I couldn't be a car-making robot
Car commercials are always interesting. They're not like perfume commercials. Perfume commercials live in their own contained universes where nothing makes sense, other than the sense of smell. Car commercials are rooted in our reality. That is the difference. Commercials for vehicles generally have to show you what cars can do. They can go fast, they can help you park, they can connect to your phone, they can maybe save a life. Sometimes in car commercials, they show us where they come from, and I don't know how difficult this is to sell to you, but...

Thankfully, my husband has always been a compassionate man with a lot of patience, willing to explain the ways of the world to me. As a young newlywed, I was innocent. Mom never delivered “the talk” and only asked if there was anything I wanted to know on my wedding day. By that time, I pretty much had it figured out. Dad believed his responsibilities in this area consisted of telling me, in general terms, what not to do.

It has been scientifically proven that laughter relieves physical tension and stress. Having a hearty laugh relaxes the whole body.

If we want to be happy and live longer we should continue to indulge in humor and laughter.

My mother purchased a Groupon for me for Christmas. Included in the Groupon, was a 60 minute foot and back massage. I should have known better. Last time my mother bought a Groupon we were led into the woods by a group from Deliverance to go ‘gator hunting’. What follows is a similar experience.

I’m pretty sure she just leaped onto the table. I can feel her creeping up with the soft paws of a leopard just before it disembowels you. It’s unconventional and disconcerting, but I remain silent and stoic, primarily because I’m lying stomach-down with my face jammed into a gap the size of an iPhone. And I’m not wearing a shirt.

Dear Mask, I know we've been together for almost a year now, and you truly are amazing! You've been there for me every single time I've needed you. You've held me tight at the most crucial moments in my life, especially at the grocery store when I needed you most. Honestly, you haven't done one thing wrong in our relationship.

As a kid, I loved gummies, those colorful chewy treats that held their flavor until they disappeared in my mouth leaving a tantalizing, sticky sweetness on my tongue. The best were those that started sour and turned to mellow syrup in my mouth.

I have an artificial part of my body — a marvel of engineering, science, and medicine that allows me to function almost as though the accident that pulverized my elbow had never happened.
Valerie KittellPublished 3 years ago in LongevityConsumer Warning: Do Not Steam Iron Clothes While Wearing
When traveling in our RV, I have started carrying a steam iron to spruce up wrinkled clothing that has been packed and squeezed into tight spaces. To be honest, usually we dress pretty casually, but on this day, it was Easter and we planned to attend church. I use a steam iron when we travel because it is small and portable plus there is no need for an ironing board. Clothes can be hung from a hanger over the door and steamed.
Brenda MahlerPublished 3 years ago in LongevityWhen I ventured to the Local Chinese Massage Shop
So a bit of a fun story for anyone who has a spare 36 seconds ...at my local shops there’s a “genuine Chinese” massage there..I resisted a visit there for awhile, as why do you have to mention you’re “genuine”...is there a “not-so-genuine Chinese massage nearby? Anyways...one day I relented.
