    Weekly Wrap Up (Oct. 18 - Oct. 24)

    By wildone

    It has finally happened 😮  Friday I woke up and had to drive though slush and like a blizzard of snow coming down ❄️.  Which means that probably 50% of the people in our city don't have snow tires or proper all weather tires and probably never will have them. Then 25% haven't got their snow tires on yet  Luckily I'm not in either group. Now I know that probably the vast majority of our readers are in places where snow is seen very occasionally if ever. So you probably never have known

Ask An Author 3.0 #40

Apologies all around. I'm running a little late with posting, but I'm also a little under the weather. I blame the fluctuating temperatures. Sixty-five Fahrenheit in January, then back down to near-freezing? Nonsense!  But I'll tell you what isn't nonsense, and that's this month's interview for Ask An Author. We got GA's finest Signature Author when it comes to historical fiction, folks. Before I go back down for another nap, here's @Mark Arbour! • • • • • Mark Arbour 33 Stor

February CSR Feature: Just Keep Swimming by JJQuinn

Welcome to the 2nd month of 2025! Hopefully your year has started off well, but if not, you can always escape into a fictional world when you need a break.

Weekly Wrap Up (Jan. 25 - Feb. 1)

Oh well, at least February is only 28 days this year I find February the most boring month of the year. We are about to head into the -20 to -30 C or -12 to 18 F this upcoming week  That might be why I hate it. Have to tell my annual February joke too! If you are a farmer, you cannot look at it  No posting it in the chat below either   As I mention the weather, someone I know said I chose to live here . When I thought about it, I came to the realization at the age I am, I have chose

Diversity Exercise

Diversity is a topic that has been on my mind lately, which is perfect timing since it's the theme of our annual Poetry Anthology.  One of the things I love about my job is the diverse nature of the individuals I serve.  I've gotten a bunch of new referrals lately; many from cultures I am only rudimentarily familiar with.  So, I've been doing a lot of research to ensure I account for these individuals cultural heritage and beliefs when providing services.   I recently attended a continuing

Politics - They FAFO, we all pay

Yesterday, my clinic system had an emergency meeting. That's because we're an FQHC - Federally Qualified Health Center, and about 40% of our patient population has Medicaid as their coverage (insurance). Medicaid is how these people pay for their healthcare - everything from vaccinations to pregnancy care to emergency visits. Medicaid literally saves millions of lives from preventable deaths every year. The trump administration attempted to freeze all federal grants yesterday. And for a mom
