Sex, Drugs and Metamucil
Ladies and gentlemen, we have been betrayed! Forget all the nonsense the medical establishment has fed you about healthy living and longevity. It’s all been a pack of lies and I have proof. Exhibit A: Next week The Rolling Stones--yes, the ones with an average age...
Happy Anniversary to Me
I’m sure I was like many other people during the recent Christmas season, hanging decorations, baking cookies and singing carols. Unlike some, however, I was also marking a very personal anniversary, remembering the Christmas twelve years earlier when my husband of 22...
