The Dirty Thirty is a friendly little workbook that will help you learn--and teach--some of the most useful and most misused words in our language.

These words usually come in pairs like affect-effect, who-whom, and stationery-stationary. They often look and sound a lot alike capitol-capital , and they may be related in meaning emigrate-immigrate. So it's no surprise that even professionals sometimes have trouble keeping them straight. This book will show you how.
It focuses on words that we most need to know about--the ones that come up fairly often in speech and writing, and that competent users of our language are expected to know. You'll get clear explanations of the differences, and do short practice exercises to help you confirm that you understand and can use the words.

For years, the police commissioner and the mayor of New York City have duked it out for publicity, credit, and power. Some have translated their stardom into success after leaving office, while others have been hung out to dry. In the battle for control of the country's most powerful police force, these high-status government officials have often chosen political expediency over public honesty.
The result is a legacy of systemic corruption and cover-ups that is nothing less than shocking. His columns have made him persona non grata in police headquarters.

The early years of life set a foundation, the latter years are spent with memories and regrets, hopefully way more of the former and not the latter.
But the middle years, baby! Those dirty thirty middle years, the twenties, thirties, and forties, are for loving, thinking, feeling, hurting, idealizing, and having the best time of your life. During the dirty thirty years a real taste of freedom is given, bills and responsibilities arise, the inner circle is formed and broken and reformed. The dirty thirty are critical to shaping a person, where they belong, showing them how, and what, they do matters, and ultimately who they are.
Dirty Thirty - Year One, explores the first year of this woman's independence and awakening as she moves along her 21st year of life. Becoming a housewife, of sorts, earlier in life than most, she walks away from that life and lands in a situation with newfound freedom and independence, quickly losing herself.
After several attempts to set minimum boundaries for herself and expectations for those around her, she has to make some big decisions. Overall, I have zero complaints and nothing but high praise for the writing and narration!
Highly recommended! Missed Asa reading but Veronica did a good job. Thank you for the terrific listen. So intriguing to hear things from a bona fide pornstar's perspective. It's an eye opening glimpse into the mind of a highly successful adult entertainer.
