When Ruth turned sixty-five, she noticed some subtle changes. Time got away from her, energy levels dropped, and her memory wasn’t sharp. She knew it was part of the aging process, but she didn’t like it.
She tried herbal remedies and vitamins. She sent for all the latest treatments advertised on TV to fight the problem. She ate healthy foods, lost some weight, exercised several times a week, but there was little change.
As a last ditch effort, she decided to try the latest Facebook craze. They were a little hard to swallow but at last she thought she felt more energetic.

If it’s on facebook, it has to be true. I think Ruth misunderstood something about recharging. Fun story.
