Milk Sugar Intolerance
I am hearing that more people are suffering from lactose intolerance. These people suspect that they cannot digest milk sugar in their body. This intolerance can affect anyone at any time when it has never bothered them before. People can go for years without a problem, and then all of a sudden he or she experiences gut-wretching abdominal/intestinal cramping, nausea, and diarrhea.

Retirement: The Next Phase in My Life
As of this writing, I am a 62-year-old black man living in New York City. I am not trying to brag. I am just telling you, my reader, my perspective in this article. I am not really a happy person right now as I will discuss later, but I feel that you need to know who something about the speaker here.

Parked in My Car on a Sunny Sunday Morning
When I was in college, I studied English which, obviously, included the study of prose and poetry. To be very honest, I was not a huge fan of poetry. That is not to say that I hated it. I meant that I favor the prose more than poetry. There are a few poems that I do like. One of them is the following poem by Robert Frost.

9 Things That Cause Gray Hair Before 30
When it comes to our hair, we're so cautious of keeping it in tip-top shape. We'll wash our hair twice or three times a week (no more!), try not to put so much heat into our hair often, use the best products for our hair, and we limit the amount of times we dye our hair. Especially at such a young age, we want to avoid our hair from turning gray and falling out once we hit our older years. And it's pretty easy for our hair to thin and eventually fall out.

Help!!
I need help (as if some of my friends already know). I am broke (and out of money, too, but that is another story for another day). I need to be fixed (No! Not “fixed” as in what happens to a dog). Oh nevermind. Let me just go on to explain my situation.

My Tribute to the Dead
I passed a cemetery today. No place in particular. As I waited for the light to change in my favor, I saw a cemetery. It was dark. Everything was encased in a shadow. It was lonely. It made me think, “Who was there?” No, I did not expect an answer, as I did not ask the question aloud. I did wonder, however, about a few things of this area of desolation. It was quiet enough for me to ponder.

Is There a Test for Dementia?
To date, there is no definitive test for dementia; however, if you have a loved one that is showing early signs of dementia, there are a variety of questionnaires, assessments, laboratory tests, radiological examinations, and cognitive tests that may help a medical professional establish a dementia diagnosis.

Life Begins At...
Well, I hit the 4-5 this year and the next turn off is junction 50. The world seems to be getting ready for it as well. I remember 15 years or so ago I was getting spam for penis enlargers and free entry passes to all night raves. Now it’s saga insurance and free eye/hearing tests for the over 40s. Or my favourite, female incontinence knickers, seamless so no one will know.

Five Ways I've Grown Better in My Old Age
I never thought I would live to be 30, because that was old, over the hill, and finished with living. I never stopped to think about the experience gained in maturity, nor did I believe my thinking would ever change. I was wrong.

What’s It Like to Be an Adult?
"No darling, that's for grownups."I can't pinpoint the exact moment this was said to me for the first time, but I can almost guarantee I was holding a mid 90s Smart Price can of cider...You've probably heard it yourself, whether it's been said to you, for you or by you, we can all agree it's a phrase everybody understands (even if they don't particularly enjoy hearing it..) But what happens when you go from being the stroppy kid in the shop to the onlooking adult paying for a crate of Carlsberg?
