A caregiving review needs an expert. I am that expert and this is my review with help from Hunter Thompson. His famous quotes are care-worthy:
SOCIAL MEDIA MENTAL
June 17, 2024 by
Is social media safe? The Surgeon General says, “The answer is that we don’t have enough evidence to say it’s safe.” But there’s enough evidence for the sort of safety warning cigarettes come with? Why not be on the safe side, but not just for kids.
AGING PARENTS FROM BOTH SIDES NOW
October 23, 2022 by

HARD TRUTH FOR SENSITIVE PEOPLE
