It will be a bittersweet Thanksgiving for one same-sex couple.

My son Craig, who is now 24, was born about six weeks early. He was in the neonatal unit at Eastern Maine Medical Center for three-four weeks and received incredible care. I saw this video and those first-year memories came flooding back to me -- from the first time that my wife held him, with all the tubes, to bringing him home on monitors and frantically running into his room to check on him whe

Tobacco use remains the single-largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the US.  We all know that, right?  Then why do 43.8 million Americans still smoke?  That's nearly 1 in every 5 adults -- and I have counted among them at several times in my past.

Here's yet another sign we're letting Christmas completely take over November. According to a new study, the average woman has already started getting ready for Christmas party season.

You do it, I do it and will continue to do so. In fact every one has done it once or more. We all hit the snooze button on our alarm clock.

My mom often tells a story about a time when our family was extremely poor.  Poor to the point that they foraged for food and used dandelion greens and hunted rabbits to keep us in food.  She remembers going to the grocery store and having just enough for some dried beans and an onion.  She was going to make a big pot of red beans to keep us eating until payday.

All of October is dedicated to Breast Cancer awareness. November is the time for the guys.

Admit it, you don't know either. Spring forward...fall back...ends/begins. Why do we have to change our clocks anyway? Aren't we just taking some off the front and moving it to the back and vice versa?

A new study says that increasing personal debt will force today's kids to keep working past the age you retired plus 12 years.  How depressing!  If you intend to retire at about 70, think of what your kids will be facing when they are forced to work till they are 82.

Today I was sitting among friends and a young lady came up and told me that she and her husband were expecting their first child. "It's a boy!" she exclaimed as her face beamed with joy.  You may think that this is selfish on my part but a little piece of me was jealous. I have wanted that to be me for over 30 years now.

Could it possibly be that the stigma attached to online dating is ending?
