| 0ab75d1 | Don't try to boggle , Mister . This is . You are the strangest thing in town. | strange-creature talking-animals talking-cat | Phil Foglio | |
| 85c04be | Wal-Mart can't seem to grasp an essential fact: in 2006, the company has exactly the reputation it has earned. No, we don't give the company adequate credit for low prices. But the broken covenant Sam Walton had with how to treat store employees, the relentless pressure that hollows out companies and dilutes the quality of their products, the bullying of suppliers and communities, the corrosive secrecy, the way Wal-Mart has changed our own .. | wal-mart | Charles Fishman | |
| aa696b5 | We used to get in some terrific fights. You have to be just as tough as they are. You can't let them get by with anything because they are going to take care of themselves, and your job is to take care of the customer. I'd threaten Procter & Gamble with not carrying their merchandise, and they'd say, 'Oh, you can't get by without carrying our merchandise.' And I'd say, 'You watch me put it on a side counter, and I'll put Colgate on the endc.. | Sam Walton | ||
| a2b667b | The small stores were just destined to disappear, at least in the numbers they once existed, because the whole thing is driven by the customers, who are free to choose where to shop. | Sam Walton | ||
| 23cfa19 | Two things about Sam Walton distinguish him from almost everyone else I know. First, he gets up every day bound and determined to improve something. Second, he is less afraid of being wrong than anyone I've ever known. And once he sees he's wrong, he just shakes it off and heads in another direction. | Sam Walton | ||
| c2edcb9 | I guess his vindication had to be the day in 1989 when he walked into a Kmart in Illinois and found that they had installed people greeters at their front doors. | Sam Walton | ||
| 1184d5f | If American business is going to prevail, and be competitive, we're going to have to get accustomed to the idea that business conditions change, and that survivors have to adapt to those changing conditions. Business is a competitive endeavor, and job security lasts only as long as the customer is satisfied. Nobody owes anybody else a living. | Sam Walton | ||
| 5298e81 | I still can't believe it was news that I get my hair cut at the barbershop. Where else would I get it cut? Why do I drive a pickup truck? What am I supposed to haul my dogs around in, a Rolls-Royce? Nowadays, | Sam Walton | ||
| ea6a2fe | With cold hands he massaged her right foot, his fingertips digging into all the right places to make her groan. "Feel good?" he asked. "You can't imagine. You have until midnight to stop." He chuckled. "Why midnight?" "Because from then until daylight you can work on the other foot." | small-town-romance western-romance | Carolyn Brown | |
| ee5b5e9 | Darlin', old don't mean dead. | small-town-romance western-romance | Carolyn Brown | |
| 98e0290 | Getting close to a woman, no matter if it's real or not, can backfire. | small-town-romance western-romance | Carolyn Brown | |
| 8d336f0 | Don't suppose you'd want to stay long enough to scrub my back for me, would you?" Lizzy might have had a wonderful experience when she rose up from the bathwater, but it damn sure hadn't set her free enough to do what Toby asked. She shook her head and smiled. "This is not a real relationship, darlin'." "I'd be willin' to turn it into a real one for a good woman to give me a bath." His eyes glittered." | small-town-romance western-romance | Carolyn Brown | |
| 382c8c9 | Dating and getting to really know a woman is a different game. Kind of like the difference in Monopoly and Texas Hold 'Em. | small-town-romance western-romance | Carolyn Brown | |
| 4840518 | And where are you going tonight?" Katy asked. "Cinderella and I are going to the ball. If she loses a glass slipper, I will bring it by tomorrow." He smiled." | small-town-romance western-romance | Carolyn Brown | |
| 7fc9c91 | You like legs?" she asked. "On you, yes. On a chicken, I prefer wings and breasts." She picked up both legs with her fingers. "Then we are going to get along just fine." | small-town-romance western-romance | Carolyn Brown | |
| ecce67b | A match made in heaven?" He chuckled. "Probably not in heaven but right now you can take me there and we'll check it out." She smiled." | small-town-romance western-romance | Carolyn Brown | |
| 74c4862 | Oh. My. God." he murmured as it all ended in a crescendo complete with beautiful sparks and all the bells and whistles of fantastic makeup sex. Five full minutes later he propped up on a an elbow and kissed the tip of her nose. "Can we fight again tomorrow?" She smiled up at him. "I was thinking of starting an argument right now." | small-town-romance western-romance | Carolyn Brown | |
| cd08c02 | You know what they say about angels?" she asked. "That they have wings and a halo?" "No, that they are just wild women who've had the hell screwed out of them," she said with another giggle." | small-town-romance western-romance | Carolyn Brown | |
| c82662b | Oh, hush! You've already said you aren't the settling type. You can't have wings and roots both, cowboy. | small-town-romance western-romance | Carolyn Brown | |
| 875e55f | So what's your secret?" Jed asked. "There's two secrets, son. One is to love your woman, not with your whole heart but with your soul. If you got an inklin' that you aren't finished chasin' skirts, then you ain't ready to settle down anyway. The other is to respect your woman." Everett poured coffee from the thermos into his cup. "That's different from loving her. That means you don't belittle her, not in front of other people or in private.. | Carolyn Brown | ||
| 7832cde | Will you go on a date with me Friday night? A real date, not a pretend one? I'll probably be so clumsy that you won't go out with me a second time, but please say yes. | small-town-romance western-romance | Carolyn Brown | |
| 339a109 | I stabbed him," Lizzy said bluntly. "That's how he got that scar." "Why? I'm sorry. That's personal. I shouldn't ask that." She blushed. "It's okay." Lizzy laid a hand on the woman's arm. "I was mad at a woman for flirting with him and he tried to take the knife away from me. It was an accident." "I'll be right back with your drinks and appetizer." She turned so fast that she ran into a bus boy with a tray of dirty glasses and he had to .. | small-town-romance western-romance | Carolyn Brown | |
| d021c6d | CUPPA'S 'TO DIE FOR' CINNAMON ROLLS Did the description of Cuppa's amazing cinnamon rolls make your mouth water? Every time I described them in this book I thought about my family's favorite recipe for cinnamon rolls, and I've included it here for you. I think Tory and Meg would approve. All measurements/temperatures are in US units. Makes 12 wonderfully large rolls Dough: 2 packages active dry yeast 1 cup warm water 2/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon.. | Carolyn L. Dean | ||
| c74a94a | You don't get the guarantee of tomorrow. Today is all you have. Don't waste it worrying. Enjoy it. Don't go stumbling up to the Pearly Gates in your spotless martyr robes. Go sliding up there in a worn-out, used-up body, screaming to the top of your lungs, 'Hallelujah, I made it and I've used everything I had while I was on earth, so open the doors and let me in!' That's the way to live. | Carolyn Brown | ||
| 6840d12 | I love you to the moon and back." Gracie grinned. "Well, I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck," | Carolyn Brown | ||
| c5f8263 | May all the ones ahead be better than those that have already passed. | Carolyn Brown | ||

| 5c8876a | He flipped through channels until he found reruns of NCIS. "Understanding murder is simple compared to understanding a woman, Leroy Jethro Gibbs. You been married a bunch of times. What advice would you give me?" He talked to the character on the television. Gibbs said, "Grab your gear." | Carolyn Brown | ||
| 0794393 | Jill is mine and Polly's only living relative and she has come to Burnt Boot to work for us. And this bunkhouse is big enough for the two of you." Sawyer wasn't too sure about that last statement. The bunkhouse had looked huge when he moved in, but a woman living in it would damn sure make it smaller in a hurry. Travis Tritt's old song "TROUBLE" played through his mind." | Carolyn Brown | ||
| f2061d3 | Wake up every morning and eat a bullfrog first thing, and the rest of the day will go just fine. | Carolyn Brown | ||
| 487446b | That's pretty bold of you, Jill Cleary." His eyes sparkled when he teased. "We've only known each other a few hours, and you're already talking about us getting pets together." | Carolyn Brown | ||
| bbc9026 | He might tolerate someone dipping into his stash of dark-roast coffee, but nobody messed with his pot. Not even if she was cuter than a bug's ear, with that faint sprinkling of freckles across her nose. | Carolyn Brown | ||
| c34cef8 | You aren't a nice cowboy. Are you going to break my heart so bad that I have to write a country song about it? | Carolyn Brown | ||
| c31b480 | Be sure to get her home before midnight. She turns into a rabid coyote when the clock strikes twelve." Sawyer moved on down the bar to fill a pitcher with beer. "That true, darlin'?" Tyrell asked. "Got to take the bad with the good," Jill answered." | Carolyn Brown | ||
| ebbf7bf | He flipped his hands out to motion her away. "Go change clothes six times and stand in front of the mirror. I'll tell you if your jeans make your butt look fat." | Carolyn Brown | ||
| 867a07c | He shoved her feet down to the floor, slid down the sofa, and cupped her face in his hands. She barely had time to moisten her lips and shut her eyes before his mouth closed in to claim hers in a fiery hot kiss. She felt as if her whole body was floating off the sofa toward the ceiling. His hands on her cheeks were the only thing that kept her grounded. Her arms went around his neck. Both hands twisted into his hair for better leverage as h.. | Carolyn Brown | ||
| 67aba16 | I hear it was the fact that the Brennans had a hellfireanddamnation preacher runnin' their family back in Prohibition days and you Gallaghers were runnin' moonshine to get by and got caught. Your family blamed the Brennans for rattin' you out, and that started a feud," Rosalie said." | cowboy-romance feud | Carolyn Brown | |
| 3bd74d0 | One kiss came close to sending the movie theater up in blazes. Sex would burn down the state. | cowboy-romance feud | Carolyn Brown | |
| 997b89b | It's her privilege to say or think whatever she wants. It's mine to ignore her. | Carolyn Brown | ||
| b645815 | Dr. Lydia Ciarallo in the Department of Pediatrics, Brown University School of Medicine, treated thirty-one asthma patients ages six to eighteen who were deteriorating on conventional treatments. One group was given magnesium sulfate and another group was given saline solution, both intravenously. At fifty minutes the magnesium group had a significantly greater percentage of improvement in lung function, and more magnesium patients than pla.. | Carolyn Dean | ||

| 03bfe95 | if one keeps climbing upward in the chain of command within the brain, one finds at the very top those over-all organizational forces and dynamic properties of the large patterns of cerebral excitation that are correlated with mental states or psychic activity.... Near the apex of this command system in the brain.... we find ideas. Man over the chimpanzee has ideas and ideals. In the brain model proposed here, the causal potency of an idea,.. | Douglas R. Hofstadter | ||
| 960d939 | Either because of mate selection, cognition, predator avoidance, or a combination of all three, our minds are attracted to and are finely tuned to the detection of symmetry. The question of whether symmetry is truly fundamental to the universe itself, or merely to the universe as perceived by humans, thus becomes particularly acute. | Mario Livio |
