Last month, I had a bit of a phone snafu. For some odd reason, my home phone wouldn’t get a dial tone. I unplugged the phone and took it to each of the other jacks in the house. No dial tone on any of them. I then called BellSouth from my cell phone to report [...]

Eye Candy on Idol
Laugh if you will, but I am a huge fan of American Idol. The show has found some real talent - Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Josh Gracin, Fantasia, Bo Bice. And I’m sure I’m not the only one who has noticed the serious eye candy they happen to bring to the show each season. Last [...]
I’ll Take the Med Combo, Please!
The doctor appointment yesterday didn’t go well. The med combo that I had been taking for the past three weeks didn’t do anything to improve my intraocular pressure. Back to square one! I’ll continue to take the Xalatan that I’ve been taking for the past couple of years, and I’ll replace the [...]

In a Funk
I’ve been in a funk for the past couple of weeks. It’s nothing personal, but I just haven’t much felt like talking to anyone. I just want to be left alone. I don’t want the pressures of any obligations outside of work.
I took a break from NBF for a few days last [...]
MA Wal-Marts Ordered to Stock Morning-After Pill
On Tuesday, the Massachusetts pharmacy board ordered Wal-Mart to stock emergency contraception pills at all its stores in Massachusetts. Massachusetts is the second state to require the world’s largest retailer to carry the morning-after pill.

Bring On the Bubble Wrap!
Ever wondered how Bubble Wrap came to be?
