Courtney Mroch, You’ve Reached 10 Years in the Clear. What’re You Going to Do Next?
I’m going to Disneyland! Well, that’s one way and place I plan to celebrate my Remissionversary anyway. Actually, I had wanted to go to Disney World. In a strange twist of fate, that already happened this year too. So how am I going to celebrate […]

Not the News We Were Hoping For
It’s been pretty shitty around here. Pardon my language. I don’t normally cuss. Not that I think anything’s wrong with that. Mostly I prefer to come up with funny ways of swearing though. It challenges my creativity. But the last couple of days I haven’t […]
