I realize i could never be a spy due to the constant growling of my stomach and bones/joints popping and cracking as I walk that would give away my position.

Nutritional labels should include a “What if I ate the whole damn thing” section.

They will, by July 2018.

I laughed way harder than I should have.

Sometimes my comments are so boring I delete them before I finish typing them.

There should be a Sleep Number bed that lets you choose the temperature at which your bed is kept at night.

December 7th, 1941, a day that will live in infamy.  The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, killing over 2400 sailors.

When Camilla Parker Bowles, the Duchess of Cornwall, visited Abu Dhabi in 2016, she was the first member of the British royal family to be protected by an all-women security team. The women wore flowing, black hijabs, are all members of the UAE’s presidential guard, are highly skilled in martial arts and combat, and each one is hiding unidentified weapons on her person.

Some of the best tactical advantage there is.

It’d be terrifying if cold blooded creatures had no upper limit to how active heat made them. Imagine going to the Sahara at noon and seeing snakes and lizards zipping around at 50 mph. Nyoom!

This is a totally appropriate face to make when you see Rihanna IRL.

“A very old man came to my Starbucks.  Halfway through struggling to understand his order through his thick accent, he noticed my necklace.  He stopped and said “your star is beautiful,” and I thanked him.  There was a long pause before he spoke again.  When he did, he said “it is beautiful, but I am having a hard time looking at it.  The last time I wore one, it was mandatory.”

We then spoke to each other in Hebrew for a bit.  But soon enough he stopped again, and looked back to my star.  With one hand he held mine, and used the other hand to shakily touch the sapphires on my necklace.  His lip shook, and tears rolled down his cheeks.  In a shaky, heavily German-accented whisper, he said “I am so happy you are here.  Your generation is here.  We won,” and kissed my hand.”

That old man you're frustrated with for being slow has fought battles you will never, ever imagine. Do you know why? Because he didn't give up, and he did it for you. YOU. Be grateful and care for our aging heroes.
