I hope Rick Santorum starts watching Twin Peaks
But is unaware that there was no third season. And he becomes heavily invested both the Dale/Annie romance, and Audrey Van Horne’s character.
I hope Rick Santorum feels really REALLY guilty...

Originally I was going to go to yoga, but I think this is a better plan.

And I really have no idea. Investment? Nope. More space for the kids? Nope.
Really? I think the reason is so I can say “hey, I’m single and making it on my own enough to buy a house.” And that...

I don’t know whether to cry or pull my hair out or both.
Yeah. Can you even imagine talking with a person without money and hearing them say, “How can I feed my three children and myself dinner this week?
Geez. Rich people have all the problems.

I hate the title of this article, but the content is pretty good. It also explains why we’re seeing more and more cases of celiac disease and gluten intolerance — and why going gluten-free is more than just a diet fad. Here’s a taste:
