Buyer Beware - Weight Loss - Diet Products
When I had to lose 40 pounds in 2001, I had no idea what to do or where to start, because I have never had a weight problem before.

In every industry in America, there are snake-oil salespeople - so how does one choose from the good and effective products and from the fakes and the frudulant?

Remembering Manuel...(Alzheimer's/dementia)
Heart-breaking is the only word I can use to describe Manuel, who was a patient the same time I was a patient, at the VA hospital in 2005. At the time, I knew nothing about dementia...that awful disease that takes away the mind, and leaves the person hopelessly in the dark!

Jerry - Are You Crazy
Being in the humor business for over 40 years, I've been asked if I'm crazy more times than I can count! One day, I was working on a project, and I needed to list many of my favorite things in life, and as I wrote the list, I was beginning to wonder if I, indeed, was crazy!

Music: The Beginning of Rock and Roll For Me - (1955)
NOSTALGIA: A LITTLE TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE! It was the mid-1950's, and my family could not afford a television set, so we listened to the radio. And, there were two peculiar and unusual voices I heard on the radio at that time...the voices of Little Richard and Wolfman Jack! Many feel like the song, Rock Around The Clock (Bill Haley and the Comets) got it all started in 1954! THE BEGINNING OF ROCK AND ROLL! WHAT A GREAT TIME TO GROW UP! And, in the year 2006, rock and roll - and...

The English Language Is All "Greek" To Me
For your mission, if you decide to accept it, you will construct a complete sentence with one of the following words. "their; they're or there." Should you fail, you will go straight to jail - you will not pass GO - and, you will NOT collect $200.00!
