I also have the added quirk of being someone who has …

I bought this little jar of blue analgesic in a dollar store. I had run out of Mineral Ice, which is the product it is obviously intended to imitate. Sometimes, it is blatantly obvious just how simple a product is, and how you can be fooled into overpaying amazing amounts …

Tuli’s Gel Heel Fatigue Mats retail for five dollars and forty-nine cents. In one package comes two mats. The packaging claims that one size fits all, but I don’t understand how that could be the case. These mats were bulky and it wasn’t easy inserting the mats over the …

I was frying some fish for dinner last night when the eyes suddenly exploded. I shouted loudly and ran to the bathroom to clean off the oil. My cousin was laughing at me because she thought it wasn’t serious. But when she came into the bathroom and saw my …
