GRAPEVINE, Texas (BP) -- I made an unusual number of visits to the doctor(s) this year. Nothing unusual going on except I had neglected normally annual things for too long and had to catch up with the labs and scans and pokes.

TROY, Mo. (BP) -- Backwards. I do remember sighing in the days of raising my five kids as I realized I put the baby's shirt on backwards. Then I'd look at the toddler to find the same thing. What are the odds? Most of the time when I had all those babies, I never knew if we were coming or going.
