I love everything about my 2013 MINI Cooper except the stereo system which is pretty lame by most gadgeteer standards.

My daughter is leaving for college soon, and I reminded her of two things: 1) She’s too young to drink alcoholic beverages, and 2) never drink anything at a party or gathering unless she broke the seal on the bottle or can herself and it has never left her hand and her direct sight. Too

I’m actually happy Harry Potter hasn’t officially been made into a Monopoly game, as it deserves quite a few more bells and whistles than the standard ‘opoly treatment. Lack of an official product has given fans an opportunity to fill that void with extremely creative iterations. I’ve seen impressive printable files on Pinterest over the years,

If your cat doesn’t do much more than lay around the house and sleep or eat, she could probably benefit from some exercise. My cat, Rio, used to get her exercise at 3:00am, dashing around the house like a crazy thing, determined to wake up everybody in the apartment building I lived in at the
