I cried last night
I never cry, never really have. I'm just not a terribly emotional person, sometimes its helpful in my job.
Last night I cried, not over a patient or a particularly sad incident but simply over the fact that I had to be there.

The Windows 10 Operating System took away Windows DVD player and the tech support could not remotely access my PC because of my firewall.
It's only logical that I do not bother getting Microsoft to fix what they broke when they upgraded my PC. If I had it my way I would have Windows 10 and keep all the programs that Windows 10 removed. I had Windows 7 but I wanted the apps and so I upgraded

It was his son. He had wandered into town unexpectedly.

A 40 gallon gas water heater full of water can weigh around 450 to 500 pounds, so why does this bother me?
The floor was getting wet before we replaced the water heater, gas powered in our home, and now there seems to be some concern by myself, due to the floor making a bit of noise as I walk across the threshold between the hall and the kitchen where that 400

Nightmares can be very vivid and seem real to the dreamer, even if they last only a few seconds in real time but seem longer during that time.

You can't just pay for your candy bars and expect them not to melt while you drive back home, if you live in Texas, that is.

But If I bough
