Book Description
You have probably seen them working somewhere, but in a flash, they are gone and out of mind. You have probably donated clothes, books or toys at one of their charity bins. Good and clean previous possessions you want to give to a not-for-profit as a way to help others. They arrive to get those donations each day, in every weather condition possible. They come and go without a thank-you or a need for acknowledgement. They work hard and do their jobs to help the community! Who are ‘they’? They are donation truck drivers! Men and women who work for the various charities. Their job is to collect all donated items for delivery to partner thrift stores for sorting. Their job is found all over the world, but is barely thought of within the societies in which they operate. But the time has come to shine a light on the hard work they do because of the growing nightmare that is consuming their jobs. That nightmare being…garbage dumping! The Fantabulously Awesome Life of a Charity Donation Truck Driver is a new revealing look into this unique globally-found job and the truly odd, gross and disturbing things people choose to dump at charity donation bins. From mouldy clothes and evil dolls to dead animals and used needles, there seems to be no limit to what donation truck drivers must deal with daily. Author Nion Dabtino uses his collection of cell phone pictures, taken over the past two years, to provide readers a glimpse into what items SHOULD NOT be dumped via donation bins. The book also provides insights into how the donation business works, the proliferation of fake for-profit bin and it provides friendly advice on how best to donate. Equal parts funny, serious and crude (there is some justifiable anger-based swearing in there), The Fantabulously Awesome Life of a Charity Donation Truck Driver will open your eyes to a world you know exists, but never really thought about…until now!

The Boy With Zero Self-Esteem
Author: Aone Ofmany
Publisher: Zelpha Comics and Publishing
ISBN: 0995827338
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
We all have heard of the terms and disorders so many of our fellow citizens in society deal with daily: depression, loneliness, anxiety, anger, paranoia, agoraphobia, attempted suicide, incel mindset, being bullied, low self-esteem and the list goes on and on. It is difficult to live a ‘normal’ happy life with just one of these mental health afflictions. Now imagine living with all of them! This book will open up the life of one ordinary man who started off just like any happy-go-lucky kid, and how he grew up to encompass all the mental conditions listed above. A badly needed real story about the origins of mental health issues in a person who could be just about anybody out there. But more importantly than how he suffered from mental health, this book will reveal how he was able to overcome his issues and demons to achieve a simple and happy ordinary life with his family. That ‘normalcy’ we all crave deep down. How meditation and cannabis – yes, good ol’ weed – helped him find peace and stable mental health. He’s only one out the millions of men out there who have looked for love, acceptance, and understanding in this unfair world, and ended up being devastated because of it. But he is also one of those men who was able to change his life for the better. We hope you will enjoy his journey.

Let's Pretend This Never Happened
Author: Jenny Lawson
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101573082
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy. “Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate.”—O, The Oprah Magazine When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it. In the irreverent Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson’s long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.

Book Description
Growing awareness of the importance of soil health means that microbes are on the minds of even the most casual gardeners. After all, anyone who has ever attempted to plant a thriving patch of flowers or vegetables knows that what you grow is only as good as the soil you grow it in. It is possible to create and maintain rich, dark, crumbly soil that’s teeming with life, using very few inputs and a no-till, no-fertilizer approach. Certified permaculture designer and lifelong gardener Diane Miessler presents the science of soil health in an engaging, entertaining voice geared for the backyard grower.
