Alaska varies based on boroughs (we don't have counties) and cities a lot more than most think. While two feet will get school cancelled in most cities, Anchorage has stayed open in the past with 3ft and Valdez got FIVE FEET in 24 hours and we still had to go to school. (Snow plows run 24/7 there most days during…

Meanwhile, in Quebec, Canada, school isn't really cancelled for snow alone.

The point wasn't that they brought him back to life with science.

Perhaps these potty muffins would be fun to use for general cleaning or to help you feel as if you are doing something productive on nights when you are really just watching five or six hours of television: "Dexter marathon AND I am cleaning my pipes!" I like the thought of being able to toss "potty muffins" into…

Love The Princess Bride, but how could you pass up the greatness that is...

I'd also recommend Somewhere in Time.

I will star all Alton Brown things.

This show is so my guilty pleasure.
