You know, I’m not one to do a lot of soul-baring here at The Bolt. A few snippets here and there, maybe, but overall, not so much. However, today was a big day in my world, and I believe that many of you have had days like this as well. So I’m wondering […]
If you think that Alzheimer’s is a disease that only attacks older people, then think again. It seems that you can get it at any age, even as a child.
I first learned about this last month when I read about Leah Garfitt, a six year old child who has Niemann-Pick Type C disease (NPC), a […]
Research presented last week to the American Psychological Association seems to indicate that kids who received physical punishments such as spanking from their parents may very well be more likely to have sexual problems later in life.

Women’s bodies are more sensitive than men’s when […]
Behold, the inventiveness of the human mind.
So over sperm!
In response to society’s desire to eliminate the need for the condom when it comes to preventing pregnancy*, Big Pharma is busy developing male contraception. And it ain’t your mama’s pill. (Of course it’s not.)

Not pregnant? Better leave those car keys at home.
Oh, internet: you never let me down. I learn so much from this wonderful tool. Of course, we all know the only tool that counts is the one that can knock you up, ladies. If you don’t want to die in a car crash, you’d better get […]
