About Me!

I'm a bit of a control freak. I'll admit it. But because of this stroke, I can't be in total control of my PCA program anymore (which might be a good thing for me over all because I have trouble prioritizing cleaning and laundry and other housecleaning tasks in the face of all the horrible things in...

Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise (the theme of Today)!

This is the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day and according to http://www.worldaidsday.org/about.asp, 40.3 million people are HIV-positive worldwide in 25.8 million people are HIV-positive in sub-Saharan Africa alone. That's outrageous! Here in America we supposedly have the best healthcare system... Sign in to see full entry.
