I love reading. Books are my escape, my love, my life. I can read a 1200 page novel in just under a day, if you gave me the chance. But, these days my hobby is becoming a minority. People just dont enjoy reading anymore....

I've seen a lot more "how do I use this app" type questions since we've had an app now for what? About a year? So, If for no other reason, I thought I'd post this so that I can copy/paste the link to the newer users when...

I am pretty much heart broken right now someone i thought loved and cared about me has let me down badly... when you think someone loves you and suddenly realize they obviously don't it can really hurt so i thought i'd do...

This is it. The end of the world. Instead of murder in the first degree, we're killing each other with the words we say. Anger and resentment from all sides. I feel so helpless as I stand back to watch the destruction...

1. My patients. A lot of my patients have lived lives that most people can only dream or read books about, but these people lived it. An old patient of mine was a fighter pilot in WW2. He still remembers everything he did...
