Potentially funny thoughts from a local comic
For my next taste test experiment, I am ranking five cheap red wines. With wine available at so many different price points, how do you know which one to buy? I often buy a bottle just because it’s pretty. I may be a savage, but I drink red wine refrigerated. Cabernet Sauvignon is preferential to…
A few weeks ago, we found ourselves binge-watching all the YouTube episodes of Bless this Rank. Matt Mitchell, the man who created Bless this Rank, is much funnier than me. He inspired me to rank several varieties of mass-produced whole wheat bread, which is the main staple food my diet. All whole wheat bread brands…
On November 21, 2020, the Fat Bottom Brackets cycling team met up on their bikes to collect supplies for the Raleigh Rescue Mission so that families in need would have food for Thanksgiving. The Raleigh Cranksgiving event, which is hosted by Oaks and Spokes, began in 2014, though the original Cranksgiving started in 1999, in…

We went on a romantic date to Dollar Tree last Friday evening. There were so many yummy “foods”! All in all, a fun day at Dollar Tree!
I just have a few delights, today! That’s all for Dollar Tree, today, but I have a bunch of upcoming posts: Fancy taste test comparing the $3.00 Cabernet Sauvignon wine from LIDL, Aldi, Total Wine & More, and Trader Joes. Another fancy taste test of whole wheat (what my my refers to as…
When I was 26, my mom introduced me to the 3-step Clinique skincare routine. Even then, I understood the importance of skincare. In this post, I’m going to share some of the products in my skin care cabinet right now. My goal is to have so many skincare products that I never feel like I…
A few weeks ago, I got called to participate in a pandemic vaccine study. It was a hard decision whether or not to participate: on the pro side, I’d make a few dollars and I’d potentially get a vaccine before anyone else. On the con, I was worried I’d have a negative physical or mental…
