Protecting Your Virtual Life
My niece recently posted questionable information on the internet that appeared on my Facebook page because we were friends; after reading the content I immediately and secretly “un-friended” her.

Caregiver Stress and Burden: Becoming Your Own Worst Nightmare
Caregivers are happy, energetic, helpful people ready to jump in to lend a helping hand.

Urgent care centers a good option when you dont feel well

Using Meetup.com a great source for support groups
I know I’ve talked about support groups before but I’ve recently come across a new group as I was searching for a PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) group. The group is called Meetup and to explain, I’ll copy a few words from their website: “Meetup’s about using the Internet to get off the Internet. With [...]
