Yes it's a grim title for a post. I have gotten side tracked yet again. Or am I? Look at the link . It makes for very disturbing reading. Somehow bureaucratic matter-of-fact reports are more sobering than sensational media stories. It is the Los Angeles County; Department of Children and Family Services' internal log of 98 fatalities in 2009 (through early August) among children who had passed through...

If you believe that laughing...

Life was always perfect then, but not now. Back then everyone was moral. They polished their shoes and said their prayers, therefore everyone was lovely, kind and thoughtful of others. But little Jan Moir forgot that there were things

By: Jette Kernion A few years ago, I wrote a Cinematical Seven on my favorite dysfunctional families in films. Everyone has a crazy messed-up movie family they love, whether it's the Hoovers in Little Miss Sunshine or the Bullocks in My Man Godfrey or the Corleones in the Godfather saga. I thought...

The winner of a free copy of Mr. Monk in Trouble is Abigail Beal. Four of Poe’s Deadly Daughters celebrate Thanksgiving or, as some call it, Turkey Day today in the United States; the fifth had a Canadian Thanksgiving in October.

Last week, we looked ahead to Thanksgiving with the family by showing you that yours is not the only crazy family out there. Sooner or later, we had to become a little more earnest, so today, as we're on the eve of turkey dinners, we asked for suggestions that give us, well, a little more love for the holidays. With a few exceptions, most of the books with a happy family theme are aimed at children....

Prologue This is not news: your primary care provider (PCP) has been listed on the endangered species list. Harvard Medical School has decided to no longer train primary care physicians – they are too quaint and old fashioned.
