What can you do without the internet?

Tuesday

Guest post of the week by Brittany Booker

The other morning I was at a friend’s house and we were planning to look up some great places in the area to go eat brunch. The only problem was her internet was not working for whatever reason. Of course neither of us had charged our smart phones the night before so we were trying to conserve battery which meant that using our phones to look up places to go was out.

Maintaining Weight Loss - Keeping Busy

I have been trying to maintain my weight loss from last year - I lost 48 lbs. last year and then the holidays hit.  I ate and ate and then after they were over I continued to eat.

I have kept off about 35 lbs and have settled down with the overeating and am getting ready to get headed in the right direction again.

Lutheran Senior Services in St. Louis

Sunday

Lutheran Senior Services in St. Louis was recognized by the St. Louis Business Journal as one of the "Best Places to work".   They strive to improve the quality of care for their residents.  One way they do this is by implementing a program called Electronic medical Records Software.
