You drive a huge gas guzzling SUV. Every morning you park on the street when there are plenty of spaces in the parking lot. By parking on the street, the traffic has to go around your car all day (it's a two lane street). The place that you park on the street is where the sidewalk exits the parking ...

Nothing can irk me more than finding out they've discontinued my favorite bra!!! The bra that supported yet still allowed me to look human. And there was no warning, just poof! It's gone! I'm sure most of you would say, "Just go out and buy a new one. There are millions of different...

Every week in the "Shhhh-it!"
