Does anyone know if there's a diabetic kid video game out there? Like, if the kid can hit the good food, they get points -or if they hit a good food, they explain WHY its a good food (or bad food) for diabetics (a little cup of ice cream vs a 1/2 ga...
What KILLS me about this is that the kid is young and young people should be more adaptable than a 57 year old woman. He needs to learn (hell, EVERYONE) good habits NOW that will carry him through his life. What if you made it a game or contest w...
Thats what I was thinking too. It may be time to get Child Protection involved. CPS will prolly confer with his Endo though, and will render any complaint useless.
Yeah I hear that high waters thing..... I'm a girl but 5'9" and a 36" inseam, I ended up sewing my own scrub bottoms. Then manufacturers came out with 'tall". Now you've got me thinking a a side business of manufacturing MANscrubs for the MANLY MAN. ...

If it isn't a felony, you may be able to get whatever it is expunged off your record. Will take a lawyer, but it might be worth it. I have some "stuff" on my record: attempting to steal a street sign on Halloween when I was 19 (yes, it has come up)...
Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!! This is a HOT topic for me. When I was a CNA: 1. I was walking a patient when the nurse I was assigned to came out of a patient's room, and told me to put that pt on the bedpan. By the time I got the walker pt back to bed, ...
