Disabled Adult Children
Do you enjoy your job? Two of my sons are disabled adults. My wife and I love them and will care for them as long as we are both able. We are currently getting reimbursed for their care. That is my “job.” Changing diapers every day is awful but at least I don’t have a…

Banned Words
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? Before I get into explaining why I don’t like a word and want to see it used less or not at all, I should emphatically state I am against “banning” words. I think censorship is a bigger problem than…
