A Dirt-Cheap Way to Get Rid of Those Facial Sags and Bags
A few weeks ago, I looked in the mirror and saw…a pachyderm. Okay, that’s a little extreme. I’ve gained a few pounds but not that much.

In Bed With Dr. Wally

How to Survive a Cancer Diagnosis

Our Little Foxes
Note: For those of you who watch Turner Classic Movies, this story has nothing to do with the 1941 Southern potboiler starring Bette Davis called Little Foxes. I highly recommend this awesome flick, especially if you’re into watching greedy family members tear each other apart.
