Microchipping: It's Not Just for Fido Anymore
by
JANEY GOUDE
I'm not a big news buff, but by now my husband would have clued me in on something this sensational. Amazingly, he hadn't heard of it either. I just read an article on the use of microchips in Alzheimer's patients. Yes, I said IN. The same technology

Balance in the Workplace: Liar, Liar Pants on Fire
by
JANEY GOUDE
I was in a car wreck two weeks ago-hit broadside in the rear passenger door where two of my girls were sitting. The policeman insisted an EMT check out my girls then shared, "The lady in the other car wants the paramedic to look at her ankle. It's really
