Description

Fragments of My Early Life Under SocialismGood quality writing is generally a very demanding endeavor. When the writing is done by using a second (not native) language, the challenge is even greater. Trying to write a memoir is even a deeper problem for me. Most of the writing I had done was always limited to engineering technical subjects, due to my education and many years of work experience. Those subjects are typically dry, precise and factual, using limited vocabulary, or just boring.

Good quality writing is generally a very demanding endeavor. When the writing is done by using a second (not native) language, the challenge is even greater. Trying to write a memoir is even a deeper problem for me. Most of the writing I had done was always limited to engineering/technical subjects, due to my education and many years of work experience. Those subjects are typically dry, precise and factual, using limited vocabulary, or just boring. Writing a memoir is a completely different story. It involves language comprehension, describing observations, expressing feelings, making subjective comments, and formulating opinions. All that requires good composition skills and rich vocabulary. None of which are my forte.

Nevertheless, my decision to write this memoir was motivated by two reasons and neither one of them was to display writing skills or provide entertainment. The reasons were simple and straight forward Ð presenting facts and providing information.

The first reason was that I wanted to leave behind a record of some memories from my early life. This would only be of interest to a limited number of people, like my sons, relatives, or younger friends of mine. The assumption was that they may have a wish, or degree of curiosity, to learn more about me.

The second reason was that I wanted to address some of the realities of the social, economic and political atmosphere in which I grew-up. That information could be of interest to a large number of uninformed people. This year, in the USA the topic of socialism vs. capitalism is publicly, continuously and vigorously debated. That of course, is due to the upcoming presidential general election.

I was hoping that the facts presented in this book would be desirable and helpful as a alternative to the various misleading, and even fraudulent speculation, manipulation, and self-serving opinion on the topic of socialism vs. capitalism.

Finally a ball my power chewers cannot destroy
Size: Medium
I have two dogs, an American Bully and an American Pit Bull Terrier, and both of them love to chew. Most balls last a very short time around here before they are shredded or missing big chunks. This one has actually held up. They chase it, tug on it and sit and chew on it, and it is still in one piece with no pieces breaking off. One of my favorite things is being able to put food inside. I add some kibble or small snacks, and they will happily sit and work on it for a long time. It keeps them busy, gives them something safe to chew, and they get a little reward while they play. When they are done, I just rinse it out and it is ready to go again. If you have strong jawed dogs that usually destroy toys, this ball is worth trying. Mine really enjoy it and I feel better knowing they finally have a ball that can keep up with them.

My dog LOVES this ball
Size: Medium, Size: Medium
Does your dog destroy tennis balls in seconds? Yes? Then your dog NEEDS this ball! It's squishy like a tennis ball, fits in ball launchers (even the cheap ones) and bounces when it hits the ground. My dog has been literally playing with this ball all day and not a single mark on it! The only bad thing is that it does not float. Definitely worth the money! Put it in your cart!

Perfect for ball demolishers
Size: Medium
The dogs love the chuck it brand. I don’t know what it’s made of but they go crazy over them. Will not play with another ball. Wonder if it’s “laced” with an addictive scent. Have pits. Very durable. Not able to chew to pieces. Last for about 6 months before there is a small break. I keep a back up because when the ball goes missing the house is in chaos. 😆 🤪

Chuckit medium rebound balls
Size: Medium
My 8 month old German shepherd dog loves these balls. They are easy to throw, they bounce great, they are very chewable! She keeps one in her mouth most of the time. It satisfies her need to chew and she does not chew other things. She drops it in the water and lets the hole fill up and drinks that way. The only problem that has caused is suction in her mouth and difficulty in dislodging it for her. However, she would be lost without it!
