Under Appriciated Talents

The week before last I got one of *those* calls at the office. The number on the caller ID was my GYN, who I’d spent some quality stirrup/awkward banter time with just a few weeks prior.

Heart Bypass Surgery And It’s Unexpected Impact

Not much makes me want to bolt. Life has thrown me some pretty massive curve balls over time…as it has many of us…and I tend to take the hit and then put my head down and push through. So, that’s why I was the most surprised of all to find myself in a situation a [...]

Don’t believe what WebMD tells you about food poisoning

The usually alarmist posting style of WebMD let me down when trying to diagnose The Mc at 3am Sunday morning.
What their timid article about our friend FP should really say is: “Those suffering from food poisoning will frequently clutch their stomachs, beg for death and run unexpectedly towards any object that might [...]

dentata.

Ed Helms and I have something in common: we both had a baby tooth into our adulthood (well, and we were both born in Atlanta — but details, people). While he got an implant at 16, mine fell out naturally at 25 (and from further inspection, it looks like we were even missing the same [...]
