I had all four of my wisdom teeth plucked from mouth back when I was in high school — not because I was in pain, but simply because my dentist at the time told me to. Had I waited much longer to have them removed, he explained,...
I once professed my undying love for downing liquor and then eating enough Chinese takeout to feed the Pentagon. But a man can only handle so much, and I had to make some serious lifestyle changes. So I stopped ordering crab rangoons — a huge loss, I know. Despite...
One of our greatest collective aspirations is achieving the appearance of eternal youth. Our depleted wallets, brimming bathroom cabinets and Botoxed foreheads are just a few testaments to that — the global anti-aging market is predicted to exceed more than $271 billion within the next five years....
Being an adult is the stupidest thing I’ve ever done. I had a whole bunch of awesome hobbies when I was a teenager — playing sports, making music, jumping on trampolines and whatnot — but I had to abandon them all, just so I could make enough...
