People shouldn’t have to vaccinate their kids. In fact, parents absolutely know what’s best for their kids in every situation, which is why you’ve never heard of a mom calling a doctor at two AM because her child has a fever. Moms automatically know exactly what to do. They know better than anyone what their …

Are you feeling blue? Do you travel into the wild blue yonder once in a blue moon? Did you order the blue plate special out of the blue and think it deserves a blue ribbon? Does a blue sky make you talk until you’re blue in the face? Would a blue screen of death leave you …
I’ve never really been a follower of that whole “go organic” movement. It’s hard to care about that kind of thing when you can barely afford the regular, non-organic foods. But now that I’ve got the choice, I still can’t say that I know what I’m doing when it comes to the world of organic …
Once, during my period, I Googled how I could get enough energy to exercise. The answer? Exercise. Thanks, Internet! Why don’t you come over here so I can kick you in the butt? You know, if I had the energy to lift my foot that high, which I don’t. My relationship with exercise has always …
What do you think of when I say “fingernails?” For most people, visions of pretty nail polish in every color and acrylic nails with fancy tips dance across their minds. People who work with their hands may think of stubborn grease stains under and around their nails … nothing that a good sandpaper-like washing with …
Quick! Picture someone with autism! I’ve got a whole dollar that says you pictured a cherub faced, 10 year old white kid with blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. It’s okay, there’s nothing wrong with you. I picture a cherub faced 10 year old white kid with blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes, too. I’m …
For those of you who are terrified of the dentist, you are not alone. It doesn’t help that my first visit to the dentist was far too late in life….. *cringes* 24. By then the damage was done. A broken tooth, four wisdom teeth that need extracting and 9 cavities that needed filled. We won’t …
Thanks to Hollywood, Star Trek and Star Wars have captured the minds of at least three generations. Okay, so that’s my rough guesstimate. My folks saw the shows when they first aired and in the theaters when they were new. I fell in love with the second generation of both series’, even if Jar Jar was …
About eight months ago, a week after my annual pap smear, I got a call from my OB/GYN’s office. They wanted me to come in and talk to my doctor about the results of my pap. Normally, I was given a code to call a mailbox and get my results that way. I asked them …
I’m a huge fan of spiders. I know, I know, I’m telling you this now so you can get all your boo’s and hiss’s out of the way early. We grew up on a farm where spiders played a huge part in making sure our house wasn’t constantly infested with other, way scarier little creatures (ticks, …
Dr. O had been my doctor for twenty years. Not just any doctor: my gynecologist. There’s something so much more personal about the doctor who intimately examines our junk as opposed to other doctors. I was his patient within his very first week of opening an office. He was my doctor through the loss of …
So, you know how there is a vaccine for EVERYTHING, these days? I mean from the measles to chicken pox. Now don’t get me wrong, if vaccines are what you’re into, you should totally get them! Especially for the big nasties like the FREAKING PLAGUE. But really, the flu? Do you really need to get …
I am a sugar-holic. A seriously addicted to sugar crazy person who sometimes drives to Wal-Mart in the middle of the night because I’m jonsing for an Oatmeal Pie. My biggest crazy sugar deal was the time I stress-ate my way through two huge bags of Easter candy and a gallon of ice cream all …
Soap is one of those common household items that I never think about until I’m washing my hands and discover that I’ve only got the “water” part of “soap and water.” This happens to me way too often – someone should probably come and revoke my adult card. And I’m not saying that making my …
