I am the hardest person on earth to buy things for.  I don’t really NEED anything because if there’s something I want, I either already have one that does the same thing, or it’s too ridiculous… unless someone has a coupon for a 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition. Pin it

The audiophiles in the audience will probably pop a vein when they read that I don’t mind using the stock earbuds that come with the iPhone and iPods. For me, they sound just fine and are way more comfortable than in-ear style earphones that a lot of folks like to use. I can’t do the [...]

Quite simply, the Keurig Platinum Single Cup brewer is the last coffee brewer you’re ever going to need.   In my household, we’re coffee and tea drinkers…iced tea, hot tea, hot chocolate, lattes, hot apple cider….we drink it all. We just don’t drink the same thing at the same time. Pin it
