Mother’s Blog About Mentally Ill Son Goes Viral

A mother has written a blog that has been passed around the internet via Facebook and in links in several other blogs and news articles. In it, she discusses her fear that her son will someday do something similar to what Adam Lanza did in Connecticut. It is an eye-opening piece of writing. Yesterday, I wrote a blog that clarified that not all people who have Asperger’s Syndrome are violent. Some can, and do, express loud, verbal, outbursts or may push someone away from them. Typically, the violence that people with Asperger’s Syndrome express is not premeditated or planned out. … Continue reading →

Toddler Toy Storage – I Am Doing it Wrong

Last night, a sort of light bulb went on in my head. I have been doing a lot of reading and research lately about home based preschool for Dylan, and for the past couple of days I have been looking at a lot of information about the Montessori method of schooling. In fact, I am beginning to get a very strong feeling that I am going to go that route with Dylan’s home based preschool experience. The light bulb went on when I realized that the environment in which Montessori education, whether at a school or in a home, takes … Continue reading →

Doing Genealogy Wrong Leads to Prison

Making a simple mistake in your genealogy research is understandable, and generally harmless. However, intentionally doing genealogy wrong, in an effort to illegally make money for yourself, can result in a prison sentence. That’s exactly what happened to a women who was filing false tax returns with information she found while doing genealogy research. In April of this year, Shannon Kathlina Grimm, who lives in Montana, decided to do some genealogy research. The problem was, she wasn’t searching for information about her own ancestors. She also wasn’t helping other people fill in their family trees. Instead, Ms. Grimm was looking … Continue reading →

Barking Orders

Wouldn’t it be interesting to be able to playback the things we say throughout the day? I think it would be pretty enlightening. For whatever reason, there was this moment I experienced a couple of days ago when I really heard myself. And I didn’t like what I was hearing. The realization hit me that I give a lot of instructions, particularly with my youngest child. “Put your shoes away.” “Feed the dogs.” “Turn down your television.” “Do your homework.” It’s not that giving instructions is wrong. But is most of our communication spent barking orders? I had to ask … Continue reading →

Life Insurance – You’re Doing it Wrong!

Posted on by

A life insurance policy is designed to provide financial protection to your family after you have passed away. Like other insurance policies, you have to purchase it while you are still alive.

Genealogy – You’re Doing it Wrong!

Posted on by

Genealogy is the study of family. Usually, it is the study of your own family, unless you happen to be a professional genealogist who is helping someone else do her research. A woman in Montana decided to use genealogy research to file tax returns for dead people. This is not the intended purpose of genealogy research! Shannon Kathlina Grimm, who lives in Montana, decided to do something unorthodox with her genealogy research. She is not a professional genealogist, but she was searching for specific information about people who were definitely not a part of her own family tree. She did … Continue reading →

Toothache Lawsuit Could Stifle Medical Gag Orders

Do you remember the recent situation where a man was being fined by his dentist for every day a negative review he wrote about her remained online? A lawsuit that has been filed as a result of this situation could, potentially, put an end to medical gag orders that were designed to suppress online rants. It all began with a toothache. A man in Maryland, named Robert Lee had a toothache, (from a painful, infected, cavity in his tooth). He required dental treatment. He selected a dentist named Stacy Makhnevich, who required him to sign a privacy agreement before she … Continue reading →

The Atkins Diet – I’m Doing It Wrong!

When I started doing the Atkins diet, I jumped in with both feet. My interest in losing weight, as quickly as it was safe to do it, was a big focus. I never actually read the Atkins book. Since then, I have skimmed over some of it. It turns out that I am not doing this diet exactly right. Once I commit to a particular goal, I give it everything I’ve got. While I sometimes do a little bit of research before I make the decision to embark on a potentially life changing journey, this is not often the case. … Continue reading →

Another athlete…another disorder

Posted on by

As impressed as I was with an athlete coming forward with the news that he was suffering from depression, this week’s athlete coming out as being diagnosed with a disorder moved me even more. This week Brandon Marshall of the Miami Dolphins came out stating he had Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). He discussed his treatment, and his desire to be an advocate. He is shining a light on a disorder that many shun, and don’t like to talk about. Many in the mental health field would do almost anything to avoid working with a patient with BPD. Personality disorders are … Continue reading →
