We’ve all heard that worn-out adage, ‘You can’t teach an old dog new tricks’. Nonsense! Of course an old dog can learn new tricks and older people also can and do continue to learn new tricks, additional skills, and enjoy fresh experiences. It isn’t a question of having the ability to learn something out of the ordinary, rather it is the desire to try something different or to pursue an interest that makes us want to attempt a new venture. Dogs are not stupid. Puppies learn tricks, commands...

The American Heart Association has a list of 18 healthy foods that are under a dollar. You wil...

To make matters worse, the Glasgow weather office informs us that La Nina plans to return, meaning the potential exists for another cold winter with above normal precipitation. Just what I d...
