10 Ways To Reduce Christmas Spending
I’m still working on my ‘chemical’ research, but in the meantime, I’ve been doing a lot of preparation for the Christmas season.

How Can Eating 1 Pound Of Sweets Cause Me To Gain 6 Pounds of Fat?
I’m no mathematician. Nor a dietician. Nor a statistician. In fact, I’m not any kind of “ician” … except maybe a magician. Most magicians that I’ve seen turn handkerchiefs into bunnies, flowers into doves, that sort of thing. Me? I was able to molecularly transform one pound of food into six pounds of fat.
