‘Surviving the Cut’ – Sometimes, I’m Thankful That I’m a Girl [VIDEO]
“This is designed to hurt. This is designed to hurt.”
This was uttered over and over again on a recent episode of “Surviving the Cut,” a kick-ass show on the Discovery Channel.
If you haven’t seen it, it’s an intense look at military elite forces training...
Do Babies and Pets Have Nightmares? [VIDEO]
For whatever reason, this week my sleep has been riddled with nightmares. Super scary, I feel like crawling into my parents’ bed kind of terrifying. So, while I was sweating it out in the middle of the night, too scared to go back to sleep, I began to wonder: what must babies and animals think when they have nightmares?
Now, I don’t have an actual baby, so I’ve never experienced a baby having a ni
What happens when the fishermen become the fish? [VIDEO]
Did you see the images of the Great White Shark that jumped out of the water and landed in a boat? Holy. Crap.
Luckily, the boaters were researchers and not fishermen (or in this case, fisherwomen), so karma was on their side. Still, if that boat didn’t have a bathroom, I would’ve made one if I were on there...
Is Anyone Else Freezing?
OK, OK, I’m kind of being a jerk. But honestly, as I type this, I’m wrapped in a blanket with a heater on.
You see, this is why I don’t mind the 90+ temperatures: people abuse air conditioning. And since I’m freezing at least six months of the year, I have no desire to even have a slight chill during the summer months...
Prescriptions That Cure You. And Kill You.
If you suffer from COPD, you have a hard time breathing. But thanks to breakthrough prescriptions, relief is in sight. However, it will cost you.
Tis the Season for Festivals!
If you’re a foodie – or a beerie – it’s one of the best times to be in Buffalo. The Taste of Buffalo, while packed with hot, sweaty, hungry Buffalonians, is still the place to be this weekend. Food stands as far as the eye can see, each offering their own delicious mini menu of yummy goodness, gives you an excuse to be a glutton. You can counteract all the calories you’re gorging on with the const
Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf Get It On, Say it Isn’t So
So, Shia LaBeouf is telling the world that he and Megan Fox did you-know-what during the filming of Transformers.
Really?
Really?!
Megan, you’re hot. Like super smoking hot. And Shia, well, not only are you less fortunate, you seem like a super huge d-bag, too. There’s a reason your nerdy type was cast as the lead and super sexy Josh Duhamel plays a supporting role. Because you, indeed, fit the ne
Why I Hate My Parents
This weekend marks what used to be my favorite time of the year – the kickoff to summer vacation.
Unfortunately, this means nothing to me now that I’m in the real world. While all the kids are
celebrating their freedom, I’m cursing them, their teachers and, most of all, my parents...
An Ode to Dad.
Today is Father’s Day! And in honor of all fathers out there, I’d like to share a list I’ve made. Similar to my Mother’s Day “Dumb Things Moms Say,” here are some doozies I’ve heard from various dads over my lifetime:
- I used to walk up hill – in the snow – both ways – to and from school
Stay Classy, Vancouver.
If you don’t know me by now, let me assure you that I will never – ever – cheer for a team from New England. Actually, I hope every team has a big goose egg in the “W” column for the entire season. So, obviously when I was watching the Stanley Cup Final, I was cheering for Vancouver all the way. (Sidebar: I probably would’ve been anyway, since I utterly despise any team in the East who’s not the S
