QOTD: Home Remedies

I had a sinus headache for several days and it got me thinking about what we do to avoid going to the doctor. For my headache I’ve run my Neti pot twice a day, applied a warm buckwheat and lavender spa wrap to my head, and, lest you think I’m a hippie, took two ibuprofen every few hours.

QOTD: What Would You #AskObama?

And so, today’s QOTD: Which celebrity breakup actually shocked and/or disappointed you? Or, alternatively, Which couple do you secretly think are destined to end up together forever? Continue reading →

QOTD: What Are You Known For?

Everyone has something that they are notorious for, whether it’s the ability to put one’s entire fist in one’s mouth or recite Pi to 100 decimal places. Are you a math whiz? Trivial Pursuit champion? Unbeatable at backgammon?

Give us something short and snappy that could be put on a headstone, for future generations to admire and wonder at.  Comment

QOTD: Beat The Heat

Yeah, it is that hot. All over North America, and summer has only just started. How do you survive the heat? Do you make a swamp cooler, hang out at the community pool, or just go to the movies where the air conditioning is always set at 67° F?

On a Sunday afternoon you can probably find me floating in Falls Lake with a cold beer in my hand. Today’s QOTD:

What is your favorite hot weather recreation?
