In reading several new videos on YouTube I found out that Diane died of pneumonia. I've had pneumonia a couple of times and it is no fun. Plus, she had suffered for years from Bolemia and had hereditary skin cancer. That is why...

Heading for the big smoke today

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382658) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Oct 18

'The big smoke’ was always the phrase we used if we had to go to the city. I guess the phrase came about from all the wood-burning stoves of the time. I made an appointment for a skin cancer screening test. It seems a reasonable...

I don't wear suntan lotion

Tony Lawrence @pcunix (210) • Middleboro, Massachusetts 14 Oct 15

You may think I'm nuts, but hear me out. Your skin is a very important organ. It absorbs things you put on it and I don't trust suntan lotion not to have things in it that are harmful. Very recently, for example, it was found...
