Most of us have at some point awakened to a common but uncomfortable ailment such as strep throat, poison ivy or pink eye. These conditions are ones we can’t treat on our own at home. So you haul yourself to a lengthy wait in your doctor’s office as the staff attempts to work you […]
Jeanne, over at The Assertive Cancer Patient is, er, asserting herself. She’s fighting mad and I’m helping spread the word. Having never had cancer myself, I lack perspective. So, I’m doing the ol’ copy and paste of Jeanne’s post:

Hospitals (in most cases) are not unreasonable. They’d much rather bargain with you than the alternative.

Is it safe to live directly underneath a large number of radio and/or cell towers?
I like the taste of butter. I grew up with margarine as the “healthier” substitute, then switched to various spreads, then back. What provides the […]
I’m getting a root canal this morning.
Gross.
The words “root canal” alone are enough to make most people wince and utter some sort of foreboding noise. Usually a long low, “Ooooo.”
Well, in about an hour yours truly will be in the midst of it. It’ll be the third in my life, which, I guess, takes some […]
If you give Bioden, Inc. ~$600 + $90 a year, they’ll keep your child’s baby teeth in an indefinite cryogenic deep freeze. It’s like the tooth fairy who brings an amount due instead of the shiny stuff.
From the company’s website:
Bioeden, Inc. is proud to be the first company in the world to offer […]
The most compelling reason not to drive drunk is obvious; you don’t want to become a killer. Drunk drivers contributed to the deaths of more than 16,000 Americans last year.
An additional reason is the price tag that accompanies that DUI charge. If you’re impressed with that $125 bottle of pricey scotch, consider this: a DUI […]
