13 Little Adjustments to Plantar Fascitis
Here are some of the little changes that plantar fascitis has brought into my life. 1. I now walk like an old, old woman.

13 Characters

Suzie Hammaker, aka Mrs. H. – the owner of a great Victorian house in the Willy Street neighborhood of Madison, Wisconsin. She is forced by economics to turn the place into a boarding house.

T13: How to Live with a Hoarder.
Everyone in my family is hoarder. Every single one of us, including me. But enough is enough! When I can’t get through a room without bumping into something, I have to put my foot down. 1. Forgiveness. You’re going to have to forgive your hoarder for something just about every day.

At that time, Beijing was a third world country with a broken asphalt road between the […]
