Man Charged With Battery by Sausage

Now, I really laughed when I read that headline. Really now, a sausage? Yep it's true. They charged this guy with battery after he hit his mother in the head with a three pound package of Polish sausage. He was in the kitchen cooking and talking on the phone when officers arrived Saturday night. According to his mother, Gregory Allen Praeger, age 46, was drinking and arguing with her. Then he picked up the sausage and hurled it at her, grazing her head. She did not have to go to the hospital as she was not badly hurt. Just about the time you think you have heard everything, something new comes up, doesn't it?

Cancer Center - Prostate Cancer

We are going to the cancer center this morning. My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2000. He had 42 radiation treatments and the cancer went into remission.

I understand they have a radiation pill-like thing they put right under the skin on the stomach area. We will find out soon.
