Based On A True Story

The husband is trying to deal with some anti-vax people in his family.  The main one should know better because they have medical training.  However, they are hard-core Trumpers who apparently have lost all sense.  He sent them an article […]

I used to talk to nurses who brought their pets into the clinic as fellow educated medical professionals. I can’t do that anymore. What happened? Over the last few years the people who declare themselves to be nurses have started […]

I travelled last week with a person who is using a wheelchair. This wasn’t our first time doing this. I’m not sure if the treatment of her is worse this year or if I’m just noticing it more. She is […]

Try not to let this shock you but people are being stupid on the internet again. My sister-in-law, who is a person of the conservative political persuasion and an elementary school teacher, posted something saying that no matter what you […]

I love Twitter. I know that people talk about it being a cesspool but my feed is tightly curated. It is fun and a joy to read. I don’t follow anyone who is fighting or being nasty. It is about […]

I love Trae Crowder.  I’ve been a fan ever since he started getting known for his Liberal Redneck videos.  He articulates the way I often feel.  Also, he knows the pain of being a Tennessee football fan as do I.   […]

I’m an Olympics Junkie. I’m also living in my dream world right now. When I was a kid (back in the last milennia) you could only watch what they showed on TV. I’m generally not interested in the stuff they […]

I was in a hurry to get my vaccines. Veterinarians and staff were federally allowed to get our vaccines with other health care workers because we are essential workers. However, Ohio wasn’t having any of that nonsense so we had […]

The Wall Street Journal published an opinion article on December 11, 2020 that has me livid. It is called “Is There a Doctor in the White House? Not if You Need an M.D.” It is written by some dude who […]

Would you believe that I didn’t watch ANY election coverage this week? I tend to be a bit of a political junkie, especially on Twitter. I early voted and then watched and waited. I talked about what I did on […]

Hey! What’s up? It has occurred to me that I haven’t written anything about COVID life since we first started this thing. It seems that for the sake of posterity or whatever I should talk more about what it is […]

The husband and I are suckers for a home improvement show.  We don’t have HGTV at home so when we go on vacation somewhere with a TV we have a tendency to binge-watch and get notions in our heads.  This […]

This weekend I went to a march in Akron in support of Black Lives Matter.           It was peaceful.  The organizers threatened to beat down anyone who wasn’t.  The mayor was there.  I think it was […]

Facemasks   I’ve bowed to necessity and started to make some homemade face masks.  I have a very limited supply of surgical masks at work.  I decided to make some for home use. This is the pattern I used.   They […]

We tried.  We really did.  Veterinarians are considered essential in this outbreak.  We stopped people from coming inside (and it was lovely!).  We washed our hands.  OMG, did we wash our hands.  I normally wash my hands at least 40-50 […]

Greetings from the land of lockdown! I didn’t think I’d ever say this but I’m actually really impressed with our Republican state administration.  They came out early and hard on coronavirus and shut everything down.  So what does that look […]

I work with several people in their early to mid-twenties.  One thing that I’m just amazed by in them is their level of fear.  Do I just know a group of particularly scaredy-cats or is this common?  Let me give […]

At my office we subscribe to the local newspaper.  We do this because of the police blotter.  Crime is rampant in this town because of drugs so most the stories are tragic but there is also a whole lot of […]

It was World Kindness Day yesterday. We had a 100 lb plus dog come in for his first exam at our clinic.  He previously had had a toe nail trim.  There were no comments on his file so presumably there […]

On April 6, I attended a Woman’s March sponsored event called Power to the Polls.  It took place in Cleveland and focused on the importance of getting people out to vote.  This event was the first of a tour of […]
