Catching Up with Carol

A Grown Up Haircut
Last spring a dear friend told me, before she sent her teenaged daughter off to college she was going to treat her to a "real haircut." That meant one of those $100 minimum Long Island salons. The same salon where "Mom" goes.

Feature
Interview with Meredith Baxter
There's an old motto that goes, "It's not our drinking that gets us stinking; it's our stinking thinking that gets us drinking." In fact, one could blame misjudgment for a host of wrong choices made in life and relationships. And if you're actress Meredith Baxter, you can fault stinking thinking for three failed marriages and a bout with alcoholism while enduring years of verbal and physical abuse and decades of self-abnegation.

Varicose Veins
Varicose veins affect half of people 50 years or older, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. These enlarged, twisted veins near the skin's surface, occur most frequently in the legs, but can also appear in the ankles. While not a serious condition, it is often an uncomfortable condition and may lead to more serious health issues.
