When contract negotiations went sour between Presbyterian Health Plan and the University of New Mexico Hospital, more than 13,000 Presbyterian plan members were denied access to providers and services at UNMH.
Dear Dr. Peg,While shopping at my local grocery store, I stopped by the pharmacy to measure my blood pressure. The machine told me that it was 127/75. Is this a healthy blood pressure?
Let’s talk ice cream! In my younger days, Baskin Robbins was the place to go for delicious, high-quality ice cream. True, it cost a bit more than the local drugstore, but the difference was all in the taste, texture and smile on my face. The few extra cents back then was well worth it.
I was driving to class last week, and I pulled up behind a little white Nissan with bumper stickers plastered haphazardly all over the back of the car. As soon as my eyes focused, it was clear that the little guy crouched over the steering wheel had amassed the most disturbing collection of hateful bumper stickers I have ever seen.
There are so many things in life that I will never understand. Curbside check-in at the airport, people who don’t drink Starbucks and most contact sports are just a few of them.
Diversity. It’s a word that many would somewhat cynically — and as some would insist, more truthfully — associate with Democrats more than Republicans. However, the great irony is that for the 2016 presidential race, the trend appears to be reversing.
If you own a cell phone, like 91 percent of all American adults, I don’t have to convince you of the benefits. Especially if you own a smart phone, you know how much easier it can make your life. In fact, calling it a phone is like calling Handel’s Messiah a song.
Editor, First, a brief study in any period of human history gives hard evidence that a belief in God does not promote morality and goodness.
Editor, Cow’s milk is for baby cows, human milk is for baby humans. Animals in the wild do not drink the milk of a different kind of animal. No adult animal in the world drinks milk. Just as all animals are not alike, the milk from cows, goats, pigs and humans is not alike.
Remember Clippy, Microsoft Word’s talking paperclip assistant? Let me guess – even after all these years you still feel an inexplicable hatred for that intrusive, know-it-all piece of metal?
Editor, Regarding the letter by Caedmon Holland published in the February 4 issue of the Daily Lobo, the writer championed rationality and the scientific process, and claimed that there is no “rational reason to believe in God,”
Editor, Regarding the letter by Caedmon Holland published in the February 4 issue of the Daily Lobo, the writer championed rationality and the scientific process, and claimed that there is no “rational reason to believe in God,” nor is a belief in God necessary to “…lead a ...
“Eric broke up with you because you wouldn’t give him a blowjob?” I asked Ashley a few days ago in the gym. “He said that I couldn’t satisfy him physically and that he would just end up cheating on me if those needs were not met,” Ashley said. “So we broke up because I didn’t want to give him oral sex multiple times per week.” Is this what dating has come to? Are these our options with men: oral sex or GTFO?
Lately, it seems that Ukraine can’t catch a break. The recent Russian invasion of the Crimean peninsula is merely the latest trial added to that country’s tribulations, which include a month of widespread clashes between the now-defunct pro-Russian government and the pro-European Union opposition.
I thought we were friends. Allies, at least. When I sent you a letter about the dangers of bronze wolf statues, you printed it. When I sent you a letter about the dangers of people wearing gang colors such as red and blue, you printed it. When I sent you a box of my hair and fingernail clippings and some poems I wrote, you didn’t immediately file a restraining order. Later you did, yes, but you waited a while, as if unsure of your own feelings, which I’m sure you were.
It’s that time of the year again. Winter turns to spring, and back into winter again. The sun shines, the wind blows, the pollen flies and the rain falls. You might have heard the saying, “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.”
It’s hard to believe that spring break is only two weeks away; so much has been done and more has yet to be done.
Editor, The Daily Lobo’s coverage on Wednesday of what they called the “Immigration Film Festival Debate” was largely fair. However, I do have to criticize their headline “GOP: Immigrants are a threat to U.S.”
Editor, This is an open letter to Catholic students and parishioners of the Aquinas Newman Center. It is known that the Dominican priests who have been there for decades are being moved elsewhere and new priests are moving in.
This time every year the office gossip turns to the Academy Awards. “What’s the Best Picture gonna be this year?” “Who will win Best Actor?” Somebody comes up with a coherent argument for why they hate the Oscars, and everyone rolls their eyes and shrugs.
