Don’t use all those eggs in your basket just for you – using your gifts and abilities only for your needs and wants. “I take care of me, and eva’body else needs to take care of themselves.

Well, think back to those Easter egg hunts as a child, when some of the eggs were never located. Later on, when they turned...

NORMAN, Okla.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly wasted little time after a decisive victory in Kansas for abortion rights before sending out a national fundraising email warning that access to the procedure would be "on the chopping block" if her party did not win in the November elections.

John Fetterman, a name he's been familiar with since Fetterman's days as mayor of nearby Braddock. "Dr. Oz hasn't showed me one thi...
