Beware the Flu Shot!
It's really bad this year. Our intensive care unit at the hospital is brimming with flu sufferers. It's not the flu so much that puts them there but the secondary pneumonia that hits them very hard. Don't get sick.- tuold

Bad Nicotine Buzz

My sons (24 and 26) have just started to smoke pipes and I notice they don't seem to be content unless they are producing volumes of smoke. I'm trying to get them to gently sip the...- tuold
