Two stories on cancer nonprofits caught my eye this week, Susan B Komen for the Cure decision to defund Planned Parenthood because of a politically-driven investigation by Congress, and Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong nonprofit helping Lance more than anyone else with cancer. Let’s start with Lance who is current being investigated for doping and perhaps a [...]

The problem with graduating from medical school is that when my stomach hurts and I don’t vomit or poop my brains out, I think: I have abdominal fullness. When I think “abdominal fullness,” I think cancer. I start to list off the rest of my recent “symptoms,” which all lead to cancer even though I [...]

Out at Barnes and Noble… Me: I’m thinking of dyeing my hair red and green for Christmas. Scott: Oh yeah, let’s get some Manic Panic. Me: This blue isn’t Manic Panic. It’s Special Effects. You don’t read my blog. Scott: I read your blog a LOT. Me: Whatever. I huff off and spend 10 minutes [...]

I was cleaning out the random bowl of crap that is meant to only have our car keys in it when I found a lollipop, and not the crappy Dum Dums my hairdresser and doctor palm off on my kids. This baby was a fantastical gum-in-the-center genius pop. I look right. I look left. I [...]

Do you ever wonder why so many people are going to died in Armageddon? Besides the whole Christian view about those of us who forgot to throw stones at gay people are doomed, I’m pretty sure pop culture is going to kill us. Um, if you think a workout will prepare you for going days [...]

Eight new elements have been discovered, but only three have become official through the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry or IUPAC for short like when you’re bringing it up at dinner parties or say in blog posts. Those three newbie elements are Darmstadtium, Roentgenium and Copernicium. Also known as BORINGIUM. So I’ve decided [...]

I began crying this afternoon because my husband got to start his cold this weekend when I was not sick, but I’m stuck starting my cold while he’s still sick, too. OH THE HUMANITY. My throat hurts, my sinuses are clogged, my stomach is cramping, my heart is skipping beats, my head aches, my eyes [...]

A great comment on a post last week from Dolli-Mama ended with: “Cut your neighbor some slack and assume the best.” I didn’t like reading it. Because it’s like she was driving with me last week when I completely lost it after some drivers who, instead of merging, went right up to the construction and [...]
