Why (and How) Your Skin Wrinkles Underwater??

Our skin is made of two layers: the epidermis (the layer you see) and the dermis (the layer underneath that contains blood vessels).

This reduces the volume of the dermis, which in turn reduces the tension with which the epidermis is stretched. As a result, the epidermis "relaxes," forming wrinkles. Interesting.....

Love Is A Decision of The Heart

While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had one of those life-changing experiences that you hear other people talk about — the kind that sneaks up on you unexpectedly. This one occurred a mere two feet away from me. Straining to locate my friend among the passengers deplaning through the jet way, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family. First, he hugged his three children, one-by-one. After several moments, he handed his baby daughter...
