What your Doctor Does Not Tell You

What you are about to read in this article may shock you and may make you want to scream, but keep in mind that my intention is to make aware of things that happen in the medical world. Doctors are human after all, and they do make mistakes. Sometimes these mistakes are in the form of an accident during a surgical procedure or sometimes they simply do not provide us with all the facts. I hope you find this to be an eye opening experience to what your doctor does not tell you. How often have you been to your doctor’s office and have left with a prescription or two to fill for you...

Let it Snow!

Snowboarding is such a wonderful sport and is definitely becoming very popular.

Why You Can’t Vote on Whom I Choose to Marry

The euphoria that came with the recent passing of a bill to permit same-sex marriage in New York was hard-earned and short-lived, it would seem. At least for me. I was thrilled when the text message from the Human Rights Campaign found its way to my cell phone Friday. I was at a sort of Founder’s Day party on Main Street in the cute, little town where I live with my partner and 4 of our shared 7 children. We were there because our youngest girls were competing in a Guitar Hero contest hosted by a man I consider to be like a son-in-law. As you can see, we’re all about family. And this...

I’m Just a Content Mill Writer

By Patrice I just found a group on Facebook called Content Mill Writers Unite, and it again reminded me again how the old fashioned print writers tend to look down on those of us who freelance online. Once again, I’m ticked off. I went back to school 12 years ago and earned an AA in Multimedia and Interactive Technology, a fancy name for webmaster. That was before the wonderful template packages that set up beautiful websites with click and drag. In addition to learning too many computer programming languages, the degree requirements included art, photography, digital photography,...

Groupon may be hazardous to your dating

Using Groupon on a first date signals financial savvy to some people and being a tightwad to others. Washington DC Yelp Talk recently debated this conflict. The consensus suggests that using coupons early in a relationship shouldn’t matter but it does. Most people say they’d postpone seeking discounts until they got to know each other better. Interestingly, Sahar “Half Pint” R. says that Groupon has some offer where if you use them on a first date and have a child together, the kid can qualify for a scholarship in 20 years or so. So if you’re into arranged marriages, cash...
