Notes from Dr Oz Interviewed by Rosie O'Donnell About What Makes Doctors Be Good to Patients and Not
Yesterday, which was the last Friday in January, I was fortunate to catch the last 45 minutes of the best show with Dr Oz I've ever seen, perhaps.

Senate.gov Contact Info, Including Phone List - Be Active
Links for US Senator contact information, below in an example of how I posted on Facebook to encourage people to be 'active' related to the SOPA/PIPA bills related to intellectual properties protection for United States businesses. January 17th had been a day of online protest, with over 7,000 websites 'going dark'; I opted to have Lumigrate stay 'live' but to not encourage any views via Facebook and Twitter as I normally do (most days). read more »

Petie the OTR is Back with a New Knee .... ouch!
I have been an avid skier all of my life. My skiing days ended when I took a bad fall on our stairs and broke the left fibula in 2003.

I am sure that I also twisted my knee and added to the damage with the lower leg/ankle's lacking it's usual mobility during the recovery process. Skiing injuries added to my weakened knee.
