This woman has a new home remedy for muscle and joint pain: Goat tears! The problem is that goats dont cry easily. She sings Danny Boy, plays sad songs on the violin (shes awful), and reads Romeo and Juliet to her goat herd. She even brings a young goat to visit its mothers grave and says, Thats your mama. We recommend using Thera-Gesic instead. Go Painlessly.
Drugs are everywhere. The use of prescription painkillers has increased dramatically in recent years, and prescription drug abuse is now the nation’s fastest-growing drug problem. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 5 million Americans misuse painkillers each month. Opioid painkillers—a class of very powerful and potentially addicting pain relievers—are the most common source of drug overdose deaths, resulting in more unintentional deaths than cocaine and heroin combined.

The man who gets the most fans to join his team will get to see the other “perform” LIVE at the Goody’s 500 in Martinsville, Va. next spring. The campaign will feature a charity component with a donation being made to the Wounded Warrior Project on behalf of Adkins and BC, and Victory Junction Camp for seriously ill children on behalf of Petty and Goody’s.
