I've been a pen pal to a prisoner once before. Being that I am gay, this person in prison is also gay. At the end of the day it is not a good idea to have a relationship with convicts/ex-convicts. I've been there and done that. Being in prison is...

Um I had hemorrhoids but never like that! Had them removed and I was literal pain in the a$$ for the next few weeks! Lord have mercy, a trip to the bathroom was like going into the torture chamber!

I've been a patient myself many times. Do feel at times uncomfortable for asking for the dummest things like ice water. What I've done was to bring a pitcher to the nurse's station and ask for ice water, just to save them a trip. There were times...

Picture this..... Two new teachers in public school..... One teacher were told that he'll be teaching a class of gifted students when in fact the students are anything but gifted. This teacher goes in and taught the students as if they were gifted. ...
