“Finish it out” is the mantra of my trainer, Jerome. It doesn’t matter what exercise I’m doing, he’s always pushing me “Finish it out Vickie, finish it out.” If I’m doing a lat pull-down or a one-arm row, he doesn’t want me stopping short.

Gatekeeper means exactly what it suggests – the job of the gatekeeper in any business is to manage who gets to enter the gate – or not. Certified Legal Nurse Consultant Jane Hurst, RN, CLNC, shares her secret recipe for getting through the gate.

P.S.’s were more common before the digital age, but Melissa proves they work in email as well as in letters.
I’ve never been on Match.com or any of the other Internet dating sites for two reasons. First, I got married and was off the market before such sites existed. Second, I’m still happily married.
