Yes, but that’s not what I’m thinking of. Is it…getting some exercise? Yes, but that’s not what I’m thinking of. Give up? It’s….putting things away in the proper place! Zoikes, this (admittedly fairly insignificant) habit gives a disproportionate boost of happiness. Just this past weekend, I tried to find: The cord that connects my camera to my computer The headphones for my husband’s iTouch My younger daughter’s swimming goggles A copy of Patricia Clapp’s novel, Jane-Emily, for my older daughter (a terrific young-adult book, by the way) A business card I’d picked up at a meeting I attended three weeks ago The flight information for my upcoming trip A legal pad A pair of AA batteries My vi...

Linda Pourmassina.  Linda is an internist in Seattle and one of the finest writers in the medical blogosphere.   You can find her over at Pulsus where she offers commentary on an eclectic mix of medical goodness ranging from social media to the subtleties of patient interaction.  Really good stuff.  Check out The Internet and Delusional Thinking.  Beyond her blog, Linda’s Twitter output is the perfect balance of valuable links and dialog.  Put her in your feed and she’ll bring you good things. Chris Porter.  Chris is a surgeon who has been writing at On Surgery, Etc. since April.  This guy has an incredible voice and offers rare insight...

The history for the ceremony at UCD is even shorter. Sometime last year, the second year students in our program felt so strongly that UCD needed a white coat ceremony that they took it on as a gift to the class that followed.

The National Center for Health Statistics shows that 68.7 percent of Americans are overweight, with a little more than 34 percent being obese and slightly less than six percent being “extremely obese” (Reuters, 2009). With the amount of money being invested in gym memberships, exercise equipment, and personal trainers, you would think that more people would be losing weight. But many people who have invested money in exercise equipment and gym memberships don’t exercise on a regular basis.  Often, home gym equipment serves as a coat rack, or i...

The coat didn’t win.  It was too big for me,   so  a year or two later I decided to cut it down and restyle it.  Good intentions which never got finished.  As you can see from the photo below I  nearly finished it, but it has hung in my sewing room and the pockets have been used to hold things.   The Clinton Presidential Center is holding a “5Days of Giving” beginning to...

Also my long time nemesis. I hate her. She stole my perfectly good name and turned it into a joke. On her About Me page she says, “When you hear the name Elvira only one person comes to mind…” Excuse me? And what does that make me? Chopped liver? You might be thinking, “Gee, Elvira, why would it scare you to be associated, even loosely, with a s.ty, Vampira wannabe in a cheap wig? [Yes. Before Elvira there was Vampira (circa 1953), the first ever late night horror film hostess. She was featured in that wonderfully campy Tim Burton film 'Ed Wood', with Johnny Depp as the cross dressing Mr. Wood.] Anywho… I don’t really mind that much…anymore…but once upon a time I dreaded hearing my name mispron...

NHS staff will also not be allowed to wear their uniform out of work and ties will be prohibited in a bid to stop the spread of infections. Nurses will also be issued with a national uniform to make different types of staff more recognisable. The MOH has long ditched the “white coat” and it has also died out in the University Hospitals though students still wear them. They are impractical and very hot to wear in our weather. Ties are also a vestige of outdated and impractical doctors’ wear and as they harbour germs (how often do you wash your ties anyway?) ...

My son lies at my feet examining carpet fibres.“What it is?”“What is what dear?”“Dat fing on yur finger?”“My wedding ring, this one?”“No…..dah lil one which is being……bented.”“Ah well that’s the McEwen seal, for a Scottish clan.” I shut my mouth, drop a stitch and hear the pot boiling over in the kitchen.

You can buy them seriously cheap because they’re not the latest Gund or Ty creations. Winnie the Pooh, Elmo and Snoopy don’t live here. Instead you’ll find scowling turtles, polka dotted squirrels, chequered dogs, and animals morphed into something you can’t even identify. Is it a cheerleader or an owl? Whatever it is, somebody didn’t want it, and now it’s in a bin of rejected toys waiting forlornly for a new home. Shoppers snub them despite their desperate discount availability. What’s 50 cents for a new used toy? Do people ignore them because they’re used, thrift store stigma? I don’t see why it’s important to give a gift that has a...
