Funny, that is not the impression I get when data is presented to show how genetics dictate options. Women have their breasts removed voluntarily due to genetics.

I laughed to myself, thinking how simple it would be if there were actual "secrets' to making life better. Be a Goose: It's Good for your Mental Health!by Beth McHughEver been told you're a real goose? Well, from now on you can take it as a compliment instead of an insult. Read the following story about the life habits of geese and discover that, like most animals in nature, they are definitely one up on us humans. Do you have a toxic friend?by Beth McHughAs the saying goes, we can't choose our family, but we can choose our friends. But what if we have chosen a toxic friend? One that seems like a friend, but is subtly undermining us on a regular basis. Was Sexual Violence Awareness Month Successful at Families.com?by Megan BaylissAs Sexual Violence Awareness Month in Queensland draws to month's end, so too does my incessant blogging on focused issues of a sexually abusive nature. Be your own best friend!by Beth McHughIn Who's your best friend?, when you were asked to name your best friend, did you answer with a name other than your own? If you did, it's no surprise.
