All Stressed Up and No Place To Go Paperback – April 25, 2005

4.4 out of 5 stars 3 ratings

Laughter and hope make the best defense against stress. Here, Lori Borgman takes on life's daily pressures with her trademark homespun humor. There's plenty here to make a woman's eyelids twitch: anxiety about love handles; too much tummy; corduroy pants that make a loud swishing sound when she walks; teaching her son to drive a stick shift; the hormonal roller coaster ride of life past forty; and the challenge of being married to a guy who claims women live longer than men because "man years" are tougher on the body. All Stressed Up and No Place To Go offers up an arsenal of tension-busting laughs, plus an uplifting message about friendship, family, and faith.

    Lori Borgman is very funny. I got it for my wife for her birthday and I know that she will enjoy it. I was especially pleased with the quality of the book. It was listed as used but looks brand new. I got it from Better Worldbooks. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality. I would rate Better Worldbooks as 5 stars, 100% satisfied.

    Lori Borgman writes a column on parenting and family life that is distributed to newspapers all over the country. She even makes getting a traffic ticket funny (Chapter 17). And there's getting the kids to take a bath, and then getting them out of the bathroom (Chapter 7). There's the hormonal roller coaster ride of a female past forty (More than one chapter).

    This book is a series of what I suppose were newspaper columns (we don't get them here so I can't be sure). There is little of earth shattering importance here, just enough to make you chuckle a bit and make life better than it was.

    Perhaps my favorite was her learning how to pray -- she was teaching her teenage son how to drive a pickup truck with a manual transmission. Oh how I remember those days.

    If you're under forty something, if you haven't been married, if you don't have any kids -- you simply won't understand. But for the rest of us, very entertaining reading. She understands our life.
