10 Painless Ways to Live Below Your Means

Leading a richer life with less consumerism — From nearly our first moments of sentience, we’re subject to the siren call of consumerism. We’re bombarded with pleas to acquire bigger, better, shinier things. We’re urged to measure our place in society by our material possessions. My wife and I combatted the pull of materialism.

Taxidermist Nurse Charged With Amputating Patient’s Foot

A bizarre story with 10 baffling details — Occasionally, a news story appears chock full of nutso details but lacking adequate explanation. This November 23, 2022 story of the nurse accused of amputating a patient’s foot for display in her family’s taxidermy shop is one such example. These ten gruesome highlights of the article raise plenty of questions: 1. A 62-year-old man in Wisconsin fell in his house. The heat cut out. Exposure to the cold caused severe frostbite on both feet. He entered a nursing home where hospice nurses expected imminent death from causes other than frostbite.

What If We Knew Our Expiration Dates?

A retirement guide for the terminally aware — Those who read publications like “Crow’s Feet” likely weigh the important senior questions. Collect Social Security at 62, 67, or 70? Long-term care insurance — yea or nay? What if we knew how much longer we’d live? First-time novelist Nikki Erlick provocatively explores this question in her 2022 book, “The…

Matt Saracen, Smash Williams, and the Dillon Panthers redux — Times are tough for Dillon Panthers football. Tammy Taylor left her high school guidance counselor job in a huff, incensed that most of the school budget goes to the team.

The Power of Female Doctors From a Male Patient’s Point of View

Better communication, less testosterone — My unrepentant cardiologist soured me on male doctors many years ago when I had a brush with death related to a flawed medical decision. I didn’t know if women made better doctors than men. But from that point on, I vowed to choose female doctors whenever possible. My original, factory-issued…
