However meekly and humbly, we will attempt to follow in “Last Week Tonight's” formula in today’s Early Look. We start our own businesses because we love it. Passion is key – or else we wouldn’t be able to keep up with the demands of being a business owner, but what else do we need to ensure the success of our business? As mourners gather in Dallas for the funerals of police officers shot and killed by Micah Johnson today, there is a familiar sense that someone, somewhere, is not doing their job. That familiar feeling isn’t restricted to guns and violence. It can be felt across the civic spectrum, from education, college debt, healthcare, trade, employment and growth.

Even though there seems to be a consensus in the medical & scientific community that there is not yet enough research data to validate what we believe are the benefits of alkaline water, it still tastes great & water in any form is good for you!CryptoCabbie is however correct in his remark about ‘Poor little Eva Carroll’ — I am in fact quite small. The reason ‘I deemed’ the harassment to have been directed towards me was because the perpetrator looked up and down my body as though he was mentally undressing me as he said it. Everyone knows that look- the look which makes your hair stand on end and makes you feel as though your legs will give way beneath you. Why this troll insists on placing ‘sexual’ in quotation marks is beyond me —the man shouted that he would ‘like to have a go on that,’ and I am pretty sure he wasn’t talking about the teacup ride at the fair. I started this week off with a full day ‘cram’ of university work.... Seems that even at the ripe age of 51, I have not learned my lesson about leaving it to the last minute.

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.’ 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. 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.

My mother had the habit of using recycling aphorisms in her daily conversations. “ Let’s send that up the flagpole and see who salutes,”“ if it was a snake it would have bitten you,” and “ that bed won’t make itself” were the few I heard most often growing up. But she used them to also dispense life lessons like routinely telling me to find work “ I didn’t mind getting out of bed for in the morning” and to make sure “ my income exceeded my outgo.” The movie is oddly touching because it is so hilarious. A few times I had to stop the movie because I was laughing so hard. A lot of the humor comes from just how true the subject matter is. Ron Howard does a great job adding humor to some of the situations. I was very surprised by just how good this movie was. I expected just another Steve Martin vehicle, but this was much, much more then that. Joanna Mason is facing another frustrating spell on the sidelines after she suffered a leg injury on Monday in a freak gallops incident involving pigeons. Prompt 19 by Keeley Schroder. What’s something you find funny, but others around you fail to see the humour? 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!
