A good chunk of my medical posts last year were about fixing my teeth. I’ve had really poor dental health over my lifetime. I’m ashamed to admit this. But I am proud I overcame my fears and made fixing my teeth a priority. I’ve still got a long way to [...]

Henry at Binary Dollar has it available now. The Oscar edition is pretty funny. Love the Hasselhoff – Queercents icon. The subtext is killing me with laughter.
I’m busy this week, so I am not going to point anything specific out.
Please note that I’ll be hosting next week. Your submissions are welcome through the form at [...]

Fascinating brief history of usury and lending. It’s offered up by the Americans For Fairness In Lending. It’s an advocacy organization with some well known names like Consumer Reports.

I’m not finished yet, but some old, but I tagged some good articles. I don’t know when I’ll get around to [...]
