Grief is not a disorder, a disease or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for LOVE. - Earl Grollman

I'm a white woman but not a "pick a dog up on the side of the road" white woman.

Unfortunately, my kid doesn't take after me. Why did she bring a Great Pyrenees home?

Nope. Take it back!

With those odds, why couldn't he just win the lottery?

Synovial sarcoma is a type of soft-tissue sarcoma. It is a rare cancer. Only about 1 to 3 in a million people are diagnosed with this disease each year. It is more common among teenagers and young adults.

@JenReadsRomance Here (GA) they test them every Wednesday at noon. On campus you can always tell the students who come from hometowns that also test opposed to those who think we're under attack.

The downside of personal sharing online is that people will process your story through their lens. A story you remember as a snapshot moment becomes "abusive" to someone else.

Cereal mom sounds like parents of a certain era. Where it was a different time.

Going to bed mad. Gonna wake up mad. Gotta stay mad longer than they stay greedy.

Because of your bad business and ethics decision, MDR-TB can spread further and faster.
