Applied Caregiving

In fact, if you know someone is a caregiver you might not want to ask how they are. It’s not about them anymore. “How are you,” doesn’t ...

You have the manners of a goat! *

12 hours ago by Dan

I’m a movie fan. I always have been. Not only do I enjoy watching movies on DVD at home, but I’m a big fan of going to movies at theaters, too.

1 day ago by lindsayraeadventurestory

So in my many adventures in the wacky world of retail, I’ve discovered (didn’t take me long) that people are, on average, pretty ignorant of the those around them.
