Introductionr In life what you receive is valuable, but what you BECOME is far more in-valuable because no one can take that away from you.

I couldn’t wait to drink. I was obsessed with it.” As I listened, I thought, “Substitute the ‘food’ for ‘alcohol,’ and that’s me.” It was one of the triggers in getting me to lose my weight. It was also the instant I realized that overeating is every bit as much of an addiction as drugs or alcohol.

Being a news junkie, I’m glued to the cable networks. Wedged between the peccadilloes of badly behaving starlets and inappropriately tweeted photos, the anchor brings in two political panelists to discuss the upcoming election (Already? Really? Oy!) To feign “balance” he has a GOP strategist and his Democratic counterpart (as if there are only two sides to a story – but don’t get me started). I don’t remember the first question, and frankly, it doesn’t matter; but what I do recall was once the argument commenced, it became animated without delay.

There are so many reasons why anyone with Angular Cheilitis would want to have it healed as soon as possible. It is not because the disease is deadly. It is not because it is contagious.

While the initial pain of an injury that wasn't your fault is difficult to accept, something that is equally unpleasant is the pain of having to deal with all of the work that goes along with making injury claims.
