Also known as the Blue Room Christmas Tree, the massive Michigan-grown fir from Korson’s Tree Farms rolled up to the mansion in classic style: two majestic Clydesdales, Logan and Ben, pulled the carriage while a military band played festive tunes.

 Ten years after I adopted my late girlfriend's daughter, she stopped me while I was preparing Thanksgiving dinner, shaking like she'd seen a ghost. Then she whispered the words that cracked the world under my feet: "Dad… I'm going to my real father. He promised me something." Ten years ago, I made a promise to a dying woman, and, frankly, it's the thing that's mattered most in my life. Her name was Laura, and we fell for each other fast. She had a little girl, Grace, who had a shy laugh that melted me into a puddle. Grace's bio dad had vanished the second he heard the word "pregnant." No calls, no child support, not even a lame email asking for a photo. I made a promise to a dying woman. I stepped into the space he left vacant. I built Grace a slightly lopsided treehouse in the backyard, taught her to ride her bike, and even learned to braid her hair. She started calling me her "forever dad." I'm a simple guy who owns a shoe re...

There are several conditions that can affect your gallbladder, such as gallstones, acute cholecystitis, gallstone pancreatitis, and on rare occasions, gallbladder cancer. These conditions often require gallbladder surgery, which can sometimes present various side effects. Let’s take a look at what you can expect after gallbladder surgery as well as a few helpful dietary tips.  Changes In Your Body After Gallbladder Surgery The majority of gallbladder conditions are treated with a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal).

  Crumpled raincoat-wearing ‘Columbo’ is one of the most famous TV detectives of our time; he never failed to leave us on the edge of our seats. Just when you thought the bad guy might get away with it, the cigar-smoking super sleuth would show up with just “one nagging detail” that he couldn’t let go. Throughout the 70s the show featured on prime-time television and was then shown less frequently from the late 80s right up to 2003. For years TV detectives had always been a cut above the criminal masterminds they pursued but Columbo turned that stereotype on its head as a shrewd but scruffy blue-collar homicide detective who outwitted the most influential and wealthy of criminals. The much-loved detective, who became a household name around the globe, earned actor Peter Falk four Emmy awards for his work on the show. But behind all the success and fame, there was also another side of Peter Falk. At least if we should believe authors Richard Lertzman and William Birnes, who wrote th...

  When the lights dimmed at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on April 9, 1979, Hollywood held its breath. Behind the curtain stood a man who had become the very definition of American heroism on screen — John Wayne. Cancer diagnosis The 1979 Oscars turned into a night to remember for so many reasons. Acceptance speeches were short and sweet, and Johnny Carson, as always, kept the show rolling with his signature humor. The big awards went to two Vietnam War films, but the heart of Hollywood that night belonged to a true legend, John Wayne. Just three months before the gala, what was supposed to be a routine gallbladder surgery turned into a grueling nine-and-a-half-hour operation for the ‘Duke’. Doctors discovered stomach cancer and removed his entire stomach. At seventy-two, he was no stranger to defying odds — he had survived lung cancer fifteen years prior, losing a lung and several ribs to the disease in 1964. And the year before, he had missed the Academy Awards recovering from op...

In a matter of hours, I went from being the mother of a healthy adult daughter to the sole guardian of her newborn child. What made everything even worse was what happened immediately after. My daughter's husband, the baby's father, couldn't handle it. I watched him hold his daughter once in the hospital. He stared down at her tiny face, whispered something I couldn't hear, and then gently placed her back in the bassinet. His hands were sha...
