Have you ever had a feeling in the morning when you woke up and you knew something was going to be different? Well it happened to me last Sunday.
Sunday started like any other Sunday. My wife let me slept in and I woke up at 7:30 A.M. It was not a bright and sunny day but it [...]

It’s Earth Day! Oh, hi, it’s me again, guest-blogger, Heather. I’m filling in while Mr. Flohr is away on business. For tree-hugger types like me, Earth Day is becoming like the new Christmas.

Well, it’s me the Fiber guy back from a business meeting and a little vacation. You would not think it would so hard to get back into the swing but it is.

It’s my last guest blog posting, everyone! It’s been fun, but you’ll have Mr. Flohr, the Fiber Guy, back on Monday.

Hi everyone, guest-blogger Heather here.
Wow! I just read the most interesting blog post by Sophie Lee on the EmpowHer site.
It’s all about different U.S. Presidents and their various digestive problems. (Just when you thought you knew about everything on the internet.)

Andrew Jackson – chronic abdominal pain [...]
