    If The Election Was Held Today

    If the presidential election was held today, who would you vote for? I haven't picked anyone and, honestly, I'm not fond of any of them. I just don't think any of them has what it takes to get the country out of the mess it's in.

    Arsenic in Chicken Meat

    According to an article I read, the FDA has known for many years that arsenic is added to chicken feed, but they said it was eliminated through feces. It appears they've changed their minds and it is not eliminated, but that chicken meat containing arsenic in low amounts is safe to eat. My...

    I Don't Believe This

    I just found out that my friend's ex-wife is hitting him up for money frequently and he's giving it to her. He already pays child support and she's on government assistance. She's capable of working and her parents or mine, or even I would be happy to watch the kids, but she won't work. I'd...

    Grandparents And Parents

    Since I've been a grandfather, I've learned how important it is for grandparents to back up the parent's decision, even if we do not fully agree with it. Some of my friends don't do that and it causes a lot of problems between them and their kids. The grandkids pick up on being able to go to...

    Dietician Or Nutritionist

    I thought a dietician and a nutritionist are the same, but I was reading today and they aren't. Their training is different. A dietician is trained within the established medical training. A nutritionist is trained outside of the established medical training. Would that make any difference...

    2012 Election

    Is anyone paying attention to the early developments for the 2012 presidential election? I'm not going out of my way to, but I've seen that it's the same faces we had last time: Palin, Romney, Paul...and then Donald Trump. I sure do hope we see some new faces in this one.
