I expect La La Land to win some of the technical awards - possibly costumes and/or cinematography, and maybe original score.

You touched on it in the article, but I want to reiterate how important it is to be careful with mouse/rate poison. My parents’ dog nearly died when she was a puppy because she ate a mouse that had ingested poison in the neighbor’s basement. The poison doesn’t kill mice right away, and that particular mouse found its…

I fully expect most of headphone companies will make lightning compatible headphones. Just as all the companies making cellphone accessories adapted when lightning cables were first introduced.

This is one of the reasons I love my doctor’s office. It’s a fairly standard family/internal medicine practice, but they started out in the early 1980's as an HIV clinic targeting the large population of gay men in my neighborhood. Over the years, they expanded to also focus on low income populations. They balance the…

The Great Dismal Swamp is a fascinating place. I grew up about 45 minutes away in NC. One branch of my family left England in 1660 to escape religious persecution (they were Quakers). They ended up in Jamestown, but had to leave because their religion was illegal in Virginia. They walked/rafted through the swamp to…

I can see where HGTV and the Gaines might object if the homeowners are using the Fixer Upper or Magnolia names in their rental adds, and that is something they can specifically prohibit in a contract. Otherwise, I don’t think they have any control over how a homeowner uses their property. Are they going to start…

So here’s my theory:

Or the fact that he was taking his already-scheduled return flight to the US.

The facilities are usually open to faculty/staff as well, either for free or a nominal fee. I used to work for UNC-CH, and a 12 month membership to the student rec facilities was $150 ($12.50 payroll deduction each month). Membership included access to two fitness centers, two indoor climbing walls, racquetball and…

Johnson & Johnson’s Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash - super gentle, like baby shampoo for your face. Also relatively inexpensive from amazon. It works as an all-in-one make up remover(including water proof eye make up!) and cleanser, and does not sting/burn my eyes.

I love watching her! I especially love her un-apologetically curly hair.

My mom and I did a 2 week Italy trip in May, and decided museums should have tour group and camera free hours. It was impossible to see some pieces at the Uffizi because of the 15-20 person tour groups that would fill a room and stand around looking bored while their guide droned for ten minutes.

There are pokestops and gyms all over Baltimore, including a gym at the Baltimore City Jail.

Used to be bummed? I’m a 33 year old, curly haired, half ginger, and I was annoyed at the lack of curly hair in Pokemon Go when I downloaded the app a few weeks ago.

Things I know but wish I didn’t know: Gator’s is the restaurant where Josh Duggar proposed to Anna.

There is a BuzzFeed video of Obama listing things that are more difficult than registering to vote. He was shown making/working on the bracelet in the video. I don’t know if he made the entire thing himself, but he definitely made a few of the loops.

The things that gets me is always the formulaic “unexpected” expense. Do they not have home inspectors in Waco? How the hell did you not notice the swarm of bees flying around the house? Of the completely not working a/c unit?

She looked like a cross between Madeline Albright and my mother - it’s a good look.

My quote from the night was “There is more than enough of the American Dream to go around.”

By all accounts from people who know her, she is warm and sentimental when it comes to real, personal relationships. If you watch video of her small group and one-on-one interactions on the campaign trail, she comes across as very warm and friendly. She just isn’t good at being “fake” sentimental during speeches.
