The 12,000 Year Old Secret
Humans. How would you feel about living for hundreds or even thousands of years, free from disease and/or chronic pain and other maladies?

My Cat Tri-pod.
Now I know what your thinking, a tri-pod is usually something that has three legs. Yes a tri-pod usually has just three legs and so did my first cat. Our family actually had a couple cats before that, a black and white sister team who were killed together playing in traffic before I can really…
