Tuesday, April 29, 2003I finally got everything I was entitled toFor those of you who remember, my first BN blog was Personal Coaching. (Go to my member profile to find and read it.) As a part of the fee I paid, I get six Nightingale-Conant tape sets. There are people at NC that I love to listen to - like Brian Tracy, who does some wonderful things on time...

Well, I know that's true of me. If I ever have to go back on dialysis, I'm not going anywhere near even Medicare. If I can't pay for it myself, I don't deserve...

Back when I was on dialysis in 1978, one of the nephrologists (kidney specialists) who owned the unit told us a story about the founding of the unit. The most vexing difficulty in starting the unit...

(For the record, a "review" is the expression of an opinion about a work either of art or of literature, so The Blog Review is itself a work of opinion rather than...

Without divulging information rightly considered confidential, I've started to straighten things out with a listowner I've referred to in this blog before. I have also deleted all posts in this blog...

Ms. Price herself was inspired to write Inside One Author's Heart as the direct result of Eugenia Price Day, held on St. Simon's Island as a sort of community gratitude festival for Ms. Price's contributions to Island...

The author, herself a sexual addict, starts out the book by talking about her last day in the real world, before she enters treatment. She begins by detailing her last pre-treatment sexual encounter, with a man named Rick, and a...

I just thought that since Garfield left a thank you note in The Secret Life of Cats, you might want to hear from me as well. I'm really grateful that you've allowed me to climb up the rankings every time I post something here, and I...

It's written by the same woman who wrote Locked Up For Eating Too Much, Debbie Danowski, and a co-author who is an MD and a specialist in addictive disorders. It is the position of the...

(That's the chapter where a reader will learn to detect fraudulent cash and traveler's cheques for himself.) You'd be amazed at the ease with which fraudulent checks can be passed. One...
