Pat Carey - Professional stand-up comedian that also contributed a book excerpt about his family to Humor Is Relative. I am waiting for him to tour my area - to hear more of his stories!
James Collins - Forever and ever this man will be known to Humor Is Relative readers as the first male contributor to share any stuff with us. In fact, his first contribution was titled "Stuff". Coincidence? I don't think so!
Howard Denofsky - Self-published author of books about psychology and - oddly enough - he shared an excerpt from one with us!
Debbie Farmer - She has a family, a nationally syndicated column, a website, published a book or twp ... and, oh yeah, she's funny too!
Terry Lerdall-Fitterer - This woman's enthusiasm for life fuels her humorous wit - and who knows where this combination will lead her stories in the future (but I think she's well on her way to good things!).
Faith R. Foyil - One funny parent with an over-active imagination!
Debra Garfinkle - Proud of her heritage and family and manages to include both of these passions into her humorous stories. She's also published a book for young teens.
Rudy Wilson Galdonik - She may have $40,000 of medical miracles inside of her body but the humor this woman's pen shares is priceless! Rudy contacted me out of the blue one day, through email, about her book Take Heart! and I am so glad the internet helped this witty down-to-earth woman cross my path.
Elizabeth Palmer Hale - Canadian freelance writer, mother and wife. And a liberal dose of humor.
Brett Hall - He's a humorous father, of twins, and a fellow Hoosier (from Indiana) ... need I say more? Ok, Brett also writes sci fi fantasy.
Rhonda Huisman - She shared a story about a day out with her sons. Someone from the Today Show read her story here on Humor Is Relative and, in June 2005, Rhonda appeared on the national morning news program to talk about, what else, her sons!
Beth Boswell Jacks - Hails from Mississippi and is a syndicated personal essay/humor columnist. Author of one book, Jacks has also published over 40 stories and poems in magazines and literary journals. She also can be found at USA Deep South!
Shannon McCarty - Another new name to join Humor Is Relative's list of contributors as she puts humorous spins to every day activities that parents contend with.
Liz Masoner - Family appears to be important to this woman and her first contribution to Humor Is Relative shared about 3 generations of her family with the readers!
Carrie Metz-English - Family humor columnist that isn't afraid to tackle any topic - including toilet training!
LaVonis Miracle - Who ever thought, back when we were in school, that teachers had a sense of humor? LaVonis happily shares her humorous side while sharing a memory or two from her childhood years with this site.
Cappy Hall Rearick - Cappy states that she "... marches to the beat of a different drummer because her drummer has a great sense of humor" I have to whole-heartedly agree and hope that she continues marching to that beat! Her site is Simply Southern - which is also the title of her book!
Sarah V. Richard - I applaud any woman that keeps a sense of humor around her chidlren - particularly when she has them in sets of 2 or more at a time!
Kimberly Ripley - Author of "Breathe Deeply, This Too Will Pass" and "Freelancing Later In Life" and a few more books! Kimberly formerly acted as the content editor for Teen Seen It All on the WebSeed Publishing Network of content sites in the past.
Renee Ripley - Renee holds a Master of Arts and is an avid reader and freelance writer. She is also the mom of two great, growing boys. The family lives most of the year in Arizona and the remainder of the time in Scotland.
Marilyn Rudenstein - Can a social worker have an humorous outlook on things? After reading this woman's submission I can say, in my Hoosier-lingo, "They sure 'nough can!"
Paula Schmitt - Columnist with her hands full, particularly when taking her children out in public, but does it with a smile and wicked sense of humor!
Jayne Lester Sergent - A humorous woman who is a lifelong writer and enjoys shares sneak peeks into her family life. Other times she is found sharing her skills as a Registered Nurse in patient care. I don't know about you, but I would enjoy having a nurse with a sense of humor at my bedside!
John Sheirer - What can I say about a man who has a way with words to stir up emotions while nodding the head in understanding ... and chuckling because one can oh-so-relate? Just that I am happy he submitted some of his writings to Humor Is Relative and I hope that many others enjoy his works also!
Brenda Graham Shrider - A sweet woman who is proud of her family; but is also short and to the point when sharing stories about them with others.
Jim Spence - He contributed several stories - most eaten up in a hard drive crash though so won't be shared on Humor Is Relative. *pout* He also shares some of his work at Heart With Soul [currently down] and NiceStories.com.
Linda Sultan - This woman's work has been published in The Baltimore Sun, Welcome Home, Light, and a variety of other magazines and newspapers - PLUS here at Humor Is Relative! She likes to share her wit through poetic means.
Jill Jacks-Tate - A mother who plans out her "later in life" revenge on children, done in the spirit of being a good parent (naturally), to help enforce to the child it is better to be truthful - well, I admire that kind of humorous maternal quality!
Mark Webber - Another male contributor to Humor Is Relative and one, that I feel, will be going places!
Carol Wells - Besides being the mother to five children, she is as the content editor behind the scenes of Humor Is Relative. Yeah, she shares some of her own writings here also; go figure!
