Some things come with age that are good, such as wisdom. But sometimes, there are more negative aspects of aging. Of course, the aches and pains are a given. And another thing that’s difficult to avoid is lentigo. When I was younger, I remember many called them liver spots, but today, most refer to them…

For the last day and a half, the word I keep hearing on television is shocking. People are shocked by the attempt on a former President’s life at his rally on Saturday night.
