Serious Talk by Susan S. Patient Expert

The older I get, the more I have adopted the policy of live and let live. This modus vivendi does not apply to government or institutions, of course. No, those must act a certain way that is only to the good of all or most. But for loved ones in my life, I see myself increasingly lenient in letting them be who they are. Is this laissez-faire pa ... Read on »

Laissez Faire by Rational Jenn Healthy Living Professional

According to this article from The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), which also appeared on here (think it's available to all), Starbucks would not let the words "laissez faire" appear on one of their customizable gift cards.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I had a busy but great one. It was the week of the Perry Fair in Georgia, and Saturday evening we went to hear Chris Daughtery. I don't know who all likes him, but he is a wonderful singer. I don't think he really showed his range when he was on AI. He's a great performer also. I definitely got my exercise whil ... Read on »

Not Fair by dancing65roses Cystic Fibrosis is not fair. It's just not fair. I'm not talking about me, because right now, I am fine. I am not currently suffering from my depression (I say not currently because I firmly believe that it will always be there - and I need the meds to correct the imbalance in my brain.

To be fair... by Chrystal .. Patient Expert

TBaA wasn't that bad. Yes, it's cheesy as all get-out, but the messages were on point. That second episode I mentioned actually came on today so I watched that one too. Apparently, in 1997 at least, Chris Burke was a recurring character. He was an angel named Tyler. (Perpetuate stereotypes much? I can't help but think of this great family ). B ... Read on »
