Why do some Black male diabetics ditch their medication?. This morning, I was told of yet another African American male in Southwest Virginia who passed away after he stopped taking his Type 2 Diabetes medication. The first time I heard this story was several decades ago and the young man was in his 20s. So it's not just males in later life who are giving up.

Georgia voters kicked out incumbents, picked replacements for departing legislators and set the stage for June runoffs as well as the big show in November. Ballot casters up and down the Peach State made choices Tuesday that are already set to reshape the state Legislature, which could have an even greater effect on the average Georgian than who sits in the White House this time next year.

Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed on blood typically at night. They get that blood from humans or animals. You might not see any during the day because of their being nocturnal. They can hide well like in a small crack or inside the seam of a mattress. An adult bed bug can range from 3/16 to 1/4 inch long. It's pretty repulsive.
