Status check ~ 29 June 2017

I’m at work, for the only day this week.  I’ve spent the past five days thinking about my recently-departed aunt (who passed away this past Sunday, around 2pm US Central Daylight Time), and I’ve reached a place of peace for her. I see two patients today, both wonderful and very familiar.  I like to call … More Status check ~ 29 June 2017

Maybe the 21st century *doesn’t* suck…

I’m one of those hopeless nostalgics, the ones who lament about the fading away of the “good old days” and desperately, futilely tried to bring them back or recreate them somehow. Bah!  Humbug. 😉 I think I’m finally beginning to embrace the newest Turn of the Century.  In fact, I’m almost beginning to feel comfortable … More Maybe the 21st century *doesn’t* suck…

Readers ask: ‘I love your blog pictures! How do you find them?’

I’ve gotten this question/compliment (thank you!!  Really glad you’ve enjoyed) more than a few times over the past year or so (mostly on my Asperger’s/autism spectrum blog), and since I’m feeling way more constructive today than I have in the past couple of days, I’ll tackle the project of coming up with a semi-coherent answer. … More Readers ask: ‘I love your blog pictures!

Favorite quotes :)

Well hell, I never believed in making lists in any particular order as a general rule (with a few exceptions), so why start now? 😉 “Joke ’em if they can’t take a f**k.” ~unknown (first heard from my partner) “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it’s time to pause and reflect.” … More Favorite quotes 🙂

Never buy anything advertised on television 

If I could identify one “Rule” To Live By, this would be it.  As far as I’m concerned, it’s the one “hold-back” Robert Fulghum left out of his literary classic, “Everything I Needed To Know, I Learned In Kindergarten”.  And it should be known that every accomplished master never reveals all; they usually keep a … More Never buy anything advertised on television 

My go-to ‘survival kit’ of herbal remedies ~ Part 2 of 2 :)

This is a continuation of the previous post, which was simply too cool to be limited to one post.  😉 The previous disclaimers still apply – educational/entertainment purposes only, not intended as medical advice, consult with your licensed healthcare provider, yada yada. So, without further babbling, here’s Part 2. 🙂 Holy Basil (aka Tulsi) – … More My go-to ‘survival kit’ of herbal remedies ~ Part 2 of 2 🙂

My go-to ‘survival kit’ of herbal remedies ~ Part 1 of 2 :)

It’s been a while since I’ve actually done a “helpful, educational” post, so I figure hey–it’s time. 😉 Before I get started, I have to issue my usual disclaimers.  Things like “even though I’m a doctor, I’m unfortunately not yours, so this isn’t intended to be medical advice” and “this is for ‘entertainment/FYI purposes’ only” … More My go-to ‘survival kit’ of herbal remedies ~ Part 1 of 2 🙂
