You hate the way you look and feel. Nothing fits right, you avoid mirrors. Can't remember the last time your shirt was tucked in. You went through some drive thru for breakfast so now your whole diet's blown and there's no sense even trying today. You know what you should do, but you don't have time to do it. You know what yo... More..

Health & Fitness > Exercise & Weight Loss How to achieve a flatter stomach
1 of 5

I'm willing to bet that nine times out of ten I log onto my computer somewhere in the headlines of my homepage there's an article about weight loss and simple moves to a flatter stomach. I usually read them too; I like all the different ideas and usually incorporate a few. Somehow though, I think the vast majority of people a... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: My experiences at raising a squirrel

My family has always been animal people. Our house was always full with critters, some pets, some mending until they could go back in the wild. But, for the majority of my life, I was the child in these scenarios. My responsibilities included cuddling and petting. When I became the mother of a baby grey tree squirrel it was a... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Trash & Recycling Ways to reduce, re-use and recycle plastic grocery bags
5 of 12

Do plastic bags multiply under your sink, spilling and bulging out excessively as you search for other supplies that once had a comfortable home there? Eventually are you so frustrated with the excess baggage (literally) that you toss all but possibly five or so away, just to reclaim some sanity in the form of space? If this ... More..

Health & Fitness > Weight Issues Why do moms get fat?
6 of 13

Being a mom does NOT mean that one is or will be fat. If only mom's gained weight then that would imply that any woman who is childless does not face weight gain. We know this to be a false. And what about men? Where do they fit into the weight issue? Poor nutritional choices and lack of exercise is what makes ANYONE fat. Mom... More..

7 of 15

We all know and accept that certain food and food types just are not healthy. We know food has the capabilities to put on excess weight, clog arteries, and cause hyperactivity, but is the reverse true? Can a healthy diet reverse these adverse affects? If one is diagnosed with an illness should food be used as medicine? Food i... More..

Health & Fitness > Fitness Basics How to know if you are lifting enough weight
4 of 5

Sets, high reps, low reps, circuits, max load, failure, etc. etc. Wow! No wonder exercise can be so confusing. If I had actually been inclined to learn exercise jargon before delving into the wonderful world of weights I am not positively certain I would own iron. Now the question arises, how much weight should one use? If yo... More..

Health & Fitness > Health Care Recognizing first-, second- and third-degree skin burns
13 of 14

Not surprisingly, kitchen mishaps and sunburns are what most of us think of when burns cross our mind. They're common enough and aside from the initial discomfort we really don't think much of them. Causes of burns go beyond this, however. Dry heat (most household mishaps), wet heat, electricity, friction, radiation, and chem... More..

Free radicals are unfortunately produced naturally each and every time our cells use oxygen. Obviously, halting our oxygen intake is not a healthy option to stop this.
