You can learn a lot about nurses when you visit your local Emergency Room.
Long story short: I took a flop, hit my face | and head on my way down to the floor, and landed in the Emergency Room with a bleeding, bruised noggin, and a shiner. I haven't had this much purple and blue on my eyelids since the 70s!
As I waited (for nearly two hours) to be seen by a doctor, and observed other patients and the attending nurses, one thing became pe... |

Your degree doesn't help make the big bucks and the bank still wants to get paid back on the school loans. Since you didn't hang with the right crew, there is no one to hook ... |

Truly the teenage girls of Britain are enjoying a golden period of pop festivity. As Justin Bieber is still precipitating a squally front amongst | his tweenie fans across UK arenas, their older sisters are getting their share of caffeinated screaming in to salute the arrival of Katy Perry.

On a hot Tuesday evening in mid-June, a team called The Blue Crew took on a team called Rojo Caliente... |
My apologies to Kenny Rogers, anyone who isn’t familiar with the song, "The Gambler," and anyone who doesn’t | believe that 1970s country music isn’t made of pure melodic and lyrical gold. We’ll just have to agree to disagree on that one.
The other day, "The Gambler" popped into my head about the same time I was feeling the stresses of parenthood. And while there are stresses of parenthood at every age (let’s not even talk abo... |
