MODS: If this thread is in the wrong place, please move it as it's about CI blogs. Thank you. I decided tonight to delete the CI blogs I've read over the last few years. The reason being a simple one. I'm pissed off at what I'm reading and I realized that by reading these blasted things...

I don't know if you all remember or not, but, a year ago I posted that we were getting a new yorkshire terrier puppy. That didn't work out the way we thought it would for a myriad of reasons. Fast forward to this past June. We lost one of our pet Tebetan Terriers. My Dad is also very ill...

As some of you may know and remember, I've had life long sinus issues, and had a procedure done to remove polyps a few years ago. At the time, it was discovered that I also had a deviated septum, which I knew meant I'd need another surgery. At the time, I wasn't up to undergoing another...

I've been plagued by canker sores since I was a child. For those that don't know what they are, they are open sores that occur inside the mouth. Unlike cold sores that occur on the outside of the mouth, canker sores aren't contagious, but they sure are painful! I was curious if anyone has...

Hey guys, I got a comment on my profile that I wanted to address publicly. CCsinned simply asked me how I was doing. Well, not so great. I'm dealing with another wound that got infected. This one is on my left baby toe and it's deep like the other one. I've been taking care of...
