I have a running jacket that has a deep exterior pocket in the small of my back and it is perfect for keeping my phone out of my way.  I wish more running outfits had this feature.

I tried everything to get my acrylic tub clean: ammonia, bleach (not at the same time - don’t do that, kids!), and plain old elbow grease. I tried the Magic Eraser as a last resort - it truly is a gift from God!

For God’s sake, how do we expect millennials to pay for their avocado toast? Aren’t their student loans enough of a burden?

I can’t believe that NO ONE mentioned Jennifer Hudson singing “Movin’ on Up”.  It was AMAZING!

I always sit at the bar if I am eating alone. It’s much less awkward, the bartender will make some pleasant conversation if he’s not too busy, and I have met some extremely interesting people who happened to be sitting next to me.

No, he just takes the same character and gives it a different name every time.  

Adam Lambert and Kris Allen or GTFO.

This. The kid doesn’t know it’s a big word; it’s just a word. Certain long ones might be a little difficult for them to pronounce, but it’s about as easy to learn the word “extraordinary” as the word “good”.

I discovered this report a couple of years ago. My state requires us to pay sales tax for online purchases when we file our state income tax returns. If you don’t have documentation, the state arbitrarily uses a percentage of your income, which is way too high in my case. I printed out my purchases for the year, and…
