"It isn't given to us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. They will not be cured by our most efficacious drugs or slain with our sharpest swords." — Francis Scott FitzgeraldMusic

Bad Idea Jeans – Valentine’s Day Edition

The two-gifts-in-one pepto-bismol pink fleece zip up (“for her”) that came with racy lingerie (“for him”). WTF? Well, this year…it’s worse. The makers of the Hoodie Footie are…Read the Rest
