The Debate Over “Retarded”

by Steve on 3, March, 2010

I’m really tired of the ongoing debate that’s been raging in recent weeks about the “R” word (I guess it’s more impactful when we only use the first letter of words).  Not because I don’t agree that there is the potential for offense when the word is used or because I think it’s okay to [...]

Acid syringe ‘could spell an end to dentist’s drill’ | Mail Online

This sounds cool and I’m all in favor of anything that’s faster and involves less pain.  However, the idea of squirting an “acid” filled syringe into my mouth (or anywhere near me really) sounds like the scheme of a Batman villain and makes [...]

This is one of the reasons that I didn’t like the idea of vaccines being given in the schools.   It leaves the door wide open for mistakes due to folks not being familiar, or being overwhelmed, with the job that they’re trying to accomplish.
It’s also a prime example of why as a parent you [...]

Epicurious.com is a great website with lots of great tools, recipes and articles.  This week I ran across their “Seasonal Ingredient Map” that show what fruits and vegetables are in season at what time of year broken out by month and state.  Cool tool that makes eating (and serving your family) the healthiest, freshest foods [...]
