BICYCLE DAY FOLLOWED BY 420? CALL A DOCTOR, STAT
April 20, 2018 by
Call a doctor and ask about the medical qualities of acid and weed. Maybe your doc has some non-medical experience to share, but probably won’t. If your medical provider isn’t in the loop, boomerpdx will shine some light. No, not crack the sky light from the heavens above with a big voice […]
GYM MEMORIAL FOR BOOMERS
April 17, 2018 by
The first thing you notice in a new gym is the pecking order. Strong guys group together. Old guys over there. Young men pumping out the reps. Ladies all over the place on every piece of equipment. Women have the gym all figured out. Guys not so much. Over time a few […]
BREAST CANCER: A MOTHER JONES FACEBOOK POST ASKS IF ALCOHOL IS A CAUSE. WHAT ARE OTHER CANCER CAUSES?
April 12, 2018 by
From motherjones.com: Susan Sontag once wrote that telling people about your cancer diagnosis tends to fill them with mortal dread.
