Members Reviews:

Forewarned is forearmed

No one wants to think about needing long term care for self or loved one, but reality cannot be escaped. I have worked in this environment as an RN, and have seen first-hand the devastation that can befall a family. While my perspective varies from that of the attorney who formulated and keeps updating this book, I know that the information here can smooth things for overwhelmed families. Brick and mortar facilities, as well as home care and hospice agencies have social workers available, but being aware and prepared is best for your own mental health as well as your pocket book. This book will be an invaluable asset to you if you apply the knowledge gained.

Be aware, however, that this book is aimed to the needs of older individuals.

Narrator Jack has a clear, well-modulated speaking voice with clear enunciation which enhances the material presented by the author.

There is a ton of helpful information here, so there weren't any scenes.

No, nine hours is a very long time to listen to a reference book! I listened an hour at a time in order to digest the information.

Any additional comments?

This information was well-presented by the author, and easy to listen to and absorb, thanks to a wonderful narration. It made a lot of sense and contained tons of information, which I took notes on. There are also PDF files available on the audible page, for further reference.

A must read for everyone...

I received this audio book in exchange for a honest and unbiased review. This book is about everything we need to know about our care and well being as we get old. Here we learn about what medicare does and doesn't cover and when. We learn about VA care (Veterans) and we learn about guardianship. We learn about doing wills, about our assets and power of attorney. All about nursing homes and other options, along with Hospice and when we qualify.

There are chapters on clicker training, target stick training, and training gear, such as collars and leashes; the nine ingredients of canine optimum health (diet, play, socialization, quiet time, exercise, employment, rest, training, and healthcare); and human-canine communication.

Members Reviews:

great for beginners or to refresh memory

This is an audio book for those who are trying to train a dog for the first time or those who have experience with dogs but need updating or refreshing. I have tried most of the techniques with great success over the past two months. I would recommend to anyone.

Loved this book

I could have done without the yoga part but the rest of the book is great. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a dog or is considering getting one.

Publisher: Writer's AudioShop

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 50 votes

Publisher's Summary:

Humor is ignored and misunderstood in writing. But learning to use humor will improve your writing and your bottom line. These two workshops are from experts who can help you ride the comedy wave to successful humor writing.

©1994 Peter Mehlman and Mel Helitzer; (P)2004 Writer's AudioShop

Members Reviews:

A book for comedy writers, not marketers.

I began listening to this book thinking it was about how to write "selling humor" in the context of "sales copy with humour injected"... I was wrong - It's very much a book aimed at comedians or comedy writers who want to sell their comedy writing.

If you are in that field, then this audio does provide some good advice, and includes an engaging (but not overly educational) except from a live presentation from a Seinfield writer, which I enjoyed.

If you are wanting to learn how to write sales copy which includes humour, this is NOT that book.

useful, if you can get past the casual bigotry

What did you like best about How to Write Selling Humor? What did you like least?

I enjoyed the academic look at humor. There's some really interesting stuff in there.

What was most disappointing about Peter Mehlman and Mel Helitzer s story?

The casual sexism, racism, and homophobia when it comes to humor. The talks are from the 80s, and delight in telling people that "fruit" is now a synonym for homosexual and "women and prudes don't like too many sex jokes."

Which scene was your favorite?

The Seinfeld stories.

Did How to Write Selling Humor inspire you to do anything?

Made me realize that approaching humor academically won't work in my writing.

Any additional comments?

Overall I was disappointed in this.

it was pretty good!

I enjoyed the first part for its principal and academic approach. and while the second half was entertaining I only was able to get benefit out of it because of the first half. Did you tell the sound and by the topic that it was old but nonetheless with useful information

Old basics, but alright

This was obviously an older work, but the first lecture was an interesting summary of the basics. Not advanced, or geared toward one field in particular, but perfectly fine, though aged. The second lecture from the Seinfeld writer was very interesting for the sake of the content, as well as the accidental tips that were given about viewing and writing humour as the lecturer told about the details of his work.

Disappointing and limited

Beware! The first workshop by Peter Mehlman was recorded when President Reagan was still in office so you may find it rather out of date! The constant references to Bob Newhart, Johnny Carson and Bob Hope are another giveaway that this recording has probably lost most of its relevance to today?s comedy writers. Mostly Mehlman talks about selling jokes rather than selling longer comedy sketches and he focuses almost exclusively on selling to the print market. Whilst I managed to get a couple of nuggets from this workshop, most of it was obvious and basic stuff. I found Mehlman?s delivery too slow and rather dreary. Although he tries, he never really manages to evoke much humour. I was, therefore, disappointed by this workshop and I would have been most put out had the second workshop not been a considerable improvement.
