Dear Gail: It’s Always Something

It’s Always Something Dear Gail, Here’s something that’s been troubling me; maybe you can help.  When I was a child, I spent a lot of time at my grandparents’ house where my grandfather would have his friends over and do nothing but talk about their ailments, aches, pains, and endless doctor appointments.
