When is a pen like a knitting needle?

When it’s a de-stresser. Apparently someone has invented a pen that will measure the user’s stress level and give bio-feedback to help that person de-stress!

Family Cable Crossing I just love the way families “happen.” Yes there is always the traditional family which happens when a husband and wife have biological children and this is good.
