"I knew that if I did not find a way to get rid of my problem area, I might not make it back on the squad," she said.

Nurse Jackie: People come in here on the worst day of their lives.

@morninggloria: Add to this list police athletic leagues, all-city teams*, and community center leagues, and there are multiple opportunities for girls interested in sports. Most importantly, they don't break the bank, and transportation is often included.

@linnyt is a walking cliché: I'm not advocating the death penalty; I am opposed to it in all circumstances.

I'm not an advocate of the death penalty. I AM however, worried that this man will wind up getting 40 years, get out on parole in 20, and return home to live out the rest of his life as a hero.

@J.D.Regent: If disruption leads to an inability to function, as if every moment of every day were permeated by such thoughts.
