This is just a very short post, hopefully to be replaced with a much larger one today or tomorrow. On Tuesday my hip and leg started hurting. By Wednesday, I was crawling out of bed on my hands and knees. Having no insurance coverage, I was also stressing all the nasty “what ifs.”

However, from my husband’s last (laid off) job we did pick up the COBRA coverage. On Monday, I’ll be heading to the doctors to see what the heck did I do to myself. (more…)

Yesterday I promised you a truly eye-opening and heartwarming story for this post, but first my recap (rant) of what went down last night during the Vice Presidential debate.

First off, my understanding ever since grade school (no earlier, ever since the first time your parents asked you a direct question), you answer the question. Only kids and people with something to hide dodge a direct question.

Alzheimer’s Memory Walk

But a devastating fact is that Alzheimer’s is a disease that strikes many, wiping all memories and impacting families.

The Alzheimer’s Association would like to make us all aware of the fact that raising awareness and money for research should be upper most in all of our minds.

The Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for research.

They are looking for volunteers of all ages to “become champions in the fight against Alzheimer’s.” With more than 600 walks in communities across the country, a typical walk is 2-3 miles. They hold these walks on weekend mornings in the fall.

You, too, can volunteer to “walk with a purpose” just click on the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk link featured above for more information.
