Grass-fed beef not best source of omega-3 fatty acid
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a question about omega-3 fatty acid intake, either through fish consumption or by dietary supplements like fish oil.

Mother can’t stand daughter’s girlfriend
DEAR ABBY: My college senior daughter, “Lisa,” insists on inviting her “significant other” to every holiday and to our home when she’s on break. This is Lisa’s first girl/girl romance, and she thinks she’s in love. This girlfriend has zero personality and adds nothing to our family dynamic. None of us can stand her. How […]
