Protect yourself, family from pneumonia
Under doctors' orders, American singer and actress Liza Minnelli and Canadian folk singer and songwriter Bruce Cockburn recently were forced to cancel multiple shows on their ongoing tours because of severe bouts of pneumonia. Both performers are in their mid-60s and, fortunately, are doing well now, although Cockburn's recovery took a little longer due to an extended hospital stay for a partially collapsed lung.
Mysteries still surround Lyman Hall's life

Tell kids what to do, don't reason with them
The National Association for the Education of Young Children and I don't see eye-to-eye on many things - maybe anything. We don't even agree on a definition of "child." For example, they believe children are capable of being reasoned with. I believe that if a person is capable of being reasoned with, he or she is no longer a child.
Don't be afraid to talk to your teens
October is "Let's Talk Month" and although this column has already addressed teen issues several times this year, these are topics that can't be discussed too often. These issues play such a huge role in the lives of families.
RH's juke joints and honkey tonks
Country music, friendship, alcohol and cheating love set the tone for a typical honky tonk. There, one could find all this along with amplified music and brawling. The lyrics of most country songs focus on lost love, adultery, loneliness, and self-pity.
Time to put away the nitrogen
This year has been a curious one. We jumped right from winter into summer and skipped spring altogether.
Just tell it to me straight
When it comes to how much a spouse wants to know about their soldier's deployment, there seems to be a fairly even split. Some prefer to be left in the dark completely, while others would like to hear every detail, no matter how gruesome.
Women march up ladder of success
By Shirley Hiers "A woman's place is barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen." At one time, this was thought to be the only acceptable occupation for a woman. The good news is women have overcome that stereotype. Today's woman can hold her own in the workplace, along with raising a family. When the first generation of women entered the workforce, they succeeded by imitating the ambitious and aggressive traits of men. They began playing by ...
Kids who do their best are good enough
One of the differences between parents of the 1950s and today's is that the former did not care what grades their children made in school. Mind you, they insisted that their children do their best, but if a child's best was average, his parents accepted that and did nothing to make him look like a better student than what he was. Today's parents, as a lot, seem to have great difficulty accepting less than A's ...
Early detection is key to cancer survival
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And since one in eight women in the United States will get breast cancer this year, this month is a great time to highlight and promote the importance of regular mammograms and other methods for early detection of breast cancer. After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common kind of cancer in women.
Let's be happy for each other
It's fast-approaching - the return of our soldiers. Some are no longer counting down in months, but in weeks. Some will return before Thanksgiving, some more before Christmas and still more after New Year's. And you can always tell whose husband will be home soonest, because their relief is palpable. When asked the generally dreaded question, "How much longer?" they smile brightly, and the answer comes out in the form of a relaxed sigh.
Caring forparents is difficult task
Parents are such a huge chapter in our personal "book of life." To so many, they are the one constant that stands firm when nothing else will. Parents have always been there for us. They are the mold by which most of us have been shaped.
Georgia shrimping gone wild
By Shirley Hiers The full moon hung low in the sky, stirring emotions unlike other natural phenomena. The harvest moon brightens the paths for lovers, dreamers and sailors, and heralds the arrival of fall. It's a new season – new beginnings and endings. In the days before electric lights, farmers depended heavily on bright moonlight. The light of a full moon allowed them to extend their workday long after the sun had set. (The harvest ...
Mealtime should not be a constant battle
Q: My 2-year-old daughter eats a few bites of supper each night and then wants milk. So I give her milk. Then she refuses to eat anything else. We take the milk away and attempt to bribe her to take a bite of this or a bite of that. Sometimes we make her something else to eat, something we know she likes. What can we do to get her to eat without hassles? I know ...
When talking is not enough
Imagine, if you will, that you're in the middle of writing an essay for a college class, mentally compiling your grocery list while noticing that those five pounds you lost exercising has returned in the form of Bunny Tracks ice cream, motivating yourself to add an extra half mile to your run to combat said effects of dessert indulgence, planning a Sunday school lesson for teenagers that will hopefully not be deemed boring in the ...
