Book Description
[faint] Praise for THE LIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE "These stories are absolutely hysterical, and the writing is top-notch. I can't tell you how much I enjoy reading them. Really, I can't. But we'll rally the fan base and alert the media!" -ANNE BRIDGES, Eigel's Fan Club President (and sole fan) "JEFF FOXWORTHY would have liked this book more than the first book had he read either of them." -Anonymous "Eigel is a prolific writer. But I was shocked he knocked my book, "How I Saved the World" off the New York Times #1 spot with this piece of ... toileture." -What JESSE WATTERS likely would have said had he read this book and it actually went to #1. "This is by far one of the best comedic books my son has ever written. But I still don't understand why so many of these stories have to have alcohol and bad words in them" -SUZANNE, Eigel's mom "I can't believe he wrote a second book! And now I'm one of the stupid chapters. He needs to get a real job... Anyone?" -MAUREEN, Eigel's wife About the Author Eigel grew up loving the likes of Lewis Grizzard and Paul Harvey and has a passion for the written word. Starting in 1996, he began writing an annual letter at Christmas to be the antithesis of the typical letters. A humorous picture, self-deprecating humor and sarcasm would be the impetus of his Christmas Epistle. Eventually the anecdotes were expounded into blog stories. After much prodding and pushing, the author refined, wrote and published those stories and many more in these first two books: Toileture Series-Book One and Toileture Series-Number Two. Look for the third in the series in late 2023. Anyone from Baby Boomer's to Millennial's, who appreciates sarcasm, will laugh out loud at the stories and often relatable life experiences.

"Don't Get Mad...Get Even" is a hilarious compilation of stories, most of them about practical jokes Aspenites played on each other during the years between 1960 and 1980. In those years Aspen was a booming tourist town, buildings were cropping up everywhere like dandelions in the lawn. Fortune tellers were getting elected and passing no-growth density laws to stop the runaway boom. Behind this scene were the crazies who had the foresight to be an integral part of the excitement. They were driven by their passion for skiing but also needed to feed their bellies and entrepreneurs they became. Once their livelihood was assured they began to have some harmless practical joke fun, often at the expense of their friends. There are lots of wild stories like riding a motorcycle through your friend's new house on Halloween night, or filling a friend's borrowed rowboat full of 500 pounds of grape Jell-O. The characters in this book didn't get mad they just got even. This is a journey full of outlandish stories, each chapter a new tale, making this the perfect bathroom or bedside book.

Book Description
Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.
