If you've ever had a dentist's finger in your mouth or a doctor's finger somewhere else, you may have wondered about the person behind the knuckle. Now's your opportunity to find out: what it takes to get into medical and dental school and what kind of antics they get up to when training; how they train; what sort of people doctors and dentists are; why they chose the career they do; what the perils and perks are of the job are; and whether they are laughing with us or at us. Check it out in Dr Ray Lowry's book. Ray Lowry started out as a comedy writer for television and radio. Running out of funny material he became a doctor and a dentist. Forty years later he has enough comedy to fill a book, entertain audiences on the after-dinner and comedy circuit and in his newspaper column. Dr Lowry is a truly holistic practitioner (mainly interested in holes) and he has often been up before the General Medical and Dental Councils (they are both late-sleepers). Find out what it is like to be doctor and dentist: the perils and the pleasures, the tears and the laughter. Lie down, open wide and let the laughter out. Anything else and you are in deep trouble.

This is a story of love, hate, lust, humor and longing in the time of war.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize “A masterwork . . . the novel astonishes with its inventiveness . . . it is nothing less than a grand comic fugue.”—The New York Times Book Review A Confederacy of Dunces is an American comic masterpiece. John Kennedy Toole's hero, one Ignatius J. Reilly, is "huge, obese, fractious, fastidious, a latter-day Gargantua, a Don Quixote of the French Quarter. His story bursts with wholly original characters, denizens of New Orleans' lower depths, incredibly true-to-life dialogue, and the zaniest series of high and low comic adventures" (Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times).

This is the extraordinary true tale of a middle-class, gay American's path to encounters with the Great Mystery that is God/dess/Self. The way to the Great Unknown was intricately intertwined with his humanity with all its foibles, and with human relationships. Therefore this story has to include those relationships, revealing ultimately how a one's personal identity and relationships become vehicles for enlightenment. This inspiring account of struggle, travel to exotic lands, suffering, and transcendence holds out hope for anyone who has ever felt outcaste, broken, or unworthy, demonstrating for our modern times that enlightenment lies within reach of us all.

Rebecca Eckler is a popular newspaper columnist who lives the fabulous life and gets paid to write about it. So when a tipsy romp with her fiancé on the night of their lavish engagement party leaves her unexpectedly expecting, she is utterly at a loss. How will a woman who loves nothing more than a night out on the town sipping cocktails with her fellow party girls survive the pregnant life? Knocked Up is the witty, engaging and refreshingly frank chronicle of a modern woman’s journey into motherhood. We follow Eckler from the first trimester (a.k.a. the longest three months of her life), through the “fat months” of the second trimester, on to the "even fatter months" of the third. Flipping the pages of this Bridget-Jones-style diary, we share in Eckler’ s discovery of prenatal vitamins and nursing bras, ultrasounds and obstetricians. And we experience her growing horror at the physical symptoms of pregnancy: all-day “morning” sickness, fatigue, varicose veins, and cravings. And the weight gain, oh the weight gain. Who knew the day would come when she could no longer put on her own socks? Along for the ride is a cast of characters as comical as any met in fiction. There’s the Sexy Young Intern, a Sophia Loren look-a-like with her skinny eyes set on Eckler’s job; the glamorous friends who continue to drink Manhattans, while Eckler sips Perrier; and the Cute Single Man who knows just when she needs a carton of ice cream or a game of Scrabble. And then there’s the fiancé, living in another city, who, thanks to the miracle of long-distance phone lines, appreciates better than anybody the highs and lows of the hormonal rollercoaster pregnant Eckler is on. Lighthearted, intimate, and very funny, Knocked Up is the diary of a modern mother-to-be determined not to let pregnancy and motherhood change her life. Not. One. Little. Bit.

Who would have thought that a regular hygiene appointment could inform you about oil pulling, grounding, organic fruits and vegetables, or grass-fed meat? What about bio-individuality, chi energy, ozone therapy, CRP levels, and proper digestion? This book shows you just that. Eliminating metals--especially Mercury--from your mouth, together with a detox program, results in amazing improvements in the health of gums and teeth. Learn how to fight stress--the great secret to combat inflammation and bleeding and to build a positive mind! "Because we are all unique, everyone's saliva is different--thick, ropy, or watery--their pH is different, the amount of calculus/tartar deposits is different. Differences depend on lifestyle, bio-individuality, stress, work environment, relationship status, and so on; therefore, no answer fits everyone, no diet fits everyone, and no cleaning fits everyone!"

Have you tried your luck on a dating app? There's a good chance you have, because these dating applications are becoming increasingly popular. Almost everyone has been, or knows someone who's been, on a dating app swiping their hearts and time away. Unfortunately, people are too embarrassed to share their experiences, confessions, and advice...until now. The Dating App Confessions is a collection of twelve short stories from people who've rolled the dice and experienced the essence of dating apps. A rabbit mask, drug cartel, wealthy tigress, kidnapper...the stories are bizarre, common, and based on real occurrences. These people share their experiences with you in hopes that you'll learn from them, or that you'll share their advice with your single friends. Better yet, send them a copy. Dating apps appear to be innocent, safe, trendy, and marketed as an effective avenue to find love; but the truth can be quite different. Some of these stories are funny, some sad, and some a bit frightening - but they're appropriate for young adults and older. It should be noted, these stories do not relate to any one dating app - the app names have been kept out of the stories. Also to be noted, this book isn't meant to be anti or pro dating app...they're simply stories, confessions, and advice based on real experiences. Enjoy, and if you decide to start, or continue, swiping...maybe you'll have a remarkable dating app confession of your own.
