Liver spots, as I pointed out so delicately and with attention to scientific verification in my last post, are not the result of liver problems. Those nasty brown clumps of melanin on light-skinned people are said to be a result of age-induced melanin clumping, or genetic inclination, that just happens to coincide with aging. This [...]

PMS Paintball

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on February 4, 2010 »

Hey! What an excellent idea. For those of us still suffering from the agonies and annoyances of premenstrual syndrome, ie., ourselves, our wives, or our daughters, what could be better than PMS paintball?
