I meet different and regular people each morning when I jog. And they all appreciate a warm and sincere "Hi!" no matter how stern or busy or unapproachable they may look. I once had second thoughts about greeting people I meet,...

Most Filipinos in Manila have been trained in the employee mindset--they study hard in school to have a good job someday. Chinese businessmen here are different--they've been trained from childhood to have, not a good job, but a...

lowlycook from what I observe, ACV reduces my cravings for food, especially fatty food. I now have the discipline to eat just enough. My guess is, it has something to do with your taste buds when the ACV touches your tongue.

I don't know how IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) sneaked into my tummy system but it's there. I tried various remedies, even doc-advised ones, to no avail. Then I heard about organic apple cider. The cleansing and healing effects...

It's amazing how sometimes our kids' laughter and playful shouts and voices seem to be impressed on the walls of our house. You seem to hear them even when they're away, and you miss them. My wife and I often talk about our kids,...

lowlycook it's worse when it's a close friend. just imagine--you'll never hear his or her voice again, the laughter, or see his or her smile.
