Even local music lessons have gone virtual. Using Zoom, Facebook Live, Instagram and YouTube, local instructors have pivoted business models quickly to stay relevant while keeping people in shape and skills sharp.  Rhapsody School of Music is a few weeks into its virtual lessons, and while teachers and students have had to adapt to some hiccups, for the most part things are going well ..read more

Oh #%@* Yes I Cuss
North Phoenix News

2y ago
Confession: I cuss. I’m not exactly proud of it, but I’m not ashamed, either. In fact, it comes in pretty #%@*-#% handy right now.  Swearing was taboo in my strict Catholic upbringing, and I’m not just talking about the “Big-7.” I remember getting a whack from Aunt Mamie, right on the front porch, because she heard me say “toilet water.” I was only 5, but even then, I thought to myself, “What the #%@* is wrong with saying toilet water?”  I picked up the basics in elementary school, and took in some very helpful lectures when visiting other strict Catholic homes. There was a time I c ..read more

by Ciatlin Coulter
2y ago
The demand for grocery delivery and pickup service has ramped as people strive for minimal physical contact. As of this writing, most area stores offer pick-up and delivery, but most of these services are currently delayed one to several days. It pays to plan ahead, be patient, and be flexible with brand substitutions for items out of stock. Orders may be placed online or through each store’s mobile app. Safeway/Albertsons www.albertsons.com Albertsons in Tramonto offers both pickup and delivery options, but the Safeway in Anthem appears not to (the same company owns both).

The Strange Case of the Doctor With No Patients
North Phoenix News
by Chris Prickett
2y ago
We’ve all experienced it. We punctually arrive for a doctor appointment, only to wait 45 minutes so the doctor (or maybe just the physician’s assistant) can give us the 5-minute once-over, then it’s off to the next patient.  Sucks, huh? Well, you know what’s worse? You’re about to journey into… COVID-Zone. I expected the routine visit to my hip doctor to be canceled due to all the physical distancing, but no, my doc was still seeing patients. I arrived at a patient parking lot that was empty, though the employee lot on the side was full. As I walked through the door, I observed both side ..read more

Anthem Residents Make Healthcare Workers’ Masks More Comfortable
North Phoenix News

2y ago
When a local emergency room nurse turned to the AnthemStuff Facebook page for help with a solution for her and her nursing staff’s sore ears from long hours of surgical-mask wearing, the Anthem community responded in a big way. Lindsay Mays had just gotten off a shift with sore ears from her mask when she spotted an article about a Boy Scout in Canada who had developed ear guards with a 3D printer to make wearing masks more comfortable for healthcare workers. The scout has since shared his template publicly. “I had heard some of the male doctors on my shift teasing about some of the solutions ..read more
