run through.
The next step is to add the baking soda to the plastic cup within the volcano. Once you have done this, add three or four drops of red food coloring. This red food coloring will become molten red lava when you add the vinegar to the mix. The effect is spectacular.
At this point you are ready for the science project to come to life. As soon as you are ready for the eruption, go ahead and add the vinegar. The volcano will come bubbling to life, and you will have one heck of a science project. Red, flowing lava will work its way out of the volcano and down the sides through the trenches. Make absolutely certain that you take the time to fix up the project with miniature trees, bushes, and even some lakes. It truly adds to the realism of your homemade volcano science project.
Be sure to follow proper safety precautions when you build this homemade volcano. Do not set off the science project inside the house as it can certainly go faster than you planned. The last thing you want is molten lava all over your new carpet. Stick to the measurements shown for the ingredients as using more will cause larger eruptions. This is not a good thing unless you have planned for it. Make sure that children are fully supervised while completing this homemade science project. The ingredients are considered combustible and dangerous and should be supervised.
The brown recluse spider is one of only two truly dangerous spiders in the United States and one with which I have had some experience with. Being infested with them is an absolute nightmare for a homeowner. Fortunately, most brown recluse spider infestations can be eliminated or controlled with some hard work and attention to detail.
How would I know that I have a brown recluse spider infestation?
This seems like an silly question, but it truly is not. It is possible to have a brown recluse infestation and not realize it. That is, you do not realize it until it is to late and you get bitten by this dangerous spider.
To be infested, you need only have enough brown recluse spiders that they are breeding. Just a few spiders can reproduce enough to give you a problem. If you are seeing brown recluse spiders once a week or so, it is better to be on the safe side and take some precautions.
How do I know what a brown recluse spider looks like?
Brown recluse spiders are actually fairly hard to identify if you have not seen them before. Generally, the best way to tell is the violin shape that is on the spiders cephalothorax. For the layperson, this is the part of the spider that all the legs are attached to. It is fairly easy to recognize.
Also, a brown recluse has six eyes rather than the usual eight in most spiders. The color of a brown recluse can vary with region, but generally is a light tan to brown. The brown recluse is about the size of a quarter, including its legs.
I know I have a brown recluse infestation, but how do I get rid of them?
First, you want to identify how bad the infestation is. If you are seeing brown recluse spiders every day, then stop reading and call the exterminators. You are infested big time. I once saw a house that literally had brown recluse spiders in almost every corner. Not a place that you want to be.
Assuming your brown recluse infestation is a minor one, start with some glue traps. These can be found at the local hardware store, as well as many grocery stores. Place these glue traps along walls, under beds, behind furniture, in corners, and anywhere where the spiders can hide. Think like the spider and ask yourself where you might hide if you were a brown recluse spider.
These glue traps do work, especially if there are limited spiders in the area.
Next, you will want to remove any clutter from your home. Inside, outside, and under your home, eliminate any places for the brown recluse spider to hide. Wood piles close to the house are a particularly bad idea. The black widow spider is fond of woodpiles as well. Move them away from your home.
Eliminate as much clutter inside your home as possible. If you provide hiding places, you are making the infestation worse without even realizing it. Brown recluse spiders do not like to encounter humans, cats, or dogs. They do not want to be seen. Take away the spider’s hiding places.
Spider proof all of your storage. Plastic containers with lids cost a bit more, but it is much better than having a box full of spiders breeding. Spend the money, and you will eliminate a favorite hiding place of the brown recluse spider.
Finally, you will want to walk the outer edges of your home. Do you have any cracks, crevices, or holes that the spider can use to get in the house? Most homes do, and taking the time to seal these areas will help immensely. Brown recluse infestations begin with an entrance of some kind into a home. Eliminate those entryways.
Eradicating a brown recluse infestation is not as difficult as it might seem if you take the time to think like the spider. Take away the spider’s comfort, and you will eliminate the pest.
Snakes are often feared, hated, and randomly killed in the world. Sometimes, when a deadly snake takes up residence in an area where people are it is necessary to kill snakes. Most often, however, snakes are killed due to the fact that they are snakes. Here are five reasons to think twice about killing that random non-venomous snake around the house.
Reason To Love Snakes Number One
Snakes control the vermin population. Without snakes, we would be overwhelmed by rats, mice, and other disease ridden pests. Snakes eat an incredible number of vermin and are largely doing you a huge favor. What is worse? A snake that can not harm you or rats and mice that reproduce faster than you can kill them? Think about it.
Reason To Love Snakes Number Two
Snakes are largely shy and will do everything in their power to avoid human contact. If you get bit by a snake, it is likely because you did something silly. Sometimes people are bitten by accident, but usually it is because they messed with the snake.
Reason To Love Snakes Number Three
Snakes are one of the most important parts of the food chain. Not only do they keep vermin in check, but the vermin keep other species in check as well. This continues right down the line to the insects. Insect infestations are also quite possible if you eliminate snakes because it has a trickle down effect. Do not mess with nature and the food chain.
Reason To Love Snakes Number Four
Many non-venomous snakes eat the venomous snakes. By killing a snake that can not harm you, you may be opening the door to other species of snakes that can.
Reason To Love Snakes Number Five
If you own a garden, snakes keep your garden pest free. Rabbits, squirrels, and other mammals love to munch on your vegetables, and snakes like to munch on the mammals. Keep that built in natural exterminator!
Generally, you have nothing to fear from snakes. This is especially true if you live in the United States. Only four species of snakes are dangerous in The United States. They are the copperhead, the rattlesnake (several species) the cottonmouth, and the coral snake.
Non-venomous snakes are harmless and will not bite you unless you surprise them or handle them. Generally, these snakes are very helpful to have around your yard and they are filling a need for the natural order of things in nature. Think twice before killing that non-venomous snake next time!
The position of wide receiver is one of those positions where it seems that it is feast or famine. Most NFL teams carry one great one, and then a bunch of middle of the road guys. Occasionally a team will be blessed with more than one great receiver. The Colts, Patriots and Steelers come to mind. That said, I thought I might look at the top NFL receivers in the game today.
Randy Moss – Moss is the quintessential wide receiver with a long body and reach and hands that catch everything it seems. He is also blessed with enough speed to burn most every corner in the NFL. His catches have been delighting fans for over a decade, and he is not going anywhere soon. The Patriots also have Wes Welker, who some argue is as important to the team as Moss. Small and speedy, he is a slot type receiver that also doubles as a punt returner.
Andre Johnson – Johnson is widely considered the best in the game, at least for this season. He is also big and rangy and makes catches that simply should not be made. The guy is so consistent that sometimes he gets overlooked. He is a phenomenal athlete.
Reggie Wayne – Wayne is yet another receiver that gets overlooked. The guy produces every single year, and is among the leaders every year in all categories. Having Peyton Manning throwing the ball helps too.
Steve Smith – The Mighty Mite is one tough guy. He is among the most dangerous players after the catch, and has been a Carolina Panther mainstay for many years. Somehow, he finds a way to bring in the catches that most receivers do not. The guy sells NFL Tickets week in and week out in Carolina.
Larry Fitzgerald – Fitz is the master receiver of the NFL. One can only imagine what his numbers will look like when all is said and done. He catches them high, low and in between. His jump balls are a signature play for the Arizona Cardinals, and he looms as the heir apparent to Moss when he is gone.
It was 1979, and my whole world was upside down. My Mother, who had always been the epitome of domestic bliss, was now going out on the weekends with a mystery man. It wasn’t that I minded. My parents’ final years together were hell on earth, and I was happy that my Mom was having some fun. Mom was clearly letting loose and had readily embraced the late 70’s lifestyle. Bell bottoms, tight t-shirts, parties on the weekends, and drinking beer had replaced my biological father’s standards; supper on the table at six, refilling his drinks as needed, and complete submission to his wants and needs.
She clearly was very concerned about telling us about her new boyfriend. I already knew his name was Pat, short for Patrick. I knew that he had two sons, one of which was my own age. I knew that my sister despised him, even though she had never even seen him, and he wasn’t her Daddy.
As I sat at our kitchen table there on Worth Street, eating a humongous bowl of Cookie Crisp cereal, my ten year old mind contemplated the news she was about to share. Cookie Crisp cereal usually meant big news in our household. No way did we ever get the king of sugar cereals unless Mom was buttering us up about something.
“Son, I need to talk to you about something,” Mom casually said.
As I wiped a huge drop of chocolate milk from my chin, I looked up at her, and smiled. “Sure Mom, go ahead.”
“You know that me and your father have been apart now for awhile, and your Momma gets lonely sometimes.”
“Mom, if you want to hang out more, all you had to do was say so.”
“Honey, that isn’t what I mean. She stammered over some words that I am sure I didn’t understand nor did I much care, as long as I could keep eating my cereal. I have started seeing someone, and we are really enjoying each other. He is a man.”
“Cool! When are you gonna let me meet him?” (I had seen enough episodes of the Brady Bunch to understand what was going on.)
“Are you sure you aren’t upset about it? I mean do you have any questions?” my mother stammered. After calmly assuring her that I was fine, and diving back into my cereal, she seemed to realize that she had passed the test. With me……
My mom knew that passing the test with my sister, Tonya, would be another matter altogether. Tonya was 13 years old, and much wiser about the world and such. She also had been babysitting me while Mom went out with Pat on the weekends, and to her, that was horrific. Not because of me, but because she still harbored hopes of my Mom going back to my Dad. Sissy, as she was so often called, had one hell of a temper. Even at that age, she would quickly speak her mind. She was, and still is to a large degree, Daddy’s girl. This was going to be hard.
Thankfully, I wasn’t around for the conversation between the two of them. I know from the tension between them that it wasn’t smoothed over with cereal. My sister had plans to move in with my Father anyway, and I think she fell back on that fact mentally. I know she did verbally.
It was a Friday afternoon, and my buddy, Jerry Hedrick (otherwise known as Doodle) was over at my house. We were in the backyard, and doing our best Starsky and Hutch imitations as we so often did back then. It was all kind of hilarious, as Doodle was always Starsky, and I was always Hutch. It made no matter to us that Starsky had black hair, and Doodle had blonde. In spite of my striking jet black mane, Doodle explained that he drove better so he had to be Starsky. It made sense to me, as I preferred blonde headed Hutch anyway, because he fought better. No matter that the Cobra Hot Rod was imaginary and any kind of driver would do…
“Rodney! Tell Doodle he needs to run on home now! I need you to come inside!”, my mother wailed from atop our back porch. Why was it, when you were really small, parents would always ask you to tell your friends stuff, even though they were right there for the telling? I always wondered about that.
As I walked in the back door, my Mom was by the sink doing the dishes, and dancing. Dancing? My Mom was dancing? What in the name of all that was holy was going on? Interrupting her moment of bliss, I asked, “Why did Doodle have to go home? We were just about to catch the bad guys, Mom.”
“Well, you have another friend coming over tonight, my Mom sassed back at me with a sheepish grin all over her face. Pat is coming over tonight to meet you and Tonya….and he is bringing his son, Todd. He is your age, you know.”
I don’t know why the reality of it all didn’t hit me until then, but it did. I remember that I felt two emotions course through me simultaneously. I felt the need to protect my Mother, and I couldn’t wait to meet my new friend. They fought childishly in my brain for control, and quickly the excitement of a new friend won out.
“When will they be here?”
“Around six, so get washed up. We might be going out. I want you to be on your best behavior young man, and I mean it!”
Her words trailed off in the distance as I was already in my room, and preparing. A new friend was coming to see me, and I had to be sure that my palace was ready. Keep in mind that the late 70’s was all about two things. Disco and Kiss. You could not like them both, though many did secretly. (Myself being one of them) Out in the open, and in my heart of hearts, I loved Kiss! I had all of there albums to date, and virtually every poster that I knew existed. They covered every wall of my powder blue room, except of course, the one poster that was the must have of the time…..Farrah Fawcett in that red bathing suit. It was famous, and I had one. Dead center, right above my bed so that if you were in bed on your back, she was smiling down at you. I remember the setup in my room was pretty awesome for a kid. It looked fairly grown up to a fellow 10 year old. I had a large black corner daybed, that was kind of like another bed, and adult sized dresser drawers. I had a nice bed, with a sliding compartment for a headboard. Of course, given the year, I had the groovy inch long shag carpet, that was a mix of grey, blue, and some color I haven’t been able to ascertain to this day.
As I perused the room, and looked around, the only thing that didn’t fit in was my batman curtains and bedspread. Somehow, they really put a Romper Room snag in my plan to look cool. This was the first time meeting this dude, and he had to see I was cool. I was hip. I was down with the whole scene in suburban America. I explained all of this to my Mom, and somehow she convinced me that changing my draperies and bedspread wasn’t going to happen in the next hour before they got there. Half-heartedly moping back to the room, I put my newest Kiss album onto my little red record player, and waited nervously.
My sister had asked to spend the night with her best friend Charla, and had already left when I realized that it was well past six that night. I secretly sighed in relief to myself, as I knew she would use Pat’s being late as yet another reason not to like him. Truth was, Pat had called Mom to tell her he was running behind, because he had worked late.
I remember sitting at the huge bay window in our living room, and seeing his little orange Vega drive up into our driveway. Out of the driver’s side door stepped a seemingly huge man, made even larger by the fact that his afro was a foot high. He had on big round amber sunglasses, and was sporting what looked to be an orange mustache to match his afro. Everything seemed larger than life about him, and completely the opposite of my Father. I didn’t even notice the pudgy little boy walking behind him right away as I was so focused on the white Shaft walking to the front door to see my Mom. I went to my bedroom so as to not look overanxious..
I heard the knock at the door, and my Mom went over and opened it. I heard a quick kiss from the hallway that felt really strange to me. My Mom called for me and I strode confidently to the living room, knees shaking underneath me. I didn’t want him to see I was afraid of him, and to his credit, he didn’t notice it outwardly. I remember walking up to him, and shaking his hand, and it being so large. It seemed as though it was 10 times bigger than mine. Looking up at this mountain of a man, I expected to see a hard face. All I really saw was the kindest eyes I had ever seen, and a wonderful feeling of security that was totally out of place in my world and at that time. Out of place or not, I felt it just the same. Little did I know, that I had a prophetic moment, and that this man would be the single most influential person of my lifetime. I just saw Shaft. And I liked him.
Todd peeked around his Dad’s side and for the first time I relaxed for a moment. While I was a tall wiry 10 year old, my new friend was short and well, fat. He had chubby cheeks that were bright red, and pale skin that made them seem that much brighter. For whatever reason, his appearance put me at ease. I don’t really know what I was expecting, though it surely wasn’t the guy in front of me.
Me and Todd shot off towards my bedroom, instantly forgetting the strange atmosphere that the meeting originally inspired. Coming down the hall, I remember feeling like the cool one, and I liked that. I had never got to be the “cool” one before.
As my door swung open, and my majestic room came into view, I heard Todd yell “Right on! You like Kiss too? They are the coolest band in the world! I have a ton of posters too!” Just as I had planned, “God of Thunder” was just starting to play on my record player. My master plan was going perfectly, as he was jamming! We played air guitar for the first hour or so of the visit, and during that hour, we became friends. Give two boys an air guitar, Kiss, and suddenly bonding is inevitable. It was as though we had been friends for years, not minutes, and neither of us cared what was happening outside that room.
Have you ever seen Gene Simmons act during his performance of “God of Thunder?” Basically, he would strut around the stage in his demon costume, spitting blood and fire, all while crouched like some oversized lizard. The thigh high boots would add to the illusion, and you would swear he was of another planet. Well, Todd and I was certain that we could imitate him to perfection, and decided more of the world should see this. Plus it was good for laughs we figured. We cranked up the stereo, (which on my little record player was surprisingly loud) and got into our poses.
I am certain I looked unbelievably silly, crouched down like a lizard, while sporting the skinniest legs ever seen. My legs were the target of my families’ most infamous nickname. “Birdlegs”. So here I was, with my butt nearly touching the floor, my bony knees sticking up in the air, all while flicking my tongue out, and walking like this giant lizard. Todd was right behind me, coming down the hallway decidedly higher off the ground, but trying just the same. We both were walking in giant exaggerated steps so as to maximize the lizard effect, and looked as ignorant as two little boys could.
When we reached the living room, my Mom and Pat was sitting on the couch facing the hall and looked up completely confused. When they saw us jamming on the guitars, and acting the fool, they busted up laughing, and the night was relaxed from then on. Amazing how mixing birdlegs, Gene Simmons, giant imaginary lizards, and air guitars can lighten any situation, isn’t it?
After recovering from our silliness, we all piled into my Mom’s Pinto, and headed off to get ice cream. Sitting in the ice cream shop, and laughing with everyone, I oddly felt a kinship with everyone. My Mom, Pat, Todd, and Me. I knew that day, that we would all be together, and be happy. I still don’t know how I knew, but I did.
Make it shine men!
What really makes this incredible is that she was able to do this without me knowing it. I woke up one day and realized that she has me doing stuff I never did before…even when I was single.
After giving it some thought, I have found a number of things she did to train me, again without my knowledge. Here are some of the highlights so that you might train your man as well. (Sorry guys)
1. She Learned to Negotiate - While negotiation is supposed to be my strong point, my wife is the true master. Giving me a choice between cleaning the dishes and throwing in a load of laundry is sure to get results. I hate the dishes, and figure that if I do the laundry right away she will drop the whole dishes request. Problem is, I never counted on doing the laundry. How did that happen?
2. She Plays My Ego -“Oh Honey, nobody scrubs the toilet like you do” she says to me. Give me a break, girl. Then again, it does seem to work as I clean the toilet with regularity.
3. She Will Let It Accumulate -When the kitty box begins to smell so bad that the neighbors are complaining, I realize that she is not going to give in and do my job for me. I only let it get so bad. Really.
4. The Old Forgotten Method -My wife and I have a non-traditional set up. She works outside the house and I work from home as a writer, so she uses that to her full advantage. (much like I did when she was a housewife and I worked outside the home) She will call me from work and inform me that company is coming over, and that she “forgot” to clean up the living room or whatever. Amazingly, the “company” never shows up and I just got played.
5. She Brings the Pain -Though it is not her natural reaction, she will get a little ticked if I blow it off too long. When in doubt, you can always play the anger card. I am such a wuss I give in at the slightest hint of anger. I hate the fight and would rather just clean. This one is the only one that just is not funny. This one seems to always come during the football game.
Getting your man to clean the house is actually rather simple, Ladies. You simply have to do what we do. Only do it better. Good luck!
Spending time together when a little girl is a toddler is one of the most important things that we do as fathers, but sometimes it can be a bit confusing. Little girls love different things than little boys, and fathers often have trouble adjusting. The key is to take off the “man gloves” and dive into the little girl’s world. Here are five great father and daughter toddler activities to grow your relationship to new heights:
1. Get out the Tea Set – Alright Dad, it is time to man up. Every father worth his salt in parenthood has to sit down to the occasional cup of tea with his little princess. I promise, you will not lose even a single man point doing so, but you just might learn some manners.
2. Go to a Game – You drank tea, and now have earned to the right to introduce your little girl to baseball. You will be surprised at just how much she might like it, so prepare yourself. Some little girls like the ball game more than their toddler male counterparts. Go grab a hot dog and take your daughter to the ball game.
3. Go to a Great Movie – Going to the movies is a hit, regardless of how old you are or what sex you are. Your little girl will feel extra special sitting next to Daddy in the great big movie theater. Note: Enjoy this while you can because this will not last long. When they hit middle school you are no longer wanted at the movie theater.
4. Take your Little Girl To Church – Church is one of the greatest places on Earth to grow closer to your children, and your little girl is no exception. Go together and take plenty of time to talk about the sermon and what it means. This time, let her stay with you in the big pews rather than going to the nursery. She will adore you for it and begin her walk with Jesus as well.
5. Go to a Concert. Now this is not just any concert you need to find, Dad. You need to go ahead and get those tickets to Miley Cyrus, Barney or whomever she is into at the time. Little girls want to share this stuff at this age, so you should enjoy it while you can. There will come a time when you will look back and wish you had, so make sure you hold on tight now.
Building a special relationship with your daughter does not have to mean losing your manhood. As a matter of fact, I find the opposite to be true – the more I draw close to my little girls, the more I begin to see the value in tea parties, Ms. Cyrus and especially my manhood. Real men drink tea!
Private clients are the key to growing as an article writer. Without them, we are left to our own devices, and the various websites out there that accept submissions and pay little in return. While this type of freelance work can be fruitful and certainly worth your while, private clients can get you over the hump much quicker.
When you are writing for a private client, the money is usually much better for one. You are able to set your own prices, and as long as you are worth the money you are asking, that is not a problem most of the time. You will know what you are worth over time. Keep in mind that you are somewhat at the mercy of the economy as well.
So, how do you actually get those private clients, anyway?
One way is to start a blog or website and advertise your services. No better way to sell your talents than to show off your skills, right?
Another way is through word of mouth. Private clients are always on the lookout for qualified article writers that understand web writing and how to drive traffic with content.
You can always try the more direct approach and actually hunt them down. This can be done by hanging around forums such as digital point, and get a freelancer.
One of the best resources I have found on the web for paying writing jobs both online and in print is Accentuate services writer forum. The owner of this forum is a friend, and she is among the best at finding great work for her forums.
All of these things can get you on the road to having private clients. You need not sit on your hands and settle for anything less. Get out there and give your best, and you will find that you are on the way to a great career.
