Ebola, A Nurse’s Perspective

This is an awesome post about Ebola Virus and certainly explains it better than any hype I have heard on television. I have to believe, unfortunately, that the poor man in Dallas with Ebola exposed so many more people that mentioned. What about the airports, planes, etc? Did he shop in a grocery store?

So a few months ago the country was enthralled with the idea of a few patients, infected with the Ebola virus, coming to the United States. Up until this point, we had been safe from Ebola due to the fact that bats can’t fly over the Atlantic. Some people were completely indifferent, while others had seen Outbreak one too many times.

ECover Automatic Dishwasher Tablets Zero Review

I want to thank Naturally Savvy for giving me the chance to review this great working product!  Ecover Zero Dishwasher Tablets were my choice to try as I had been having issues with my other dishwasher products and also had a smell we just could not get rid of.

Checking in

Hi everyone.  I see Mariah is doing an awesome job and I really appreciate it.  I will be off and on for awhile as I am having major gastric issues including bleeding and getting sick a lot and the worst pain I have ever had.  I am waiting for a surgery date and until then I am on stronger than normal medications and am writing this morning because I am skipping a dose, already regretting! To top things off, Dennis, my husband needs spinal injections this Friday and next. Sigh, doesn’t stop. Prayers please for the Penfold household (and for Mariah’s as well).
