My Ozempic Experience
I’ll admit I was overjoyed over the arrival of GLP-1 medications. Ozempic, Monjauro, no matter the brand, just the knowledge that a silver bullet had finally arrived was exciting.

Tightening the Belt (Dumb-dumbs)
There are things in this world that I will never understand, no matter how many times they’re explained to me. Excuse me while I climb up onto this soapbox to explain them.

Freeing the Whales
After the next few weeks, there will be no more whales in captivity in Canada. It’s a long, slow process to safely transfer the remining belugas from Marineland in the Niagara Falls to aquariums in the U.S..

Tanmaxxers Maximizing Skin Cancer Risks
We did it when we were young. But we didn’t know any better. Humans know more now and I, for one, wouldn’t dream of doing it today. I’m talking about tanning.
