Why my supervisor is truly the dumbest individual...
One of my accounts at work is a regional business that is located in the South. About 6 months ago, we hired (and then decided not to use) a blonde model for our TV shoot. Her name was Heidi.

Contributors include Nick, Dash, Adam, Stephanie, Angela, Kat, Lara, Amanda, Chris, Greg, and Jaime. Stop by and check us out, we’re...

katiebakes: I just can’t really hate on Maureen Dowd today after she totes used an abbrev: The 22nd Amendment — not to mention his dwindling political skills — prevents Bill from doing what he truly wants done: the demolition of the Obama phenomenon.

Never ending parade of crises
First, there was the Mid-Life Crisis. Then, there was the Quarter-Life Crisis. Now, there’s a Thrisis? Honestly, aren’t periodic bouts of ennui and confusion just part of life?
