Yes, that is the problem with news reporters. They have no specialized body of knowledge, so they don't understand that the statement is obviously ridiculous. It confuses exclusion…

Sounds like she would know what to do with a horse in a hospital.

What an absolute hatchet job. Ask lawyers who have a vested interest in finding someone with deep pockets at fault so they can collect on contingency. None of you apparently wishes…

This week I added two iPads to the massive pile that have come into our donation program locked and useless. But, miracle, I was able to find an email address for the donor. It too…

Children are only expensive because we have a consumer mentality that we feel compelled to pass on to them. Try cloth diapers. Make your own baby food (look it up). Avoid buying al…

If you look down the list of deliveries included in the article, you will see that at least one of the other doctors has an unusually low rate of weekend deliveries, but that they …
