“Good Night…Don’t Let The Bed Bugs Bite” - Joel Hendon

Bedbug Poisonings - Jack H. Schick
When I was a tyke, sometimes my mom said things that scared me. Maybe my imagination was a little too active, but I conjured up some horrifying mental images.

Little Rosemary - Dianne Lehmann
Last summer, we planted a tiny rosemary plant in our front yard. We had an open spot where a juniper had died. I dug out the roots, prepared the hole and put her into it.

Today, Laugh - Deborah Jackson

To Eat Meat or not to Eat Meat - Dianne Lehmann
From time to time, I become totally disgusted with eating meat. My husband, Bernd, gets that way even more often than I do. Lately even chicken has given him a problem.

Random Thoughts, Part 12 - Dianne Lehmann
How did I get to be so old? Do you ever ask yourself that? I can't really see a twenty something asking that question. I think it is more a question for the forty somethings and fifty somethings.

What's the Point of Some Cholesterol Drugs? - Terry Mitchell
I don't get it. Aren't we constantly told that high cholesterol is one of the main risk factors for heart disease?

On the Therapeutic Efficacy of Applying Osculatory Pressure to Wounds - Dianne Lehmann
Kissing boo-boos has been in the news recently. I was unable to find even an abstract for the study that prompted the flurry of reporting.
