It was up there somewhere. I called it a tornado. Later found out weathermen call it the derecho storm or straight line winds from South…See More

Cure for Hiccups - regardless of age....
Well, you could take this route for hiccups....A woman went to the doctor's office where she was seen by the youngest doctor on staff.
