Ask Dr. Gott 1/25

DEAR DR. GOTT: My husband has a problem that so far no doctor has been able to solve. First of all, he is 60 years old and doesn't have many health concerns. He has been to a urologist for a swollen prostate for which he takes Flomax and Avodart. He is also on metaprolol daily. About a year ago, he had a mild heart attack.

Dear Abby 1/24

DEAR ABBY: I know you hear this all the time, but I really can't believe I'm writing to you. I'm a 41-year-old professional man with a great job and a loving family. I have always had a temper, but I'm usually pretty good at keeping it under control. I don't get physical when I'm angry, but I do yell and scream a lot. My wife and teenage daughters get out of my way when I lose it, but I know they're worried about my behavior.

Slow down and enjoy the moment

Twenty-five years ago when Julie and I drove into Statesboro with the kids, we knew we had been blessed by God Who had brought us home. Strangers waved at us as we drove in, the streets were clean and there was little traffic up and down old two-lane Fair Road. I think there were only a few places to eat - mostly family style - and Georgia Southern College had perhaps 9,000 students.
