Caring for Aging Parents – The New Old Age Blog – NYTimes.com
It’s such a routine thing: A nurse wraps the cuff around your elderly relative’s arm, squeezes the bulb, listens with a stethoscope and says: “120 over 60. Very good.” Smiles all around (this was my 89-year-old father’s latest reading), because everyone knows that high blood pressure is a risky proposition.

The vast majority of job openings are never advertised; they’re filled by word of mouth. That’s why networking is the best way to find a job.

But networking isn’t about using other people or aggressively promoting yourself—it’s about building relationships.

Fighting Alzheimer’s With Functional Medicine | The Dr. Oz Show
Alzheimer’s disease, like coronary artery disease, arthritis and even cancer, is triggered by inflammation.

Diana Mercer: 10 Best Ways to Screw Up Your Divorce
Before I became a mediator, I was a divorce litigation attorney for 12 years. My nickname was “Jaws.” Litigation was fun–for me, the lawyer–but probably not so much for the clients who were paying a king’s ransom for a lot of stuff they insisted that needed to be done which I knew was counter-productive. If I said that at the outset of the case, I’d be accused of being on the other spouse’s side, yet after I followed the client’s instructions of “damn the torpedos ” after the fact I’d be accused of churning the case to jack up the bill. So 22 years later, I’m a full time mediator and as a result have the freedom to tell you how divorce litigation clients screw themselves and waste their money. Think I’m kidding? I was once fired by a client because I handed her husband a Kleenex after I made him cry at a deposition. Seriously.

It seems like just yesterday I was listening to my parents lament the changes that were happening in society. “What’s the world coming to?” were words that stuck in my mind as I was growing up. At the time, especially during my teenage years, I didn’t really understand or appreciate their concern. My parents were just old-fashioned and, to me, didn’t get it. Well the times have changed and I guess I’m now old-fashioned too because I keep asking myself, “What’s the world coming to?”
