In My Life

Schick Quattro Razors, the piece of hand-held (for lack of a better word) machinery that will tear your flesh to pieces. Forget nicks, scratches, or tiny cuts. I had all those last week and after owning the Schick for only a week by that point. My most recent bout with the Quattro and its supposedly smooth blades has resulted in a 3-inch slash and burn.

In The News

It's one of those things that makes hearts drop: Donor organs don't come easy but one was pitched after a 280 mile trip to the hospital--via three vehicles.

In The News

Maggots devour lots of stuff but that stuff is usually carcasses and decaying life--not humans trying to stay alive. What most consider some of the foulest creatures on earth are ironically proving to rank among the cleanest. Or at least the cleaners.

In The News
