Botox: The Other Alternative to Wrinkles
Skin Care ColumnThere are both dynamic and static lines on the face. Static lines are there whether you smile or not and they have to do with age and induced changes in the collagen of the skin.
Dynamic facial lines appear as we smile and around the eyes, they are commonly referred to as “crow’s feet.” They are caused by a pull on the skin by the underlying facial mimetic musculature.
Repeated pulling eventually causes structural changes in the overlying skin giving rise to permanent “frown lines” on the forehead, between the eyes, and of course Read More

How the Hen House Turns: Wild Neighbors (Number Four) Skunks
How the Hen House Turns:Our daughter’s pet skunk Streak lived from 1974 until 1981. In those years, wild skunks often dug under the Hen House. They lived there quietly, only occasionally stealing an egg. They probably helped themselves to leftover lay pellets in the birds’ open dishes.

Our only defense was moth balls, which we used to
