And my wife and I enjoy a good road trip: the podcasts (“West Cork,” this time), the pit stops and the way the miles roll by like life, slowly in the moment and then, with the steady application of foot to gas pedal, suddenly they are in the rear view. We treat ourselves, inevitably, to cheddar cheese Combos, a food we eat only on road trips, just as Food Network is a channel we watch only in hotel rooms. We read many of the signs out loud to one another, even though it is a thing our kids make fun of us for doing.

Recent research focuses on inferior screening as one of the reasons African American women are more likely to die of breast cancer than white women. For instance, Black women are less likely to get 3D mammograms, according to studies published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology and JAMA Network Open, and should be getting screened at an earlier age, according to Linda Goler Blount, one of the authors of the JAMA paper.
If these parents believe that you are overstepping (or if you have overstepped in the past), this offer could create a problem within their family.

“The placenta is like the black box in an airplane,” co-author Dr. Jeffery Goldstein, assistant professor of pathology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, said in a statement accompanying the research. “If something goes wrong with a pregnancy, we usually see changes in the placenta that can help us figure out what happened.”

“We’ve got moms and dads that don’t really have any place to go besides bedside on that unit, so the beauty of being able to add a Ronald McDonald House environment … for families to step away a bit, have a cup of coffee, grab something to eat, take a nap and just get away from the beeping machines and the intensity of the unit to take a break is a great gift,” said Holly Buckendahl, CEO, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana.

I suggest that you stop trying to understand this, and insist that he call you by name. Give him positive reinforcement when he does, and don’t respond when he doesn’t. (And, please, if he calls you “nothing,” then your response should also be nothing.)
To determine the amount of soil, compost, mulch or plants needed for your garden, first calculate the square feet of the bed you are working with. Use the following calculation to determine the square feet of a bed that is 10 feet, 6 inches long and 4 feet wide. All units of measure need to be the same, so convert any measurements that are in inches to feet by dividing by 12 (inches in a foot). Multiply 10.5 feet in bed length by 4 feet in bed width, which equals 42 square feet of bed space.
