monstrous joy

her bosom rose and fell tumultuously

afflicted with a heart trouble

sudden, wild abandonment

She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance.

`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

`Please would you tell me,' said Alice, a little timidly, for she was not quite sure whether it was good manners for her to speak first, `why your cat grins like that?'

This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'

`We must burn the house down!' said the Rabbit's voice; and Alice called out as loud as she could, `If you do. I'll set Dinah at you!'

`You are not attending!' said the Mouse to Alice severely. `What are you thinking of?'

`That WAS a narrow escape!' said Alice, a good deal frightened at the sudden change, but very glad to find herself still in existence; `and now for the garden!' and she ran with all speed back to the little door: but, alas! the little door was shut again, and the little golden key was lying on the glass table as before, `and things are worse than ever,' thought the poor child, `for I never was so small as this before, never! And I declare it's too bad, that it is!'

nother moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, `Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural)

The healthiest solution is to create strong bonds across generations, establishing a community of men for boys, and of women for girls.

The notion of giving boys guidance about becoming a man now seems old-fashioned. The end result is a growing proportion of boys live their lives in their bedrooms, playing violent video games or watching pornography, reveling in their supposed masculinity but disengaged from the real world. As a practicing family physician, I see such boys often.

part of the appeal of the sport is that girls are not included.

Being a real man means doing things that girls don’t do

volunteering alone requires long-term commitment, follow-through and a higher level of personal accountability. The small team I worked with taught me the many ways I could make problems worse, even with the best of intentions.

We see nothing wrong with volunteers enjoying their work, so long as it yields tangible and enduring results

Our Global Builders volunteers have the opportunity to see the world beyond the beaten tourist paths and immerse themselves in other cultures in ways few other Americans do. And while they generally get one day during their one- to two-week trips to do some sightseeing, they are otherwise wiped out from working all day long. Building homes is hardly easy or token work. If our volunteers want to kick up their feet at the end of the day to take in a sunset on the Nicaraguan coast or snap some selfies with smiling children in India, they’ve earned that right.

Volunteers are how we are able to make home ownership affordable for families in the United States and abroad. Why they choose to work with us in the mountains of Peru, in Nepal or 15 other countries is irrelevant to us so long as the work gets done.
