Some people really like to go overboard when it comes to re-using items around the home. Just as "out there" are some of the ideas that people have about how to clean certain things. Things are disposable for a reason. I don't think it's necessary or prudent to waste time cleaning certain...

<i>Introduction and Background</i> Most mainstream commercial-grade food products contain additives of some sort. Simply put, an additive is anything that is not naturally part of the food. In other words, they are something that is added to promote flavor, appearance, smell, shelf-life, even...

I was never told that I couldn't do something. Despite being told by doctors that I might not live to see my 10th birthday, my parents never discouraged me from doing things based solely on what "might" happen because of cystic fibrosis. At the same time, they encouraged and guided me in the...

Just thought I'd let the cool upperclassmen know that this little freshman has been hospitalized. But no one will care, since I'm not one of the cool kids.

<span style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I found this story online and was very impressed by how well it metaphorically describes life with chronic illness. Those of us who live each day with CF sometimes have a hard time explaining to others what exactly it takes to maintain a sense of normalcy. If...

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to look on something with a positive attitude when you're not stuck in the middle of it? Seeing as how I've been having a good run of health lately, I thought I'd share with you a little song that I have written about just a few of the "pleasantries" that are...

Okay okay okay. This has gotten to the point of being crazy. Before we take another step on this wretched path that seems to be strewn with eggshells, can we please drop the issue from the CF carriers post.<br> <br> <br> Plenty of hot buttons were pushed on all sides, and just about everyone has...
