With the passage of the Freedom of Choice Act, FOCA, looming like a deadly storm in the horizon, people are bracing for the worst. I have written my senators urging them to oppose it. And with my grandpa, uncle & brother having served to safeguard freedom, I think we have earned the right to ask, "If doctors, nurses & others will be forced by FOCA to perform or assist in abortions,

Just another day in banquet paradise...My favorite sales chick did it again. She booked a small group for 3 days, no big deal. Breakfast, lunch, dinner & all day breaks. Again no sweat. We refreshed their general session room along with the 3 breakout rooms each day, even though didn't use them until around 4pm each day. Then on the last day we got the curve ball.Around 7am in the morning

The phrase “You can do it if you just believe” has become so watered down to the point that people just roll their eyes when they hear it. They’ve tried it and it just doesn’t work for them.

It's funny how things turn out sometimes.I just got off the phone with Dr. Kelly. This is the doctor I mention here every so often. The same doctor I worked with for 2 years and later shadowed for a semester. He's the doctor that just so happens to be a Ross alumnus. (And to me, he's living, breathing proof that Ross is a good school.)The last time I spoke to him was 7 months ago in the ER of
Last week, we took a mini-tour of my TiVo Season Passes, but now we return to movieland. And, not to disappoint, I did watch a crime film.

His characters, their dialogue and his sense

When wiring anything in your vehicle that draws heavy current such as high powered offroad lights there are a few things to consider. Number one, make sure you use wire that is rated for the amperage that the accessories is going to pull. It is always better to have wire that is OVER rated rather than wire that is not rated high enough. If wire is used that is not rated to handle the current

I'm still suffering from writer's block. The good news is that I'm going on vacation soon. Well, not really a "vacation," per se, but down to Florida to see my family and to have unveilings for my mom and grandfather. (Note to the non-Jews, an unveiling is a ceremony where the headstone is uncovered. Tons of fun.)Hopefully all of that family togetherness will give me something to write about.
