said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10 00 and 4 00 Since I work from 9 00 to 5 30 the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45 minute lunch break Unfortunately the theatre is on the other side of the town and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good But if you are lucky you can make the round trip in 45 minutes Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for the bus By the time I saw one come around the corner there was not enough time left to make the trip So I gave up and went back

I told myself I d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year but it didn t happen Instead of losing the pounds I put them on I d lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bag of fish and chips didn t make any difference but the scales don t lie Roz Juma To be honest I never weigh myself any more I ve learnt to be happy with myself It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips My idea is simple You shouldn t be too much thinking about food and dieting Instead you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a super thin body

conversation goes on below the level of consciousness At times however we become aware of it This is usually when we are running into difficulties when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning When successful matching is being experienced our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level Different people converse with the text differently Some stay very close to the words on the page others take off imaginatively from words interpreting criticizing analyzing and examining The former represents a kind of comprehension that is written in the text while the latter

to do with what is read but with how it is read We call this a process conversation as opposed to a content conversation It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ in reading
