Being a police dispatcher was the hardest job I've ever loved. There was generally balance. As many funny/humorous things happened as serious things. One of my favorites was the hotel robbery.

I'm home this morning from my one hour "Silver Sneakers" Yoga Class. It's held at a local fitness center.
I'm a member of the fitness center at no cost to me because I have a very wise insurance company. They provide a free membership to the insu...

I had the distinct pleasure of working for the Oneida Tribal Police Department from 1995 to 2000. It was an eye opening experience. The Oneida are a Matriarchal Society. They honor their elders. (As an old lady, I couldn' t help but believe I was ...

I don't know how to put a big problem in a few words. When we talk about domestic violence, the tendency is to think in terms of the extreme, death.
