White Woman's Guilt
I feel oddly guilty. I have ordered online several times recently, just ordinary necessities. But, oh dear, Christmas is coming. I saw on the news that companies are short staffed for shipping.

The Unsuspecting Health Nut
Turns out, walking helps reduce risk of Alzheimer's. Walking. Not toning or other exercise. One in eight Americans get Alzheimer's at some point, so... it's good to pay attention to prevention ( Read more... )
