Why do we grow old? What’s happening to our bodies with the passage of time? And at what age does a person officially become old? Those are some of the many questions that came to my mind when we started working on this season.
By Evelyn Preston, The Money Lady I’m sure that, like me, many longtime homeowners receive regular mailings offering to buy their homes, “as is,” no realtors, commissions, inspections, fixes, hassles or time frame.
Not for me, we may think; no fast talker is going to trick me out of my many years of accumulated equity.
I know what my house is worth…sorta…and I’ll bet I’m sitting on a pile of gold when I sell!
Making the decision to foster and maybe even adopt a pet takes time but it’s time well spent.
Fostering and/or adopting can be life changing for a person and a pet.
It’s literally a life-saving decision at a time when shelters are bursting at the seams, scrambling to avoid euthanasia and calling loudly for help from the community.
Senior pets, who make perfect companions for seniors, are especially at risk.
The Dual Passions And Journey Of Dr. Gerald Sydorak, M.D
By Dr. Gerald Sydorak
I was born in Krakow, Poland during WW II. Luckily, it was one of a few major Eastern European cities that was not destroyed by the Germans or Russians.
It still remains a pristine historical city.
My grandfather, Michael Sydorak, had come to the U.S. in 1911 prior to WW I.
He remained here until the major depression of 1929 at which time he returned to Eastern Poland (what is now Western Ukraine).
