Thumbnail image for Mainstream Media to Men: You’re Dead Inside

One of my favorite t-shirt designs has a picture of a TV with a hypnotized-looking person staring at it, and the caption, “Why do you think they call it programming?”

I just can’t bring myself to expose my family to all the [...]

The source of one of nature’s best pain medications, the opium poppy, thrives in your garden, and can be prepared in the kitchen with only some basic instructions for an all natural home remedy.

For this week’s Two-fer Tuesday, I’ve got two extremely different posts.

For a while, I was really getting down about my accident and the way my life instantly changed afterward.

Valentine’s Day is all about chocolate, according to my 4 year old.
I won’t disagree with that.
It might not be the whole point <ducks to miss the rotten tomatoes> but it certainly has become a huge tradition to give chocolate to your loved ones on February 14th.
