    My artistic aspirations do not include posthumous fame. I want to share my work now, even if to a small and receptive audience. I’d like to write. I’d like it better if a few readers enjoy my work. Besides mom, I mean.

    Reviews on WebMD indicate that all the folks taking Humira would recommend it to their friends. It’s a 5-star drug. I guess the blind, deaf, and dead people felt pretty good before they took their final dose.

    Choosing Life Insurance: Consult with a professional

    "... I disagree with Saikit that children do not need life insurance coverage. Children need life insurance for many reasons, not the least of which is that a parent who loses a child may need several months or years away from work to deal with grief.

    This being an election year, much of what we hear and see in Washington is showboating and has little actual relevance. The bill’s authors have no intention of supporting any such bill beyond the headlines they garner.

    "...People are talking to other people every day about the service, products, and experiences they have. Droves of people- millions and billions of people are talking to each other – about businesses they love, like, and hate…on the web, on FaceBook, on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Amazon."
