She’s adamant that what she’s written so far stays exactly the way it is, but it’s drivel, with poor grammar and run-on sentences and paragraphs that don’t flow. This would be the assignment from hell!”

Coffee Good For Your Health
A new study by the Baker Heart Institute, in Melbourne, Australia, reveals that drinking two cups of coffee a day may cut the risk of heart disease and early death by 15%.
Researcher Peter Kistler says, ''Our data suggest that daily coffee intake shouldn't be discouraged, but rather included as a part of a healthy diet for people with and without heart disease. The biological compounds in coffee can reduce inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity — which reduces blood sugar — and boosts metabolism. It also reduces the gut's ability to absorb fat and blocks receptors involved with abnormal heart rhythms. But our study shows that regular coffee intake is safe and could be part of a healthy diet for people with heart disease.''

Dear Fonseca
I am fuming and am writing to you because I need a release. About an hour ago, my nephew called and told me that my son got arrested on Spring Break. He thinks it was either for underage drinking or using his fake ID. I left a message for my husband because he is working. We told our son not to get in trouble before he left. My nephew says my son needs money for bail. I am thinking about letting him sit in jail rather than bailing him out. He needs to be taught a lesson. My husband, will of course, want to bail him out because he is sometimes soft. What would you do if you were me?
