  • I just want to praise and thank the Lord cause my son Ivan, has been trying to enlist in the Navy, but was denied 4 times due to a kidney history.

He will be leaving in a few weeks to do his swearing in and pick his job, then go to boot camp. I am one happy Dad, and very speechless.

  • Word of the Day: Anamnesis.

    NOUN 1. The remembering of things from a supposed previous existence (often used with
    reference to Platonic philosophy).
    2. (Medicine) A patient's account of a medical history.

    Example Sentences.
    1. "Yolanda didn't believe in anamnesis, so the mysterious memories must have been from her
    childhood."
    2. "The nurse collected Mr. Collins' anamnesis while the doctor continued his checkup."
    3. "Julian had the oddest feeling he was experiencing anamnesis and wondered who he may have
    been in a past life."

    Word Origin.
    Greek, late 16th century

    Although it sounds similar to the word "amnesia," "anamnesis" has a different meaning, which is reflected in the words' opposite roots. "Amnesia," the term for a partial or total loss of memory, comes from the Greek "amnēsia," meaning "forgetfulness." "Anamnesis," meanwhile, derives from the Greek "anamnēsis," which adds a prefix to give the opposite meaning, "remembrance."
