True Stories,
weight-loss I want to add a bit more to my post from yesterday about my experience with doctors. Please understand, I know that there are good, conscientious, respectful doctors out there. My brother is married to one. My headache specialist, chiropractor, and dentist are three more. My new internist, though her wait times are terrible, is [...]

Family Life,
True Stories … and their owners. At least the irresponsible and inconsiderate ones. I’ve had a long day at the office with a lot of frustration and insanity.

Family Life,

Work Life In honour of the appallingly frustrating afternoon that I had dealing with telecommunications customer service, I am posting a couple of rants I wrote in 2003, when I was having a difficult time with some IT tech support people. I’m still too mad to write about today’s insanity. Maybe tomorrow. ——————————————————————————————- 28 May 2003: Stop [...]

weight-loss I just need to rant for a minute here. For the record, not all fat people are out there scarfing down enough food at a single meal to feed a third-world country for a week. Not all of us are slobby couch-potatoes who watch our expanding waistlines with complacent tolerance. Not all of us are [...]
