Things to Avoid if you have Acne

Originally posted 2019-01-14 17:00:16. Nearly 50 million teenagers and adults a year experience acne, the most common skin condition in the United States. Battling breakouts can be incredibly frustrating, because they can be triggered by a complex combination of factors you can’t control — including genetics, hormones and the climate you live in — and there is no quick fix.

You don’t need to take what I said out on my daughter

Originally posted 2014-05-12 12:12:38. This is part of what I said in an earlier post. For those of you not aware of what I am referring to here is the post http://wp.me/p4rZlU-c4 . So the plot thickens. My daughter tried to do the right thing and she went to tell her boyfriend’s mother, Happy Mothers Day. She bought her some flowers and headed over. She gave her a letter/note and the flowers and not sure what…

Making 28 more than special

Originally posted 2021-06-10 15:39:06. Hi y’all. Since my mom passed in 2018 my son’s birthday celebrations haven’t been the same. He will be 28 years old this year, on August 15th. I was hoping to make it a little different this year. I wanted to see if I could get him a t-shirt from every state of the United States and maybe even something from a different country. He likes word search books and goes…

Showerless Recovery

Originally posted 2020-01-17 18:29:33. As anyone knows during recovery from surgery you have limitations. One of which is taking a normal shower or bath. I was sent this box a few weeks ago and let me tell you, I am so glad I got it (so is my husband lol).

Alzheimer’s Research Showing Promise

Originally posted 2019-01-11 13:50:57. GREENVILLE, NC (WITN) You may know someone with alzheimer’s disease, or other forms of dementia.

But researchers right here in the east are working to change that and what they’re doing at the Wooten Lab at ECU could lead to a cure. At 93 there’s no doubt Doris Gardner has lived a full life. Pictures from…

When one door slams in your face you can’t wait until another opens

Originally posted 2014-05-05 14:03:04. OK, this post will be relevant to some…others not so much. My husband was in the Marine Corps, loved his job, but he wasn’t born a stick figure. There are some people who just are “built” bigger than others. He did his job and did it well. He just needed more exercise than some. So when your so-called “leaders” are more inclined to not PT (exercise) then it hurts others. He didn’t…
