There is so much about this story that makes me go “wow.” First, somebody had a pit bull and they named it Scarface. To me, this sounds like they think of him as kind of mean. Maybe picking the name was random, or he had a weird scar on his face for some innocent reason …

A Different Type of Disability Etiquette Video
I saw this disability etiquette video which is full of supposed tips for us dealing with the public, rather than the other way around and after I found the description, I had a really good laugh. I got most of it, but the disabled parking spot scene, the bathroom stall scary music bit, and the …

I saw this article about what it’s like in the ER late at night, and it made me think. I know these things. I know the doctors aren’t just bumming around all day making you wait for fun, but boy is it ever frustrating. I still remember how frustrated I was when I had to …
