Keep your wits about you—it’s haunted Joplin.   Includes photos!   “There may be as many non-living residents of Joplin as there are live ones, according to Haunted Joplin.” —The Morning Sun

  Your heart is pounding fast and you are feeling dizzy.  It seems as though you have to sit down in order for you not to fall.  You are having trouble catching your breath. You are experiencing a numbing feeling in your hands and feet.   
  
  There is a tightening pressure in your chest area.  You think you may be on the verge of a heart attack.  You think something is really wrong with you; however, you are far from dying.
  
  Anxiety is a mental disorder in which a person fears just about anything and they think every outcome will turn out for the worst.  This fear is frightening because it is so intense and they always fear that someone is after them.  
  
  If you have any type of disorder that is associated with anxiety, then your mind will always be focused on being scared for no reason.  You will always feel that there is no solution to your unfounded fear and that there is no way out.  
  
  You feel paralyzed as though you can't do anything.  Basically, you are frozen with fear.  This disorder can attack at any time.  
  
  Anxiety disorder is more than just one action.  Anxiety disorder has different sub-disorders that can fit under this.  For instance, there are panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder and others that are related to the anxiety disorder family.  
  
  There are many people all over that suffer from anxiety attacks.  If you are not afflicted with them, you may know someone who is.  If it is you, you need to know how to help yourself.  If it's someone else, you need to know how to help them.  You will have to be understanding and help them to get the treatment and support that they need to combat this condition.

  “Glamour camping . . . is about the juxtaposition of rugged and really pretty, grit and glam, diesel and absolutely darling.”—The New York Times   Glamping—unleashing your inner wild while wearing a pair of fishing-lure earrings—is for every woman (or man!) who ever had a get-away-from-it-all fantasy (with a few frilly embellishments thrown in). Learn about the never-fail campfire, cooking with cast iron, how to change a flat, and much, much more.    Like the infamous Calamity Jane, who said, “I figure if a girl wants to be a legend, she should go ahead and be one,” MaryJane Butters coined the term glamping years ago when she founded her unusual Idaho canvas wall-tent bed & breakfast, which was featured in The New York Times Magazine and Travel & Leisure as “the place to be.” Legend status achieved, MaryJane lives in Moscow, Idaho, where she runs her many businesses, which include a successful organic farm, product lines, a bed & breakfast, and MaryJanesFarm magazine. This is her fourth book.   “One busy, hectic afternoon in my house, I sat down to take a quick peek at Glamping. Over two hours later, I was still reading, blissfully lost in MaryJane’s beautiful world. I’m dying over this book. I absolutely, positively LOVE IT!”—Ree Drummond, New York Times bestselling author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks
