You just have to wonder how some of our elderly made it to their 80′s, 90′s or even into their hundreds with all the bad habits some of them have.
I’m sure that must make some people wonder if some of the stuff that we’re told is so bad really is all that bad for us? Yes I’m pretty sure smoking really is bad for us – especially with all the chemicals in the tobacco these days, but you have to wonder about some of the other stuff when you see a picture like this don’t you?
I just wanted to take a moment to wish all my visitors a happy new year filled with health and happiness. May your resolutions not be broken!
Hopefully you didn’t party as much on New Years Eve as this little creature did!
COMMENTS (3)Did you hear about the man, Ronald Evano, that was sentenced last month to more than five years in jail due to his role in a fraud scheme in which he and his wife are said to have intentionally eaten glass fragments in order to collect more than $200,000 in compensation from a multi-state insurance company?
Evano was also ordered to repay as much as $340,000 for his role in defrauding insurers, grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals and doctors in the scheme in which both he and his wife claimed that there was glass in the food that they had eaten.
The couple filed fraudulent insurance claims worth more than $200,000 and incurred more than $100,000 in unpaid medical bills between 1997 and 2005 across several states.
Evano plead guilty to charges in federal court to 20 counts of mail fraud, conspiracy, wire fraud, identity theft, and making false statements on health care matters and social security fraud.
Evano’s wife, Mary, remains a fugitive. An arrest warrant has been issued for Mary Evano listing the same charges that her husband plead guilty to in August.
Evano asked the judge for mercy, saying in court that he and his wife are members of the minority Roma community, and needed the money to pay for dowries and other costs associated with the marriages of his sons under cultural practices.
