    We just went skiing and with a family of 6 we needed tons of ski socks! I bought all of our socks at TJ Maxx or Marshalls for half the price of the sports stores. All of them were great and kept our feet super warm. My advice is make sure you get socks specifically made for skiing and not...

    I work in a office as a nurse practitioner. My specialty is pediatric surgery so we are pretty laid back. Most days it is dress casual. My one bit of advice--wear comfortable shoes. I am on my feet nonstop all day and comfortable shoes are a must. Can you check out the office where you're...

    You are definitely not alone. About 2-5% of kids still wet the bed at age 10. 99.99% of the time there is no anatomical abnormality associated with it. It does run in families, and family members tend to outgrow it at approximately the same age. As others have already pointed out there are...

    If you look at the statistics, the majority of teens who get pregnant do not seek prenatal care (or consistent prenatal care) unless there is an adult involved in helping the teen navigate the system and prompting them to seek care. Most likely this bill would accomplish very little in terms of...
