What a pretty cat!

Ha! I just thought his forehead looked like plastic, but you are dead right about the lion.

Wow. Dropping Satellite, Netflix, and a landline doesn't sound as much like economizing as rationalizing. Truly unnecessary things.

I'm confused about: 1) why you would ever want to put sugar in a smoothie when fruit has plenty of sugar in it as it is, and 2) why anyone would need a recipe for a smoothie, l...
