The pocket watch left by time's arrow

-
I saw a pocket watch
Left on a park table
Next to some keys 
I didn't touch them 
I thought the owner was nearby
But as the moments passed 
No one came to claim them
I walked away and carried on my business 
But I will always wonder 
If that watch 
And those keys 
Were left for me

As I was outside enjoying the sweltering  heat , I started off eavesdropping in on his conversation. He commented on the state of our Gross National Product. He ended up sitting down at my table.We started off with polite banter: the pros and cons of joining certain chambers and networking groups. Blah blah blah. But then we talked about our families.

We talked about dirt roads, gang violence, and tattoos. It was one of the greatest conversations I've ever had with a random stranger. And I loved it. Thank

One of those being that once patients undergo weight loss surgery, “There are neurohormonal changes we see after these procedures that could h

As a matter of fact, Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia are the leading cause of death in England and Wales. Biodesign researchers have concluded in a new study that a common essential nutrient such as choline maybe the key to combating Alzheimer’s Disease. There is a higher rate of Alzheimer’s Disease amongst females. This study was performed on female mice who were bred to develop Alzheimer’s Disease like symptoms. Findings from a similar research study from a group in China proved similar to this study. The Chinese study was performed on male mice. Both studies proved that there are many benefits to a lifelong higher intake of choline supplementation. What is choline? A small amount of choline is made by the body’s liver; however, the majority of choline found in the body is consumed and comes from di
