A Good-bye Letter

A Good-bye Letter

Dear Healthcare System, This letter has been long in coming as it has taken me a great deal of time to organize my thoughts. The changes happened gradually, or at least my ability to notice them did, and it occurred like the proverbial “death by a thousand cuts”.   I went to pharmacy school to help people.

I learned that the average American takes way...

We wanted them to have fresh ground to explore, more nutritious food (not directly provided by us) and less mess. During our studies, we discovered that when chickens and rabbits are placed together, the rabbits may become calmer. We wanted a mobile chicken coop with a rabbit hutch attached and so the hubby designed and built the Chibbit (combination of chicken and rabbit)....
