Brass is a major source of lead, especially if it is worn down. We found it on this belt buckle, as well as the handle of a walking cane in our home and on a silver-toned hair clip. I've seen videos of people using similar swabs to test decorative dishes in retail stores as well.

I personally think it's a good idea to test anything that is suspicious and replacing the item as soon as possible.

We are offering $20-22 to start for a 20 hour work week. The hours during training are flexible, but would still need to fit within the 9-5 M-F business hours. The person who fills this position will transition into full time with benefits when they are fully trained over the next few months.

It's sportsball weekend and I just read that "The 4 final teams in the NFL playoffs allows SoftWave and they each beat a team that does not own SoftWave to advance to the semifinals! Also, each is acknowledged as one of the top 5 injury free teams this year!"

I can't promise it will make you an elite athlete, but it could make your tasks easier and less painful.

This weekend was a humbling reminder of why I do what I do 🙏

I was honored to be contacted by to help support his post-season recovery using

When an elite athlete at the highest level of performance reaches out and trusts you with their recovery, it’s never something I take lightly. It’s an honor, a responsibility and a privilege.

Recovery isn’t just about getting out of pain. It’s about cellular health, tissue regeneration, and giving the body the right signals to heal and adapt at the highest level.

Grateful for the opportunity, grateful for the trust, and grateful for the technology behind that continues to make a real impact—from everyday patients to world-class athletes.

Always staying a student. Always honoring the process. 🙏

While I need to stay open to serve the health of community members, I fully support actions to get ICE Out of everywhere. Abolish it, defund it, punish them.

As part of my commitment, I will be sending a donation to Migrant Justice / Justicia Migrante to help them to continue to support immigrants in Vermont.
