    Drugs

    Drugs

    These often illicit substances come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They can both cure us and kill us in the same breath. Popping pills can ease our pain, but one can get hooked, as some meds are heavily addictive. They can cause cravings, and even breed killer kingpins who commit crimes in the ugly underworld. Say hello to my little friend. We’ll take a look at legal and illegal drugs on this week’s episode of FYI.

    English at Home

    English at Home

    They say there’s no place like it and it’s where the heart is. It can both a physical place and an obscure concept. In its walls we have everything we’ve ever owned and needed, yet we are always adding to it. We eat, sleep, play, bathe, and even move our bowels in our humble abodes. What would we do without our nest, or a roof over our heads to shelter us from the storm? Who is it? It's me. Welcome to my crib, make yourself at home! We’ll hone in on the home on this week’s episode of FYI!
