Why Buying Lottery Tickets Are Worth It
I know the rhetoric and the statistics. I am throwing my money away. I agree, and you are right. But the one small thing that compels me to buy a lottery ticket every time, is Hope. There is a tiny bit of luck or chance in that little scrap of paper. But it’s my moment of Escape. I daydream my hopes and dreams in five minutes, forgetting my troubles. I sometiimes go into details, make lists of the the things I want or the places I want to go and see. I don't go overboard with a gazillion lottery tickets, let alone ten. I will buy one or two. I will buy five tickets when the jackpot exceeds the odds of winning the jackpot. I know one thing, if I play I know the odds are against me winning, but I do have a microscopic slim chance of winning. If I don't play, the odds are worse, I have NO chance of winning. Nada. No way in hell of a chance at winning that sweet jackpot. I will take that chance.

My Friend Asks Me, "Should I Marry My Fiance?"
This article is for the guys. I feel that women are more mature than men at the same age. The adage that "behind every great man, there is an even greater woman" may allude to this. I don't know any great man who wasn't in a relationship. I have had two friends of mine ask me this very question or some derivative of it. I don't know why they said it. Alcohol was involved. Come to think of it; they were both drunk when they asked me. Then again, alcohol has been known to act as a truth serum. Another adage comes to mind, "In wine, there is truth." Truth be told, how do you answer this question,"Should I Marry My Fiance?".

Your Wife Decides to get Implants…
Six months ago, my friend Brad called me out of the blue and wanted us to catch up. I thought that was weird. Brad and I grew more and more apart once he got married. Don't get me wrong, we were still friends, but as college roommates, we were best buds. We would call each other daily. Every Thursday night was Ladies Night, and we would always hang out at our favorite college bar. It was called ‘The Library.’ Every college student loved that bar for one primary reason. You can be honest with your parents whenever they ask, “where are you going, ” or “ Where were you last night?” I always answered my mother with a straight, guiltless tone, “At the Library.”

Feta: The Super Cheese
Photo by Kukuvaja Feinkost Feta is a traditional Greek cheese made from sheep's milk or a 70/30 mixture of sheep and goat's milk aged in brine. Feta made with sheep's milk is sharper creamier than cow's milk feta. Sheep's milk feta is lighter, smoother, and spreads easier than cow's milk feta. First of all, sheep's milk comes from land-grazed sheep, eating grass, wild herbs, and plants that grow wild in the fields. Land grazed sheep milk has a complex flavor profile. Sheep's milk feta is dry brined and is conducive to culturing probiotic bacteria. The probiotics within feta cheese add the tangy umami complexity to the cheese in the same manner as tannins and phenols do to wine. The probiotics elevate feta to its super cheese status. Some bacteria found on Greek feta are Lactobacillus Plantarum, Lactobacillus Brevis, Lactobacillus Coryniformis, and Lactobacillus Fermentum. These are common probiotics found in fermented foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, pickles, brined olives, Korean Kimchi, and sourdough.

Attention Bachelors: Act Now Because Time Is Running Out
Its been ten years since the day that my Uncle Gus passed away. He was a good man, all in all. My dear Uncle Gus had his faults; he was no angel. But, he had a heart made out of pure gold. I fondly remember he started to tell me one of the most important stories in my life. It was a story about his best friend, Mike.

But world leaders will not forgive or forget.

Work Redefined
Generation Alpha is entering the workforce with a different mindset. They were taken advantage of as teenagers and in college. They worked long hours to cover the outrageous expenses of going to school. And there was little to show after expenses. Money does not matter to them because they worked hard and they didn't see any money left over. Lifestyle and fitness is their goal. As long they reach a certain pay scale, Generation Alpha will not care if you throw more money at him. He values his free time, his freedom, and his lifestyle. Retirement packages and health benefits mean nothing to him. 401K? Is that an energy drink? The new generation is focused on "me". And you know what, good for them. I wish I had done it sooner.

Mediterranean Diet is More Complicated Than You Think.
Mediterranean Diet is More Complicated Than You Think. It's Much More than Olive Oil One instinctively thinks of olive oil when one thinks of the Mediterranean Diet. However, olive oil is only one component of the Mediterranean diet. It's like saying that If you go to France, all you need to do is stay in Paris. France is brimming with rich history, tantalizing flavors, and breathtaking beauty, from the French Alps to the French Riviera and the fine countryside vineyards.
