When I was 10 years old, I was convinced that all new moms were given a handbook of Snappy Sayings for All Occasions as they were packing their bag in the maternity ward, because all the moms said all the same things.

The memorial moments shared by Mountain Pointe High School students on Tuesday, Dec. 18 are irreplaceable. Standing next to a best friend and a stranger, surrounded by people you see, hear, walk, talk, and live with everyday, you could feel the tinge in the air.

On a recent Sunday afternoon, while checking out some football sandwiched in between the mandatory first, second and third quarter naps on the sofa, I became acutely aware that the pre-Christmas marketing blitz is in full swing and is designed to convince you that trying to live without a certain product would be a huge, life-altering mistake. This particular Sunday, it seemed the focus was on the latest portable electronic devices to include tablets, laptops and phones.

When I was 12, I watched the movie “Cujo.” Wow. I couldn’t sleep for a week. The perception that St. Bernard’s are friendly rescue dogs was definitely tarnished by the actions of Cujo. All of us have had some encounter with an unbalanced house or stray dog that has put us on the defense. Learning HOW to handle an unbalanced dog’s actions BEFORE they occur is the key to staying calm and bite free.

I had my stitches removed this morning. It has been two weeks since I had major surgery for malignant cutaneous desmoplastic melanoma on my upper back/lower neck. Sounds ominous right? It is. The surgery took five hours. The surgeon removed an area about 3 inches in diameter and about an inch deep. The incision is about 8 inches wide. This has been the biggest health challenge of my life.

Think about being hungry. Not the “it is 1:30 p.m. and I haven’t had lunch yet” hungry. I’m talking about real hunger, like not having but one meal a day. And maybe that goes on day after day. And maybe you are watching your child go hungry.

Tina Hakimi graduated from Mountain Pointe with a love of math and science but thought she would pursue a career in marketing. A quick conversation with her parents made her realize that obviously wasn’t the best fit for her. Now studying biomedical engineering at Arizona State University, Hakimi has a soft spot for kids who might not be able to have that same discussion with their own parents and realize where their talent lies.

Supporters of legislation to let employers refuse to provide contraceptive coverage for their employees are reworking the measure to overcome privacy concerns and save it from possible defeat.

In the opening scene of “A Thousand Words,” the camera pans through a shattered house. Broken picture frames and furniture occupy the floor. The audience then hears the voice of Eddie Murphy, informing us in a grave tone that he is going to die. At first one might assume that Murphy has gone down the Liam Neeson route and made an action thriller. That thought is quickly diminished, however, as Murphy appears on screen with a piece of duck tape covering his mouth. From there on, “A Thousand Words” is the exact kind of light comedy we were expecting.
