What would be super cool is if people stopped inventing apps and training robots to ruin our lives and instead invented a type of cat food that doesn't squirt ungodly gravy all over my wrist when I open the package it comes in.

Absolutely impossible to put to words how awed I am by K.C. and Evan’s commitment to art, Baltimore, community, whimsy, hospitality, and beauty. The Dollhouse is all of that in miniature. I’m so excited to see it debuted to the world!

This story made my whole day.
A nice anecdote to cap the night. Today was an especially long day. As I got out of the car, a group of young black kids maybe 6-8 yrs were out playing. I let Willow out of my car & heard the little girl say: “A dog! Dogs are scary!” The little boy said “They’re ok. Thats Willow & The Professor”

i use Eucerin as it has an SPF in it and also combats eczema.
Hi, have you applied moisturizer to your skin recently? Winter can lead to painful itching and cracking. I like Cetaphil moisturizing cream and Aquaphor, but @jamellebouie.net also recommended cocoa and shea butter.
