A Breakdown and Personal Responsibility
When I wrote this piece, I not only gave it the 24-hour test, I gave it the 7-day test. I remain steadfast in my personal position which seems to be a hot item these days.With interest someone posted a status update on Facebook last week that involved a link from blogspot.

Greek History Crash Course; not so boring!
If you read my last blog you know that I am nursing a fat lip. Part of that nursing procedure is to be quiet. That is, no talking due to the fact that I have not yet been to the dentist to have the broken tooth tended to; the tooth irritates the cut in the …
