About me - M. L. Kiser

Education > Education (Other) Is Catholic school better as an alternative: 1 of 5
The first school I attended was Catholic. My Mother's decision, mainly. She believed that I would be well-disciplined and educated with the best possible methods. It was located downtown and I could go to work with Mom and she'd drop me off at school; then I'd walk back to the bank where she worked afterwords and we'd come h... More..
Health & Fitness > Medicine Development Should we believe in potential cancer cures: 1 of 5
Over the years I have watched numerous family and friends die of some form of cancer. No matter how I tried to convince them that there were natural cures, it seemed that they were each that much more determined to trust the doctors and pharmaceutical companies. My uncle who was married to a nurse, believe that the only answ... More..

Personal Finance > Smart Spending How to save money on gas: 8 of 39
Boy, these days' gasoline prices have risen at an alarming rate to some insane extremes.

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Understanding and dealing with death: 4 of 19
As a small child, I lost my grandmother; my world; the greatest being that I knew. She was both of my parent's a large part of the time; she was a friend, a playmate, my security. When she had her stroke, she was moved from our home into my Aunt's home where there was someone to care for her round-the-clock and an empty room... More..

Folic Acid (B9) or (Folate), a water-soluable nutrient, is a major factor in cellular repair and the regeneration of tissue.

Health & Fitness > Nutrition & Health Issues Is pizza healthy?: 5 of 23
Is Pizza Healthy? Well it can be. It's all in what you put on it and how you make your crust and sauce. If you pile on a ton of meat and meat-by products it is going to result in clogged arteries and slower digestion. Not very healthy, eh? Likewise, if you add a ton of your favorite fatty cheeses to the pie you are not eatin... More..
Pets & Animals > Animal Rights & Issues Choice: People or animals: 2 of 9
People or animals? This is such an asinine question that when I've been confronted with it in the past I haven't even wasted my time in giving a response. However, in the past, it's always been a hunter, usually in my own family, who has asked the question. (The hunters usually go ahead and answer it for me.) If I had to cho... More..
Food & Drink > Recipes (Other) Recipes: Great seasonal spring recipes: 7 of 28
It's summer folks! There's no better time for a light lunch of veggie wraps. One of my favorites is this delicious wrap. I prefer to use the vegetable style of wraps, spinach or tomato basil with this recipe. It's healthier and doesn't contain as many carbohydrates as the standard flour tortillas. This is one of my favorite ... More..
