Health & Fitness > Medical Concerns & Issues Should hospitals specialize?: 1 of 2
I live in an area where we are lucky to have a great many specialized hospitals. There is a stroke center, a heart center, a children's hospital, and one of the leading cancer institutes in the country. It's good to know that all of these are right in my own backyard. As a soon-to-be nurse, I know firsthand of some of the ben... More..

Celebrations & Holidays > Christmas Helping your kids writing a letter to Santa Claus: 16 of 26
I believe in Santa Claus. Well, not the round and jolly, red and white suited, Coca-Cola developed image of him, but more along the lines of St. Nicholas, and Father Christmas...the humanized embodiment of the spirit of Christmas. Despite all the argument against presenting an image of the jolly old elf to children, I believe... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Tales of delinquent pets: 20 of 32
Auggie and the Pig When I was little, we had a dog that I named Auggie. "Auggie the doggie", I called him- and that was probably a good thing, because this thing was so odd-looking that it was hard to know otherwise that it was a dog. He was what almost appeared to be a miniature greyhound, though I think he was just a mutt. ... More..

The first time I saw an aura, it was in Spanish class in high school. For some reason, I was glancing around the room and thinking about who would be most likely to be able to pick up on my thoughts, or read my mind, I guess. All of a sudden I saw a bright pink glow around one of my fellow classmates' head and shoulders, and ... More..
Arts & Humanities > Writing Tips Writing a journal and thoughts on writing: 16 of 25
I am twenty-three years old, and I already have an entire box full of journals. My present one is sitting on the dining room table as I type. Even blogs and online journals have never been able to win my heart like good old pen and paper. I remember the first "journal" I ever had, a now well-worn spiral notebook that's buried... More..
Relationships & Family > Marital Conflicts How to know when it is time to go: 31 of 48
As the oldest child of a recently divorced couple, I have to say from personal experience that "staying together for the kids" may be more detrimental than helpful. This is often stated as a reason that marriages that have already been shattered continue on for years longer than maybe they should have been. The truth is, kid... More..
