Next time you're feeling kind of blue, go stick your nose in the armpit of an old lady. According to researchers at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, the armpit odor given off by elderly women can have a "mood enhancing" effect on those fortunate enough to be within sniffing distance. The researchers somehow recruited 300 university students to sample the armpit bouquet of six different age and sex categories: young girls and boys, young men and women, and men and women in their 70s. Sniffers were given gauze pads that the subjects had worn under their arms for six days and told to breathe deeply. The point, apparently, is to establish whether or not hormones can change body odor, which in turn might indicate an individual's aggressiveness or approachability. Young men, incidentally, exude the most unpleasant odor. But we already knew that.

The Road to Recovery

On March 15, 1993, at the age of 40, I can truly say my life began anew, because on that day I took my last drink of alcohol after more than 20 years of pain, misery, and guilt. Mine is a simple story, shared by millions, of being given a second chance to experience the abundant glory that unburdened life offers. Thanks to the fellowship of a wonderful organization and an internal discovery of power greater than myself, I am able to enjoy this blessed life with a clear conscience, steady hands, and a deeper understanding of our reasons for being. I won't bore you with details, but merely suggest that if you are powerless to cope with your own personal fears, don't give up before the miracle happens, there is hope for everyone.
