National Nurse Practitioner Week
Did you know that a nurse practitioner (NP) can examine, diagnose, prescribe, treat, counsel and educate you on healthcare needs? NPs are different from other healthcare providers – they focus on the whole person when treating specific health problems and they educate their patients on the effects those problems will have on them, their loved ones and their communities. NPs have been providing primary care in the U.S. for more than 40 years. They are graduates of master’s, post-master’s or docto… Continue

Is Smoking Worse for Women?
Two recent small studies revealed that women may be more vulnerable to the carcinogens and other dangerous substances in cigarette smoke. In these studies, women who smoked were diagnosed at a younger age with lung cancer and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) than men who smoked. The women even smoked LESS than the men in the studies. In 2000, more women died from COPD as compared to men according to Dr. DeMeo, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and… Continue

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?
