My mom flew out to LA (where grandma lived with my uncle) last week, and she and her brother mutually decided to stop trying to treat grandma ( Read more... )

I have it as my browser homepage, and usually what ends up happening is that I open my browser and read whatever happen to be the 20 posts on the first page, and then get caught up into other stuff and never scroll ( Read more... )
