Posted by chica with issues under health and wellness issues

It seems that for everything that we say we are doing for “our health,” we are doing at least two things that are bad for our health. Now, I do not have any scientific information to back up those numbers. That I know of, no studies were done  on it. It just seems that way […]

Posted by chica with issues under general issues

I took a short weekend trip to see the Broadway play Deuce starring Angela Lansbury before it closed on Sunday.
